I am using IntelliJ IDEA with JavaFX to build a travel expensive calculator, but somehow it 

wouldn't calculate total expensive? It was working until I add the TextFieldListener because I need to make sure user

only input either mile driven or airfareCost. Please help me figure out what I did wrong.

Read the following scenario and write three (3) nursing diagnosis/PES statements that would be appropriate for Millie. Identify your problem, etiology, and sign/symptoms.

Correct Nursing Dx/PES statement for scenario

Identification of problem, etiology, and signs/symptoms

I’m Millie. I have lived in the same small house for the last 50 years. Harold and I raised our dear daughter Dina here and we had many good years together as a family. Harold passed last year, he was 91 you know, and I miss him terribly. I think about him every day. We were married for 68 years, most of them were happy. We did struggle with money at times, but who didn’t? All of our family lived close by and I spent many a Sunday cooking for 15 - 20 after church. Our home was always full of people; many of them are gone now. Snuggles, my cat, keeps me company. Snuggles is about 10 years old; she is a stray who just showed up on my doorstep one day and she’s been here ever since.

I’ve always kept myself busy, I sing when I can in the church choir and I volunteer in the church kitchen. I still love to cook; the church is always asking me to make my famous chicken and dumplings when we have special dinners. I can’t do as much as I used to, but that’s ok. I am fortunate to have many close friends from church.

I also enjoy gardening and I am known for growing my prize roses. My rose garden is not quite as big as it used to be, but I still like to get outside and work with the soil and the flowers. The fresh air does me some good. There are enough roses to cut several large bouquets every summer and I share them with my daughter and my friends. Did you know that my roses used to win blue ribbons at the county fair almost every year? Since Harold is gone, I go over to my daughter Dina’s house every week to visit and see my grandkids. Dina is a good cook, but her dumplings aren’t quite as good a mine and I try to make a batch to take with me when I can. Dina works every day at school so she is busy most of the time. She is a good daughter and she helps me when I need to get to the doctor. She also picks up groceries for me once and awhile. I have three grandchildren. Jessica is 17 and she graduates from high school this year. Daniel is 14 and he is a handful! He can give his mother trouble about getting his homework done and I don’t think his grades are very good. I know Dina worries about him. Megan is 12 and she is such a sweet child. She likes to help me with my roses in the summer.

I went to the doctor last week to get my blood pressure and my cholesterol checked. He wants to start me on a new pill for cholesterol. I already take about six or eight pills every day. I hope this new pill isn’t too expensive, I already have to pay a lot for my medications and I don’t get the pension anymore since Harold died. I don’t know how Harold paid all the bills, it doesn’t hardly seem like there’s enough money for all that medicine.

I am lucky that I can still get around pretty well and my house is not too big. My knees are pretty bad; I think they are just worn out. They hurt a lot. I am thankful that I can still tend my roses. My bladder isn’t as good as it used to be, I have to use Depends now and I worry that someone will notice the odor. I can’t laugh anymore; the leakage is getting so bad. But things like that happen when you get to be as old as I am. I can’t complain.

Ann is a recent engineering graduate with two years experience in her current role and is currently looking at getting a Masters degree.

She is currently paid $60,000 per year, which she expects to increase at a 4 percent rate until she finally retires. Ann is currently 25 and expects to work for 40 more years. Her current employer offers a benefits package that includes health insurance. Ann has saved enough money to pay for a possible tuition expense and is currently taxed at 23 percent.
Ann was accepted at two of the programs she was applying to and is debating whether she should enroll in one of those programs. The details for each of the programs are as follows:

• Program A is a two-year full time program with an annual tuition of $50,000 due at the beginning of each academic year. According to the program's website, books and other required supplies are estimated to cost about $3,000 per year. The school offers a health plan for $5,000 per year.
• Program B is a one-year full time program with a tuition of $70,000 due at the beginning of the program. Although the supplies were not listed specifically on their information packet, Ann estimates a total cost for supplies and books of around $7,000. The school offers a health plan for $6,000 per year.

Both Programs offer on-campus housing which, according to Ann's estimates, should save her about $5,000 per year. Since both programs are full-time, she will need to leave her current employer if she decides to accept any of the offers.

Ann is anticipating that she will be able to secure a job offer for about $85,000 per year after graduating from program A, with a $7,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will probably increase at 5 percent per year. Since the pay is much higher than her current income, Ann expects her average tax rate will increase to 30 percent.

