Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of -4q. Sphere B carries a charge of -5q. Sphere C carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Last, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. For the following questions, express your answers in terms of q.

(a) How much charge ends up on sphere C?

(b) What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other?

(c) What is the total charge on the three spheres after they have touched?

Please answer all three parts if possible and show all steps. Thanks in advance!

The Tasty Sub Shop Case: A business entrepreneur uses simple linear regression analysis to predict the yearly revenue for a potential restaurant site on the basis of the number of residents living near the site. The entrepreneur then uses the prediction to assess the profitability of the potential restaurant site. And The QHIC Case: The marketing department at Quality Home Improvement Center (QHIC) uses simple linear regression analysis to predict home upkeep expenditure on the basis of home value. Predictions of home upkeep expenditures are used to help determine which homes should be sent advertising brochures promoting QHIC’s products and services.

Discuss the difference in the type of prediction in both cases and provide rational of the reasons that these predictions were used.

Be sure to respond to the following:

a) What are the dependent and independent values for each case?

b) What are the r values related to the regression. What do these values tell you?

c) Do the independent measures chosen have face validity?

Review the below described Concentration strategies in the textbook. These are strategies that involve trying to successfully compete only within a single industry. There are three concentration strategies:

• Market penetration involves trying to gain additional share of a company’s existing markets using existing products. Often companies will rely on advertising to attract new customers with existing markets.
• Market development involves taking existing products and trying to sell them within new markets. One way to reach a new market is to enter a new retail channel or geographic areas.
• Product development involves creating new products to serve existing markets.

Select one of these and find an article that describes a company that has successfully used this strategy.   Identify the company and provide an analysis of what the company has done. Also, from your own learning from the class, assess what the company did to make this successful.
