Samuel has a private practice and he receives most of his income from clients covered by managed care companies. He is completing the paperwork to get both reimbursement and approval of the number of sessions for two new clients. Samuel is aware that the diagnosis he gives will affect the responses of the managed care reviewer. The first client, Charlie, has experienced a recent interpersonal loss and has some behaviors that meet the criteria for major depression. The second client, Amanda, has also experienced a recent interpersonal loss and has some behaviors that meet the criteria for a personality disorder. For Charlie, Samuel knows that if he gives a diagnosis of bereavement he will likely be told that the client does not need treatment and he will not be reimbursed, but if the client has Major Depressive Disorder, then the client may be given six or eight sessions. Similarly, if Samuel gives Amanda a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder, she will likely be approved for several sessions. However, if he assigns a diagnosis of a personality disorder, then she will not be approved for counseling. Samuel truly believes that both individuals could benefit from counseling with him.

Regarding the case study above, what diagnosis should Samuel give Charlie and Amanda? Why? Do you think it is unethical or illegal for Samuel to give Charlie or Amanda one diagnosis or another? Is it unethical that an insurance company, who has not yet met the client can determine whether they will have services paid for, or how many sessions they can have? Why/why not?

Bean beetles (Callosobruchus maculatus) are agricultural pest insects of Africa and Asia. Females lay their eggs on the surface of beans (Family Fabaceae). Eggs are deposited singly and several days after deposition, a beetle larva (maggot) burrows into the bean. At 30°C, pupation and emergence of an adult beetle occurs 21–30 days after an egg was deposited. Adults are mature 24–36 hours after emergence and they do not need to feed. Adults may live for 1–2 weeks, during which time mating and oviposition (laying of eggs) occurs. Since larvae cannot move from the bean on which an egg was deposited, the oviposition choice of a female determines the future food resources available to their offspring. As a result, it is the most critical choice a female makes for her offspring, because it will influence their growth, survival, and future reproduction. Although females can be induced to lay eggs on a wide range of bean species, very few bean species result in normal development and the successful emergence of adults.

Safaricom service provider has assigned you a task in their software section to design an application that can be used by wholesalers to buy their products. Your duty is to implement the data structure which can be used to store the inventory of the warehouse containing the products. The data structure should be able to add a product with an associated code indicating its likelihood to spoil, remove a product that is most likely to spoil, and return the overall number of products in the inventory.

i.          Describe the data structure you would use and give reasons.

ii.         With reference to algorithms, explain the terms time efficiency and space efficiency.

Problem 14-23 Preparing a master budget for retail company with no beginning account balances LO 14-2, 14-3, 14-4, 14-5, 14-6

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Finch Company is a retail company that specializes in selling outdoor camping equipment. The company is considering opening a new store on October 1, 2019. The company president formed a planning committee to prepare a master budget for the first three months of operation. As budget coordinator, you have been assigned the following tasks:

Problem 14-23 Part 1

Required

1. October sales are estimated to be $340,000, of which 35 percent will be cash and 65 percent will be credit. The company expects sales to increase at the rate of 20 percent per month. Prepare a sales budget.

2. The company expects to collect 100 percent of the accounts receivable generated by credit sales in the month following the sale. Prepare a schedule of cash receipts.

3. The cost of goods sold is 70 percent of sales. The company desires to maintain a minimum ending inventory equal to 20 percent of the next month’s cost of goods sold. However, ending inventory of December is expected to be $12,500. Assume that all purchases are made on account. Prepare an inventory purchases budget.

4. The company pays 60 percent of accounts payable in the month of purchase and the remaining 40 percent in the following month. Prepare a cash payments budget for inventory purchases.

5. Budgeted selling and administrative expenses per month follow:

1. *The capital expenditures budget indicates that Finch will spend $133,000 on October 1 for store fixtures, which are expected to have a $25,000 salvage value and a two-year (24-month) useful life.

Use this information to prepare a selling and administrative expenses budget.

6. Utilities and sales commissions are paid the month after they are incurred; all other expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred. Prepare a cash payments budget for selling and administrative expenses.

7. Finch borrows funds, in increments of $1,000, and repays them on the last day of the month. Repayments may be made in any amount available. The company also pays its vendors on the last day of the month. It pays interest of 2 percent per month in cash on the last day of the month.

Problem 25.57

On your first day at work as an electrical technician, you are asked to determine the resistance per meter of a long piece of wire. The company you work for is poorly equipped. You find a battery, a voltmeter, and an ammeter, but no meter for directly measuring resistance (an ohmmeter). You put the leads from the voltmeter across the terminals of the battery, and the meter reads 12.0 V . You cut off a 20.0-m length of wire and connect it to the battery, with an ammeter in series with it to measure the current in the wire. The ammeter reads 7.00 A . You then cut off a 40.0-m length of wire and connect it to the battery, again with the ammeter in series to measure the current. The ammeter reads 4.50 A . Even though the equipment you have available to you is limited, your boss assures you of its high quality: The ammeter has very small resistance, and the voltmeter has very large resistance.

What is the resistance of 1 meter of wire?in ohm