For program B, Ann thinks that she will most likely be able to get an offer of $75,000 per year upon graduation, with a $6,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will increase at 4.75 percent per year and, due to the increased level of income, her average tax rate will be 28 percent.

Given the risk of starting a new degree, Ann feels that the appropriate discount rate is 6 percent.

1. Does Ann's age have any impact on her decision to get a Masters degree?
2. Are there other factors that could impact Ann's decision? If so, what are those?
3. What is the best option from a strictly financial standpoint? For simplicity, assume all salaries are paid in full at the end of each year.
4. Ann was discussing her analysis with a friend, who mentioned she should calculate the future value of each of the scenarios. How would you evaluate this statement?
5. Although Ann believes she'll be able to get jobs paying the amount stated above for each of the programs, she is trying to understand better how much the initial salary estimate is impacting her decision. Assuming all else equal, what would the initial salaries be for each of the programs so that Ann is financially indifferent between attending that specific program or staying in her current position?
6. Discuss the impact that initial salary and growth rates have on the analysis.
7. Suppose that you need to borrow money at a rate of 5%. Does that change the answers above? What about at 10%?

The following case study provides information for a hotel chain. They have recently conducted a customer satisfaction survey. Given these research results and the other information in the case, what advice would you give them? This is a good exercise in utilizing the results of market research.

ACTIVITY/TASK

The Quick-Stop Hotel Chain

Quick-Stop Hotels is a small hotel chain located along on the north coast of New South Wales. This chain consists of five different hotel complexes located several hours drive apart along the main coastal highway between Sydney and Brisbane.

Their prime target market is the family segment. This is because families often choose to drive from Sydney to Brisbane (or Brisbane to Sydney) and back again for their holidays. As this trip is around a 12-hour drive, many travelers choose to stop overnight in order break up their journey. Therefore, Quick-Stop has deliberately chosen popular stopover towns for their hotels.

In line with this location strategy, they promote themselves with the slogan, “the “perfect place for a break”.

Their individual hotels vary a little in quality, but all have either a 3 or a 4 star rating. This means that they are either medium (3 star) or good (4 star) quality in terms of facilities and general standard of accommodation. On average, they each have around 80 rooms and a fairly broad range of facilities (that is, a heated swimming pool, room service, restaurant and bar, a kid’s club during school holidays, a small gym, and some have tennis courts and a couple of stores).

In terms of promotion, they are heavy outdoor (billboard) advertisers on the coastal highway. They also advertise in various holiday and travel directories, and on the government tourism website.

As you can see from the table below, they vary pricing throughout the year. Pricing is generally used as a tool to increase demand in the low season and to increase revenue in the high season. This is necessary as they have highly seasonal demand, being frequently being booked out over the Christmas holiday period, and with very high demand in other school holiday periods.

The table also shows the results of a customer satisfaction survey for Quick-Stop Hotels. On average, 80% of customers indicated that they were satisfied with their stay and 10% were delighted with their stay. However, 10% indicated they were dissatisfied. These figures vary by season, whether the customer was a first-time customer, and by the quality of the individual hotel. Additionally, the table includes information on average room rates (per night) and occupancy levels. (Note: The occupancy level is the percentage of rooms occupied per night.)

QUESTIONS

1. Review the customer satisfaction information. Does it make sense? Why/why not?
2. Given these research results and the other information in the case, what advice would you give this firm.
3. Which of the above metrics did you find helpful? Which did you ignore?
4. What other information would have been helpful?

Tutorial 7

1.         X, Y and Z run a Townsville based import/export business in partnership and have done so for some years. When the business was established they contributed differentially to the capital of the partnership. Their individual contributions were:

X       -                 $80,000

Y       -                 $70,000

Z       -                 $50,000

To take this into account the partnership agreement provided that each partner was to be entitled to receive 10% interest per annum on his or her capital contribution. Residual profits were to be shared in the proportion in which the partners had contributed to capital. The agreement provided that individual partners could, with the consent of their co-partners, draw amounts in excess of those provided for but that, if they did, such drawings would be debited in their current accounts in the books of the partnership and would incur interest at 10% per annum payable to the partnership.

The agreement also provided that each partner is allowed to draw up to $52,000 for the year as an advance against profits.

