Scenario: Your best friend works for an In-Home Health Provider Company (IHHPC) in Palm Beach County, Florida. Your friend comes

to you and explains that the In-Home Health Provider Co. wants to expand the next year to Broward County and Dade County. Your friend explains the company is dealing with a cash flow problem and if it is not figured out over the next six months the IHHPC will not meet the asset requirement for the expansion loan. IHHPC Revenue:
80% private pay patients.

10% Health insurance.

10% Long Term Care Insurance Policy.

Process at IHHPC: Your friend explains this is how the IHHPC works. A patient would call in and request a nurse for eight hours, seven days a week, starting the next day. The company would send the nurse the next day, then bill the patient on a weekly cycle. The IHHPC would mail a statement to the patient at the end of the first week of service. By the time the patient would get around to writing a check, and mailing it back in to the IHHPC, sometimes the company would not receive payment for six to eight weeks. The company would be paying the nurse weekly although not receiving payment for services yet.

What would you advise him or her and explain why?

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Advise I would give.

1. The process for the collection of cash should be changed to bring in revenue faster. This can be done in a variety of ways,.

- By including in the terms of the contract that the service has to be paid for within a certain period such as a maximum of 4 weeks and then follow up each week on the customer so that they remember that they have a due bill.

- Giving payment based discounts such as a 5% discount if the service is paid for within a fortnight.

- Telling the customer to pay first, if not the full amount, at least a down payment with the total being settled at a later date.

These are but just some ways of getting the money faster but the bottomline is that payment needs to be received faster because the nurses are paid on a weekly basis.

2. Focus more on Patients with Insurance.

The company has a very low clientele base that use insurance and they should aim to increase that figure. This is because Insurance pays out timely and IHHPC will be sure that their payment will come because an Insurance company is bound by certain rules and regulations. For security of payments therefore, they should increase their insurance based clientele.

A free market economy is when the prices of supply and demand are free from the government. Meaning they can charge whatever they want and the government has to say. So answering your question they can just charge less if they felt like it since they have free reins of the prices.

A command economy is the opposite whereas supply and demand prices are determined by the government and the government only. The government would probably not change the prices because the government sucks.

(A mixed economy is the best way to achieve that)

Suppose that, at an official ticket price of $480, there are 6,000 Justin Timberlake fans wanting to attend his concert, but onl
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A. The market clearing price of the tickets is more than $480.

Explanation:

Market-clearing price is a level where the quantity demanded of a product matches or the quantity supplied. At this price, A product or service does not experience any surplus or shortages.  It is the price where the demand curve and the supply curve intersect. The market-clearing price is the same as the equilibrium price.

As the price of $480, the demand for the show is at 6000, but supply is at 4000. There is a surplus in demand. The price of $480 is attractive to more people than supply can handle. Matching supply and demand would require the price to be set above the $480.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

4.25%

Explanation:

We need to calculate the net present value of the cash flows to determine the  IRR.

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of Cash outflows

As the cash inflow and outflow are fixed for specific period of time so, we will use the annuity formula to calculate the NPV.

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-5) /18% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-12) /18%) x ( 1 + 18%)^-6 ]

NPV = $15,636 - $7,102 = $8,534

We need NPV on a higher rate of 10%

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-5) /10% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-12) /10%) x ( 1 + 10%)^-6 ]

NPV = $18,954 - $15,385 = $3,569

IRR = Lower rate + [ Lower rate NPV / (Lower rate NPV - Higher rate NPV) ] (higher rate - lower rate)

IRR = 10% + [ 3,569 / ($3,569 - $8,534) ] (18% - 10%)

IRR = 4.25%

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The answer is: D) Not human subjects

Explanation:

Her research project is about junk food availability, and that doesn´t include research with human beings. The research should be classified as Not Human Subject since it doesn´t involve any living individual.

Research done on humans are classified as:

  • Exempt from review: if it involves very minimal or no risk for human participants.
  • Expedited review: if it doesn´t classify as exempt review but it involves no more than minimal risk to the participants and meets other standards, such as not including protected classes or vulnerable populations, and not using intentional deception.
  • Full board review: If it doesn´t classify as exempt from review or expedited review.
