A load of bricks of mass M = 185 kg is attached to a crane by a cable of negligible mass and length L = 3.19 m. Initially, when the cable hangs vertically downward, the bricks are a horizontal distance D = 1.39 m from the wall where the bricks are to be placed. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force that must be applied to the load of bricks (without moving the crane) so that the bricks will rest directly above the wall?

Cumberland County Senior Services is a non-profit organization
devoted to providing essential services to seniors who live in
their own homes within the Cumberland County area. Three services
are provided for seniors—home nursing, Meals on Wheels, and
housekeeping. In the home nursing program, nurses visit seniors on
a regular basis to check on their general health and to perform
tests ordered by their physicians. The Meals on Wheels program
delivers a hot meal once a day to each senior enrolled in the
program. The housekeeping service provides weekly housecleaning and
maintenance services. Data on revenue and expenses for the past
year follow:

The head administrator of
Cumberland County Senior Services, Judith Ewa, is concerned about
the organization’s finances and considers the operating income of
$6,400 last year to be razor-thin. (Last year’s results were very
similar to the results for previous years and are representative of
what would be expected in the future.) She feels that the
organization should be building its financial reserves at a more
rapid rate in order to prepare for the next inevitable recession.
After seeing the above report, Ewa asked for more information about
the financial advisability of discontinuing the
housekeeping program.
The depreciation in the housekeeping category is for a small van that is used to carry the housekeepers and their equipment from job to job. If the program were discontinued, the van would be donated to a charitable organization. Depreciation charges assume zero salvage value. None of the general administrative overhead would be avoided if the housekeeping program were dropped, but the liability insurance and the salary of the program administrator would be avoided.
Required:
1-a. Compute the change in net operating income for the company as a whole if housekeeping program be discontinued.
1-b. Should the housekeeping program be discontinued?
Yes
No
2. Would a segmented income statement format be more useful to management in assessing the long-run financial viability of the various services?
Yes
No

A 10-year-old girl was brought to an outpatient clinic because she complained of sore throat and a lump in her neck. On examination, she was observed to have a tonsillar abscess, swollen glands, and widespread bruising in the extremities. She also had a low-grade fever. She was treated with antibiotics and released, but she failed to progress over the next 2 days. Hematology laboratory tests revealed a WBC of 8.0 x 10^9/L, a hematocrit of 28%, and a platelet count of 10 x 10^12/L peripheral blood differential count revealed 3 band neutrophils, 25 segmented neutrophils, 8 lymphocytes, 1 monocyte, and 63 blasts.
The patient’s parents were contacted, and the girl was immediately admitted to the hospital. A bone marrow examination was performed and revealed an infiltration of blast cells in the marrow.
Immunophenotyping was performed on the bone marrow cells. The results show the cells have CD 11b, CD 13, CD 33, and CD15 markers.
1. Why are the hematocrit and platelet count decreased?
2. What is immunophenotyping and why is it an important test?
3. What is the most likely diagnosis based on these test results?
4. How would the results differ in the immunophenotying of the cells had CD 10, CD 19, CD 20 and CD 22 markers?

C = a + b Yd
Yd = (1 – t)Y
X = g – mY
a. Derive the equilibrium GDP (Y) and the expenditure multiplier (Me ) expressed in general notations.
b. Suppose I = $900 billion, G = $1,200 billion, a = 220, b = 0.9, t = 0.3, g = 500, and m = 0.1. Solve for the equilibrium GDP (Y) and the expenditure multiplier (Me ) using your answers to part a.
c. Is the expenditure multiplier (Me ) with variable import spending (refer the numerical solution of Me from part b) larger or smaller than the expenditure multiplier (Me ) with fixed import spending? In addition to an algebra comparison, provide an intuition with your answer. Hint: The expenditure multiplier (Me ) with fixed import spending (i.e. constant X)) is 1 1−?(1−?) , in the problem, b = 0.9, t = 0.3.

Y = C + I + G
C = a + b Yd
Yd = Y – T
a. Derive the equilibrium GDP (Y), the expenditure multiplier (Me ), and the fixed tax multiplier (MT ) expressed in general notation.

Edit question
A physician wants to know if the number of male esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumors differs from the proportion of female esophageal cancer patients with the same diagnosis. She selects random samples of 60 male and 40 female esophageal cancer patients and records the number in each sample diagnosed with multiple primary tumors. 40 men and 10 women with multiple primary tumors are identified.
What is the null hypothesis for this study?
If the tabulated critical value of the chi-square statistic for the 5% level of significance is 3.84, what is the most appropriate conclusion that can be drawn from this study?
The proportion of male esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumors differs from the proportion of female esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with such tumors (p<0.05).
The proportion of male esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumors does not differ from the proportion of female esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with such tumors (p>0.05).
It is 95% certain that the proportion of male esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumors equals the proportion of female esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with such tumors.
The investigator can be 95% certain that more men than women have esophageal cancer.
Which of the following statements is an accurate interpretation of the p-value associated with the study conclusion?
The observed difference in sample frequencies is likely to be due to random chance.
The probability of obtaining the given sample results by random chance is less than 5%.
The sample sizes are too small to detect a significant difference in frequency.
The investigator can be certain that the proportion of men diagnosed with multiple primary tumors differs from the proportion of women with the same diagnosis.
The proportion of male esophageal cancer patients with multiple primary tumors is greater than that of female esophageal cancer patients with such tumors.
An association exists between gender and the presence of multiple primary tumors.
The proportion of men with esophageal cancer differs from that of women esophageal cancer.
The proportion of male esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumors does not differ from that of female esophageal cancer patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumors.
The calculated value of the test statistic is:
0.65

There is a market operating for two periods. In the first period, there is only an incumbent firm, and an entrant may enter in the second period. The demand function each period is p = 20 − Q, where Q is the total quantity in the market. The per period cost function of each firm is c(q) = 9 + 4q. There is no discounting. Firms choose quantities.
(a) Find the monopoly outcome with these demand and cost
functions.
(b) Because of some technological constraint, the incumbent cannot
choose different quantitie in the two periods: qI = qI = qI . The
entrant observes the incumbent’s quantity qI and decides if to
enter and, if yes, how much to produce. Find the optimal choice of
the entrant for any q.
(c) Suppose that the entrant will enter. Find the optimal quantity
of the incumbent.
(d) Suppose now that the entrant will enter only if it makes
positive profits. Find the subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium.