Last year the partners decided to establish a branch office in Singapore. X agreed to lend the partnership the $250,000 that would be required at 10% per annum, the interest being paid annually as a first charge against profits and the capital being repayable upon demand. The entire capital advance remains outstanding.

Y agreed to manage the new office, leaving X and Z to operate the Townsville main office, and he moved to Singapore with his family last July. It is expected that he will remain in Singapore for at least 3 years though, ultimately, he intends to return to Townsville. To compensate him for the additional costs to which Y will be put his fellow partners agreed that he should receive $1,000 weekly salary in addition to his share of profits rather than as a payment on account of those profits.

During the current tax year the firm’s accounts showed the following receipts and business related (and deductible) outgoings (exclusive of any payments made to partners):

Receipts            Outgoings

Townsville office:                           A$600,000         A$250,000

Singapore office                            A$200,000         A$100,000

            (Note: the outgoings exclude ALL payments to partners.)

They also show a receipt of $4,000 (via a book entry not included in the above figures) being interest debited in Z’s current account on excess drawings of $40,000 during the year to finance extensions to his home.

Calculate:

(a)       the partnership net income; and

(b)       the taxable income of each partner.

Explain in detail why you include or exclude individual amounts in your calculations at each stage.

2.     Hank and Irma have operated a trucking business in partnership since 1990. To establish itself, the partnership initially borrowed heavily and Hank and Irma only contributed a small amount of capital themselves. The partnership now owns a warehouse and leases three trucks. It is very profitable.

Hank and Irma have three children: Tim aged 12, Anne aged 16 and Jane aged 18. Tim is at school, Anne is also at school but is interested in working in the business and Jane is at University.

Hank and Irma have heard that they might be able to reduce their overall tax liability – for BOTH the current year and future years – either by making the children partners in the firm or by making an Everett assignment to an existing discretionary trust in which the children are beneficiaries. It is now late April this year (towards the end of the current tax year). They seek your urgent advice.

Briefly discuss the income and CGT implications of each of those two options.

Please read the background information and answer the following questions

Background: Country Table Potato Chip Company is a small, privately owned company that produces a limited line of snack foods sold in a three-state range including most of Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. The company has been in business for 57 years and was started by Franklin Brewster. Frank developed a faithful following for his chips as a result of a cooking process that sealed in flavor. The brand name is well respected in the region. The company was run by George Brewster (third generation) for the past 31 years until his recent death. The company has been handed over to the fourth generation of the Brewster family, Ms. Emily Brewster. Emily has a financial background and has worked in the company in the accounting department for the past eight years.

She wants to take the company in a new direction, knowing from her accounting knowledge of the company that some changes need to be made. She admittedly understands the “bottom line”, but little else about running a business. She has brought in a new team to assist her. You have been hired as the marketing team member to develop the new direction for the company.

From background interviews, you have learned the basics of the company’s history. The company has been regional since its inception. There was some interest in a potential buyout of the company by Frito-Lay five years ago, but the negotiations stalled and Frito-Lay lost interest. Emily has expressed interest for some sort of merger of the company in the future.

The company’s product line consists of six types of potato chips (regular, barbeque, and cheddar cheese flavors all in a thin chip and ruffled chip texture). In addition, the company has regular and cheese flavored popcorn, pretzels, and peanuts. All potato chip products are fried in peanut oil while the other products are baked. Ten products in all, with no change to the product line in the past eight years. Products are packaged in “family sized” bags of seven to ten ounces, depending upon the product.

Years ago, Country Table chips were seen as a “premium” product and priced above other competitors. In the last five years, retail prices to consumers have decreased in response to competition and to the large grocery chains pushing for lower prices to them. Originally, the company sourced their potatoes from a premium supplier in Idaho. Those potatoes were part of the original “flavor formula” that gave their chips a distinctive taste. A few years ago, George Brewster decided to source potatoes from a co-op in order to lower costs. These potatoes were indeed cheaper, but the quality and flavor profile were not as good.

All products are made in five factories, spread out across the three states mentioned above. All distribution is done through a fleet of company owned trucks and delivery vehicles working out of a total of 27 regional offices. Frank Brewster relied on “word of mouth” advertising based on the company’s brand. Also, their fleet of company trucks acted as rolling billboards for the products. Country Table has concentrated on placing their products in grocery store chains and larger convenience stores.

