Interest rates and credit card percentages, graphs and charts to be included in report-DUE in 5 hours

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Analysis of Credit Card Debt

Credit card debt is a reality for many in today’s world. Suppose that you had a $5,270.00 balance on a credit card with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 15.53 percent. Consider the following questions and prepare a report based upon your conclusions. This report must be submitted as a Word document and attachment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox. Consider the following questions and prepare a report based upon your conclusions. Your report should be created as a Word document, but you are encouraged to create graphs and charts (which can be made in Excel and copied to the Word document) to illustrate your points. Remember: make sure you explain what the charts and/or graphs mean; do not assume the reader understands what they mean.

Most credit cards require that you pay a minimum monthly payment of two percent of the balance. Based upon a balance of $5,270.00, what would be the minimum monthly payment (assuming no other fees are being applied)?
Considering the minimum payment you just calculated, determine the amount of interest and the amount that was applied to reduce the principal. Hint: You’ll need to find the total interest for the year first.
Consider one of your credit cards. What is the balance? How is the minimum monthly payment determined? What would be the minimum payment? How much of the minimum payment goes towards interest? How much of the minimum payment goes towards the principal? If you do not want to share an actual balance or do not have a credit card, calculate these amounts using an imaginary credit card balance.
Now, examine the terms of one of your credit cards or other revolving debt. Are there other charges that the credit card company is applying to your account? Are you receiving a special rate for a limited time? Does your card charge an annual service charge or an inactivity fee?
Examine a credit card bill (or other revolving debt) and see how long it will take to pay off your debt if you paid only the minimum payments (you can also use an online calculator like the one at http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/managing-debt/minimum-payment-calculator.aspx). What steps could you take to pay off this credit card (or debt) sooner? Determine the percentage of the principal that you need to pay down in order to pay off the credit card in the time frame of your choosing.
Many Americans find themselves amassing large amounts of credit card (or other revolving) debt at an early age. What advice concerning the use of credit cards and the fees they charge would you provide to a young adult planning on getting a credit card?

Structure and Function of the Kidney

Rivka is an active 21-year-old who decided to take a day off from her university classes. The weather was hot and the sun bright, so she decided to go down to the beach. When she arrived, she found a few people playing beach volleyball, and they asked if she wanted to join in. She put down her school bag and began to play. The others were well prepared for their day out and stopped throughout the game to have their power drinks and soda pop. Several hours after they began to play, however, Rivka was not feeling so good. She stopped sweating and was feeling dizzy. One player noted she had not taken a washroom break at all during the day. They found a shaded area for her, and one of the players shared his power drink with her. Rivka was thirstier than she realized and quickly finished the drink.

In pronounced dehydration, hypotension can occur. How would this affect the glomerular filtration rate of the kidney? What actions by the juxtaglomerular apparatus would occur to restore GFR?
What is the effect aldosterone has on the distal convoluted tubule? Why would the actions of aldosterone be useful to Rivka in her situation?
What does a specific gravity test measure? If someone tested the specific gravity of Rivka’s urine, what might it indicate?

Case Study 3

Disorders of Fluid and Electrolyte Balance

Amanda is an 18-year-old with anorexia nervosa. She was recently admitted to an eating disorders clinic with a BMI of 13.9, and although she was a voluntary patient, she was reluctant about the treatment. She was convinced she was overweight because her clothes felt tight on her. She complained that even her hands and feet “were fat.” One of her nurses explained that a protein in her blood was low. The nurse further explained that, as difficult as it may be to believe, eating a normal healthy diet would make the “fat hands and feet” go away.

What protein do you suspect the nurse was referring to? How would a deficiency in this protein contribute to edema?
What is the difference between the physiology of pitting and nonpitting edema?
Because of her weakened condition, Amanda was moved around the ward in a wheelchair when she was not on bed rest. How does this affect her edematous tissues?

