...Mike Henkle QLT1 Task 5 Western Governors University A. Create a story problem using one of the above real-world scenarios as a basis, including realistic numeric values, by doing the following: 1. Describe the real-world problem. I was looking into phone plans and stumbled upon T-Mobile, and I decided that I needed a cell-phone and took a look at the plans. T-mobile had one plan that was 50 dollars a month and is unlimited talk, text and web, T-Mobile also has a plan for 30 dollars a month for 1,500 talk and text minutes. After you go through your allotted 1,500 talk and text time was up, the cost skyrockets up to 10 cents a minute. 10 cents a minute comes out to 6.00 per hour, I thought in my head. I decided that instead of jumping into a decision about phone plans, that I should first go home and do the math. I wanted to figure out which plan was going to be the most cost effective, and which plan would suite my needs the best. 2. Explain all needs (e.g., financial, non-financial, situational) of the hypothetical consumer. The needs include many different factors: • The first and most important factor how much do you use your phone? The breaking point on the problem today is 200 talk or text above the 1500 minute plan and I will be paying less up front but more on the back end which is no good. If I chose the 1500 minute plan, I will not want to be going over the 1500 minutes as then the cost would go up to 10 cents...

...Quantitative Literacy Quantitative Problem Solving QLT Task 5 January 20, 2013 Task A Misty is going to start college in the fall. Her father has agreed to pay her tuition and board but she must cover all other expenses, including supplies and books. Misty has been working a summer job to save money for these expenses and is hoping to be thrifty enough in her purchases to not have to work during her first semester of college. She is anticipating a large expense on books but is hoping to save some money on purchasing school supplies by looking at discount retailers instead of the college bookstore. Misty has found two companies, Company A and Company B, with some great back to school deals on school supplies. Company A is offering ten percent off each dollar spent on school supplies with no minimum purchase required. While that sounds like a great deal, Company B is offering twenty-five percent off all school supplies purchased after spending an initial one hundred dollars. While both options offer a great discount, Misty wants to determine which would save her the most money. Before moving any further, Misty must determine what her total bill for school supplies might be by identifying the items she will need to purchase and then totaling the final cost. Once that has been ascertained, she will need to calculate the possible savings on each plan to determine which one will be most cost effective. Task B In order to calculate the savings, Misty is going...

...QLT 1: Task 5 A1. Ryan has started a new job in downtown Atlanta. He is looking at different options for parking his vehicle during the workweek. He has narrowed it down to two options, a parking garage offering a flat rate of $30 dollars a month and another garage slightly further away which charges 0.15¢ per hour. A2. Ryan just recently moved to Atlanta for this new job opportunity. Taking into consideration the financial impact the move has created such as purchasing a new place, new furniture, and all necessary necessities, it will be critical he find the cheapest option for parking. A3. The first cost option is parking garage A, which features a monthly unlimited parking pass for $30 dollars a month. The second option is parking garage B, which is slightly further away from his job but charges 0.15¢ a hour. B1. To determine the best cost effective parking option we will need to determine which offers the best rates. A standard 8 hour work day will be used to determine how many hours per day to charge. a = Number of days, x = Total price. Parking garage A - (a - a) + 30 = x Parking garage B - (0.15 x 8) a = x B2. Parking Garage A will be charged a flat rate regardless of how many days it is used. Thus having the days cancel out so the flat 30 dollars is consistent across the month is needed to compare the relationship of parking garage B. Parking Garage B since it is a hourly rate will need to take into account the standard work day...

Jung understandable and useful in people’s lives.

I am particularly delighted by four developments. First, your Company succeeded in yet another blockbuster generic launch in the USA under 180days marketing exclusivity. Dr. Reddy’s launched olanzapine 20 mg tablets, the generic version of the brand Zyprexa®. Olanzapine is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This product has added around USD 100 million to your Company’s revenues for FY2012. Second, the biosimilars business continues along its impressive growth path. In my letter to you last year, I had discussed the critical importance of developing biosimilars in the years to come. I am happy to note that your Company’s global biosimilars business grew by 45% over last year and recorded sales of USD 26 million. Today, the biosimilars portfolio of Dr. Reddy’s constitutes (i) filgrastim, (ii) peg-filgrastim, (iii) rituximab and (iv) darbepoetin alfa, which have commercial presence in 13 countries among emerging markets. These are helping to treat patients suffering from cancer — and at prices that are significantly more affordable than the corresponding innovator drugs. Soon, I expect to see Dr. Reddy’s biosimilars entering developed markets. Third, as a scientist-entrepreneur, I am pleased with the steady growth in your Company’s 1 EBIDTA and PAT are adjusted...
