“In a world that is not perfect but risk neutral, assume that the firm has project worth $100 in the down state, $500 in the up state. The cost of capital for projects is 25%. However, if you could finance it with 50-50 debt, the cash flow rights alone are enough to make the cost of capital a lower 20%. Managers are intransigent and do not want to switch to this new capital structure. You only have $60 of capital and cannot borrow more to take over the firm. What can you do?” I see where this question has been answered before, the document is Finance-7614374.doc, but I can’t seem to open it.

 In a perfect world, research studies would be flawless however, that is not typically the case.  Inherently, flaws exist related to study design, how the study is conducted, and also the manner in which research is reported.  “Given that research is not perfect, users of research must learn to carefully evaluate research reports to determine their worth to practice through critical appraisal” (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015, p. 92-93).  Factors that need to be assessed when critically appraising quantitative studies include validity, reliability and applicability (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015).  

       The validity of a study relates to obtaining results from utilizing sound methods which are scientific.  Bias and confounding variables can compromise validity of a study.  Bias can occur at any stage of the process but while assessing the reliability of the results one must look at if the study was systematic, grounded in theory, and criteria was followed for all of the processes.  If so, then the study, more than likely, is valid and reliable.  Clinicians need the ability to interpret the results so they can implement EBP into their practice (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014).  “Whether we are interpreting the research studies of others, or designing our own, we need a good understanding of research design and an ability to recognize weaknesses in intervention studies which may reduce the reliability of study findings” (Ebbels, 2017, p. 229).      Although each factor is important to quality research, I feel the most important factor is the applicability to practice.  Having the ability to appraise research, which is evidence-based, and implement EBP interventions with our patients is essential in promoting optimal patient outcomes.

“In a certain city, the demand function for crack cocaine is q = 1,000 – p, where p is the street price. The cocaine industry is competitive. Cocaine distributors can buy as much cocaine as they wish at a price of $50 per unit from Colombian sources. Whenever the city narcotics police catch a cocaine dealer, they confiscate all the cocaine that he has. The jails are full so they do not imprison the dealers. The police are able to catch the dealers about half the time, so they get about half the cocaine that enters the city. Instead of destroying confiscated crack, the police simply resell it on the street.If the original supply curve of cocaine on the streets was horizontal, what is the net effect of police activities on the market for crack in this city?Calculate the value for p that prevails before police intervention in the market.Calculate the value for q that prevails before police intervention in the marketCalculate the value for p that will result from police intervention in the market.(Hint: Think about what the police intervention will do to existing sellers – how the intervention affect their revenues.)
