Suppose that you borrow an amount of money P and agree to repay it in a n annual payments at an interest rate of i. The formula to computer the annual payment A is: (1 ) 1 (1 )? ? ? ? n n i A P i i Using the flowcharting symbols located on Figure 2.1 in your text book (Page 27), develop a flowchart to implement this formula in a program that can accept any value of i, P and n. If you wanted a monthly payment of $2,400 per month on a $500,000 loan over 30 years, what interest rate do you need to get from the bank? Problem No. 2 (30 points) Mannings formula for a rectangular channel can be written as: 2 1 3 2 3 5( 2 ) 1 ( ) S B H BH n Q ? ? Given this equation, which parameter do you think you need to pay close attention to during field measurements? Now, given that Q = flow (m3/s), n = a roughness coefficient, B = width (m), H = depth (m), and S = slope. You know the width to be 20 m and the depth to be 0.3 m. Unfortunately, you know the roughnes coefficient and the slope to a +/-10% accuracy. Assume the roughness is 0.03 and the slope is 0.0003. Using the first order error analysis, determine the accuracy of your flow. Given this new information, which parameter should you try to measure with more precision?

PART 1: You are to write a 3-4 page position paper reflectin

PART 1: You are to write a 3-4 page position paper reflecting your views on what the health care profession’s legal and moral stance should be on one of the topics below and why. The choices are as follows: AIDS and the health care practice Abortion Decisions at the end of life You can choose how to approach your topic, narrow its scope, and advance a particular position, but you must justify each of your decisions and your positions with scholarly evidence. Use course resources, the Internet, and the library to support your position. PLEASE CITE REFERENCE PART 2: Take a position on the statement below. Post your brief (23 paragraphs) response to the Discussion Board. You must respond to 2 other students’ posts. The statement is as follows: Our current acceptance of a right to die, especially for those who are unconscious and need a proxy decision maker, is a rather slippery slope that may, in the future, be used not to protect individual autonomy or privacy but rather to serve as a facade to rid us of individuals whose lives we do not value You are free to take this discussion in any direction you would like, as it will depend on your position and supporting material.

Please provide me the abstract first Document Preview: Abstract CVS Bay Area made a contract with Sunkus in 1996, where CVS Bay Area got obtained rights to use Sunkuss name. Since CVS Bay Area uses Sunkus name, CVS Bay Area need to follow some of the Sunkuss rule and also uses their products. However, they both operate as different company with same name. Sunkus has it own organization and their own stock holders where as CVS Bay Area also has it own organization with different stock holders. Since both companies think that they are different company, they hardly communicate with each other. Moreover, CVS Bay Area does have open policy, where anyone is allowed to say anything but there is issue on the communication climate between the store managers and the headquarters. Therefore CVS Bay Area has two issues which are externally where they do not communicate with Sunkus and internally where there is different climate. For external issue, CVS Bay Area and Sunkus should held meeting and should have communication center or make hotlines where they could receive ideas or feedbacks. For internally CVS Bay Area should need hotline as well, give out survey, make voice input system and should train their employees. Company Overview History Sunkus is one of the famous convenience store at Japan but around 1980s, it was not still famous as it was now in modern society. Sunkus was first founded in July 1980 but opened the store on November 1980. By the year 1987, the Point of Sale system was introduced and at the same time, they built Sunkus West Saitama Corporation. Then in August 1988, East Saitama Sunkus Corporation was found.

Please be as clear as possible and show work. Thanks! Document Preview: #1) A firm produces two products, X and Y. The production technology displays the following costs where C(i, j) represents the cost of producing I units of X and j units of Y: C(0, 50) = 100 C(5, 0) = 150 C(0, 100) = 210 C(10, 0) = 320 C(5, 50) = 240 C(10, 100) = 500 Does this production technology display economies of scale? #4) A firm contemplating entering the breakfast cereal market would need to invest $100 million to build a minimum efficient scale production plant (or about $10 million annually on an amortized basis). Such a plant could produce about $100 million pounds of cereal per year. What would the average fixed costs of this plant be if it ran at capacity? Each year, U.S. breakfast cereal makers sell about 3 billion pounds of cereal. What would be the average fixed costs if the cereal maker captured a 2% market share? What would be its cost disadvantage if it achieved only a 1% share? If prior to entering the market, the firm contemplates achieving only a 1% share, is it doomed to such large cost disparity? #10) Suppose that Governor Schwarzenegger (GAS) pays Besanko, Dranrove, Shanley, and Schaffer (BDS) an advance of $5 million to write the script in Incomplete Contract, a movie version of their immensely popular text on business strategy. The movie contract includes certain script requirements, including that GAS gets to play a strong, silent business strategist with superhuman analytic powers. BDS spend $100,000 worth of their time to write the script that is tailor made for the ex-Terminator (GAS). When the turn in the script, GAS claims that it fails to live up to the contractual requirement that he have several passionate love scenes, and he attempts to renegotiate. Given the ambiguity over what constitutes passion, BDS are forced to agree. What was BDS rent? What is their quasi-rent? What assumptions do you have to make to compute this? Could BDS have held up GAS? Explain. Attachments: HW3.docx
