Compute the disbursement float, collection float, and net float in dollars.
Clearwater Glass Company examined its cash management policy and found that it takes an average of five days for checks that the company writes to reach its bank and thus to be deducted from its checking account balance. On the other hand, an average of four days elapses from the time Clearwater Glass receives payments from its customers until the funds are available for use at its bank. On an average day, Clearwater Glass writes checks that total $70,000, and it receives checks from customers that total $80,000. (a) Compute the disbursement float, collection float, and net float in dollars. (b) If Clearwater Glass has an opportunity cost equal to 10 percent, how much would it be willing to spend each year to reduce collection delay (float) by two days?

Determine whether the law and the ANA’s standards support or conflict with that action.
Legal and Ethical Conduct As emphasized in this week’s media presentation, all nurses need to be familiar with the laws and regulations that govern their practice: their state’s Nurse Practice Act, ANA’s Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, specialty group standards of practice, etc. In addition, basic ethical principles guide nurses’ decision-making process every day. ANA’s Code of Ethics and ANA’s Social Policy Statement are two important documents that outline nurses’ ethical responsibilities to their patients, themselves, and their profession. This said, there is a dilemma: The laws are not always compatible with the ethical positions nurses sometimes take. This week’s Discussion focuses on such a dilemma. To prepare: Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the information in the media presentation about the relationship between the law and ethics. Consider the ethical responsibility of nurses in ensuring patient autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance, and justice. Read the following scenario: Lena is a community health care nurse who works exclusively with HIV-positive and AIDS patients. As a part of her job, she evaluates new cases and reviews confidential information about these patients. In the course of one of these reviews, Lena learns that her sister’s boyfriend has tested HIV positive. Lena would like to protect her sister from harm and begins to consider how her sister can find out about her boyfriend’s health status. Consult at least two resources to help you establish Lena’s legal and ethical position. These resources might include your state’s Nurse Practice Act (I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA), the ANA’s Code of Ethics, ANA’s Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, and internal or external standards of care. Consider what action you would take if you were Lena and why. Determine whether the law and the ANA’s standards support or conflict with that action. Post by Day 3 a description of the actions you would take in this situation, and why. Justify these actions by referencing appropriate laws, ethical standards, and professional guidelines.

You tell your supervisor about the situation, and explain that you would like to develop a patient education handout. Something that your fellow nurses could use when educating patients to make sound nutritional decisions. Your supervisor thinks it is an excellent idea and is interested to see what you develop! Create a 2-page, patient education handout that addresses the following: Explain the principles of integrative nutrition. Emphasize the importance of food as medicine. Describe the ways integrative nutrition is influenced by patient-factors, including attitudes, social/cultural habits, and environmental surroundings.

Which quality improvement process should the nurse leader use to analyze this issue?

Compute the net present value of the project without the consideration of inflation.
Christopher Construction Company can invest in a project which costs $2,5000 and has a useful life of five years. The project is expected to reduce the firm’s operating expenses by $10,000 a year. Depreciation is straight line over five years (no salvage value five year later), the tax rate is 40%, and the cost of capital is 12% in the absence of inflation. (a) Compute the net present value of the project without the consideration of inflation.(b) If inflation of 8 percent is expected over the life of the project and cash savings are adjusted upward, what is the project’s net present value? Assume an inflation-adjusted discount rate is 20.96 percent.( Note that the inflation adjusted discount rate = (1+.12)(1+.08) = 1.209600 20.96%)
