Assignment 1: DiscussionPopulation Growth
To study the growth of a population mathematically, we use the concept of exponential models. Generally speaking, if we want to predict the increase in the population at a certain period in time, we start by considering the current population and apply an assumed annual growth rate. For example, if the U.S. population in 2008 was 301 million and the annual growth rate was 0.9%, what would be the population in the year 2050? To solve this problem, we would use the following formula:
P(1 + r)n
In this formula, P represents the initial population we are considering, r represents the annual growth rate expressed as a decimal and n is the number of years of growth. In this example, P = 301,000,000, r = 0.9% = 0.009 (remember that you must divide by 100 to convert from a percentage to a decimal), and n = 42 (the year 2050 minus the year 2008). Plugging these into the formula, we find:
P(1 + r)n = 301,000,000(1 + 0.009)42
= 301,000,000(1.009)42
= 301,000,000(1.457)
= 438,557,000
Therefore, the U.S. population is predicted to be 438,557,000 in the year 2050.
Lets consider the situation where we want to find out when the population will double. Lets use this same example, but this time we want to find out when the doubling in population will occur assuming the same annual growth rate. Well set up the problem like the following:
Double P = P(1 + r)n
P will be 301 million, Double P will be 602 million, r = 0.009, and we will be looking for n.
Double P = P(1 + r)n
602,000,000 = 301,000,000(1 + 0.009)n
Now, we will divide both sides by 301,000,000. This will give us the following:
2 = (1.009)n
To solve for n, we need to invoke a special exponent property of logarithms. If we take the log of both sides of this equation, we can move exponent as shown below:
log 2 = log (1.009)n
log 2 = n log (1.009)
Now, divide both sides of the equation by log (1.009) to get:
n = log 2 / log (1.009)
Using the logarithm function of a calculator, this becomes:
n = log 2/log (1.009) = 77.4
Therefore, the U.S. population should double from 301 million to 602 million in 77.4 years assuming annual growth rate of 0.9 %.
Now it is your turn:
Search the Internet and determine the most recent population of your home state. A good place to start is the U.S. Census Bureau (www.census.gov) which maintains all demographic information for the country. If possible, locate the annual growth rate for your state. If you can not locate this value, feel free to use the same value (0.9%) that we used in our example above.
Determine the population of your state 10 years from now.
Determine how long and in what year the population in your state may double assuming a steady annual growth rate.
Look up the population of the city in which you live. If possible, find the annual percentage growth rate of your home city (use 0.9% if you can not locate this value).
Determine the population of your city in 10 years.
Determine how long until the population of your city doubles assuming a steady growth rate.
Discuss factors that could possibly influence the growth rate of your city and state.
Do you live in a city or state that is experiencing growth?
Is it possible that you live in a city or state where the population is on the decline or hasnt changed?
How would you solve this problem if the case involved a steady decline in the population (say -0.9% annually)? Show an example.
Think of other real world applications (besides monitoring and modeling populations) where exponential equations can be utilized.

please answer these questions and in the end please ask two questions to the readers
Read the Staying on Course with Strategic Metrics article. As a future health care administrator, you will be required to evaluate the strategies, efficiency, efficacy, and outcomes of your department or strategic business unit (SBU). After examining the article, analyze the strategic alternatives that result from monitoring strategic metrics pertaining to your in the role of a department or SBU manager. List at least two strengths and weaknesses of basing strategic alternatives solely on strategic metrics. Support your primary response with at least one scholarly source. Provide in-text citations and complete references for all sources used. Format your post according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center
This is for my English 101 class.down below I uploaded 2 small essays 1)from an American childhood by Annie dillard, 2) strangers, by Toni morrison. At the end of each essay there are a few questions which youll have to answer them INDIVIDUALLY. for essay 1 answer questions 1,2,3,4 (only for has to be 2 paragraphs). For essay 2 answer questions 1,2 and 3 (only 3 has to be 2-3 paragraphs). They could be in a pretty simple language since Im not an American. So total of 6 questions.
There are two parts in the essay first is the teaching and diversity assessment
Diversity Major Assessment, you will provide a self-reflection of how you have professionally and personally grown in your MSED program in understanding and providing for diverse student populations and the impact you have had on your students academic success. Consider the knowledge, skills, and dispositions effective educators should exhibit in working with P-12 diverse student populations. Use your completed Teaching Log: Working With Students From Diverse Backgrounds to complete this Major Assessment.
