1. Advanced Management Accounting Case:

Harwood Medical Instruments PLC (HMI), based just outside ofBirmingham, England, manufactured specialty medical instruments andsold them in market niches that were becoming increasinglycompetitive and price sensitive because of pressures toreducehealth care costs. HMI was organized into nine divisions each runby a general manager. Over the years, HMI had gorwn bothorganically and by acquisition. Six of the divisions had beenacquired by HMI within the past decade. All of HMI's divisions soldmedical products to hospital, laboratories, and/or doctors, so theneed for product quality and reliability was high. The divisionsvaried significantly, however, in terms of the degree to whichtheir success depended on, for example, development of newproducts, efficiency of production, and/or customer service.Bonuses for division general managers were paid semi-annually. Upto the year 2009, these bonuses were calculated as 1% of divisionoperating profits. HMI's managing director, Andy Guthrie, hadconcerns though that the operating profit measure was too narrowlyfocused. He had been reading articles about performance measurementand decided to implemnt a "more balanced" scorecard. In November2009, just before introducting a new bonus plan, Mr. Guthrieexplained to his chief financial officer that he was willing to payout higher bonuses than had been paid historically if improvedperformance warrantd doing so. The new plan provided a base bonusfor division general managers of 1% of division operating profitsfor the half-year period. this base bonus was adjusted asfollows:

Increased by $5,000 if over 99%of deliveries were on time; by $2,000 if 95-99% of deliveries wereon time; or by zero if less than 96% of deliveries were ontime.

Increased by $5,000 if sales returnswere less than or equal to 1% of sales, or decreased by 50% of theexcess of sales returns over 1% of sales.

Increased by $1,000 for every patentapplication filed with the UK Intellectual Property Office.

Reduced by the excess of scrap and rworkcosts over 1% of operating profit

Reduced by $5,000 if average customersatisfaction rating were below 90%.

If the bonus calculation resulted in a negative amount for aparticular period, the maanger received no bonus. Negative amountswere not carried forward to the next period. Exhibit 1 showsresults for two representative HMI divisions for the year 2010, thefirst year under the new bonus plan. The surgical InstrumentsDivision (SID), one of HMI's original businesses, sold a variety ofsurgical instruments, including scissors, scalpels, retractors, andclamps. The markets for these products were mature, so growth wasrelatively slow. Not much innovation was needed, but controllingcosts was critical. The Ultrasound Diagnosti Equipment division(Ultrasound), which was acquired in 2007, sold and servicedultrasound probes, transducers, and diagnostic imaging systems. Theultrasound market promised excellent growth and profits if thedivision could keep its sophisticated products on the cutting edgetecnologically and control both product development and productioncosts effectively. In 2009, the total annual bonuses for the yearearned by the managers of SID and Ultrasoundn were approximately$85,000 and $74,000, respectively.

The case describes a company whose manager is concerned that theoperating profit measure included in the company’s bonus plan wastoo narrowly focused. He implemented a new bonus plan that reducedthe weighting of importance placed on operating profit and thatincluded more measures, including on-time deliveries, salesreturns, patent applications, scrap and rework costs, and customersatisfaction.

1. What was the purpose of the change?

2. Calculate the bonus earned by each manager for each 6-monthperiod and for the year 2010.

3. Evaluate the new plan. Is there any evidence that it producedthe desired effects? What

changes to the new plan would you suggest, if any?

whats the answer to

There are two types of plants C3 and C4 plants. In C3plants, Ribulose bisphosphate can fix carbon as explained in thismodule leading to the formation of 3- Phosphoglycerate andeventually formation of sugar through the Calvin cycle. Ribulosebisphosphate is also able to catalyze the reaction in which oxygenis transformed into glycolate which eventually forms CO2 (a processcalled photorespiration). Therefore, in C3 plants, oxygen andcarbon dioxide compete for RuBP. In C4 plants, carbon dioxideinitially reacts with phosphoenol pyruvate to make malate andoxaloacetate. The products of this reaction are then able to travelto an inner compartment of the leaf that contains RuBP and sugar iseventually made. Since RuBP is contained in an inner compartment,oxygen is not able to react with it.

