The automobile fuel called E85 consists of 85 % ethanol and 15 % gasoline. E85 can be used in so-called "flex-fuel" vehicles (FFVs), which can use gasoline, ethanol, or a mix as fuels. Assume that gasoline consists of a mixture of octanes (different isomers of C8H18), that the average heat of combustion of C8H18(l) is 5400 kJ/mol, and that gasoline has an average density of 0.70 g/mL. The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/mL.

For Part A, start with the given L of gasoline and use the density of the gasoline as well as the molar mass of  C8H18 to determine the moles of gasoline. Once you have found the moles of gasoline you will use the provided heat of combustion to determine the energy produced. You do not need to use Appendix C because you are using the provided heat of combustion.

For Part B, do the same with the ethanol. You will use the heat of combustion for ethanol from the extra credit homework problem 5.79. If you did not do the that homework problem, you will need to write the balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol paying attention to the phases. Use the phase of gas for the water. Then calculate the heat of the combustion reaction from the heats of formation in Table C.

For Part C, you will need to use a weighted average. This is the same formula we used to determine the average atomic mass.

For Part D, you are starting with the given gallons of gasoline and will need to use the heat of combustion produced for the given liters of gasoline as a conversion factor to determine the energy produced from the given gallons. The heat of combustion produced from the liters of gasoline is from Part A. Now take the energy produced from the gallons of gas and use that as the given. Using the heat of combustion produced for the liters of E85 from Part C, determine the gallons of E85 necessary to produce that much energy.

For Part E, you will use the gallons of gasoline

A)By using the information given as well as data in Appendix C, calculate the energy produced by combustion of 2.0 L of gasoline

B)By using the information given as well as data in Appendix C, compare the energy produced by combustion of 2.0 L of ethanol. Consider that water is in the gaseous state.

c)Assume that the density and heat of combustion of E85 can be obtained by using 85 % of the values for ethanol and 15 % of the values for gasoline. How much energy could be released by the combustion of 2.0 L of E85?

E)If gasoline costs $ 3.10 per gallon in the United States, what is the break-even price per gallon of E85 if the same amount of energy is to be delivered?

  1. Note: This problem is for the 2018 tax year.

Devon Bishop, age 45, is single. He lives at 1507 Rose Lane, Albuquerque, NM 87131. His Social Security number is 111-11-1112. Devon does not want $3 to go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund.

Devon's wife, Ariane, passed away in 2014. Devon's son, Tom, who is age 18, resides with Devon. Tom's Social Security number is 123-45-6788.

Devon owns a sole proprietorship for which he uses the accrual method of accounting and maintains no inventory. His revenues and expenses for 2018 are as follows:

Sales revenue

$740,000

Cost of goods sold (based on purchases for the year)

405,000

Salary expense

88,000

Rent expense

30,000

Utilities

8,000

Telephone

6,500

Advertising

4,000

Bad debts

5,000

Depreciation*

21,000

Health insurance**

26,000

Accounting and legal fees

7,000

Supplies

1,000

*New office equipment ($21,000); Devon uses the immediate expense election.

** $18,000 for employees and $8,000 for Devon.

Other income received by Devon includes the following:

Dividend income (qualified dividends):

  Swan, Inc.

$10,000

  Wren, Inc.

2,000

Interest income:

  First National Bank

11,000

  Second City Bank

During the year, Devon and his sole proprietorship had the following property transactions:

  1. Sold Blue, Inc. stock for $45,000 on March 12, 2018. He had purchased the stock on September 5, 2015, for $50,000.
  2. Received an inheritance of $300,000 from his uncle, Henry. Devon used $200,000 to purchase Green, Inc. stock on May 15, 2018, and invested $100,000 in Gold, Inc. stock on May 30, 2018.
  3. Received Orange, Inc. stock worth $9,500 as a gift from his aunt, Jane, on June 17, 2018. Her adjusted basis for the stock was $5,000. No gift taxes were paid on the transfer. Jane had purchased the stock on April 1, 2012. Devon sold the stock on July 1, 2018, for $22,000.
  4. On July 15, 2018, Devon sold one-half of the Green, Inc. stock for $40,000.
  5. Devon was notified on August 1, 2018, that Yellow, Inc. stock he purchased from a colleague on September 1, 2017, for $52,500 had become worthless. While he perceived that the investment was risky, he did not anticipate that the corporation would declare bankruptcy.
  6. On August 15, 2018, Devon received a parcel of land in Phoenix worth $220,000 in exchange for a parcel of land he owned in Tucson. Because the Tucson parcel was worth $245,000, he also received $25,000 cash. Devon's adjusted basis for the Tucson parcel was $210,000. He originally purchased it on September 18, 2015.
  7. On December 1, 2018, Devon sold the condominium in which he had been living for the past 20 years (1844 Lighthouse Lane, Albuquerque, NM 87131) and moved into a rented townhouse. The sales price was $480,000, selling expenses were $28,500, and repair expenses related to the sale were $9,400. Devon purchased the condominium for $180,000.

Devon's potential itemized deductions, exclusive of the aforementioned information, are as follows:

Medical expenses (before the 7.5% floor)

$9,500

Property taxes on residence

5,800

State income taxes

4,000

Charitable contributions

10,000

Mortgage interest on residence (First National Bank)

9,900

Sales taxes paid

During the year, Devon makes estimated Federal income tax payments of $35,000.

Required:

Compute Devon's lowest net tax payable or refund due for 2018 by providing the information requested for Forms 1040, 4562, 8824, and 8949 as well as Schedules A, B, D, SE. Assume that he makes any available elections that will reduce the tax.

  • Make realistic assumptions about any missing data.
  • If an amount is zero, enter "0".
  • Enter all amounts as positive numbers.
  • It may be necessary to provide information regarding the other schedules and forms before completing the requested information for Form 1040.
  • Devon's qualified dividends and capital gains rate is 15%.

When computing the tax liability, do not round your immediate calculations. If required round your final answers to the nearest dollar.

It is alleged that markets fail, in some situations, to insure a fair price and thereby limit consumers' freedom. Which statement does not support that allegation?

business ethics

Monopolistic pricing limits the variety of products available to consumers.
Sellers extract extraordinarily high prices in situations where consumers have few options for obtaining a needed product.
From the utilitarian perspective, consumers are always benefited by low prices and balancing the benefits to buyers from low prices with the benefits to sellers of high prices is the only ethical pricing issue.
The more uniformity of prices one finds within an industry, the less likely it is that competition exists.
