...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...

...Running Head: QLT1 Task 1 Rev 1 QLT1 Task 1 Rev 1 QLT1 Task 1 Mary is going away to college. In order to stay in touch with her family and friends she needs to get a cell phone with a calling plan. At this time Mary isn’t sure what her monthly phone usage is going to be. After consulting with her college friends, she estimates her usage will be between 200 and 900 minutes per month. A local phone company offers two basic calling plans: Plan A. offers a package consisting of monthly charge of $50.00 and $0.10 for each minute. Plan B. offer is a monthly fee of $15.00 and $0.18 per minute. The phone company charges for actual time used for both plans, so if Mary used .75 Min for talk time she would pay for actual time used [(.75) x per minute rate] Plan A The cost of plan (Y) X= phone usage in minutes (this is our variable) Y=50 + 0.10(x). The cost of plan A (Y) is $50 base charge plus $.10 per each minute (x) represented in a linear equation. Plan B X= phone usage in minutes (this is our variable) Y=15 + .18(x). The cost of plan B (Y) is $15 base charge plus $.18 per each minute (x) represented in a linear equation. 1. Which plan would offer greater savings if Mary’s monthly phone usage was 200 min?

...QLT1 Task 5 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 a minute or 6.00 per hour. • Is this replacing a work or office phone? If...

...Part A: A couple is comparing two daycares to determine the best option for their 1 year old son. A home-based daycare charges a flat rate of $5 per hour. A center-based daycare charges a fixed rate of $185 per week, providing 40 hours of childcare. Above 40 hours, the center-based daycare then charges a fixed rate of $8 per hour. The couple determines that the driving distance to each daycare is the same, thus driving expenses do not need to be considered. The couple will require 50 hours of childcare per week and are looking for the cheapest daycare, as they are soon expecting their second child. Part B: 1. “y” represents total cost per week in dollars “x” represents hours Home based daycare: y=5x Center based daycare: y=185+8(x-40), x≥40 hours 2. For the home based daycare, they charge a flat rate of $5 per hour. Thus the couple can calculate their cost by multiplying $5 by the number of hours they need for childcare each week. For the center based daycare, the couple can calculate their weekly cost by adding the $185 fixed rate to the cost of any additional hours needed after 40. Thus, if they are going over 40 hours, they would subtract 40 hours from the total number of hours needed and multiply that by the $8 the center charges for each additional hour. 3. y=5x y=185+8(x-40) y=185+8(x-40) 5x=185+8x-320 5x=-135+8x 5x-8x=-135+8x-8x -3x=-135 -3 -3 x=45 y=5x y=5(45) y=225 Thus, both the center based and the home based...

...A1 Andrew has just moved to Los Angeles and bought a car and is looking for the best parking option that will allow him to save the most money. There are two parking garages by his work. One charges $40 per month and the other charges 20 cents per hour. Which option will be less costly for him? A2 Since Andrew is new to the area it is necessary that he find the cheapest parking option possible in order to cut down on expenses in the new city as he has just purchased a new car and had high moving costs. A3 Andrew’s two options are the monthly parking garage which charges $40 per month or the hourly parking garage which charges 20 cents per hour. B1 A work day has 8 hours A is the number of days the car will be parked. T will be the total price Monthly parking garage: (A-A)+40=T Hourly parking garage: (0.2 x 8)A=T B2 The monthly parking garage doesn’t charge by the day so having the days at zero just leaves the $40 charge. The hourly parking garage multiplies the rate by 8 hours since there are 8 hours in a work day. That is then multiplied by the total number of days in a month that the car will be parked. B3 We set both equations equal to each other in order to find the solution for the number of days. Set both equations equal to each other (A-A)+40=(0.2 x 8)A Subtract (A-A) 40=(0.2 x 8)A Multiply inside the parentheses (0.2 x 8) 40=(1.6)A Multiply (1.6)A 40=1.6A Divide both sides by 1.6 25=A A=25 days solution We...

