You’ve estimated RR’s kcal needs to be 2300kcals/d.  He is receiving enteral feeds to meet 100% of these needs.  The primary team unilaterally decides to increase the tube feeding to provide 3500kcals/d due to poor wound healing.  What would be an expected consequence to this action and would the respiratory quotient (RQ) increase or decrease?

A firm is considering investing in equipment that will result in savings of $725,000*(useful years of life left/total years) per year {i.e., year 1 savings = $725,000* 9/9, year 2 savings = $725,000*8/9, etc.). The equipment costs $2,330,000 and has no salvage value after its retirement in 9 years. Determine the company’s rate of return.
