...Steeley Associates Monica Beamish Quantitative Methods – MAT 540 Dr. Hesh Ansari May 3, 2013 Steeley Associates Inc., is a property development company. Steeley had purchased a house build in the mid-1800, and had been leasing it to the State University for academic office space. In 2008, the lease on the property expired and Steeley Associates, after consideration, decided to build high-density student apartments. This decision would optimize the full space site. The community was opposed to this proposal and contacted the town’s legal counsel, who informed Steeley they would reject any request for permits. After a series of meetings, Steeley proposed three suggestions on how to handle the property. The suggestions were to request the permit to build student apartments, to sell the property outright and finally request a permit for a low-density office building. Based on the data, the best decision for Steeley Associates for the property is to attempt to build the student apartments. If the permit is approved Steeley could earn $3million. The Expected Monetary Value or EMV is $1.821 million. As indicated by the town council there is only a 10% chance of the permit being approved. Since there is a 90% chance the permit is rejected, the next step Steeley would take is to sue the town. Legal fees would cost Steeley $300,000. The EMV does lower to $1.69 million because of the legal fee costs, and the time it takes to sue the...

...them up, and that’s the greatest value for its customers. Furthermore, they create a “Family plan” which provides a comprehensive protection for a family. Since their target customer is for middle-income Americans, it is widely accepted and the number of membership significantly increases. The main risk that PPLS have is the cancellation rate among members. Since they don’t have disclaimer and penalty for cancellation, members pay monthly with small amount of fee, it is much easier for them to consider of cancellation in any time. Another problem is the communication and relation between PPLS and their associates. Since the mechanism of commission in PPLS is different from other multilevel marketing companies, they might doubt why they receive their commission and the company requests them to return it when the contract cancellation. To some extent, PPLS should let their associates well-understanding the commission system. 2. Base on the post-1995 commission formula and information in the case on pricing and commission rates, calculate the cash inflows for premiums and cash outflows for commissions for years 1 to 3 that would arise from the sign-up of 1000 new members at the beginning of year 1.

...EMERGING ROLES IN HIM National EHR Database Security Synthia Ross ITT Tech Online OLA 1- Managing Business Information Systems Professor Mikal Wilkerson July 27, 2013 Abstract In 2009, President Barack Obama declared that by 2014, all American health records would exist in an electronic format. As part of this undertaking, the federal government has budgeted $19.2 billion in incentives for medical institutions to invest in EHRs via the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). By making health records completely digital, we are entrusting our most private information to “cyber-space” and opening ourselves up to potential violations of privacy. It is imperative that everyone consider the new security issues faced when approaching data storage, transmission and retrieval from various electronic devices. HIPAA’s agenda was to establish privacy, security, and electronic standards for health care providers that handle different types of patient information. The accountability part of the act includes the penalties for breaches in medical privacy, disclosures of patient records by e-mail, or un-authorized network access. How will this mesh into the emerging National Electronics Health Records Database managed by the US Government? National EHR Database Privacy Since 1996, the U.S. government has been forcing the health care industry to take responsibility for the security and control of your personal health information (PHI) by requiring the protection...

...Case Problem #2 Steeley Associates, Inc. a property development firm, property development firm purchased an old house near the town square in Concord Falls, where State University is located. The old house was built in the mid-1800s, and Steeley Associates restored it. For almost a decade, Steeley has leased it to the university for academic office space. The house is located on a wide lawn and has become a town landmark. However, in 2003, the lease with the university expired, and Steeley Associates decided to build high-density student apartments on the site, using all the open space. The community was outraged and objected to the town council. The legal counsel for the town spoke with a representative from Steeley and hinted that if Steeley requested a permit, the town would probably reject it. Steeley had reviewed the town building code and felt confident that its plan was within the guidelines, but that did not necessarily mean that it could win a lawsuit against the town to force the town to grant a permit. The principals of Steeley Associates held a series of meetings to review their alternatives. They decided that they had three options: they would request the permit, they could sell the property, or they could request a permit for a low-density office building, which the town had indicated it would not fight. Regarding the last two options, if they sell the house and property, they think they can get $900,000. If they build a new office building, their...

...Labor and Employment Law Western Governors University This report is in response for a request to analyze three situations to identify if any employment laws were violated. Situation A: An employee was granted an 11 week leave for the birth of his twins. The employee was able to return to his former position with the same rate of pay. The employee requested to be paid for his absence and that request was denied. This employee was granted leave based on the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This act allows employees, who meet the eligibility requirements, to take a specified time period off from work to meet family, medical or military obligations. An employer is obligated to provide leave if the company has 50 or more employees. (J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc., 2011) This company has 75 employees so is covered to provide employees with FMLA if needed. An employee is eligible for FMLA if he/she has worked for the employer for a minimum of 12 total months. The employee in question has worked for the company for 2 years, so is therefore eligible. The Family Leave and Medical Act allows for an eligible employee to take up to 12 weeks of leave for the birth and care of a newborn as one of the acceptable reasons. Some other reasons would be adoption, to care for an immediate family member...
