1)A cylindrical water-tank has a small hole 60cm above the floor on which the tank stands. The depth of water in the tank is 1.8m.Assume the diameter of the tank to be greater than that of the hole. 1a) Find the horizontal distance from the side of the tank to the point on the floor where the stream of water lands. 1b) At what other height from the base of the tank would a second hole be drilled for water from this hole to strike the base at the same point as the first hole?
2) Water flows along the horizontal pipe cross section area 48cm2 which has a constriction of cross section area 12cm2 at one place. If the speed of water at the constriction is 4m/s, calculate the speed in the wider section and hence the pressure at the constriction if the pressure in the wider section is 1.0 x 105 pa. Density of water is 1000kg/m3
3)What volume of water will escape per minute from a tank through an opening 2cm in diameter and 5m below the level of water?
4)A venturi meter is equipped with a deferential mercury meter. The inlet diameter is 30cm and the throat diameter is 15cm. Find the ideal flow of water through the meter if the difference in height between the mercury columns is 23cm. Relative density of mercury is 13.6
5) Mercury at 20 degrees Celsius is flowing in a pipe of 50mm diameter at a certain point A with velocity 1.83m/s2 the pipe travels to point B, 3.78m above A, where the diameter has been reduced to 35mm. The pipe continues to a point C, 1.27m above B at which the diameter has changed to 75mm. The gauge pressure at A is 596 kpa. The relative density of mercury is 13.6 the atmospheric pressure is 101.325kpa and the gravitational acceleration is 9.81m/s2 . What would be the readings of the pressure gauges at points B and C?
6) A tank of large area is filled with water to a depth of 0.3m . A hole of 5cm2 cross section in the bottom allows water to drain out in a continuous stream. 6a)What is the rate at which water flows out the tank in m3/s? 6b) At what distance below the bottom of the tank is the cross-sectional area of the stream equal to one half of the area of the hole?
7)Water enclosed in a tank is subjected to a gauge pressure of 6x105 pa, applied by compressed air introduced into the top of the tank. A small hole of 5cm2 cross sectional area is in the side of the tank 5m below the level of the water. Estimate the rate at which water escapes from this hole in m3/hr.

1. The patient walked 75 feet in the hallway of the hospital with the therapist lightly touching her back. She used a front-wheeled walker. The therapist was needed to help provide the patient with support to maintain balance.
2. The patient’s strength was 3/5 for the right biceps and 4/5 for the right triceps.
3. Upon arrival to therapy, the patient told you that she had been doing her HEP without any problems and really
felt like her ability to get in and out of bed has improved.
4. The patient said that her pain was 3/10 on a pain scale.
5. You performed an ultrasound to the dorsal aspect of the patient’s right foot. You used 3 MHz at 50% duty cyclewith the intensity set at 1.0 w/cm2.
6. The patient demonstrated the following range of motion measurements: active range of motion for the right elbow was 130° flexion and 10° of hyperextension.
7. Knee active range of motion was 100° flexion and lacking 10° of extension.
8. The patient propelled his wheelchair around the hospital, outside on the sidewalk, and up and down several ramps with you providing verbal reminders on trunk positioning for going up and down the ramps.
9. The patient was able to put her ankle-foot orthosis on and remove it independently. She was also able to independently check her skin for any irritated areas after she removed the orthosis.
10. You instructed the patient to perform 10 repetitions of each exercise as part of her home exercise program. The exercises included ankle pumps, quadriceps setting, short arc quadriceps strengthening from 45° to 0°, and heel slides.
11. During a busy morning in a hospital, you were working with a patient who told you that she was going to be discharged and wanted home health services, primarily physical therapy. After writing the note and moving on to the next patient, you realize that you did not document the patient’s desire for home therapy. What should you do? How would you document this entry into the medical record. Where should this information be placed? How might this be different if you were using an EMR?
12. When handwriting information in the medical record, you realize that you made an error in documenting the patient’s AROM. It should have been 125°, not 152°. Demonstrate how to correct this mistake.

