Explain how the sympathetic nervous system (and endocrine system) act directly to regulate heart rate and thus cardiac output. Include a detailed description of the mechanism (include the target cells, the proteins, signaling molecules, ions, and changes in membrane pontial where appropriate) and explain how the mechanism operates to alter heart rate.Explain how the parasympathetic nervous system acts to directly regulate cardiac output (1 mechanism). Discuss each mechanism separately including a detailed description of each mechanism (include the target cells, the proteins, signaling molecules, ions, and changes in membrane pontial where appropriate). Make clear how each affects cardiac output. This shoul require about half a page.Explain in detail the Frank-Starling law of the heart. Be sure to define what it is, and describe how it operates (the mechanism). Explain why it is an important way that cardiac output is regulated. Demonstrate your understanding by describing a particular scenario when it would operate and its significance.

A $1,000 face value bond has a coupon of 9% (paid annually) and will mature 16 years from today?

A. Assume that the yield-to-maturity is 6%. What is the bond’s: i. Duration ii. Modified Duration

B. Assume that the bond’s yield-to-maturity immediately changes from 6% to 5.9% (the bond still has 16 years to maturity). i. Estimate the % change in the bond’s price using modified duration ii. What is actual bond price (at YTM = 5.9%), and the % price change (from YTM = 6% to 5.9%)?

C. Assume that the bond’s yield-to-maturity immediately changes from 6% to 5% (the bond still has 16 years to maturity). i. Estimate the % change in the bond’s price using modified duration ii. What is actual bond price (at YTM = 5%), and the % price change (from YTM = 6%)? D. Why is the estimated % price change closer to the actual price change in Part B than it is in Part C? Be precise!

Minion, Inc. has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $422,400. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $55,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 14% higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 20% lower. The company is considering a $205,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 6%. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 8,800 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes. Assume the company has a market-to-book ratio of 1.0 and the stock price remains constant.

Sunrise, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $200,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $24,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 15 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30 percent lower. The company is considering a $70,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 7 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 8,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. Assume the stock price is constant under all scenarios. 1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. 2. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession. 3.Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios assuming the company goes through with recapitalization. 4. Given the recapitalization, calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession

The Delta Insurance Company is having a policyholder subsystem which has started giving trouble. Over the years, the application evolved from using fixed length, multi-record type files to using a hierarchic database to using a relational database. The programs did not change much, but the data structures changed radically. Program code was patched to provide for the new data structure. The amount of people-time allocated to policyholder maintenance grew 15% per year over the last five years and is now costing as much per year as it did in 1980 to develop the original application. No one ever considered reevaluating the subsystem for redevelopment, but they would like to now. Upon inspection, the documentation was found to be up-to-date and includes flow charts and data flow diagrams. There are no current diagrams of the data structure. There are also no historical files of decisions or of changes. Apply the concepts of change management to discuss how should the company get this application in order? What type( s) of maintenance should they consider for the next set of changes?
