The figure above summarizes the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures that favor or oppose glomerular filtration in a healthy person. Imagine a patient is diagnosed with a severe urinary tract infection which has resulted in low systemic BP (hypotension). This has resulted in the hydrostatic pressure of the glomerular capillary (HPc) dropping to 35 mmHg. The osmotic pressure of the glomerular capillary (OPc) is 15 mmHg, and the hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid in the Bowman’s space (HPif) is 20 mmHg. What is the glomerular filtration rate and what effect would it have on filtration?

Which of the following pressures promotes the reabsorption of water as filtrate passes through the nephron loop? 

Exhibit 8.1 USE THE INFORMATION BELOW FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM(S)   Davenport Corporation’s last dividend was $2.70, and the directors expect to maintain the historic 3 percent annual rate of growth. You plan to purchase the stock today because you feel that the growth rate will increase to 5 percent for the next three years and the stock will then reach $25 per share.  Refer to Exhibit 8.1.

A company is going public at $[x] and will use the ticker XYZ. The underwriters will charge a [y] percent spread. The company is issuing [k] million shares, and insiders will continue to hold an additional 40 million shares that will not be part of the IPO. The company will also pay $[o] million in audit fees, $[u] million in legal fees, and $[h]00,000 in printing fees. The stock closes the first day at $[t]. What are the total costs of going public for XYZ as a percentage of the total pre-cost equity value? In calculating the pre-cost equity value, use the closing price of the stock at the end of the first day as the pre-cost equity value. Include underpricing in the calculation of the total costs of the offering. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. Enter the value in percent. For example, 15%, will entered as 15.