Marine, Inc., manufactures a product that is available in both a flexible and a rigid model. The company has made the rigid model for years; the flexible model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the flexible model, the company’s profits have steadily declined, and management has become concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the flexible model have been increasing rapidly.
Overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, management estimated that $600,000 in overhead costs would be incurred and the company would produce and sell 1,000 units of the flexible model and 10,000 units of the regular model. The flexible model requires 2.0 hours of direct labor time per unit, and the regular model requires 1.0 hours. Direct materials and labor costs per unit are given below:
| Flexible | Rigid | |||
| Direct materials cost per unit | $ | 110.00 | $ | 80.00 |
| Direct labor cost per unit | $ | 30.00 | $ | 15.00 |
Required:
1-a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate using direct labor-hours as the basis for allocating overhead costs to products.
1-b. Compute the unit product cost for one unit of each model.
2. An intern suggested that the company use activity-based costing to cost its products. A team was formed to investigate this idea. It came back with the recommendation that four activity cost pools be used. These cost pools and their associated activities are listed as follows:
| Expected Activity | ||||||||||
| Activity Cost Pool and Activity Measure | Estimated Overhead Cost | Flexible | Rigid | Total | ||||||
| Purchase orders (number of orders) | $ | 20,000 | 100 | 300 | 400 | |||||
| Rework requests (number of requests) | 10,000 | 60 | 140 | 200 | ||||||
| Product testing (number of tests) | 210,000 | 900 | 1,200 | 2,100 | ||||||
| Machine related (machine-hours) | 360,000 | 1,500 | 2,500 | 4,000 | ||||||
| $ | 600,000 | |||||||||
Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools.
3-a. Using activity-based costing, determine the total amount of overhead that would be assigned to each model for the year.
3-b. Using activity-based costing, compute the unit product cost for one unit of each model.

QUESTION TWO
Case Study Luangwa Mineral Resources is a State Owned Enterprise (SOE) that was in past managed parastatal before being privatize after liberalization of the Zambia economy. The privatization of the firm was decided because the firm had been run down and was not performing well as expected. Further the firm accrued huge liabilities and was running losses consistently. After being privatized the new owners (majority shareholders 75%) re capitalized the firm by investing $160 million to improve operation and clear outstanding debts. The new Board of Directors brought in goods expertise and knowhow which greatly improved the way the company was managed. The company was turned around within Three years and become profitable and as a result government was able to receive its share of profits. The company remained profitable until a regime changed policy that now required government to own majority share in a bid to accrue more benefits for the state. The changes in policy meant the minority foreign investors could not control decision making within the company as now government took more control of the affairs. The Government appointed a new board and new management took over. The company in a span of four years since these changes has reached a stage where it is now failing to meet its obligations. It has accrued huge debts and has started making losses due to poor decision making regards operations. Audits reports indicated that miss application of resources to non-value adding activities, poor cash flow management, over employment and abuse of company resources and board members (Chairperson) and management staff. It was reported that in previous quarter the board had spent $1.0 million on workshops, travel allowances and meetings alone much of the money obtained through an overdraft with a local bank. This was done at the expense of procuring a critical component of the production process that only costed $150,000. Consequently production was shut down for six months. This has led to wide spread uproar in the media and among concerned stakeholders and the company’s board and corporate governance system has been questioned. Among the many expectations from stakeholders is the effectiveness of the board through composition of members, integrity and ethical values of board members and ability to critically analyses the company’s long term sustainability.
Required:
i. Discuss the objective and importance of Corporate Governance in general to the operations of an organization.
ii. Identify and discuss the Agency Problem issues in this case study that may have led to the current situation how this can be rectified.
iii. Discuss how Corporate Finance can be applied in guaranteeing the company’s long term financial sustainability while balancing wealth maximisation.