Steps:
A. First, review your completed Teaching Log and look for specific examples of your work with the following student subgroups: males, females, students from low socioeconomic groups, students with disabilities/exceptionalities, English language learners, and students from ethnic/racial groups in P-12 settings.
B. Second, complete the electronic Walden Diversity Proficiency Self-Assessment. It is located in the Diversity Major Assessment area of your ePortfolio.
C. Third, based on your analysis of the Teaching Log: Working With Students From Diverse Backgrounds and the results of the Walden Diversity Proficiency Self-Assessment, respond to the following:
1. In thinking systematically about your practices related to diversity, what areas would you define as your strengths, and what areas would you define as needing improvement? Support your analysis with notes from the Teaching Log and the results of the Walden Diversity Proficiency Self-Assessment.
2. Effective teachers are responsible for meeting the educational needs of an increasingly diverse student population. How have your values, attitudes, and dispositions been enhanced or changed regarding equitability and the belief that all students can learn? Additionally, how has this impacted your students intellectual, social, engagement, motivation, and personal development? In your response, make connections between your professional practices and what you have learned in this program. Provide at least two specific examples.
3. What might you do to continue to grow and improve in reaching all students? In your answer, discuss at least three action items you will put into practice to ensure that all students receive equitable opportunities to achieve. Action items must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Then, describe how you will monitor your progress related to these action items. (See SMART Goals in Glossary.)

Please I need the following part (1to 5) to be completed based on the project information given below. Thank You!
1. Purpose Statement
2. Financial Statements
3. Income Statement,
4. Critically analyzed One Project Risk
5. Explained Fixed and Variable costs as they pertain to this project
Background of Project
The industry of medical devices involves a number of monitoring and reconstructive devices. Some of those devices include cardiac and diabetic care as well as hip and knee replacements. The owners of a medical device manufacturing firm called JointsOrthohave recently reviewed information about the expected growth of the aging population in the United States. Every day 10,000 Americans are turning age 65 every the population of older adults is expected to reach 89 million people by the year 2050. This figure is more than double the number of older adults in the United States in 2010.
Orthopedic medical devices are one of the fastest growing areas in medical device manufacturing. The owners of JointsOrtho or JO,manufacture full hip and knee replacements and would like to have your firm set up a financial plan for opening a new manufacturing plant that makes medical devices often used for Orthopedics. Specifically you will set up a plant that manufactures Full Hip Replacements in Delaware. Each Full Hip Replacement will be sold throughout the United States at a cost of $36,750 each, including shipping, etc.
Sales are expected to be between 1,000 and 1,200 hips per month. This figure is above what they are already producing in their first plant.
Depreciation for equipment should be set to 10 years.
Beyond the information provided you are unable to get any further guidance from the owners or the Financial Department at the other warehouse location. Remember, you are setting up a project proposal and sending your recommendations to the owners ofJointsOrtho. You will be presenting it to them in teleconference. You may wish to do the written portion of the assignment in a Word Document or PowerPoint. If you use PowerPoint be sure to use the notes section to write out detailed information. A reference sheet/page is required for either format you select. The Financial Statements can be included in the same document or submitted separately. Each Group Member must submit all documents to their Assignment Folder!
You will need to provide information to the owners of JointsOrtho that includes what it will cost to open a facility and hire workers and determine if the facility will breakeven within the first 12 months.
You will be hiring a total of 3 shift supervisors and a total of 45 employees (including shift supervisors) to do various manufacturing of the hips, clean up, shipping, etc. The 45 workers will be paid as follows:
15 of the workers will be paid at the rate of $18/hour for 40 hours per week (molding specialists)
10 of the workers will be paid at the rate of $16/hour for 40 hours per week (machining specialists)
5 of the workers will be paid at the rate of $13/hour for 40 hours per week (cleaning and maintenance)
10 of the workers will be paid at the rate of $17/hour for 40 hours per week (shipping and receiving)
3 shift supervisors will be paid at the rate of $20/hour for 40 hours per week
1 plant manager will be paid a salary of $6,000 per month
1 administrative/human resources person at the rate of $15/hour for 40 hours per week
