Is there an alternative other than extending credit to Curtis for 30 days?

Now without further ado, the instructions to the assignments are below:InstructionsCookie Creations (Chapters 9 and 10)This assignment will focus on the Cookie Creations case study from Chapter 9 (page 9-37) and Chapter 10 (page 10-42) of your textbook. There are two parts to this assignment. Review the case situations for each part (i.e., in each chapter), and then complete the instructions.Part IOne of Natalie’s friends, Curtis Lesperance, runs a coffee shop where he sells specialty coffees and prepares and sells muffins and cookies. He is eager to buy one of Natalie’s fine European mixers, which would enable him to make larger batches of muffins and cookies. However, Curtis cannot afford to pay for the mixer for at least 30 days. He asks Natalie if she would be willing to sell him the mixer on credit.Natalie comes to you for advice. She asks you to address the questions below.Curtis has given me a set of his most recent financial statements. What calculations should I do with the data from these statements, and what questions should I ask him after I have analyzed the statements? How will this information help me decide if I should extend credit to Curtis?Is there an alternative other than extending credit to Curtis for 30 days?I am thinking seriously about being able to have my customers use credit cards. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of letting my customers pay by credit card?The following transactions occurred in June through August 2020.June 1: After much thought, Natalie sells a mixer to Curtis on credit, terms n/30, for $1,150 (cost of mixer $620).June 30: Curtis calls Natalie. He is unable to pay the amount outstanding for another month, so he signs a 1-month, 8.35% note receivable.July 31: Curtis calls Natalie. He indicates that he is unable to pay today but hopes to have a check for her at the end of the week. Natalie prepares the journal entry to record the dishonor of the note. She assumes she will be paid within a week.Aug. 7: Natalie receives a check from Curtis in payment of his balance owed.Instructions:Answer Natalie’s questions in a Word document.Prepare journal entries for the transactions that occurred in June, July, and August in an Excel spreadsheet. Round to the nearest dollar. Note that the company uses a perpetual inventory system. Use the Part I Excel Template (which will be attached below) to record your transactions.To reiterate, you will write your responses to Natalie’s questions (1–3) in a Word document, and you will complete the journal transactions in an Excel spreadsheet. Your responses to Part I (Natalie’s questions) should be a minimum of one page in length, and you will add your responses for Part II to this document before submitting.Part IINatalie is also thinking of buying a van that will be used only for business. The cost of the van is estimated at $36,500. Natalie would spend an additional $2,500 to have the van painted. In addition, she wants the back seat of the van removed so that she will have a lot of room to transport her mixer inventory as well as her baking supplies. The cost of taking out the back seat and installing shelving units is estimated at $1,500. She expects the van to last 5 years, and she expects to drive it for 200,000 miles. The annual cost of vehicle insurance will be $2,400. Natalie estimates that at the end of the 5-year useful life, the van will sell for $7,500. Assume that she will buy the van on August 15, 2020, and it will be ready for use on September 1, 2020.Natalie is concerned about the impact of the van’s cost on her income statement and balance sheet. She has come to you for advice on calculating the van’s depreciation.Instructions:Determine the cost of the van.Prepare three depreciation tables for 2020, 2021, and 2022: one for straight-line depreciation (similar to the one in Illustration 10-9), one for double-declining balance depreciation (Illustration 10-13), and one for units-of-activity depreciation (Illustration 10-11). Use the Part II Excel Template (which be attached below) to determine depreciation. For units-of-activity, Natalie estimates that she will drive the van as follows: 15,000 miles in 2020; 45,000 miles in 2021; and 50,000 miles in 2022. Recall that Cookie Creations has a December 31 year-end.What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s balance sheet at December 31, 2020? What impact will the three methods have on Natalie’s income statement in 2020?What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s income statement over the van’s total 5-year useful life?What method of depreciation would you recommend Natalie use, and why?Use the same Word document that you used to record your Part I responses (one page in length), and add your responses for the Part II questions (1–5), which should be one page in length.In summary, you will submit one Word document containing your responses for Parts I and II (two-page minimum) and two Excel spreadsheets containing Natalie’s journal transactions from Part I and the depreciation tables from Part II. You will upload a total of three files to Blackboard (one Word document and two Excel spreadsheets).There are no resources required for this assignment; however, your Word document should be formatted using APA Style.There are several attachments below first four are screen shot from the text book and basic examples of how to calculation Methods (from Chapter 9 & 10). The next attachment is the Excel Template for part one of the assignment that must complete. Then Study Guide will be the next attachment. Following the study will be the second template for part 2 of the assignment. And remember the response for both part 1 & 2 of the assignment goes in one Word document (Two pages minimum in total for both responses – APA style). Complete both complete both templates in there own separate documents. NO PLAGIARISM NO PLAGIARISM!!!!!!