The company is “old school” in that very little has been done to keep up with technology. The company does have a website and offers customers a way to suggest improvements. One consistent theme from customers is a need to expand the flavors of potato chips to keep up with competitor product offerings.

Overall, the industry for snack foods has been increasing. In the past five years, industry sales have increased at a rate of 3% per year. However, the mix of product lines has been shifting. Traditional fried chip products have seen an annual decrease of 4% over the same period. Other new, more healthy snack products have seen a growth rate of over 6% a year.

Country Tables’ unit sales have been essentially flat for the past three years. Profits have been decreasing about 3% per year as a result of higher costs and lower prices. Lower prices have been offered in order to offset competitive efforts to take sales away from Country Table.

Questions:

• If you proposed any new products in the product section, what promotional activities would you recommend for those new products?
• Emily has a financial background. What stage(s) of the product development process do you think she would be most interested in?
• If you proposed new products in the product section, what impact does that addition have on distribution?
• Are there any packaging changes you would recommend?

Research should be memo and  should include the following five sections:

(1) Facts, (2) Issue, (3) Authorities, (4) Conclusion, and (5) Analysis.

Scenario. Mary and John were married during the years at issue (i.e., years 2014, 2015, and 2016). They separated in 2016 and divorced in 2017 after nearly 20 years of marriage. At the time Mary filed her petition, she resided in Maryland. She holds a high school diploma and attended the University of Delaware for six months, taking noncredit courses in the data processing. While married, Mary and John owned the marital home, two rental properties and a farm. As having a large blended family, they owned a large van in addition to two pickup trucks and an Oldsmobile Cutlass, which John described as a "classic car". They took family vacations each year, including trips to Bermuda and Mexico. They enjoyed camping, and throughout the years they purchased several campers, which they used on family camping trips every few months. John owned VIP Builders, which was the primary source of the family's income. Established in the early 1990s, VIP Builders is a home improvement company focusing on residential remodeling. A carpenter by trade, John operated the business, but he did not have the bookkeeping background to maintain the company's records. He hired Mary to be the company's bookkeeper and office manager. Their relationship blossomed, and they eventually wed. Mary was VIP Builders' bookkeeper/office manager for approximately 20 years, including the years at issue. She developed and maintained the accounting program used by the business. Her duties included: (1) managing the company's financial records, bank accounts, and American Express credit card account; (2) managing the company's "end of the month check run", which reconciled all charge accounts that VIP Builders had from its vendors, roofing suppliers, lumber yards, plumbing supply houses, and other subcontractors; (3) reconciling the company's bank and credit card statements; (4) managing the accounts payable and accounts receivable; (5) tracking inventory; and (6) managing the company's payroll. To these ends, Mary had the authority to write and sign checks on behalf of VIP Builders, deposit money into the company's accounts, and prepare checks and receipts for the business. Mary was familiar with VIP Builders' clients and knew, or at least could have learned, the amounts they paid the company. Before becoming VIP Builders' bookkeeper, she had other experience in accounting. When Mary managed VIP Builders' finances, her duties included the end-of-year accounting for the company. She reviewed the company's books and provided information and documents to the company's certified public accountant (C.P.A.), Joe Taigi, who prepared Mary and John's joint tax returns. Mary also met and interacted with Mr. Taigi during the years involved. She admitted to "booking things wrong" for VIP Builders and was advised that she had done so by Mr. Taigi. 2 For 2014 Mary and John's joint returns underreported income attributable to VIP Builders; for 2015 the returns underreported income and overstated expenses attributable to VIP Builders. The IRS made no adjustments with respect to VIP Builders for 2016. In addition to working for VIP Builders, Mary operated a horse care and boarding business on the farm that she and John owned. She exclusively controlled the business, and under her stewardship, the business' income for each of the years involved was underreported. All adjustments made by the IRS for 2016 were due to underreported income with respect to the horse care and boarding business. Mary wrote checks drawn on VIP Builders' bank account to herself, and she used the VIP Builders' American Express credit card to pay horse care and boarding business and household expenses. Mary was given the joint income tax returns for 2014, 2015, and 2016 before they were filed, but she did not review them before signing them. Mary was not a victim of spousal abuse or domestic violence during the years involved. The IRS tries to collect the joint tax liabilities of years 2014-2016 from Mary. Instruction: Provide your advice to Mary who is appealing the case.

