The concept of delegation is not new. In today's health-care environment and the need for cost containment, using full RN staffing is unrealistic. Knowing the principles of delegation remains an essential skill for registered nurses.

1. What are the responsibilities of the professional nurse when delegating tasks to LPN/LVN or NAP?
2. What factors need to be considered when delegating tasks?
3. What is the difference between delegation and assignment?
What type of nursing delivery model is implemented on your assigned clinical unit?

Kerfuffle Corporation is considering the purchase of a new computer system. The cost for the new system, net of set-up and delivery costs, will be $1.6 million. The new system will provide annual before-tax cost savings of $500,000 for the next five years. The increased efficiency of the new system will lower net working capital by $200,000 today. The CCA rate on the new system will be 30%. At the end of five years, the system can be salvaged for $100,000. The firm’s required rate of return is 15%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the NPV of this cost-cutting project?

​OpenSeas, Inc. is evaluating the purchase of a new cruise ship. The ship will cost $ 495 million and will operate for 20 years. OpenSeas expects annual cash flows from operating the ship to be $ 69.8 million and its cost of capital is 12.1 %. a. Prepare an NPV profile of the purchase. b. Identify the IRR on the graph. c. Should OpenSeas go ahead with the​ purchase? d. How far off could​ OpenSeas's cost of capital estimate be before your purchase decision would​ change? a. Prepare an NPV profile of the purchase. To plot the NPV​ profile, we compute the NPV of the project for various discount rates and plot the curve. The NPV for a discount rate of 2.0 % is ​$ nothing million.

A company ,purchases a new machine with an initial cost of $15,000 and a salvage value of $1,800. Net revenues in year 1 are $ 8,000,$8,150 in year 2, and increase by $150 each year the following eight years. Use a MARR of 12% .

a. What is the annual worth ?

b. Determine the IRR of this machine

Cohesive energy of a crystal is the energetic cost that holds all atoms together in a crystal. It can be determined both experimentally and theoretically. Explain, based on your knowledge on the quantum mechanical nature of non–covalent interactions, why the following statement is incorrect:

Because silicon crystal are bonded together by strong covalent bonds between silicon atoms, non– covalent interactions, in particular, dispersion interactions, play NO role in determining the cohesive energy in silicon crystals.

Concept of cost of capital and WACC Mace Manufacturing is in the process of analyzing its investment decision-making procedures. Two projects evaluated by the firm recently involved building new facilities in different regions, North and South. The basic variables surrounding each project analysis and the resulting decision actions are summarized in the following table.

1. An analyst evaluating the North facility expects that the project will be financed by debt that costs the firm 7%. What recommendation do you think this analyst will make regarding the investment opportunity?

2. Another analyst assigned to study the South facility believes that funding for that project will come from the firm’s retained earnings at a cost of 16%. What recommendation do you expect this analyst to make regarding the investment?

3. Explain why the decisions in parts a and b may not be in the best interests of the firm’s investors.

4. If the firm maintains a capital structure containing 40% debt and 60% equity, find its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using the data in the table.

5. If both analysts had used the WACC calculated in part d, what recommendations would they have made regarding the North and South facilities?

6. Compare and contrast the analyst’s initial recommendations with your findings in part e. Which decision method seems more appropriate? Explain why.

A company has an EBIT of $4,635 in perpetuity. The unlevered cost of capital is 16.22%, and there are 26,490 common shares outstanding. The company is considering issuing $10,160 in new bonds at par to add financial leverage. The proceeds of the debt issue will be used to repurchase equity. The YTM of the new debt is 11.29% and the tax rate is 34%. What is the cost of the levered equity after the restructuring?

1. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $650,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $175,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $23,800.
2. A machine costs $540,000, has a $35,900 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $70,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

A. Why is the equality of marginal revenue and marginal cost essential for profit maximization in all market structures?

B. Explain why price can be substituted for marginal revenue in the MR=MC rule when an industry is purely competitive
