You need to determine an interest rate to use—select an interest rate and explain why you think this number should be used. Use it in your calculations in item 1.2.
Given the information below on options 1 and 2, carry out three forms of analysis: breakeven, ROI, and NPV.
Make a recommendation on which way to proceed, based on the TCO for each option.
Option 1: Purchase the FunSoft package: Cost $200,000 for software and $85,000 for hardware in year one; with $50,000 to customize it and a $40,000 annual licensing fee for the life of the contract. There will be an annual saving of $61,000 due to the layoff of a clerk.
Option 2: Purchase the SoftComm package, which will operate on the vendor’s hardware: Cost $250,000 for a five-year license, payable half up front and half during the first year of implementation. The maintenance contract, at $75,000 a year, includes all currently identified modifications to the software for the first three years. The clerk’s hours will be cut by half, for a saving of $25,000 a year.
In both cases, sales are expected to increase from the current $1 million a year, by 10% per year each year (over each year’s previous year’s sales) after full implementation.
Assume a five-year life for the software.
For a Good work,
Use the integration of content and external material on Project Initiation, Overview of Project Planning, for the calculations of Returns on Investment, Net Present Value, and Total Cost of Ownership to compare projects.

social work mar

Objective: This assignment is designed to help you articulate the challenges associated with providing social work to students in schools.
*Reflect on the below event involving a student, as a school social worker what may prompt you to respond in a manner that is different from what other staff such as the school teachers, administrators, or nurses might expect?
*Consider the Code of Ethics: “Best interest of the child(ren)” who may be experiencing challenges based on race, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Example Event:
This is only an example.
A first grade student comes to school wearing oversized clothing and smells of cat urine. The child’s siblings are older and all appear to be dressed in size appropriate attire; however, they, too, smell of cat urine. The class teacher complains of the smell and appearance of the child and complains to you and the vice-principal that the student’s condition is both heartbreaking and a cause of disruption to other students in the class. Both the teacher and the vice-principal believe you should immediately report this to Child Welfare Services (CWS). You believe you should speak with the child and perhaps the siblings and parents to get a clearer picture of what may be occurring as this does not sound as if it a suspicion of abuse or neglect yet. In addition, you know by law that teachers are not allowed to defer their duty to report and, if a report should be made, it should be from the teacher who has first hand knowledge of the concern.
Answer:
How would you address this? Remember the sociological imagination and taking on a broader perspective than “judging” the individual.
Provide feedback to at least two of your group members using correct grammar and sentence structure. Responses must demonstrate insight and foster continued learning. Responses that are short and do not demonstrate effort, such as simply stating “Good idea. I agree,” will not receive full points.
While this activity is graded as complete/incomplete it is part of the course learning experience and counts towards this week active engagement.
SCHEMAS
/0 Comments/in Humanities /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
Most everyone has seen criminal trials (both fictitious and real) on TV. You know, then, that the trial starts with opening statements and ends with closing arguments by the prosecution and defense, respectively.
For this Discussion, you will examine the advantages and disadvantages of schemas.
TO PREPARE
BY DAY 3
Post how your preconceptions (i.e., your schema) might supersede the schema (i.e., theory) of the case as presented by attorneys for the state and for the defendant during opening statements. How might the strength of your preconceptions cause you to reject the attorneys’ attempt to provide a schema for the case?

WU The Impact of Sunk and Opportunity Costs Discussion
/0 Comments/in Health Medical /by bonniejecintaQuestion
THE IMPACT OF SUNK AND OPPORTUNITY COSTS
Two types of costs that can easily be overlooked when making decisions are sunk costs and opportunity costs. A sunk cost is a cost that was incurred in the past. It cannot be recovered or changed regardless of any management decisions. An opportunity cost is the cost associated with not choosing one alternative over another, and it can be measured in monetary and nonmonetary means. For example, imagine that an organization hosted a 3-day retreat to promote team building, but it was unappreciated by the employees and caused more harm than good. Once the retreat was paid for and attended, it was a sunk cost, since the managers can never return to the past and change the fact the retreat happened. The opportunity costs in this situation could be that employees could have spent those 3 days more productively by completing a project, the funds for the retreat could have been utilized elsewhere (e.g., bonuses), or a more effective retreat or team-building exercise could have been booked instead. In this Discussion, you will consider an example of a sunk or opportunity cost and its impact on an organization.

