Laypersons are often unaware of the extent to which memory errors (including memory of events that did not occur and memory distortions) are commonplace and widespread. The purpose of this assignment is to make you think of not only memory errors in real life, but also the reasons behind their occurrence. Consider the steps listed below:

• Read the “Adaptive Constructive Processes and the Future of Memory” and “A Range of Memory Possibilities: The Challenge of the false Memory Debate for Clinicians and Researchers” articles, which offer an overview of memory errors and their origins.
• Keep in mind that your textbook is another valuable source of information regarding memory errors.
• Select a case mentioned in a news article where memory errors have been known or can be assumed to have occurred (e.g., eyewitness testimony, instances of recovered memories of traumatic experiences, etc.).
• Describe the main features of the errors, their consequences, and their possible sources (i.e., what are the features of human memory that make the errors possible?).

Engage your critical thinking skills:

• Explain what cognitive psychology suggests that people do to decrease the occurrence of the memory errors that you discuss in your paper. If these errors cannot be avoided, what does cognitive psychology suggest that people do to prevent the often damaging consequences of such errors?
• Note that statements regarding the inaccuracy of human memory, and strategies to decrease the occurrence of errors and their consequences are to be supported by scientific evidence collected by experts. Thus, review the literature on memory errors and use at least two peer-reviewed articles that can answer the questions above.
• Must begin with an introduction to the selected topic in which you define all concepts that will be discussed in the paper.
• Include a brief description of the memory errors featured in the selected news article as well as discussing potential sources and known or likely consequences according to the guidelines described above.
• Include a conclusion expressing your thoughts about how these memory errors can be prevented or reduced, and the extent to which their often dreadful consequences can be minimized. Keep in mind that although your opinion is valuable, it needs to be supported by scientific evidence.

5. Question : (TCO F) Which of the following terms is known as a method of setting prices applicable in many situations, including situations where a single firm or entity must recover fixed costs and can do so by manipulating prices on more than one good? This form of pricing suggests that the most efficient way to recover those fixed costs is to set price levels for the goods such that, when comparing the goods, the good for which consumers are less sensitive to price is priced such that there is a greater difference between price and marginal cost than there is for the good for which consumers are more sensitive to price. The correct answer is_____

 Explain the calculation and interpretation of the cost of capital. In your response, consider how this cost impacts a health care manager’s decision on expansion of services, etc. On two different paragraph give your personal opinion to Daron Newton and  Lawrence Holmes with a total of two pages.

 

Daron Newton 

As we continue to discuss how finances impact the healthcare system. Cost of capital is a strategy that managers will need to conduct when it comes to making investment decisions.  Cost of capital is defined as the cost of opportunity of all capital invested in any organization (Expectations Investing, N.D.). In this online tutorial, it provides the basic steps on how to calculate the cost of capital when it comes to investing.  In relating this article to how this could impact a healthcare organization. Financial managers have to take into account the weight of each capital as it pertains to the organization. According to EI, most capital comes from either debt that a company has or the equity that has been built up within the company (EI, N. D.). 

The second step is the structure of the capital and how it’s positioned out, and the last step is weighing the components of each capital  (EI, N. D.). So for instance, you have a hospital who is looking to expand its services and they are looking to purchase another facility. The manager will have to look at the cost of all the hospitals capital and make the appropriate calculations by using the steps to determine if the risk of the capital makes sense to invest in purchasing another facility. So as you can see, the cost of capital is very important and those decisions must be made wisely or the organization could face potential financial setbacks.

Thanks,

Daron

Like every business cost of capital is the most important part of an organization. The organization looks at the rate at which the organization can raise funds for varied investment activities, like expanding services, products which feeds the demand or improvement to facilities. Management determined through evaluating the different sources which funds are available to a organization like equity funds, debt from a banking institution, debt from the debt market. what we need to lookout for is cost of capital, in other-words calculate the entire organization or a division of the organization or create a new product which fill the needs of the consumer LCG (2012). But when we look at expanding the services, you must look at the decisions management must make. Less take for interest the upper management is looking at expanding the health care department services which provide organizations, he or she needs to evaluate the quantum of funds needs to be invested for proposed expansion as well as the support cost of these funds LCG (2012). How this is accomplish is through evaluating the cash inflows from expansion at the cost of capital and determining if the overall add a positive value to the organization. According to Louis C. Gapenski (2012) ” When actual results fall short of these specified in the budget, managers use variance analysis to identify the areas that caused the sub par performance. In this way managerial resources can be brought to bear on those areas of operations that offer the most promise for financial improvement”.
