Hospital administrator Jake Rosen was recently convicted for fraud he committed against his employer, Cedar Hospital Systems. Over a period of six years, Jake allegedly made payments to a dummy company for maintenance charges while simultaneously running a scheme with maintenance contractors where he either paid them for work never performed or overpaid them for work. The skyscraper where Jake worked was only 10 years old. Maintenance charges rose from $5.2 million in 1994 to $16.4 million in 2000. It was worth noting that the judge on the case questioned whether Cedar Hospital Systems deserved less than full restitution for failing to notice the problem. However, it was determined that federal law on restitution does not allow such charges, so Jake Rosen will be making monthly payments toward the alleged $8 million he stole until he makes full restitution after leaving prison. He was able to quickly repay $3.2 million of the theft with assets recovered by the government, including two homes and a nice yacht. Not bad for a man who was supposed to be making $90,000 per year.
1. In what specific types of fraud was Jake Rosen engaged?
2. The judge questioned whether the hospital should be held partially responsible for not having de- tected the fraud. What could the hospital have done to prevent or detect the fraud earlier?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Employee frauds are one of most common form of frauds which can be detected in a company. There can be many types or forms of employee frauds.  

the major types are:

• Asset Misappropriation

• Bribery and Corruption

• Data theft

• Vendor Fraud

• Payroll Fraud

• Accounting Fraud

2. The hospital could have detected the fraud going on earlier if they had consulted the help of an audit firm this could have helped exposed the fraud earlier.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

960/3. that's 320 a side. They said maximum, I'm guessing they just wanted you to use base times height as if it was a square, since I'm not seeing any other information. the maximum possible area would be, if the sides were 320 each would be 102,400 square feet. Maximum

A washer and a dryer cost $796 combined. The washer cost $54 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of the dryer would be 425$

Step-by-step explanation:

796 - 54 = 742

742 ÷ 2 = 371

371 = washer cost

371 + 54 = 425

425 = dryer price

Answer:  The dryer costs $425

======================================================

Explanation:

w = cost of washer

d = cost of dryer

costs are in dollars

w+d = 796 since the two costs combine to get a total cost of $796

w = d-54 because the washer is $54 cheaper

-------------------------

Let's start with the first equation and plug in the second equation

w+d = 796

(w) + d = 796

(d-54)+d = 796 ... replace w with d-54

d-54+d = 796

2d-54 = 796

2d = 796+54 ... adding 54 to both sides

2d = 850

d = 850/2 ... dividing both sides by 2

d = 425

The dryer costs $425

We can stop here.

-------------

If you want to find the cost of the washer, then,

w = d-54

w = 425-54 .... plug in d = 425

w = 371

The washer costs $371

Note that

w+d = 371+425 = 796

which matches with the total cost we were given. This confirms our answer.

How many solutions exist for the given equation? 3x+13 3(x + 6)+1
zero
one
two
infintely many​

Answers

Answer:

Two solutions.

hope that will help you

Answer:

A. zero

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 13 = 3(x + 6) + 1

step 1. distribute 3 through the parantheses:

3x + 13 = 3(x + 6) + 1

step 2. cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation:

3x + 13 = 3x + 18 + 1

13 = 18 + 1

step 3. add the numbers:

13 = 18 + 1

13 = 19

13 ≠ 19, so there is no solution.

A company has determined that its profit for a product can be described by a linear function.
The profit from the production and sale of 150 units is $455, and the profit from
250 units is $895.
(i) What is the average rate of change of the profit for this product when
between 150 and 250 units are sold?
(ii) Write the equation of the profit function for this product.
(iii) How many units give break-even for this product?
(b) You are the CEO for a lightweight compasses manufacturer. The demand
function for the lightweight compasses is given by p = 40 − 4q
2where q
is the number of lightweight compasses produced in millions.It costs the company $15
to make a lightweight compass.
(i) Write an equation giving profit as a function of the number of lightweight compasses
produced.
(ii) At the moment the company produces 2 million lightweight compasses and makes a profit
of $18,000,000, but you would like to reduce production. What smaller number of
lightweight compasses could the company produce to yield the same profit?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)(i) The average rate of change is:

(895 − 455) / (250 − 150)

4.4

(a)(ii) Since the profit is linear, the slope of the line is equal to the average rate of change.  Using point-slope form:

y − 455 = 4.4 (x − 150)

Simplifying to slope-intercept form:

y − 455 = 4.4x − 660

y = 4.4x − 205

(a)(iii) The break-even point is when the profit is 0.

0 = 4.4x − 205

4.4x = 205

x = 46.6

(b)(i) The "demand function" is the selling pice of the compasses:

p = 40 − 4q²

where p is the price in dollars and q is the quantity in millions of units.

Profit is revenue minus cost.

P = R − C

P = pq − 15q

P = (p − 15) q

P = (25 − 4q²) q

P = 25q − 4q³

where P is the profit in millions of dollars and q is the quantity in millions of units.

(b)(ii) Find values of q when P = 18.