Identify at least five (5) things you might do to increase your knowledge and use of evidence in your nursing practice

Promoting Evidence-Based PracticeIn recent years, the implementation of evidence-based practice has been identified as a priority across nearly every nursing specialty (Prevost & Ford, 2020). In addition, nurses are increasingly accepted as essential members and often as leaders, of the interdisciplinary health-care teams. To effectively participate and lead a health-care team, nurses must have knowledge of the most effective and reliable evidence-based approaches to care, increase their expertise in critiquing research, and apply the evidence of their findings to select optimal interventions for their patients (Prevost & Ford, 2020).Instructions:Read the infomation above, and then answer the following questions:Identify at least five (5) things you might do to increase your knowledge and use of evidence in your nursing practice? (explain each suggestion and how it fits in the nursing practice)What are the most significant and driving and restraining forces to make this change?Would you expect covert or overt resistance to your efforts?Will you need to enlist support from others or acquire additional resources for this planned change to occur?

Generate a 95% confidence interval estimate of the true BMI.

1. The following are body mass index (BMI) scores measured in 12 patients who are free of diabetes and participating in a study of risk factors for obesity. Body mass index is measured as the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in meters squared. Generate a 95% confidence interval estimate of the true BMI. 25 27 31 33 26 28 38 41 24 32 35 402. Consider the data in Problem 1. How many subjects would be needed to ensure that a 95% confidence interval estimate of BMI had a margin of error not exceeding 2 units?3. The mean BMI in patients free of diabetes was reported as 28.2. The investigator conducting the study described in Problem 1 hypothesizes that the BMI in patients free of diabetes is higher. Based on the data in Problem 1 is there evidence that the BMI is significantly higher that 28.2? Use a 5% level of significance.4. Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a measure of a patient’s ability to expel air from the lungs. Patients with asthma or other respiratory conditions often have restricted PEF. The mean PEF for children free of asthma is 306. An investigator wants to test whether children with chronic bronchitis have restricted PEF. A sample of 40 children with chronic bronchitis are studied and their mean PEF is 279 with a standard deviation of 71. Is there statistical evidence of a lower mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis? Run the appropriate test at a=0.05.5. Consider again the study in Problem 4, a different investigator conducts a second study to investigate whether there is a difference in mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis as compared to those without. Data on PEF are collected and summarized below. Based on the data, is there statistical evidence of a lower mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis as compared to those without? Run the appropriate test at a=0.05.GroupNumber of ChildrenMean PEFStd Dev PEFChronic Bronchitis2528168No Chronic Bronchitis25319746. Using the data presented in Problem 5,a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean PEF in children without chronic bronchitis.b) How many children would be required to ensure that the margin of error in (a) does not exceed 10 units?7. A clinical trial is run to investigate the effectiveness of an experimental drug in reducing preterm delivery to a drug considered standard care and to placebo. Pregnant women are enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drug, the standard drug or placebo. Women are followed through delivery and classified as delivering preterm (< 37 weeks) or not. The data are shown below.Preterm DeliveryExperimental DrugStandard DrugPlaceboYes172335No837765Is there a statistically significant difference in the proportions of women delivering preterm among the three treatment groups? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.8. Using the data in Problem 7, generate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of women delivering preterm in the experimental and standard drug treatment groups.9. Consider the data presented in Problem 7. Previous studies have shown that approximately 32% of women deliver prematurely without treatment. Is the proportion of women delivering prematurely significantly higher in the placebo group? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.10. A study is run comparing HDL cholesterol levels between men who exercise regularly and those who do not.

