Compare the two quantities below.
Column A: The number of months in 7 years
Column B: The number of days in 12 weeks
Column A: $7 \text{ years} \times 12 \text{ months/year} = 84$ months.
Column B: $12 \text{ weeks} \times 7 \text{ days/week} = 84$ days.
Both quantities equal 84, so the two quantities are equal.
After-pains (Afterbirth Pains) are cramping uterine contractions experienced after delivery:
Mechanism: During breastfeeding, infant suckling stimulates posterior pituitary to release oxytocin (Ferguson reflex). Oxytocin acts on uterine myometrium → contractions → promotes uterine involution.
\[\text{Suckling} \rightarrow \text{Posterior pituitary} \rightarrow \text{Oxytocin release} \rightarrow \text{Uterine contraction}\]
Key facts:
- More intense in multiparae (uterine muscle more stretched, needs stronger contractions)
- More noticeable during first few days postpartum
- Normal duration: \(2{-}7\,\text{days}\) postpartum
- Management: reassurance, NSAIDs (ibuprofen) if severe (compatible with breastfeeding), warm compress
Uterine involution:
- Immediately after delivery: fundus at umbilicus
- Day 1: \(1\,\text{cm}\) above umbilicus
- Descends \(1{-}2\,\text{cm/day}\)
- By day 10: not palpable abdominally
- Returns to pre-pregnancy size by \(6\,\text{weeks}\)
A firm maintains an allowance for doubtful debts at 5% of trade receivables. This year, trade receivables were $8,000, which represented a 20% decrease from the previous year. How will this change affect the current year's profit?
1. Current Receivables = $8,000. Current Allowance = $8,000 $\times$ 5% = $400.
2. Last Year Receivables = $8,000 / 0.80 = $10,000. Last Year Allowance = $10,000 $\times$ 5% = $500.
3. Change = $500 - $400 = $100 reduction in allowance.
A reduction in allowance is credited to the income statement, thus increasing profit by $100.
