Global Health -content– Suppose you have been asked to submit an article for publication in your organization’s newsletter, about a global health topic and how policies and practices at the local level can affect global health. Choose one global health topic from the list: Mental health. Communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, influenza, malaria, tuberculosis). Non-communicable diseases (cancer, lung, and heart disease). Maternal and child health (prenatal care, midwife education, childhood vaccinations). LGBT health. Disabilities. Global water supply and safety (GlobalHealth.gov, n.d.). Requirements Develop an APA-formatted research review article that covers one global health topic of your choice. In this assessment: Identify your topic. Provide background information and statistics on the topic, including the global areas most affected by the topic and the types of health care issues most often associated with the topic. Describe the factors that impact health and health care delivery in the global areas most affected by the topic you selected. These factors may include not only culture and tradition, but also politics, economics, and social attitude. Explain the influence of altruistic organizations (Peace Corps, Project Hope, religious and non-religious missions, and so on) on health and health care practices in the global area specifically associated with the topic. Describe the interventions implemented to address the health care issues associated with the topic. Include both conventional and unconventional interventions. Explain how the health care decisions and practices at the local level (the area most impacted by the topic) relate to health and health care delivery in other global areas. This is not limited only to best practices, but could include poor health care decisions and practices. Identify evidence-based interventions that are effective, efficient, cost-effective, and equitable for promoting wellness and disease prevention in the specific area and population.

Community Crises -content– Suppose you have been invited to participate in a roundtable discussion meeting on the development of a community response to crises. To prepare for this discussion, you have been asked to research ways that other communities have provided health care services during crisis situations, identify best practices, and develop a nursing response for providing health care services. You would be presenting your research and nursing response to the roundtable panel during the meeting. Select two communities that have suffered a crisis of some kind within ten years of each other. For example, you might choose to look at New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina in comparison to New Jersey and Hurricane Sandy. You might address the 2011 tornado outbreak and compare the response of Joplin, Missouri with the response of Birmingham, Alabama. Or, you might choose to look at the responses to volcano eruptions in Hawaii as compared to Washington State. You are not limited to natural disasters; feel free to explore environmental disasters and outbreaks of disease. Try to choose the type of crisis situation that could occur within your own community. Once you have selected your two communities and their comparable crisis situations, look in the library and on the Internet for scholarly journal articles on how health care professionals responded to the crises. Requirements For this assessment, create a PowerPoint presentation that examines provision of health care services related to community crises, from a nursing perspective. In your PowerPoint, address the following: Compare the different approaches of two communities for responding to a community crisis. Explain how the crisis situation in each community affected the overall health of the community. Describe potential obstacles in your own community to providing health care services related to community crises. Explain current practices in your own community for providing health care services related to community crises. Recommend an evidence-based nursing response for providing health care services related to community crises. Your nursing response does not need to be overly detailed. In real life, a nursing response would be the work of a committee or another group, based on the research and recommendations of others. Your nursing response should provide foundational research and recommendations based on evidence. Consider things such as triage points, communication methods, caring for staff, providing basic necessities such as food and water, use of other organizations for shelter, and so on.

Economic Problems -content– Problem 1 American Ball Co. (ABC) is a rubber ball manufacturer. It has monthly fixed costs of $2,000,000. Its marginal costs are $1.00 per ball. • What happens if sales fall by 20% from 2,000,000 to 1,600,000 balls per month? • What happens to average fixed costs (AFC) per widget and the marginal costs per ball? • If sales fall by 20 percent from 2 million balls per month to 1,600,000 balls per month, what happens to the AFC per ball, the MC per paper, and to the minimum amount that you must charge to break even on these costs? Hint: Here Marginal Cost (MC) is constant, which implies that Average Variable Cost (AVC) is constant and equals MC. This does not imply Average Total Cost (ATC) is constant or has to equal MC. Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost (FC) + Variable Cost (VC). Divide through by the quantity Q, which implies TC/Q = FC/Q + VC/Q. This gives us ATC = AFC + AVC. Problem 2 Consult the chart below to solve the following questions. TotalProduct AverageFixed Cost AverageVariableCost AverageTotalCost MarginalCost 0 45 1 $60.00 $45.00 $105.00 40 2 30.00 42.50 72.50 35 3 20.00 40.00 60.00 30 4 15.00 37.50 52.50 35 5 12.00 37.00 49.00 40 6 10.00 37.50 47.50 45 7 8.57 38.57 47.14 55 8 7.50 40.63 48.13 65 9 6.67 43.33 50.00 65 10 6.00 46.50 52.50 • At a product price of $56, will this firm produce in the short run? If it is preferable to produce, what will be the profit-maximizing or loss-minimizing output? What economic profit or loss will the firm realize per unit of output? • Answer the questions above for a product price of $41. • Answer the questions above for a product price of $32. Problem 3 A firm in a purely competitive industry is currently producing 2000 units per day at a total cost of $900. If the firm produced 1600 units per day, its total cost would be $600, and if it produced 1000 units per day, its total cost would be $550. • What is the firm’s ATC per unit at these three levels of production? • If every firm in this industry has the same cost structure, is the industry in the long-run competitive equilibrium? • From what you know about these firms’ cost structures, what is the highest possible price per unit that could exist as the market price in longâ€run equilibrium? If this price was the market price and if the normal rate of profit is 10%, what will each firm’s accounting profit be (per unit)?

