You are working as an assistant to your cousin, who is an architect. She is currently designing the lobby for a new luxury hotel. The lobby will include a walkway suspended above the main level. Her design will include the following features. Above the walkway, attached at various points along its length, will be vertical steel cables of diameter 1.27 cm and unstressed length 5.35 m. These cables will run upward from the walkway and be attached to a rigid beam in the internal structure of the lobby. Below each point of attachment of a vertical cable will be an aluminum column on which the walkway rests. Each column is a hollow cylinder of inner diameter 16.34 cm and outer diameter 16.44 cm. Before the walkway is installed, the columns will extend 3.25 m from the floor of the lobby to the height at which the bottom of the walkway will lie. Suppose the walkway and any individuals walking on it exert a downward force of magnitude F = 8,800 N on a particular attachment point to a cable above and the corresponding column below. Before committing to this design, your cousin asks you to determine how far the point of attachment of the walkway will move downward under these load conditions.

An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waiting time (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders more efficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have been proposed. To account for potential differences due to the type of ride and the possible interaction between the method of loading and unloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment was designed. Use the following data to test for any significant effect due to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, and interaction. Use . Factor A is method of loading and unloading; Factor B is the type of ride.

Set up the ANOVA table (to whole number, but -value to 2 decimals and  value to 1 decimal, if necessary).

2. The new mayor of a Midwestern city has developed a list of administration goals and objectives for the city: (a) establish effective government by incorporating improved information systems and management practices; (b) improve intergovernmental cooperation for more cost-effective service delivery; (c) build public support for administration priorities through two-way communication; (d) make timely investments in roads, utilities, sewers, parks, and alternative transportation systems to encourage responsible growth and sustain a healthy economy; (e) maintain and improve the city as a place where people can live and work without fear; (f) protect the community’s natural assets and enhance environmental quality; (g) work to improve the economic health of the city in an equitable manner for all citizens; (h) support and facilitate access to basic social services for all citizens; (i) establish a customer-driven city workplace; and (j) maintain and improve park services and facilities. Use this statement to structure both a program budget format and a new performance budget format for the city. For the latter, identify measurable performance indicators.

Overbooking is the practice of selling more items than are currently available. Overbooking is common in the travel industry; it allows a vehicle (airline, train, bus, cruise ship, hotel, and so forth) to operate at or near capacity, despite cancellations, no-shows, or late arrivals.

Overselling is when more confirmed customers show up to use the vehicle than there is space available. When this happens, at least one customer will be denied the service that they paid for, either voluntarily (sometimes with an incentive provided by the supplier) or involuntarily. This is called getting "bumped."

Suppose that for a particular flight, an airline believes that 1% of ticket holders do not make the flight. The jet making the trip holds 188 passengers. If the airline sells 191 tickets, what is the probability that the flight will be oversold and they will have to bump a passenger? Assume that cancellations are independent.

Calculate the probabilities that one, two, and three people will be bumped, and then use those values to determine the probability that at least one passenger will be bumped. Give each answer to four decimal places. Avoid rounding within calculations.

?(one person is bumped)=

?(two people are bumped)=

?(three people are bumped)=

?(at least one person is bumped)=

1. A company buys a machine for $72,000 that has an expected life of 4 years and no salvage value. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,450 after taxes of 30%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return?

a. 6.71% b. 9.58% c. 4.79% d. 2.87% e. 19.17%

2. Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $35,000 and provides expected cash inflows of $12,000 annually for four years. What is the investment's payback period?

3. Project A requires a $425,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five-year life and a salvage value of $38,500. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $27,000 per year for the next five years.

Compute Project A’s accounting rate of return.

We are studying Mental Illnesses this week and I am stuck!!

The emergency medical services (EMS) team has brought a 54­-year-old female patient to the emergency department where you are working. The EMS personnel state that the patient was found wandering in a nearby park by a jogger, who called 911 from her cell phone after the woman screamed obscenities at her and then fell, seriously scraping her arm and face. The woman is bleeding, disoriented, combative, and accusing the EMS team of stealing her purse. Her hands are shaking severely, and she is shouting at the doctors and nurses that she needs a bottle. The woman’s clothing is dirty, and you can smell stale body odor and urine.

Critical thinking Questions

1. Based on your first impressions of this patient’s actions and appearance, what do you suspect she is suffering from?

2. What short­ and long-term health risks would you suspect this patient faces?

3. Why do you think the patient’s hands are shaking, and what do you think causes her confusion and combativeness?

4. What assessments do you think are needed for this patient?

A company producing plastic cell-phone cases uses a $5,000 blower, a $2,000 processor, and $4,200 worth of molds. The rent paid for their space in an industrial park is $5,000 per production period. The cost of materials (resins and compounds) is $10 per unit. The cell phone case market is competitive, with a market price of $25. Each unit of labor is paid $5,000 per production period. The production technology is described by Table 2.