Case Study 4

Disorders of Acid–Base Balance

Shauna is a healthy, fit 28-year-old who decided to go on a 2-week tour of Mexico for young singles. One hot afternoon in a small market community, she grabbed some fruit juice from a street vendor. Several hours later, she developed abdominal cramping and diarrhea. The diarrhea became so severe that she missed 3 days of the tour and stayed in her hotel room. By the end of her illness, she felt weak and tired. Her head ached, but the mild fever had disappeared, and she was able to join her new friends for the rest of the tour.

What is the acid–base imbalance Shauna might have experienced and its etiology?
What are the functions and importance of the bicarbonate buffer system in the body?

Case Study 5

Disorders of Renal Function

Fred, a fit and healthy 44-year-old, was working outside one warm summer afternoon. When he returned home by the end of the day, his lower back felt sore and he felt nauseated. His wife made him dinner, but he was not hungry and chose to go to bed instead. Fred’s symptoms progressed, and soon he was rolling on the bed with excruciating pain. He said his back hurt as well as his stomach and groin area. The pain would ease off only to return a short while later, and when it did, Fred would begin to sweat and run to the bathroom to vomit. His wife became concerned and started the car. When his symptoms abated, she helped him into the car and rushed him to the hospital.

At the hospital, an abdominal radiograph showed the presence of renal calculi in Fred’s right ureter (urolithiasis). What is the mechanism of stone formation in the kidney? What is the role of citrate in the kidneys?
Why would the administration of calcium supplements be useful for a patient with calcium oxalate stones?
Hydronephrosis can be a complication of renal calculi. What is hydronephrosis? How does back pressure occur in a kidney, and what physiological mechanism is responsible for nephron damage when back pressure is present?

Case Study 6

Acute Renal Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease

Will is a 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension. Eight months ago, he started regular dialysis therapy for ESRD. Before that, his physician was closely monitoring his condition because he had polyuria and nocturia. Soon it became difficult to manage his hypertension. He also lost his appetite, became weak, easily fatigued, and had edema around his ankles. Will debated with his physician about starting dialysis, but she insisted, before the signs and symptoms of uremia increased, the treatment was absolutely necessary.

What is the difference between azotemia and uremia?
Two years ago, Will’s physician told him to decrease his protein intake. In spite of what the physician ordered, Will could not stop having chicken, beef, pork, or eggs at least once a day. Why did his physician warn him about his diet?
Will’s feelings of weakness and fatigue are symptoms of anemia. Why is he anemic?
Knowing what you do about Will’s history, why is left ventricular dysfunction a concern for his physician?

Case Study 7

Disorders of the Bladder and Lower Urinary Tract

Alvita is a frail 89-year-old woman residing in a nursing home.

The Mason’s New Car

Assignment 1: The Masons’ New Car

Due Week 6 and worth 200 points

Note: The company mentioned here in is merely a hypothetical organization with characteristics developed to enable students to respond to the assignment. You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment if those assumptions are consistent with the facts presented. Do not make assumptions which obviate the need to conduct a legal analysis of the issues.

Scenario

Earlier this year, Paul Mason and his wife Chardonnay Mason went to Rivertown and Gregory Ford, Dodge and Chryslers LLC. to purchase a new car. Last time the Masons bought a car was in 1990 when they bought their current car, a 1991 Plymouth Voyager van. The Mason’s daughter, Rosé recently gave birth to the Masons’ first grandchild and the proud grandparents were excited to be taking a road trip from Macon, Georgia to Freehold, New Jersey, to see the new addition to the Mason family. They knew that the old Plymouth had seen better days and that it might not make the 2,000 plus mile round-trip. The Masons were leaving for New Jersey in the morning, so they needed a new car and fast. When the Masons met with the salesperson at R&G, they explicitly stated that they were on a fixed income and could afford no more than $400 per month in the form of a car note. They were, however, willing to trade in their old van toward the purchase of the new car.