A randomized controlled trial is run to evaluate the effectiveness of a new drug for asthma in children. A total of 250 children are randomized to either the new drug or placebo (125 per group). The mean age of children assigned to the new drug is 12.4 with a standard deviation of 3.6 years. The mean age of children assigned to the placebo is 13.0 with a standard deviation of 4.0 years. Is there a statistically significant difference in ages of children assigned to the treatments? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance.24. Consider again the randomized controlled trial described in Problem 22. Suppose that there are 63 boys assigned to the new drug group and 58 boys assigned to the placebo. Is there a statistically significant difference in the proportions of boys assigned to the treatments? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance.25. A clinical trial is run to evaluate the effectiveness of a new drug to prevent preterm delivery. A total of n=250 pregnant women agree to participate and are randomly assigned to receive either the new drug or a placebo and followed through the course of pregnancy. Among 125 women receiving the new drug, 24 deliver preterm and among 125 women receiving the placebo, 38 deliver preterm. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of women who deliver preterm.26. “Average adult Americans are about one inch taller, but nearly a whopping 25 pounds heavier than they were in 1960, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The bad news, says CDC is that average BMI (body mass index, a weight-for-height formula used to measure obesity) has increased among adults from approximately 25 in 1960 to 28 in 2002.” Boston is considered one of America’s healthiest cities – is the weight gain since 1960 similar in Boston? A sample of n=25 adults suggested a mean increase of 17 pounds with a standard deviation of 8.6 pounds. Is Boston statistically significantly different in terms of weight gain since 1960? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance.27. In 2007, the CDC reported that approximately 6.6 per 1000 (0.66%) children were affected with autism spectrum disorder. A sample of 900 children from Boston are tested and 7 are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Is the proportion of children affected with autism spectrum disorder higher in Boston as compared to the national estimate? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance.28. A clinical trial is being planned to investigate the effect of a new experimental drug designed to reduce total serum cholesterol. Investigators will enroll participants with total cholesterol levels between 200-240, they will be randomized to receive the new drug or a placebo and followed for 2 months, and the total cholesterol will be measured. Investigators plan to run a test of hypothesis and want 80% power to detect a difference of 10 points in mean total cholesterol levels between groups. They assume that 10% of the participants randomized will be lost over the 2 month follow-up. How many participants must be enrolled in the study? Assume that the standard deviation of total cholesterol is 18.5.29. An observational study is conducted to investigate the association between age and total serum cholesterol. The correlation is estimated at r = 0.35. The study involves n=125 participants and the mean (std dev) age is 44.3 (10.0) years with an age range of 35 to 55 years, and mean (std dev) total cholesterol is 202.8 (38.4).a) Estimate the equation of the line that best describes the association between age (as the independent variable) and total serum cholesterol.b) Estimate the total serum cholesterol for a 50-year old person.c) Estimate the total serum cholesterol for a 70-year old person.30. For each statement below, indicate whether the statement is true or false.a) In logistic regression, the predictors are dichotomous, and the outcome is a continuous variable.b) When calculating a correlation coefficient between two continuous variables, the scales on which the variables are measured affect the value of the correlation coefficient.c) It is more difficult to reject a null hypothesis if we use a 10% level of significance compared with a 5% level of significance.d) The sample size required to detect an effect size of 0.25 is larger than the sample size required to detect an effect size of 0.50 with 80% power and a 5% level of significance.31. For each question below, provide a brief (1-2 sentences) response.a) How is the slope coefficient (b1) in a simple linear regression different than the coefficient (b1) in a multiple linear regression model?b) When would a survival analysis model be used instead of a logistic regression model?c) What is the appropriate statistical test to assess whether there is an association between obesity status (normal weight, overweight, obese) and 5-year incident cardiovascular disease (CVD)? Suppose each participant’s obesity status (category) is known as is whether they develop CVD over the next 5 years or not.32. An observational study is conducted to compare experiences of men and women between the ages of 50-59 years following coronary artery bypass surgery.
