Irradiation on a semitransparent medium is at a rate of $520 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}.$ If $160 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ of the irradiation is reflected from the medium and $130 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ is transmitted through the medium, determine the medium’s absorptivity, reflectivity, transmissivity, and emissivity.

Bob Hansen opens a retail store on January 1, 2013. Hansen invests $50,000 for all of the common stock of the firm. The store borrows$40,000 from a local bank. The store must repay the loan with interest for both 2013 and 2014 on December 31, 2014. The interest rate is 10% per year. The store purchases a building for $60,000 cash. The building has a 30-year life, zero estimated salvage value, and is to be depreciated using the straight-line method. The store purchases$125,000 of merchandise on account during 2013 and pays $97,400 of the amount by the end of 2013. A physical inventory taken on December 31, 2013, indicates$15,400 of merchandise is still on hand. During 2013, the store makes cash sales to customers totaling $52,900 and sales on account totaling$116,100. Of the sales on account, the store collects $54,800 by December 31, 2013. The store incurs and pays other costs as follows: salaries,$34,200; utilities, $2,600. It has unpaid bills at the end of 2013 as follows: salaries,$2,400; utilities, $180. The firm is subject to an income tax rate of 40%. Income taxes for 2013 are payable on March 15, 2014. Assume that Hansen applies U.S. GAAP, and reports in U.S. dollars.

b. Prepare a balance sheet for Hansen Retail Store as of December 31, 2013. Show supporting computations for each balance sheet item.

Beth Rader purchased North Shore Health Club in June 2019. Beth wanted to increase the size of the business by selling 5-year memberships for $2,000, payable at the beginning of the membership period. The normal yearly membership fee is$500. Since few prospective members were expected to have $2,000, Beth arranged for a local bank to provide a$2,000 installment loan to prospective members. By the end of 2019, 250 customers had purchased the 5-year memberships using the loan provided by the bank.

Beth prepared her income statement for 2019 and included $500,000 as revenue because the club had collected the entire amount in cash. Beth’s accountant objected to the inclusion of the entire$500,000. The accountant argued that the $500,000 should be recognized as revenue as the club provides services for these members during the membership period. Beth countered with a quotation from a part of ‘‘Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,’’ Accounting Research Bulletin 43, Chapter 1, Section A, No. 1:

‘‘Profit is deemed to be realized when a sale in the ordinary course of business is effected, unless the circumstances are such that collection of the sale price is not reasonably assured.’’

Beth notes that the memberships have been sold and that collection of the selling price has occurred. Therefore, she argues that all$500,000 is revenue in 2019.

Required:

Write a short statement supporting either Beth or the accountant in this dispute.

Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, $48 \%$ said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school.

(a) A newspaper article states that only a minority of the Americans who decide not to go to college do so because they cannot afford it and uses the point estimate from this survey as evidence. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence supporting this statement.

(b) Would you expect a confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who decide not to go to college because they cannot afford it to include 0.5? Explain.

One month before the election, a poll of 630 randomly selected voters showed 54% planning to vote for a certain candidate. A week later, it became known that he had had an extramarital affair, and a new poll showed only 51% of 1010 voters supporting him. Do these results indicate a decrease in voter support for his candidacy?

If you concluded there was a difference, estimate that difference with a confidence interval and interpret your interval in context.

Consider medium freshness. a. Why is the freshness of the medium important?

J.G., a $49$-year-old man, was seen in the emergency department (ED) $2$ days ago, diagnosed with alcohol intoxication, and released after $8$ hours to his brother's care. He was brought back to the ED $12$ hours ago with an active gastrointestinal (GI) bleed and is being admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU); his diagnosis is upper GI bleed and alcohol intoxication.

You are assigned to admit and care for J.G. for the remainder of your shift. According to the ED notes, his admission vital signs were BP $84/56$ mm Hg, P $110$ bpm, R $26$, and he was vomiting bright red blood. He was given IV fluids and transfused $6$ units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) in the ED. On initial assessment, you note that J.G.'s VS are blood pressure BP $154/90$ mm Hg, P $110$ bpm; he has a slight tremor in his hands, and he appears anxious. He complains of a headache and appears flushed. You note that he has not had any emesis and has not had any frank red blood in his stool or melena (black tarry stools) over the past $5$ hours. In response to your questions, J.G. denies that he has an alcohol problem but later admits to drinking approximately a fifth of vodka daily for the past $2$ months. He reports that he was drinking vodka just before his admission to the ED. He admits to having had seizures while withdrawing from alcohol in the past.

You note that J.G.'s physician has not diagnosed J.G. as having alcohol dependence, and his orders do not include treatment for alcohol withdrawal.

As an RN, what action is necessary before you continue to care for J.G.?

The davit shown is used in pairs for supporting lifeboats on ships. The load of $3500\ \mathrm{lb}$ represents that portion of the weight of the boat and its occupants supported by one davit. CG represents the center of gravity of the davit. The weight of the davit itself is $900\ \mathrm{lb}$. The ship has a "list" of $12^{\circ}$. Calculate the reactions at supports $B$ and C. Assume that the reaction at $B$ is at $90^{\circ}$ to the axis of the davit and that the support at $C$ is a pocket.