Hector Dosales, one of R&G’s most aggressive salespersons, convinced the Masons to buy a new Chrysler 200. By the time the Masons were ready to buy, it was after 9:00 p.m. and the dealership was soon closing. To speed things along, Hector had the Masons sign blank form contracts that he would fill out the next day. Among the blank contracts that the Mason’s signed were a “Retail Installment Sales Contract”, a “Retail Buyer’s Order”, and an “Odometer Disclosure Form”. When Paul Mason asked about the terms of the deal, Hector said not to worry about it. He would structure things so that the payments would be under their $400 limit. When Paul asked how much he was getting for his trade-in, Hector said, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll make sure you get a fair price.” While the various forms were being signed, Chardonnay, who has a weak bladder, excused herself and in the confusion neglected to sign the Retail Buyer’s Order.

The next day when Hector was filling out the sales documents, he was having difficulty getting the car payments under the $400 per month limit he had promised. While reviewing the forms, he noticed that the Odometer Disclosure Form indicated that the Masons’ van had only 58,528 miles on it. Due to the exceptionally low mileage on the vehicle, Hector was able to substantially raise the trade-in value, thereby reducing the car payments to just under $400 per month. The Odometer Disclosure Form had, in fact, been completed by Mary Jane, one of the clerks working at the dealership.

After Hector had completed the sales documents and while the Masons were on their road trip, Hector attempted to place the sales documents with a third-party finance company. Because of the Masons’ low monthly income and poor credit history, no one was willing to purchase the contract. In the meantime, the Masons’ van was sent to auction. A Carfax report quickly indicated that the correct mileage on the vehicle was 154,000 miles not 54,528 miles. In fact, service records from R&G’s service department, where the Masons regularly brought the car for maintenance, clearly indicated that the car had over 100,000 miles on it. Because of the high mileage, the Van sold for $800 at auction, despite the $2,800 Hector had indicated as a trade value.

When the Masons returned home, they were contacted by the service department of R&G and asked to bring in their new car for a complimentary service and detailing. When the Masons arrived, they surrendered the keys to the new Chrysler and were subsequently asked into a meeting with Hector and Felicia Fees, head of the finance department at R&G. Felicia informed the Masons that they did not qualify for financing the new car and that unless they had the cash to buy it, they would have to return the car. Of course, the Masons did not have the money to buy the car and told Felicia that they could just keep the car and they would take their old car back. Felicia informed the Mason’s that their van had already been sold at auction. Moreover, the Masons would be responsible for the usage of the new car at the standard lease mileage rates of .45c per mile. Since they drove the car 2,500 miles, they owed the dealership $1,125. Subtracting the $800 R&G received for the Masons’ van at auction, Felicia demanded payment from the Masons of $325. Needless to say, the Masons refused.

The Masons have filed suit against R&G in Magistrate Court in Macon, Georgia, to recover the value of their van which they claimed to be the $2,800 Hector listed in the sales documents. (Magistrate Courts are low level courts that handle, among other things, small claims matters.) R&G has moved to dismiss the case and compel the Masons to arbitrate any claims they might have in accordance with the Arbitration clause contained in the Retail Buyer’s Order, which reads as follows:

“Buyer and Dealer agree that all claims, demands, disputes and controversies of every kind or nature that may arise between them concerning any of the negotiations leading to the sale of the vehicle, the terms and provisions of the sale, the performance or condition of the vehicle, or any other aspects of the vehicle and its sale shall be settled by binding arbitration. … Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the Buyer and the Dealer to resolve by binding arbitration all disputes between them concerning the vehicle, its sale and its condition, including disputes concerning the terms and conditions of the sale, the condition of the vehicle, any damage to the vehicle, the terms and meaning of any of the documents signed or given in connection with the sale, any representations, promises or omissions made in connection with negotiations for or sale of the vehicle, or any terms, conditions or representations made in connection with the financing, credit life insurance, disability insurance, and vehicle service contract purchased or obtained in connection with the vehicle.”

The Retail Buyer’s Order also contained the following provisions:

“If the purchase of the vehicle is being financed, Buyer understands that the sale is contingent upon obtaining approval of the financing by the financing agency. In the event that the vehicle has been delivered to Buyer but financing approval is not obtained, Buyer agrees to immediately return the vehicle to the Dealer.”