(1) Why are C4 plants able to continue photosynthesiseven at low CO2 levels.

(2) Would you expect the greenhouseeffect (an increase in CO2 content of the atmosphere) to have agreater effect on C3 or C4 plants? Why?

Would you expect the greenhouse effect (an increase in the CO2 content of the armoshere to have a greater effect on C4 or C3 Plants? Why?

There are lots of reports about the "greenhouse effect" on the news these days. These reports invariably contain dire predictions about the effects of elevated levels of CO2, resulting from air pollution, on climate changes and global warming. Consider all of your observations as you address the following questions. 13. What do plants do with CO2 present in the atmosphere? 14. Would you expect photosynthesis to be more or less efficient under "greenhouse effect" conditions? 15. Predict the overall response of plants to elevated CO2 levels. 16. How might the "greenhouse effect" be impacted by plants' response to it?

how greenhouse effect caused climate change ?

I need a brief explanation for each term :

1-greenhouse effect

2-effects of climate change

3-impacts of climate change on human health

4-mitigating climate change effects

5-reasons for declining biodiversity

6-biodiversity values

7-ecosystem services

8-eutrophication

9-effects of increasing N and CO2

how does Climate Change effect Ecosystem

How does climate change specifically affect human health?

a)

Let E and F be two subspaces of R^n. Define
EnF = {u such that u is and element of E and u is an element ofF}
and
E + F = {w = u + v; where u is an element of E and v is an elementof F}

Show that EnF and E+F are subspaces of R^n

b)

Let {u,v,w} be a linearly independent set of vectors of R^4. Let E= span{u,2v} and F=span{w,v}. Find EnF and E + F.

Many teens and young adults have personal music players, such as MP3s, that allow them to take their favorite music with them wherever they go. Such devices require earbuds, and users can often be seen with at least one earbud firmly in place, listening to music as they go about their daily business. Some critics of these music players, however, argue that users tend to be isolated in the world of their music. Users, these critics say, do not really pay attention to what is going on around them; and they behave rudely when they carry on conversations with others while wearing at least one earbud.

Assignment: Do personal music players such as MP3s isolate their users and hamper social interaction? Should such devices be set aside in some situations to promote social interaction and even safety? Plan and write a response in which you state your position and persuade readers to agree with you. Support your opinions with reasons and examples.

Reread Hamlet’s fourth soliloquy below; it is found in the play in Act 4, Scene 4. Then answer the questions on this page and provide director’s notes that indicate how you would instruct an actor to speak and behave while delivering this soliloquy.

Hamlet. … How all occasions do inform against me

And spur my dull revenge! What is a man

If his chief good and market of his time

Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more.

Sure he that made us with such large discourse,

Looking before and after, gave us not

That capability and godlike reason

To fust in us unused. Now, whether it be

Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple

Of thinking too precisely on th' event—

A thought which, quartered, hath but one part wisdom

And ever three parts coward—I do not know

Why yet I live to say, “This thing's to do,”

Sith I have cause, and will, and strength, and means

To do 't. Examples gross as earth exhort me.

Witness this army of such mass and charge,

Led by a delicate and tender prince,

Whose spirit, with divine ambition puffed,

Makes mouths at the invisible event,

Exposing what is mortal and unsure

To all that fortune, death, and danger dare,

Even for an eggshell. Rightly to be great

Is not to stir without great argument,

But greatly to find quarrel in a straw

When honor's at the stake. How stand I then,

That have a father killed, a mother stained,

Excitements of my reason and my blood,

And let all sleep, while to my shame I see

The imminent death of twenty thousand men

That for a fantasy and trick of fame

Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot

Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause,

Which is not tomb enough and continent

To hide the slain? O, from this time forth,

My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!
