1a. According to this document, is a drug considered to be different from a biologic? Provide justification(s) for your response and include relevant references. (10)

How does the guidance provided in the guidance document referenced above compare with this expectation? Your response should make it clear that you believe that the guidance document agrees with OR contradicts 21 CFR 312 regulations on this subject depending on your position (20)
Using only information from the most recent PDUFA report (in other words, put your opinions aside for this question), make a case for OR against the following statement (20):
“The current PDUFA fee arrangement that allows FDA to use fees paid by the industry it is charged with regulating for review activities is flawed and cannot be expected to result in a scientific and fair evaluation of submissions by the pharmaceutical industry.
“ Your response should include a statement that you are arguing for OR against the statement and should include document location information (page, section….) for the evidence you cite.

John Wilson
2.John Wilson is a forty-year old computer programmer, husband, and father of four. He wants to use the capital retention approach to determine how much life insurance he should purchase. Because of his $105,000 salary and the need to care for the family’s four children, his wife does not work outside the home. The family’s current annual living expenses are approximately $75,000, including $8,000 in annual IRA contributions. John prefers to use the capital retention approach (CRA) so that he can be reasonably assured that his family will not exhaust the proceeds of a life insurance policy. However, he also wants to consider the possible reduction in expenses and apply a 70 percent replacement ratio to the calculation.
a.Calculate John’s insurance need using the capital retention approach and an after-tax discount rate of 5.5 percent (assume end-of period payment of benefits).
b.Calculate John’s insurance need using the human life value approach (HLV), an after-tax discount rate of 5.5 percent, and a remaining working life of twenty five years (assume end-of period payment of benefits).
c.After your presentation, John was bewildered about why the HLV and CRA calculations resulted in significantly different insurance needs. Using the two formulas as a guide, explain to John why this result occurred.