Claims

You are the Magistrate Judge in Macon County Georgia and have to decide this case. The Masons make the following claims in the complaint:

There never was a contract in this case since the contract documents were not completed at the time they were signed. Since they did not contain the essential elements of a contract, no contract was formed.
Since there was no contract, sale of the van was the tort of conversion and they are entitled to the value of the van which the defendant’s own statements value at $2,800.

The defendant answered the complaint and moved to dismiss and to compel arbitration. The answer made the following statements:

There was a contract because the actions of the parties indicated intent to make a contract.
The Masons signed an arbitration agreement, and under the law are required to bring their claims before an arbitrator and not the courts.
The Masons have been unjustly enriched by the use of the new Chrysler and must pay the reasonable value of that use.
The Masons committed fraud by signing a false Odometer Disclosure Form. Because of their fraud, the Masons are estopped from recovering anything on the value of the van.

Assignment Requirements

How Cartoons Positively Influence Children
Cartoons are paintings or drawings designed for humor or caricature. A cartoon maybe in form of videos mostly appearing on television but can also be drawn in magazines to deliver a certain message. Cartoons are non-realistic or semi-realistic drawings or paintings that maybe illustrated in visual art. This art has been around since the middle ages, when it was defined as a preparatory drawing for some art such as tapestry, stained glass or even fresco (Bendazzi, 1984). Cartoons became humorous in nature in the 19th century where they were mostly present in magazines and newspapers. They evolved to comic strips and animated films in the 20th century. Animation is simply a style that images are made to show motion or movement (Bendazzi, 1984). The greatest viewers of cartoons are mostly children but some cartoons also appeal to the adult audience.
Cartoons are the most frequent and easily accessible form of entertainment for children today. Before the advent of cartoons and animations, children would be found outside engaging in games and fun activities. Nowadays, the trend has changed as most children will be found indoors, their little eyes glued to the television screens all day. Most parents are fine with this, seeing that most of their time is spent on other activities like work, therefore cartoons come as a great relief as they keep their children busy while parents go about their duties, as the parents are assured of the safety of their children within the household premises.
The big question is whether these cartoons really add value to the lives of our children. Do the cartoons influence and educate children in a positive way? While it is true that cartoons have both positive and negative effects on our children, the positive effects far outweigh the negative effects of cartoons.
The first and most important effect of watching cartoon in children is its modifying effect on the behavior of children. Research shows that cartoons help form good character and develop good and upstanding morals in the society. The early stages of childhood is when the child’s mind is developing and they form impressions easily therefore they are easily influenced by activities around them. At this early age, they learn to differentiate between bad and good (Witt, 2000). For this reason, it is very important to make the right and the best decisions for one’s child regarding whether or not to watch cartoons. Cartoons regardless of its type develop imagination, increase attention, and improve a kid’s sense of humor. These three things are very important aspects of a child’s character. Imagination and thinking effectively help the child learn how to cope with different experiences of the real world. Children are known by their vivd imaginations and cartoons help develop their imagination and curiosity about life, making life a very thrilling experience.
Children in earlier times would face a lot of danger while in the outside environment including injuries and negative influences from other kids. With the start of cartoon programs, parents may easily monitor their children since they are just in their rooms. The risk of getting injuries reduces once a child is in the house compared to while in the outside environment. Cartoons focus the attention of children to the television set and for this reason all the kids in modern times are always in the house reducing the negative influences from bad company (Hossler, 2004). Being in the house also gives time for kids to socialize with their parents, for instance the parents can join their children in watching these cartoons. This enhances parent – child relationships as the children bond with their parents over activities they enjoy. With the children in the house, parents can strictly monitor and discipline the kids for effective growth. All young children occupy themselves watching cartoons, where else they could spend this time exploring harmful and non-educative things. Young minds need to feed the right information in order for effective growth and development (Hossler, 2004).
