You work for a large consulting firm and were assigned to the Gold Star LAN project. Work on the project is nearly completed and your clients at Gold Star appear to be pleased with your performance. During the course of the project, changes in the original scope had to be made to accommodate specific needs of managers at Gold Star. The costs of these changes were documented as well as overhead and submitted to the centralized accounting department. They processed the information and submitted a change order bill for your signature. You are surprised to see the bill is 10 percent higher than what you submitted. You contact Jim Messina in the accounting office and ask if a mistake has been made. He curtly replies that no mistake was made and that management adjusted the bill. He recommends that you sign the document. You talk to another project manager about this and she tells you off the record that overcharging clients on change orders is common practice in your firm. Would you sign the document? Why? Why not?

Find the following values, using the equations, and then work the problems using a financial calculator to check your answers. Disregard rounding differences. (Hint: If you are using a financial calculator, you can enter the known values and then press the appropriate key to find the unknown variable. Then, without clearing the TVM register, you can "override" the variable that changes by simply entering a new value for it and then pressing the key for the unknown variable to obtain the second answer. This procedure can be used in parts b and d, and in many other situations, to see how changes in input variables affect the output variable.)

8a.  Until fairly recently, the FED did not pay interest on bank reserves but a few years ago the FED changed its policy and currently pays interest on bank reserves.  Under its original policy, for every $100 in checkable deposits how much did banks sacrifice in lost interest income due to reserve requirements if a bank charged 11% on their loans to the public when the required reserve ratio was set at 8%?  

8b.  For every $100 in checkable deposits, how much would a bank lose in interest income (opportunity cost) due to reserve requirements if banks charged 16% on their loans to the public when the required reserve ratio was 15%?  Finally, if you were an investor holding shares of common stock in a commercial bank, how are bank profits (and therefore your returns) affected by changes in the required reserve ratio?  Similarly, how are bank profits affected by changes in the market interest rates which your bank charges on loans to the public?

Suppose you are working as an economic consultant and you are supposed to explain the consequences of the following cases to your clients. Answer each part separately. a) (3 pts) Suppose due to a war in a neighbouring country, the country received refugees which increased the labour force. Also, there is a huge reduction in global oil prices. By using the Aggregate Supply curve, show the possible effects of these two changes on the price level and aggregate output in the Short-Run. Explain each step in your graph. b) (3 pts) Suppose there is an increase in interest rate. By using the Aggregate Expenditure (AE) – Aggregate Output (Y) graph, show the effects of this change on AE and Y in the Short-Run. Then, show the effect of increased interest rate by using the IS curve, explain what will happen to the IS curve. c) (3 pts) Now suppose government expenditure (G) increases and there is an increase in the overall price level (P). By using the IS curve and Fed (Central Bank) Rule curve graph, explain the effect of these changes on the interest rate and output in the ShortRun. Explain each step in your graph. d) (3 pts) Now assume that there is an increase in government expenditure (G), an increase in the labour force and a reduction in oil prices. By using the AS-AD graph, explain the effects of these changes on equilibrium output and equilibrium price level in the Short-Run. Explain each step in your graph. e) (3 pts) Now assume that for some reason Aggregate Demand shifts to the left (downwards) and suppose wages fully adjust. By using the AS-AD graph, show the effects of this shift on the equilibrium output and price level in the Short-Run and in the Long-run.

PDQ Repairs has 200 auto-maintenance service outlets nationwide. It performs primarily two lines of service: oil changes and brake repair. Oil change–related services represent 60% of its sales and provide a contribution margin ratio of 25%. Brake repair represents 40% of its sales and provides a 45% contribution margin ratio. The company’s fixed costs are $15,590,000 (that is, $77,950 per service outlet).

New attempt is in progress. Some of the new entries may impact the last attempt grading.Your answer is incorrect.

Calculate the dollar amount of each type of service that the company must provide in order to break even. (Use Weighted-Average Contribution Margin Ratio rounded to 2 decimal places e.g. 0.25 and round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,510.)

Case Study 1 You are a RN working in ED, looking after Edith, an 87-year-old with an admitting diagnosis of Acopia. All acute interventions have been completed for Edith, but the wards are full, so she will spend the next 8 hours (+) on an ED trolley in a corridor. Case Study 1. The implication in this scenario is that a diagnosis of 'acopia' is a diagnosis based on functional abilities and is a form of labelling.

1. What is the impact of a diagnosis based on the labelling of a patient? Answer this using online learning materials provided and other peer reviewed evidence. Acopia itself is more of a symptom of underlying changes than a diagnosis. 'Acopia' refers to decreased ability to cope/ manage activities of everyday life and is a symptom of increasing frailty. Edith is 87 years of age. Normal ageing process eventually leads to frailty. We studied frail aged in week 8 tutorial (review recording if you have forgotten) and in week 6 online material. Nurses role - Include an analysis of how this labelling impact the care Edith receives.

2. How do normal changes of ageing increase the risk of Edith developing a pressure injury in this scenario? Here you need to consider normal physiological changes that occur as part of ageing to body systems that increase the risk of developing pressure injury. We covered this in week 6 and week 10 online learning and in additional readings. You could easily relate at least 3 systems to this answer. Nurses role - Also analyse the role of the nurse to prevent pressure injury for Edith. Remember the scenario context.

The nursing role is important in this answer