... Task A. Answer the following five learning objectives [Maximum 100 words per objective] 1. Distinguish between the various social-cognitive theories of health behaviour. 2. The major barriers to health promotion are health, individual, family, cultural and ethnic barriers. Health barriers involve lack of preventive visits to the doctor for health assistance. Individual barriers include the immediate satisfaction from negative behaviours despite the negative consequences. For example, excessive alcohol leads to hangovers; it provides a momentary escape from reality. Also, women are likely to contribute in health preventative and promoting behaviours than men. Family barriers include genetics, which children’s health behaviour is acquired, copying parental behaviour. Cultural barriers demonstrate the low knowledge of health preventative behaviours. 3. The major sources of stress covers life and terrible events as well as daily hassles. Life events are changes in an individual’s life, which will cause them to readjust. One of the few major stressors includes the death of a loved one, unemployed and acculturative stress. Immigrants and refugees go through acculturative stress as they try to adapt the new environment and culture and overcome the language barriers. Catastrophes are stressors that cause vast amounts of suffering, nature and human related. Earthquakes, bushfires and floods are examples of natural catastrophes and wars are human catastrophes. Daily hassles are minor...

...A1) A parent is looking for the best option for daycare for a child. A home-based option charges a flat rate of $10 per hour. A center-based option charges a fixed fee of $332.50 per week for 35 hours and then a fixed rate of $11 per hour for any hour provided over the set amount. Determine which option is most advantageous for the parent based upon the parents’ needs. A2) The parent works a 40 hour work week. Each of the daycare options is a half an hour away from the parent’s office. This means that the child is there for a total of 45 hours a week. The parent has federal holidays (10 holidays in 2014), the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve off so there will be weeks that the child will not be in daycare for the full week. The parent also receives two weeks of vacation each year. Other situations to consider are that the child and/or parent could get sick or they could take a short vacation and the child will not have to attend the daycare for the full week. A3) If the parent chooses to go with the home-based option, the parent will be charged a flat rate of $10 per hour. This option gives the parent the freedom to either take the child to daycare or to not and only be charged for the hours the child is there. If the child is there for 45 hours a week, the parent will pay $450 for that week; if the child is there for only 20 hours a week, the parent will pay $200 for that week. If the parent chooses to go with the center-based option, the parent will be charged $332...

...Why entrepreneurial organizations seek opportunities for innovation. In today’s business world, the organizations that fair the best in business society are often those organizations that strive to be more creative and innovative. These organizations do not follow in the footsteps of other companies; instead, they often use innovative ideas from others as a way to birth new ideas, products, or services of their own. Entrepreneurial organizations often distance themselves from their competition rather than compete with them. If another organization duplicates their ideas, products, or services—an entrepreneurial organization that is rich with innovation won’t back down, instead they create something new and better, adding a creative twist to what was old or duplicated. This level of creativity and strong determination allow these organizations to achieve long-term success. With that said, there are many reasons why entrepreneurial organizations seek opportunities for innovation. These reasons are: 1. Competitive Advantage: Organizations that maximize their creative and innovative skills often gain a competitive edge against their competitors. Developing a new edge or making a product or service better can mean survival or a way to stay ahead of the competition. The main element for staying ahead of the rest is innovation. Organizations that become more innovative, see things from a new perspective, take calculated risks, and become more agile. Gaining a competitive advantage...

...Task 5 Moving Truck Cost Analysis The Thompsons have lived in Canada all their life but recently Mr. Thompson got a job offer he could not refuse. The new job will require they move to the west coast of the United States. This is going to require they move across the country from New Brunswick, Canada to Seattle, WA. Which is a total of 3200 miles. Although the company Mr. Thompson will be working for will reimburse them for the move, they still have a budget they need to stay under so they can have enough money for hotel stays, stocking the house with food, cleaning supplies etc. when they arrive. They are planning on leaving early and site seeing on the way but still arrive at least two weeks early so they have time to settle in. Arriving early though means there will be a big gap between paychecks so budgeting is very important. They narrowed it down to two companies, Acme Moving which charges $2.00 per mile and Lightening Moving that charges $1500 for the first thousand miles and $2.25 for each mile over 1000. They have to analyze the costs and figure out which one is going to be the best deal. The Equation: Lightening Moving Co. Lightening Moving charges $1500 for the first 1000 miles and then $2.25 for each mile over 1000. Let X = Amount of miles traveled 1500 = the initial cost of the first 1000 miles 3,200 = the total amount of miles traveled $2.25 per mile over 1000 miles therefore; 1500 + 2.25(X-1000) = Cost of moving over 1000 miles 1500 + 2...