This assessment task aims to develop your ability to apply the first three phases of the clinical reasoning process, at an introductory level, to the patient scenario below.

You are a student nurse working with a school nurse (registered nurse) in a secondary school. You and your mentor are supervising a bubble soccer match this afternoon (26^th March) which commenced at 1400 hrs. The match goes for 40 minutes with a 5-minute break in between the two halves. It is a hot and sunny day, the air temperature is 32 ^oC and the humidity is 45%.

After the match, your mentor asks you to perform a range of health assessments to make sure the students are fit to go home.

Jessie Lin is 16 years old and in Year 11.

It is now 1450 hours. You assess Jessie's vital signs and record the following results:

• Temperature (tympanic) 38.5 ^oC
• Pulse rate 140 beats/min
• Respiratory rate (RR) 29 breaths/min
• Blood pressure (BP) 130/70 mmHg

Jessie has flushed skin (see picture above) and her t-shirt is soaked. Her past medical history has not yet been documented in the school record as she is a new student and only enrolled in the school last week after moving from another state. She informs you that her mother is waiting for her in the car park, but she feels very hot and that her heart feels like it is beating very fast. She asks you for a bottle of cold water and a chair.

Jessie's previous observation records (on a clinical chart) are:

What you need to do in your clinical reasoning report

• Provide a concise summary of Jessie's situation as an introduction to your report (approximately 50 words) - what pertinent information would someone reading your report need to know about who Jessie is and the context of this scenario?
• List the objective and subjective data (cues) that you have gathered from reviewing the information provided above (approx. 50 words)
• Analyze and interpret the identified cues and explain the assessment findings in relation to Jessie's context (approx. 450 words)
  
  To do this successfully, you should:
  
  • categorize the cues and identify what elements are normal or abnormal, and
  • compare the current situation and vital signs with previous health information known about Jessie, and
  • recall and apply knowledge of anatomy and principles of physiology (including concepts of homeostasis and the body's responses to physical activity) to explain her vital signs and other cues.
• Then propose what further cues you want to collect and explain why these are relevant and important to the situation (approx. 450 words)
  
  To do this successfully, you will need to form a logical opinion about what the further cues should be, when you would undertake the assessments to collect these cues (e.g. after some immediate actions for Jessie) and why these cues should be assessed. Relate your justification to Jessie's situation AND to the principles of anatomy and normal physiology (focusing on homeostasis).
  

Suggestions for structuring your clinical reasoning report

There is no set template for how you have to structure your report as long as the sequence of the information that you present flows logically and the reader can follow your clinical reasoning as it unfolds.

The following suggestions are based on answers to frequently asked questions:

• Section headings can be a helpful signpost for how you have applied the clinical reasoning process.
  You may choose to use some of the keywords from the phases of the clinical reasoning cycle (e.g. Patient Situation, Cue Collection and Processing Information, Further Cue Collection) or any other headings are also fine.
• You may use a table to present the objective and subjective cues that you have gathered and which elements are normal or abnormal if you wish. In this particular assignment, information included in a table will contribute to the overall word count.
• The majority of your report will need to be sentences organised into paragraphs, not just a list of dot points. When explaining something, such as the assessment findings, you need to make the reasons for how they came to be the way they are clear to the reader. Paragraphs will allow you to make the relationships between things evident, whereas a dot point format can sometimes appear as a list of facts without the necessary connections for explaining something.
• As you are the student nurse in the scenario, you may write your report using 'first person' tense. This would be useful in the section of your report where you propose what further cues you want to collect and when you would undertake the assessments e.g. "I would ask Jessie...". Writing in first person is not mandatory so if you are more comfortable writing objectively in the 'third person' (removing personal pronouns from your writing), then you can do so as long as it flows logically!
• You may use accepted clinical abbreviations in your report, but be sure to introduce all abbreviations the first time that you use them e.g. blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR)  

Criterion 1: Apply a beginner’s level of clinical reasoning to assess and interpret health information in relation to the patient’s context.

Criterion 2: Apply knowledge of anatomy and principles of physiology to explain assessment findings in relation to the patient’s context.

Criterion 3: Apply a beginner’s level of clinical reasoning to propose and justify further cues that are to be collected in relation to the patient’s context

Criterion 4: Communicate using academic writing conventions with references to scholarly sources of information that conform to the Harvard referencing style.

Your written report should be approximately 1000 words (+/- 10%)