Business -content– A key skill in economics is the ability to use the theory of supply and demand to analyze specific markets. In this assessment, you will demonstrate your ability to analyze the effects of several “shocks” on the market for first class mail (e.g., letters). Pay Raise: Suppose postal workers are successful in obtaining a pay raise from the U.S. Postal Service. Will this affect the supply or the demand for first class mail? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of first class mail? Explain your reasoning. (Be sure to identify which of the following apply: the cost of production, a change in technology, tastes and preferences, income, the price of substitutes or the price of complements affects equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity) Email and Text: Now consider the invention of email and text messaging. Explain how you imagine the invention of email and text messaging affected the market for first class mail? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of first class mail? Explain your reasoning. (Be sure to identify which of the following apply: the cost of production, a change in technology, tastes and preferences, income, the price of substitutes or the price of complements affects equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity) Combine Cases 1 and 2: Suppose that postal workers get a pay raise and email and text messaging become common. What will the combined impact be on the equilibrium price and quantity of first class mail? Is equilibrium price or equilibrium quantity indeterminate? Explain your reasoning.

Corporate finance -content– 1. Assume that you have analyzed a project in Indian Rupees (expected inflation rate is 5%) and arrived at a net present value of Rs 1 billion.If you do your analysis entirely in US dollars (expected inflation rate is 2%) which of the following would you expect to happen to the numbers in your analysis? a. Your growth rate will be lower and your cost of capital will be higher b. Your growth rate will be higher and your cost of capital will be lower c. Your growth rate will be higher and your cost of capital will be higher d. Your growth rate will be lower and your cost of capital will be lower e. Your growth rate and cost of capital will be unchanged. 2. The NPV of an investment is the PV of the cash flows over the life of the investment.Lengthening the life of a project,holding the discount rate constant,will therefore always increase the NPV. a. True b. False 3. You have computed the NPV of a project to be $25 million,using expected cash flows and a risk-adjusted discount rate.You are,however,concerned that you may have made errors on estimating the cash flows and the discountn rate. Which of the following make you feel more comfortable with taking the project, given this fear? a. The project has a long payback period b. In your best case scenario,thenproject has a NPV of $80 million c. The standard deviation in the NPV,when you do a Monte Carlo simulation yields a high value d. In your worst case scenario, the project has a NPV of $2 million e. The project NPV is very sensitive to changes in your discount rate 4. Most analysts follow up a project analysis by asking what-if questions, where they assess the impact of changing assumptions and examining the effect on the bottom line (NPV,IRR etc).If you decide to do this, how should you approach the sensitivity analysis and how would you use it? a. Ask what-if questions about every input into the analysis and reject the project,if any of the scenarios yields a bad outcome (negative NPV). b. Ask what-if questions about key inputs into the analysis and reject the project, if any of the scenarios yields a bad outcome (negative NPV). c. Ask what-if questions about every input into the analysis and use it to generate a range of values for the decision variable (NPV) d. Ask what-if questions about key inputs into the analysis and use it to generate a range of values for the decision variable(NPV) e. Ask what-if questions about key inputs into the analysis and use it to determine how to manage a project better or increase its value. 5. In a Monte Carlo simulation,rather than enter expected values for each input,you enter distributions,with parameters, for each input. Which of the following is a benefit of Monte Carlo simulations? a. It forces you to think about your inputs(and what may cause them to change) more seriously. b. It allows you to allow for co-movements in your inputs(such as assuming that your revenue growth will be high when margins are high). c. It yields a distribution for your output variable(like NPV) rather than a single number. d. It enables you to see the range of outcomes on a project (best case, worst case etc.). e. All of the above. Session 16: 1. d.Your growth rate will be lower and your cost of capital will be lower. Both numbers will be lower by roughly 3% (the differential inflation rate). 2. False. As you lengthen a project’s life, you have to increase capital maintenance in the earlier years. This will result in lower cash flows, which can more than offset any benefit from a longer life(and a higher terminal value), at least for some projects. 3. d. In your worst-case scenario,the project has a NPV of $2 million.The fact that your NPV is positive even in your worst-case scenario should comfort you,because even in its worst form, this project still creates value (just not as much as you thought it would). All of the other choices will make you even more uncomfortable about uncertainty. 4. e. Ask what-if questions about key inputs into the analysis and use it to determine how to manage a project better or increase its value.It is better to focus on a few key inputs and rather than reject a project just because a few scenarios yield bad results, you should use the analysis to help you determine that variables that you will track on this project, assuming that it passes muster. 5. e.All of the above PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US TODAY AND GET A GOOD DISCOUNT Read More »
