...Pediatric calculations Accurate doses are especially important in giving medications to infants and children because even small errors can be dangerous due to their small body size. Two methods are used to calculate pediatric dosages: According to the weight in kilograms (kg) According to the child's body surface area (BSA) Calculations based on body weight 1. The first step is to convert the child's body weight into kg. The formula is 2.2 lb. = 1 kg. 2. The second step is to calculate the medication dose. a. Calculate the daily dose b. Divide the daily dose by the number of doses to be administered. c. Use either the ratio-proportion or formula method to calculate the number of tablets/ capsules or volume to be administered with each dose. Example: A child weighing 76 lbs. is ordered to receive 150 mg of Clindamycin q6h. The pediatric drug handbook states the recommended dose is 8-20 mg/kg/day in four divided doses. The Clindamycin is supplied in 100 mg scored tablets. 1. What is the weight in kg? 76 lbs÷2.2kg/lb. = 34.5 kg 2. What is the safe total daily dose? Minimum: 8 mg/kg/day X 34.5 kg = 276 mg/day Maximum: 20 mg/kg/day X 34.5 kg = 690 mg/day 3. Is this a safe dose? 150 mg/dose X 4 doses/day = 600 mg/day Yes this is within the recommended safe range. 4. Calculate the number of tablets to give. 100 mg: 1 tablet = 150 mg: x (multiply means 100...

...strategies has financial costs and benefits. These are discussed below. 1) Ten per cent increase through efficiency The efficiency improvement strategy carries no costs and should yield 10 per cent on the bottom line, or about an additional $12,100 profit. The calculations are: $550,000 annual revenue x 2% margin = $11,000 net profits $11,000 net profit x 10% efficiency improvement = $1,100 $11,000 + 1,100 = $12,100 increase in net profits 2) Add adventure diving The adventure diving resort strategy will require about $15,000 to get started. It should yield about $95,680 additional revenue. The calculations are: 8 divers per trip x $115 for each diver = $920 revenue per trip $920 each trip x 2 dives per week - $1,840 revenue per week $1,840 revenue per week x 52 weeks = $95,680 annual adventure diving revenue 3) Focus on family diving The family diving resort strategy will cost $60,000 to $160,000 (in renovations and improvements) and should yield at least an additional $157,000 over current revenues, assuming no increases in prices. If Coral Divers raises its prices to equal other family resorts, the revenues should be even higher. Two methods of calculation are shown below. Method 1: Occupancy during high season is 90 per cent, so: 90% (“x”) = 0.90x [where “x” equals total seasonal revenue] And occupancy during low season is 50 per cent, so: 50% (“x”) = 0.50x [where “x” equals total seasonal revenue] ...

...whether a floor price and taxing on alcohol would benefit Thailand’s population and also whether the UK should trial similar ideas. A Simple Model for Demand To be able to work out the effect that the increase in demand will have on the annual consumption I would have to interpret the data given in the report. As we are told, the price per litre of alcohol is expected to increase by 60% to 2,500 Baht in 2013, I was therefore able to work out that in 2012 the average price of alcohol would have been 1,562.5 Baht per litre by doing the following calculation: 2500 / 160% = 1562.5 2500 / 160% = 1562.5 378 / 100 1.5 = 372.33 378 / 100 1.5 = 372.33 Moreover, as we were also told in the report the annual amount of alcohol consumed in 2012 was 378 million litres and that this is expected to decrease by 1.5% by 2013. I was able to calculate the predicted amount of litres of alcohol consumed by doing the simple calculation: An Equation for the Demand Curve The information that I have formulated above has allowed me to be able to calculate the gradient and more importantly the equation of the demand curve between Thailand’s annual consumption of...

...now trading at $37.41 and $78.69, which are both significant rises since five years ago. After finding the closing monthly stock prices for Wal-Mart, Microsoft and the S&P 500, as well as the monthly yield for a 30-year T-bond, we took their average for each to find the expected return. Respectively for Microsoft and Wal-Mart we found the expected returns were 1.54% and 0.88%. For Microsoft this is well above the benchmark of the S&P’s expected return, which was 1.30%, while for Wal-Mart it is well below the benchmark. We also found that Microsoft and Wal-Mart’s expected returns are higher than the average monthly yield of a 30-year T-bond, which is good because it shows they are outperforming a risk free asset. Following our calculation of expected return we went onto other risk and return measures like variance and covariance. The variances of Microsoft and Wal-Mart are 0.47% and...

