Compute the dollar amount of change and the percentage of change in Tropical ?Enterprises's working capital each year during 2019 and 2018. What do the calculated changes? indicate?

Begin by selecting the formula to compute the working? capital, the dollar amount of change and the percentage of change in Tropical ?Enterprises' working capital.

Working capital =__________________________________

Dollar amount of change = __________________________

Percentage of change = _________________________________

?First, calculate the amount and percentage of change in working capital in 2018. ?(Round the percentage to one decimal? place, X.X%.)

The amount of change in working capital is ________

The percentage of change in working capital is _________%

. ?Next, calculate the amount and percentage of change in working capital in 2019. ?(Round the percentage to one decimal? place, X.X%.)

The amount of change in working capital is__________ .

The percentage of change in working capital is_________ %.

What do the calculated changes? indicate?

Tropical ?Enterprises' working capital has ? -deteriorated or improved -year over year from 2017 to 2019.

The real growth rate is calculated by

-          The BEA adjusting the GDP for inflation

-          The BEA using nominal rates to reflect the GDP

-          The BLS adjusting the GDP per capita for inflation

-          The BLS calculating price level changes and population changes

Productivity growth is usually an indicator of

-          The possibility of inflation

-          Future increases in the unemployment rate

-          The decline in the health and prosperity of the economy

-          The increase in the health and prosperity of the economy

What would NOT be one of the reasons for a much lower real GDP in 1905, compared with 2007?

-          Productive capability in 1905 was lower than in 2007

-          Fewer goods and services were available in 1905 than in 2007

-          On average, there were fewer poor people in 1905 than in 2007

-          Automobiles were rare in 1905, but common in 2007

By 2016, economists had drawn what conclusion about the very low productivity growth that lasted from 2005 to 2015?

-          It was merely a temporary pause in otherwise strong productivity growth

-          Productivity slowed because of government overregulation

-          Productivity slowed because of a decrease in investment

-          Productivity averaged only 1.2 percent during that time

Problem 1. Mitochondria may be prepared from cells and tested in cell free experiments. If supplied with pyruvate and oxygen, isolated mitochondria are capable of aerobic metabolism.

C. You as the investigator measure the energy state of the mitochondria as the ratio [NADH]/[NAD+]

1. Describe how the ratio is high and low for high and low energy charge, respectively

2. You remove the supply of oxygen. Explain how the ratio changes in response

3. You add an inhibitor of ATP synthase. Explain how the ratio changes in response

D. You as the investigator makes three measurements at the end of a test that lasts 10 min (exact time is not important). You measure 10 nmol (10-9 moles) of pyruvate consumed (this number is important). You also measure the nmol of CO2 and citrate produced.

1. Explain how 30 nmol of CO2 were produced.

2. Explain how 0 nmol of citrate were produced.

3. Based on the measurements above, predict how many nmol of acetyl-CoA were produced. Explain.

LG

Following is the seven-year forecast for LG: (all amounts in $000)

Beginning after year 2026 the annual growth in EBIT is expected to be 1.5%, a rate that is projected to be constant over LG remaining life as an enterprise.   Beginning in 2026 LG capital expenditures and depreciation are expected to offset each other (capex - depreciation = 0) and year to year changes in working capital are expected to be zero (working capital levels remain constant year over year). For discounting purposes consider 2020 as year 1.

Assume a tax rate is 21% and a cost of capital of 7.75%

Calculate the fair market value (NPV) for LG. Assume that the Net Present Value of LG free cash flow for the period 2020 - 2026 is $3000

Which of the "Seven QC Tools" would be most use­ful in addressing each of the following situations? Explain your reasoning. A copy machine suffers frequent paper jams and users are often confused as to how to fix the problem. The publication team for an engineering depart­ment wants to improve the accuracy of its user documentation but is unsure of why documents are not error-free. A bank needs to determine how many teller posi­tions, drive-through stations, and ATM machines it needs for a new branch bank in a certain busy location. Its information includes the average numbers and types of customers served by other similar facilities, as well as demographic informa­tion to suggest the level of customer traffic in the new facility. A contracting agency wants to investigate why they had so many changes in their contracts. They believe that the number of changes may be related to the dollar value of the original contract or the days between the request for proposal and the contract award. A travel agency is interested in gaining a better understanding of how call volume varies by time of year in order to adjust staffing schedules.