18 = 25q − 4q³

4q³ − 25q + 18 = 0

We know that q=2 is a root of this equation.  Using grouping:

4q³ − 8q² + 8q² − 25q + 18 = 0

4q² (q − 2) + (q − 2) (8q − 9) = 0

(q − 2) (4q² + 8q − 9) = 0

4q² + 8q − 9 = 0

Solve with quadratic formula.

x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

q = [ -8 ± √(8² − 4(4)(-9)) ] / 2(4)

q = (-8 ± √208) / 8

q = (-8 ± 4√13) / 8

q = (-2 ± √13) / 2

Since q is positive, q = (-2 + √13) / 2, or approximately 0.803.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

(2x - 1)² + 2(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

To prove this identity we will take the left hand side of the equation and will prove equal to the right side.

(2x - 1)² + 2(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

4x² - 4x + 1 + 4x - 2 = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

4x² - 1 = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

(2x - 1)(2x + 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1) [Since a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)]

would you expect it to be?

(b) What percentage of horses who compete in the Melbourne

Derby have heights between 60 and 72 inches?

(c) In a particular year there are 25 horses running in the

Melbourne Derby. How many of these would you expect

to have a height of less than 63 inches?

Answers

Answer:

66 inches ;

95.44 ;

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Normal distribution with;

Mean(m) = 66 inches

Standard deviation (s) = 3 inches

A.) If a horse is chosen at random, Expected height will be equal to the mean of the distribution = 66 inches

B.) percentage horses who are between 60 and 72 inches

Zscore = ( x - m) / s

x = 60

Zscore = (60 - 66) / 3

Zscore = - 6/3

= - 2

P(Z < - 2) = 0.0228

Zscore = ( x - m) / s

x = 72

Zscore = (72 - 66) / 3

Zscore = 6/3

= 2

P(Z < 2). = 0.9772

Between 60 and 72

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 95.44

c) In a particular year there are 25 horses running in the Melbourne Derby. How many of these would you expect to have a height of less than 63 inches?

Zscore = ( x - m) / s

x = 63

Zscore = (63 - 66) / 3

Zscore = - 3/3

= - 1

P(Z < - 1) = 0.1587

0.1587 * 25 = 3. 967 = 4

What is the solution (x,y) to the system of equations given? 2 x + 4 y = − 16 2x+4y=−16 2 y − x = = 16 2y−x==16

Answers

Answer:

(-12,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = -16

2y - x = 16

Multiply the bottom part by 2.

2x + 4y = -16

4y - 2x = 32

Add the equations and the answers to the equations up, and they will equal each other.

(2x + 4y) + (4y - 2x) = -16 + 32

8y = 16

y = 2

Plug y = 2 to the 2nd equation.

2*2 - x = 16

4 - x = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-x = 12

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -12

Imagine that you are looking at two stars in the night sky. The second star appears brighter than the first star. Name at least two reasons from the passage that the second star might appear brighter. -please read this to help u ---> After the sun sets, take a look at the night sky. On a clear night, youll be able to see stars scattered across the black expanse that we call our universe. If youre lucky, you might be able to spot some stars that look bigger than othersthey shine brighter and attract our attention more than their smaller neighbors do. You might wonder: why are some stars brighter than others?After much observation, scientists discovered the way stars appear to us depends on more than their actual sizeits also about how far they are from us. Therefore, the farther a star is from Earth, the smaller it will appear to us. The closer it is, the bigger it will look.Try to think of the biggest star youve seen in the sky. An easy one, right? The sun! Thats because the sun is closest to us compared to all other stars, located at just a short 150 million kilometers from Earth.The next one? Thats a tougher question. Many people answer Alpha Centauri, but some dont know that its actually a cluster of three starsAlpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is 4.24 light-years away and closest to our sun. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. We use this measurement because light is the only thing in the universe that maintains a constant speed. However, even though Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the earth after the sun, you can only see it with a very powerful telescope. That doesnt make sensedidnt we just say that closer stars appear larger and more visible?Well, Proxima Centauri is what we call a red dwarf. Red dwarf stars are very small, typically having less than half the mass of the sun. That means they generate less energy than the sun. Most stars burn hydrogen for fuel. Similar to the way a car uses gas for power, a star uses hydrogen for energy. Red dwarfs burn hydrogen very slowly, which means they generate little light compared to stars like the sun.Proxima Centauri is the closest star after the sun, but that doesnt necessarily mean its what we consider close in our minds. To completely understand how far away this star is, lets think about traveling 4.24 light-years away. NASA has built one of the fastest spacecrafts in existence, called New Horizons, which travels at about 60,000 kilometers per hour. Even at this speed, it would take the spacecraft 78,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri from Earth.Sadly, the first few closest stars are not visible to the naked eye at night, which means we cant see them while were stargazing from our homes or backyards. The closest star we can see at night is called Sirius, or the Dog Star. While Proxima Centauri is only 4.24 light-years away, Sirius is 8.6 light-years away. However, since Sirius is so large (almost twice the size of the sun), we can see it in the night sky.So go outside and see what you can find up there! From who did Muhammad learn about Christianity?