...Pioneer Petroleum Case Analysis Pioneer Petroleum Cases Analysis The Problem: Pioneer Petroleum Corporation (PPC) has two major problems that are interfering with the goal of the firm to maximize shareholder wealth. The first is that PPC has been calculating their weighted average cost of capital incorrectly, by incorrectly calculating their after tax cost of debt and their cost of equity. This miscalculation has subjected PPC to more risk and has hurt the company’s ability to make appropriate investment decisions. This has also led PPC to accepting investment decisions that should not have been included within their acceptable range. Second, PPC has been using a single company-wide rate for their multi-divisional company. In either instance the company is not maximizing wealth. Statement of Facts and Assumptions: PPC has been calculating their after tax cost of debt using the coupon rate of 12% instead of the actual interest rate which is 8%. Taking the 8% interest rate into account, PPC’s actual cost of capital would be calculated as: [.08(1-.34)]= 5.28%. PPC has simply been using 10% (their equity growth rate) as their cost, but must instead either use the CAPM model to calculate their cost of equity, or the Dividend-growth model. If they use the CAPM model, which is the most accurate, their cost of equity will be: .078+.8(.1625-.078)=14.56%. Or they can use the Dividend-growth model and their cost of equity would be: (2.7/63)+.1=14.29%. Both are...

...and e. will require that you use a financial calculator, given the complexity of the problems. There are several calculators on the internet. (See the Web Sites section of this site.) The key inputs are: interest rate, future value, number of annual payments, and amount of each payment. f. is another bonus opportunity (one point). For this bonus question, you have to make an assumption that, under annual compounding, the bank will pay interest on the mid-year payments, and the rate for those payments is that rate which produces an effective annual rate of 10.0 percent. 5. Same comments as for question 4 above, and again one bonus point is possible for f.

...with stamped drawings, you'll eventually need to do commercial load calculations in the field or on a licensing exam. The NEC covers commercial calculations in Art. 220, but other articles also apply. For example, you must know the definitions in Art. 100, be familiar with what Art. 210 says about continuous loads, and understand the overcurrent protection requirements set forth in Art. 240. Two items associated with this type of calculation repeatedly need clarification: * Voltage The voltage to use for your calculations depends on the system design voltage. Thus when you calculate branch-circuit, feeder, and service loads, you must use a nominal system voltage of 120V, 120/240V, 208Y/120V, 240V, 347V, 480Y/277V, 480V, 600Y/347V, or 600V unless otherwise specified (220.2) (Fig. 1 below). * Rounding Refer to 200.2(B) to end the rounding mystery. When the ampere calculation exceeds a whole number by 0.5 or more, round up to the next whole number. If the extra is 0.49 or less, round down to the next whole number. For, example, round 29.5A up to 30A, but round 29.45A down to 29A. Specific loads. Art. 220 doesn't cover all specific loads. For example, you'll find motors in Art. 430 and air conditioners in Art. 440. To know if you should look in another Article, use the NEC index. <b>Fig. 1.</b> Don’t make the mistake of using actual field measurements of system voltage in your calculations. Unless specified otherwise, loads shall be computed using the nominal...

...Technology Uber increases efficiency through various technologies, which lowers the cost. Therefore, Uber is able to provide lower prices charged to customers, and become more competitive in the market. Technology can be divided into two components, the app technology for consumers and the demand calculation technology at the firm. The Uber app is available for iPhone/Android devices and uses GPS from the requested pickup destination to display a map of all available Uber cars in the area. Uber calculates the nearest driver and plots your pickup time accordingly. Each driver is also given an iPhone with an app to manage incoming customer requests. Therefore, Uber drivers know exactly where they should go, instead of driving around and looking for customers. The demand calculation app employs prediction algorithms and heat maps to predict expected demand at different times of the day. It analyzes how many times the app is open and where clusters are located to help manage taxi supply and demand. The result: “shorter waits for riders and busier, more efficient days for drivers”. (Devin McClaine, “Rider Seeking Taxi Driver”, San Francisco Business Chronicle, February 3, 2012, http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/print-edition/2012/02/03/rider-seeking-taxi-driver.html) Uber also employs Willingness to Pay (WTP) to increase revenue.