There are various cartoons that not only provide wholesome entertainment for children, but also educate them. For example, ‘Dora the Explorer’, is a cartoon that teaches children about shapes and sizes and the identification of colors (Bibi & Zehra, 2012). Such cartoons make learning an exciting adventure and not a boring duty, hence making the children more open to education. Furthermore, studies conducted by The Cambridge University Department of Autism Research have shown that cartoons teach children with autism about human emotions (Smith, 2010). According to the studies, autistic children who because they love order and predictability are often confused by the varying human emotions shown by normal people, are able to learn about these emotions when they are systematically exposed to cartoons, whose episodes feature these emotions as the main story line.
Cartoons can also provide a good guidance to the children by introducing certain characteristics that will mould the children to be respectable people in the future. For instance, children learn about determination and tolerance from such cartoons such as ‘ Looney Tunes’ and the power of good over evil in cartoons such as ‘The Power Puff Girls’. They learn about the value of friendship that is seen in most cartoons and this helps them to develop and keep friendships of their own. When children are exposed to characters, who like themselves, are open, likeable, friendly and adventurous, they are more inclined to mimic these characteristics and develop a better sense about the world and what it is like (Rumpf, 2011 ).
Cartoons not only have positive effects but also a few negative ones, which pose a threat for children. One major negative effect is watching cartoon content that is inappropriate for their age. Some cartoons have violence and inappropriate language, which is unhealthy for their growth. The destruction and violence in other cartoons may influence the attitude of kids. As mentioned before, children are easily influenced by what they see and hear and as a result the negative energy in the cartoons makes the kids behave violently towards their peers.
The aggressiveness witnessed in some adults is mostly due to the influence of their childhood experiences and the resulting foundation that they built during their childhood.
Children tend to copy or observe all behavior shown to them by any source (Witt, 2000). With the improvement of technology, more and more cartoons are being created for children today, and because of the hectic nature of the parents’ jobs, most children are left to watch television without supervision. In addition, too much of watching television prevents kids from socializing with other kids their age. For this reason, they end up knowing little about socializing skills and interaction with other people outside their homes. This is a negative factor to their lives since they barely have experience of the knowledge on how to deal with different things in the real world as they come. They tend to apply what they have seen in cartoons to real life situations and fail miserably since cartoons create a false sense of reality. Too much involvement with electronic media can limit social interaction and obstruct the development of a brain’s social systems (Leu, 2004).
There is also the concern for child safety. In most cartoons, the characters do extra-ordinary things and yet do not get hurt. They fall off very high cliffs, get shot or blown apart by dynamite like The Wild Coyote and the Road Runner, yet they remain unharmed. Being susceptible as they are, children often imitate such behaviors, but unlike the cartoon characters, they end up being hurt seriously or in fatal cases, they end up dying. A story is told in London by BBC analyst Carilton Aquilson about a group of 11 year old boys who were re-enacting a show from their favorite cartoon series, where they buried one of their friends in a sand box, expecting the boy to ‘pop up’ from the sand box like the cartoon character did. Unfortunately the boy suffocated and died in the sand box, unable to save himself (Rumpf, 2011 ).
Lastly, increased viewing of television has been linked with lowered academic performance because the television substitutes reading partially because a young brain cannot listen carefully to language when viewing visual characters on the television (Leu, 2004).
Despite all this, cartoons are very good influence to the character and behavior of kids as well as a cure of boredom. Cartoons mostly help the growth of children in all aspects. The few negative influences that seem uncontrollable to parents may be easily turned around to positives through strict monitoring. Researchers show that controlled watching of cartoons is healthy and crucial in the development of a child especially concerning the intelligence, creativity, and imagination of a child. It is therefore very important to provide a healthy environment to children, one without violence and negativity. Curiosity only sets in when something is amiss or does not make any sense to the child and parents should take advantage of this opportunity to explain the reality of life to their children. Most parents prefer telling little white lies to their children in an effort to quell their curiosity but parents should be able to tell their children the truth so that they are not misguided into wrongful behavior that could have been avoided in the first place.
The influence of cartoons can be made positive permanently by a little effort on the parents’ or guardians’ side. They should select appropriate cartoons for the children as well as keeping an eye on the children’s activities. They should also be observant of the children’s behavioral changes and make the necessary adjustments to ensure that the children grow up to be well-rounded and proper individuals in the society.