In the dataset airways (see R code), we have the change in airflow from moderate exercise for 19 subjects under 2 different exposure conditions – regular air (air) and 0.25% sulpher dioxide (so2).

a) Look at the correlation, and use the t-table to test the null hypothesis that air flow change under these two conditions is uncorrelated. Test at significance level 0.05. Show your work.

b) Use a linear model and the summary function in R to test the null hypothesis that air flow changes are uncorrelated among people at the alpha = 0.05.

c) Look at the scatterplot of the airway changes. Does a linear model fully explain the relationship between these variables? Why or why not?

R codes:

Below are pairs of economic outcomes in (a)-(g). For each pair, provide 1 Determinant Change or 1 Monetary Policy stance (Expan or Contr) or 1 Fiscal Policy stance (Expan or Contr) that could cause the pair of outcomes under the assumptions of: wages are rigid (expect for (g)); secondary effects are smaller than initial effects; international financial account responses are stronger than international current account responses; and default concerns are low. Determinant changes / policies may be repeated. a. Unemployment rises, Real GDP rises b. Real GDP falls, Flexible Exchange Rate depreciates c. Real Interest Rate falls, Unemployment falls d. Inflation falls, Budget Balance moves toward surplus e. Real GDP rises, Official International Reserves rise. f. Inflation rises, Flexible Exchange depreciates g. Wage Rate falls, Interest Rates rise h. Choose 1 of your (a) – (g) answers and provide a brief analytical chronology of how the determinant/policy change leads to the 2 outcome changes.

Clearly, things are beginning to change, especially with Georgia's Tom Price out as head of DHHS. Nonetheless, the midterm assignment for this course is to prepare a 5-page paper in APA-format which addresses one of the following topics integral to the US Affordable Care Act. You are allowed to use appropriate resources such as information from prior courses, briefs or white papers from the "think-tanks" listed at the bottom of the module section, peer-reviewed articles from journals such as Health Affairs, JAMA, NEJM, Lancet, etc. Be sure to check the Due Date...late assignments will not be accepted without a "one-letter grade per day" penalty.

Your paper should provide an introduction to the topic, 3-5 major issues related to each topic, conclusion, and any recommendations you might have to improve upon issues related to that particular topic. Remember to note any significant changes or discussions about significant changes (if any) to your topic since the current administration took office.

1. Payment Systems in Healthcare (Fee For Service, PPOs, Prospective Payment Systems, etc.)

I need Paraphrase:

Mental health is an integral and essential component of health.
The WHO constitution states: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Mental health is fundamental to our collective and individual ability as humans to think, emote, interact with each other, earn a living and enjoy life. On this basis, the promotion, protection and restoration of mental health can be regarded as a vital concern of individuals, communities and societies throughout the world.

1. Causes

There is no single cause for mental health disorders; instead, they can be caused by

a mixture of biological, psychological and environmental factors.

People who have a family history of mental health disorders may be more prone to developing one at some point.

Changes in brain chemistry from substance abuse or changes in diet can also cause mental disorders.

Psychological factors and environmental factors such as upbringing and social exposure can form the foundations for harmful thought patterns associated with mental disorders.

Only a certified mental health professional can provide an accurate diagnosis of the causes of a given disorder.

Several companies have done a poor monitoring of the social aspects of the external environment. This meant that their strategies did not fit the needs of the market, and hence they failed. This is most noticeable among firms who market to Generation Y. This target group consists of customers who range in age from 5 to 20. Dubbed Gen Y" this cohort presented a big challenge to marketers such as Levi Strauss, Nike and Pepsi because of their unique tastes and perceptions of product quality and advertising themes.

Companies that succeeded in reaching Generation Y customers accurately sensed the unique needs of this market. For example, Lee Apparel (a competitor of Levi Strauss) introduced a special line of oversized, multipocketed pants aimed at 10-14 year old boys. This unique product was marketed on the internet, outdoor posters, and skateboard magazines. By carefully customizing their marketing, successful companies (such as Coca-Cola, Tommy Hilfiger, and Motorola) penetrated a market which was seen as impregnable by others.

While it is difficult to accurately forecast social changes, how can firms best factor these changes into their strategies in order to be successful?