Anatomy Question
/0 Comments/in Science /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
Instructions: A&P Topic: Endocrine system
Your final project will be a 5-7 page paper, focusing on one major system (Endocrine system) we have studied this semester. You will use this system as the starting point, and then relate it to the other systems we have studied (Integumentary System, skeleton system, muscular system, nervous system, central nervous system, Peripheral Nervous System, and Autonomic Nervous System).
For example, if you choose the skeletal system, you would not only describe in your own words the major anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) of the system, but you would also talk about how the muscular system is attached and how the nervous system enervation effects skeletal movement and health, how the endocrine system regulates growth and cellular turn over, by using the special sense of sight you can direct how the skeletal system moves in space, how the circulatory system and digestive system work to bring in nutrients and remove wastes, etc.
The goal of this paper is to get you thinking about how no system is operating in isolation, rather everything works together to support the underlying principles we talked about in module one in detail and the core of this course:
You may use drawings of your own making (they can be uploaded as photos) to help with your paper (they do not count in terms of pages, however!). They do not have to be professional using colored pencils/pens and sketching is fine.
This is a project where you really can demonstrate all that you have learned with your hard work this semester!
Remember to use citations throughout the text. I am not looking for more sources than your textbook and perhaps the lab manual (WE CAN WORK AROUND THIS- I WILL USED MY TEXTBOOK BY MATCHING THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE). Thank you.

Juan and Ross have successfully started their server business. They have developed their product and
have shown customers that it works. They have also successfully marketed their business and products
resulting in sales of 29 servers. This means that they have successfully been able to eliminate two of the
three major risks associated with any start-up business: technology risk (Does the product work?), and
marketing risk (Can the product be sold?). The remaining risk is that of scale, can the sales be grown.
Juan and Ross are aware that most Angel and Venture Capital investors are willing to take this risk. They
initially decide to go out and access Angel funding. The problem is that they have no idea as to what
their company is worth, how much money they can raise, and what percentage of the company will the
investor(s) own?
Since Juan and Ross are based in San Diego they agree that they will use the standard value for
companies in San Diego as their base value.
Juan and Ross have no idea as to how to rate their management talents. They are very familiar with the
market, their competition, how to position their product versus their competition, the technology of
their product, etc. The feedback they have received to date regarding their presentations has been very
positive.
The size of the opportunity is very large with the market for servers expected to reach $45 billion in
2028.
The technology that Juan and Ross have developed is unique and solves many of the problems data
center providers encounter including heat, weight, and power.
Juan and Ross do not know of any direct competition for their product although several large companies
sell servers.
The two entrepreneurs believe that they know how to position and sell their products and have had
some success to date. They now believe it is time to ramp up their sales and marketing efforts.
Given the size of the market, they will certainly need additional investment if they are to achieve their
goals.
Assignment
1) Value Ross and Juan’s company.
2) How much money should they look to raise?
3) What percentage of the overall ownership will the investors own?

Human Needs Theory: “The human-needs nursing theories were among the earliest of the nursing theories. In general, these theories followed the philosophical school of thought of the time by considering the person to be a biopsychosocial being and focusing on meeting the individual’s needs.” (McEwen & Wills, 2023, p.160) The concept of the human needs theory was that patients should be cared for until they are able to care for themselves. The assumptions are that human, environment, health, and nursing are an important part of healing patients.A healthy environment, nutritious food, and accurate observations are a must for patients to heal. The implication is that if you are around an unhealthy environment, you will not heal. This was tested as when Florence Nightingale provided a clean and healthy environment during the Crimean War. Casualties went down to 2 percent. This is a most basic theory that cleanliness will decrease infection, healthy food will nourish the body to help it heal, and that educating the patients will increase compliance.
Interactive Nursing Theory: This theory has a belief that humans are holistic beings who interact with, and adapt to, situations in which they find themselves. The concept is that people have biologic, psychosocial, and spiritual subsystems that needs to be addressed holistically. The assumption is that “The nurse focuses on all aspects of the total person, systematically noting the interrelations of the systems and the relationships of the systems to time and environment.” (McEwen & Wills, 2023, p.166) The implication of interactive nurse theory is that you must care for all aspect of patients not only the disease process. In interactive nursing theory we can see that the relationship between the nurse and patient is important. “A transpersonal caring relationship connotes a spirit-to-spirit unitary connection within a caring moment, honoring the embodied spirit of both practitioner and patient within a unitary field of consciousness.” (McEwen & Wills, 2023, p.186) This type of theory takes into account the spirit when it comes to end-of-life care since we are treating patient holistically.
