Tami Tyler opened Tami’s Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler’s personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company probably would have reported at least some profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product—a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

Required:

1. Complete the following:

a. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable and absorption costing net operating income (loss) figures.

3. During the second quarter of operations, the company again produced 33,350 units but sold 38,350 units. (Assume no change in total fixed costs.)

a. What is the company’s variable costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes for the second quarter.

You work for a California textbook company. Henry is auctioning off the rights to his online textbooks sales in Switzerland, which are expected to bring in the following EUR cash flows over the next three years:

                                       Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

EUR Cash Flows 1,000 1,100 1,200

To prepare your bid, you need to calculate the net present value (NPV) of these cash flows in USD terms. You believe that relative PPP is a reasonable tool to use.

The spot exchange rate is 1.20 USD per EUR. Expected US inflation is 2%, and expected inflation in Switzerland is 1%. Your USD discount rate is 9%.

The NPV of these cash flows in USD is: ????

You have a Brazilian partner, who ask for your estimates of the net present value of the EUR cash flows in Brazilian real (BRL) terms.

He asks you to convert the cash flows into BRL (using relative PPP), and to use a BRL discount rate of 25%.

The spot exchange rate is 4 BRL per USD. Expected BRL inflation is 12%. All other information is the same as above.

The NPV of these cash flows in BRL terms is: ????

b.   commissions

c.   merit pay

d.   piecework

Could someone please assist me with the following?

1. in Dementias, Including Alzheimer's Disease Briefly describe the problem indicating the “burden of disease” including morbidity and mortality and changes that have occurred in recent years.

2. Briefly describe the course of the disease or condition using the concepts of incidence, prevalence and case-fatality. If these concepts are not relevant to your subject explain what they mean and why they are not relevant.

3. Identify at least two at-risk groups (those with an increased probability of developing and/or experiencing bad outcomes). Explain why these groups are at-risk of experiencing this health issue. Be sure to connect your discussion to the key categories of social determinants of health as outlined in the text.

4. Identify 5- 8 options for potential interventions to address the problem. For each of the options identify the primary focus in terms of When (Primary, secondary or tertiary prevention), Who (individual, at-risk group, population) and How (education, motivation, obligation, invention). Number each of the potential interventions. Identify each option then bullet or create a table giving your answers to When, Who and How for each option.

Remember tailoring experts Frieda Oglesby, Rena Fitts, and Will Bertrand, who decided to go into business together? Their business, FitzWellby, is one that provides in-home measuring and fittings, and even on-site stitching, for busy executives who don't have time to take their clothing to tailor shops. The business was formed as a general partnership. Bob Strahan joined the partnership as a fourth general partner only one day before Bertrand inadvertently left a client's home unlocked while dropping off a garment; client Veronica Treadwell's home was subsequently robbed.

Treadwell prevails in the lawsuit she filed against FitzWellby; the three original individual partners are also deemed to be individually liable. Faced with the financial realities of this catastrophe, Oglesby, Fitts, Bertrand, and Strahan decide to dissolve the business.

•      What would have been the outcome of the Treadwell lawsuit for Oglesby and Fitts if FitzWellby had been a limited partnership, with Bertrand as the general partner?

•      What would be the distribution of the assets of FitzWellby, the general partnership?

•   How, if at all, would the distribution of assets be different if FitzWellby had been a limited partnership?

The following is a quote from The Economist (Dec. 3, 2016):

“The dollar has been gradually gaining strength for years. But the prompt for this latest surge is the prospect of a shift in the economic-policy mix in America. The weight of investors’ money has bet that Mr. Trump will cut taxes and spend more public funds on fixing America’s crumbling infrastructure. A big fiscal boost would lead the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at a faster rate to check inflation. America’s ten-year bond yield has risen to 2.3%, from almost 1.7% on election night. Higher yields are a magnet for capital flows.”

There has also been Fed attempts to raise interest rates recently.

EXPLAIN IN A PARAGRAPH: Will higher US interest rates strengthen the USD? Agree or disagree. Explain fully. Also, will the resulting change in the USD (from your analysis) be consistent with President Trump’s overall economic perspective on trade and US manufacturing.

Please address these questions from a Jan. 1, 2017 perspective for that time period.

1. Assume the following information:​

​

1. An U.S. investor has $1,000,000 to invest (note: the investor uses own money, not borrowed funds). What is the yield to the U.S. investor who conducts covered interest arbitrage? Make sure you show your works step by step and explain your calculations. Does covered interest arbitrage work for the U.S. investor?

2. A Swiss investor have Swiss francs (CHF) 1,000,000 to execute covered interest arbitrage (i.e., convert CHF into US$, invest in the U.S., and use forward contracts to hedge foreign exchange rate risk). What is the yield to the Swiss investor who conducts covered interest arbitrage? Can the Swiss investor earns a higher return than investing at home (i.e., Switzerland)? (6 points in total)

. Investigate the Paleo, Keto, Mediterranean, and Adkins diets.

What are the similarities and differences?

What are the pros and cons?

Are they for everyone?

You will need to do some searching on the Internet, talk to nutrition or chef who specializes in these diets, or find a book in the library. You can start here:

Paleo Keto Atkins Mediterranean But you will need to look in other places to understand the pros and cons.

2. Investigate ancient grains and Pulses.

Why are people turning to these foods? What connection do these have to intestinal conditions and the immune system?

3. Investigate GMO (Genetically Modified Foods) What are they, Why do we have them, are they good or bad?

Start with the WHO site but go deeper to see the pros and cons. This is a very controversial topic. 4. Why are fats now ok?
