Many high-end earners such as athletes, entertainers and surgeons have a maximum federal tax rate of up to 40.5% with the Medicare surtax, while entrepreneurs and business executives can often structure their compensation to get capital gains treatment and pay a maximum tax rate virtually half of that at 23.8%. Discuss the equity, risks and opportunities involved in tax planning executive compensation using some the the laws and tools you learned in chapters 5 & 6. Once again label and citations you use and clearly state opinions as such. Alternatively you may discuss tax planning for small business owners and how to best maximize tax savings utilizing the new QBI deduction and managing itemized deductions.

   1. If 1 metric ton elevator is accelerating upwards at 7.0 m/s², Calculate the force of tension in the cable.
   2. If the elevator is accelerating downwards at 7.0 m/s² calculate the force of tension in the cable.
   3. Describe the acceleration that is most likely to break the elevator cable.
   4. Now imagine the elevator is in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factor and it can move in any direction. If the elevator is moving at a speed of 3.5 m/s around a curve with a radius of 18 ft, what will the centripetal acceleration of the elevator be?
   5. What will the centripetal force of the elevator be?
   6. If the radius of the curve and the speed of the elevator both double, what will happen to the centripetal force?

Regents of a large state university proposed a plan to increase student fees in order to build new parking facilities. A news channel claims that over 70% of the students are opposed to the plan. We wish to test this claim. A random sample of 18 students is taken and 17 of them are opposed to the plan.

A- state the null and alternative hypothesis?

B- estimate the population proportions of students that are opposed to the plan?

C- finding the corresponding standard error for the estimate in part to B and use this standard error to provide an interval estimate for the population proportion with 95% confidence?

D-Calculate the test stastic and provide the p-value for testing the hypothesis. show all work?

E- give a one sentence conclusion in the contexet of this problem?

Describe a way in which you use organic compounds in your home or work environment. Choose a compound that is classified as an amide, amine, thiol, carboxylate, and halocarbon. Let’s see how many different examples can be described.

1. The mole fraction of an aqueous solution of calcium sulfate is 0.225. Calculate the molarity (in mol/L) of the calcium sulfate solution, if the density of the solution is 1.05 g mL^-1.

2. Determine the mole fraction of potassium acetate in a 7.19 M aqueous solution of potassium acetate. The density of the solution is 1.30 g mL^-1.
