Err Company has a major lawsuit against them for unsafe products. It recognizes a huge liability in 2008 of $300M. The effect of this liability is to decrease stockholders’ equity by 50%. In 2009, the effect of recognizing this lawsuit in 2008, all else being equal in 2009, is: A)Return on net operating assets will increase dramatically B)Return on net operating assets will decrease dramatically C)Return on equity will increase dramatically D)Return on equity will decrease dramatically The effects of leveraging are magnified in A)good years.B)bad years. C)both good and bad years. D)years that the company is unsuccessfully trading on the equity. TMTOMH Company reported in its annual report software refinement expenses of $12M, $15M and $18M for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. At the end of fiscal 2009 it had total assets of $140M. Net income was $20M for fiscal 2009, and it had a marginal tax rate of 35%. 7. If software refinement had been capitalized each year and amortized over a three-yearperiod beginning in the year the cost was incurred, total assets at the end of fiscal 2009 would have been: A)$185M B)$172M C)$158M D)$157M 8. If software refinement had been capitalized each year and amortized over a three year period beginning in the year the cost was incurred, net income for fiscal 2009 would have been: A)$31.7M B)$29.75M C)$21.95M D)$14.95M

Discuss the evolution of failed projects and the ability to overcome high rates of failure by reducing complex projects into a series of mini-projects or what they identify as rapid results initiative.  Clearly, this strategy with regard to spreading innovation through an organization has the potential to increase motivation and excitement in an organization as the smaller divisions or business units experience success. Success may further be integrated throughout the organization by following management practices that satisfy customer needs and focus on the largest and most profitable tiers of their markets.

7-1 A sinking fund can be set up in one of two ways?a. The Corporation makes annual payments to the trustee, who invests the proceeds in securities (frequently government bonds) and uses the accumulated total to retire the bond issue at maturity.b. The trustee uses the annual payments to retire a portion of the issue each year, calling a given percentage of the issue by a lottery and paying a specified price per bond or buying bonds on the open market, whichever is cheaper.What are the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure from the viewpoint of (a) the firm and (b) bondholders?7-4 If interest rates rise after a bond issue, what will happen to the bond’s price and YTM? Does the time to maturity affect the extent to which interest rate changes affect the bond’s price? (Again, an example might help you answer this question)7-5 If you buy a callable bond and interest rates decline, will the value of your bond rise by as much as it would have risen if the bond had not been callable? Explain. 7-6 Assume that you have a short investment horizon (less than 1 year). You are considering two investments: a 1-year Treasury security and a 20-year Treasury security. Which of the two investments would you view as being riskier? Explain.

This project will look to glean and apply all of the principles of epidemiology concepts presented throughout this course into an exciting and interactive final assignment that promises to stimulate creativity while reinforcing epidemiological concepts.

For this assignment, Part One of your course project, assume the role of Dr. Madness. Your rogue nation seeks global domination. With a bare bones laboratory and your exhaustive microbiological and epidemiological knowledge, you (Dr. Madness) decide that the best way to rule the world is to create and disseminate the perfect biological weapon.

For this part of the assignment, you will develop your weapon from the ground up. Discuss nearly all of the epidemiological criteria related to it, and justify and discuss why it is used and how effective it is. This agent could be a hybrid of other biological pathogens or an entirely new one. If the agent is newly created, there must be some basis and epidemiological support of a similar agent by which you can base your justification. In other words, it will be unrealistic to create an airborne virus that inoculates and kills within one hour. There must be a realistic exposure and incubation time and must be supported through current agent biology or biochemistry (for example, influenza exposure and incubation takes 1–4 days).

  • Name of Agent: Explain why you chose the name. If it is a biological agent, be sure to provide a taxonomic name
  • Etiology: This will talk about the genesis of your agent. Where was it discovered? How was it made? How long has it been around? Why was this agent created? What were the social and economic factors of your rogue nation that made Dr. Madness focus on this element of the agent? What are the environmental precursors to this agent? Discuss the interaction among agent, host, and environment.
  • Identification: This will describe the basics of the agent. Is it a bacteria, virus, toxin, parasite, hybrid, or something else? Discuss how your agent presents within the human population. What are the symptoms in humans? What are the (zoonotic) symptoms in animals? How does the disease progress? Are there stages? Discuss the various stages including length of infection, severity, and the like. What are the diagnostic indicators? How would a doctor be able to identify this agent in a clinic or emergency room?
  • Laboratory Analysis: How will the agent be identified? Can it be grown in media? What type of laboratory methods can be used to identify the agent (microscopy, chromatography, PCR, and so on)?
  • Occurrence: This is the epi: who, what, when, where, how, and why of the disease. Where does it happen? When can it be found? Who is most and least susceptible to the agent (risk factors). More exotic and hard to find agents are harder to prevent and control but are also more difficult to initiate an epidemic or pandemic, whereas more generalized and known agents may be easier to cure, but have a much wider swath of causing pandemics. How do socioeconomic factors foster or inhibit the spread of disease?
  • Reservoir: What is the natural reservoir of the agent? Are there other organisms where this agent can reside without causing disease? Increasing the reservoir can enhance transmission but can also allow for easier identification and treatment in response to it.
  • Mode of Transmission: Consider inhalation, absorption, digestion, contact, and so forth. If you use multiple modes, justify your selections.
  • Incubation Period: Provide the range with an average (median) day of disease onset. Does the period change in different socioeconomic status identifiers (sex, age, race, creed, and so on)? Why or why not?
  • Period of communicability: How long is a person with this agent contagious? Increasing this period also increases the opportunity for study and thus treatment and control.
  • Susceptibility: Is the agent susceptible to reinfection of the same person? Allowing for this increases morbidity but usually mortality wanes in subsequent infections.
