1) PV & FV computations.

1. If you deposit $100,000 into a saving account yielding 8%, how big will it grow to in 5 years? Assume quarterly compounding.

2. What amount should be deposited in a bank account today to receive $300,000 in 6 years at 12 % interest rate? Assume quarterly compounding.

3. If $4,000 is deposited into an investment account yielding 10% every quarter starting on 1/1/2018, what amount will be available in the investment account in 4 years.

4. What is the present value of 5 $10,000 payments each of which will be received at the beginning of each period, discounted at 6% per a compounding period.

5. Hawk, Inc. issued 20,000 shares of bond on 1/1/2018. Those are $1,000/ share par value, 6 year, 6% stated interest rate bonds. The prevailing market rate on 1/1/2018 was 8%.

Calculate the price of the bond.

6. Hawk, Inc. considers the Pepsi Bottling Company and Coca Cola Bottling Company in

Salisbury for business expansion. Financial analysts specialized in valuation of soft drink companies estimated that Pepsi bottling will earn $400,000 a year over the next 25 years, while Coca-Cola Bottling will earn $600,000 over the next 30 years. Due to different credit rating of the two companies, the prevailing market interest rate of Pepsi is 10% and that of Coca-Cola is 8%. The Pepsi is asking $3,400,000, while The Coca-Cola is asking $6,000,000. Which is the better

offer to Hawk?

For this assessment, imagine your supervisor asks you to write an article on a controversial topic for the organization’s monthly newsletter in which you review the most recent research on the topic. She stresses you must present a balanced overview and equally address the pros and cons of the topic.

Requirements

Once you have identified your topic, organize your article as you wish. Be sure to include the following:

  • Explain the appropriate use of the pharmacology related to the topic. Include elements such as diseases or health concerns associated with the topic and the efficacy and applicability of the pharmacology.
  • Explain the relationship between quality patient outcomes, patient safety, and use of the pharmacology related to the topic. Remember to address both the benefits and limitations of the pharmacology in terms of specific diseases and populations.
  • Explain how the topic affects both the community and the organization in terms of promoting health and wellness.
  • Describe any inequities regarding access to the pharmacology related to the topic. Is access limited to specific groups or populations? Who determines access? On what is it based? Does access influence choice?
