An insulated cylinder fitted with a movable piston to maintain constant pressure initially contains 100 g of ice at -10 C. Heat is supplied to the contents at a constant rate by a 100 W heater. Make a graph showing temperature of the cylinder contents as a function of time starting at t = 0, when the temperature is -10 C and ending when the temperature is 110 C. ( c = 2.0 kJ/ kg K for specific heat of ice from -10 to 0 C and of the steam from 100 to 110 C)

The value of an index on shares is currently at 350. The risk-free interest rate is 8% per year (continuous compound) and the dividend rate of the index is 4% per year (continuous compound).

Calculate the price of the future for a four-month contract. Reply

The value of a futures contract at the moment signed is zero, but at a later time its value can be positive or negative. The value depends on the exercise price and the underlying price according to the expression: f = S − Ke − rT (for assets that do not pay income)

What will be the expression for assets that pay a known dividend rate? f = Answer

If in the previous year the exercise price is K = 450, what is the initial value of the contract? Reply

A tank circuit in a radio transmitter is a series RCL circuit connected to an antenna. The antenna broadcasts radio signals at the resonant frequency of the tank circuit. Suppose that a certain tank circuit in a shortwave radio transmitter has a fixed capacitance of 1.2 x 10-11 F and a variable inductance. If the antenna is intended to broadcast radio signals ranging in frequency from 4.6 MHz to 8.4 MHz, find the (a) minimum and (b) maximum inductance of the tank circuit

You are appointed as a special commissioner on inequality to give policy recommendations to the federal government to reduce wealth and income inequality in the US. Think of one mechanism you might propose to reduce inequality, and tell us about it. Feel free to be creative, think big, and don’t (initially) concern yourself with the political feasibility of the mechanism. After describing it, tell us: Who benefits? Does anyone lose? How is it perceived by different sections of the American public?

Podcessories manufacturers a several accessories for a popular digital music player. The company is trying to decide whether to discontinue one of the items in this product line. Discontinuing the item would save the company $600,000 in fixed costs (comprised of leases on building and machinery) during the coming year. However, the company is anticipating that it might receive an order for 60,000 units from a large discount retailer that could prove to be very profitable. Unfortunately, the company is being forced to make a decision about renewing the leases required to continue this item before it will know if it will receive the large order from the discount retailer. The variable cost per a unit for this item is $6.00. The regular selling price of the item is $12.00 per unit. However, the company has offered the discount retailer a price of $10.50 per unit due to size of its potential order. Podccessories believes there is a 60% chance it will receive the order from the discount retailer. Additionally, it believes general demand for this product (apart from the discount retailer's order) will vary between 45.,000 to 115,000 units with a most likely outcome of 75,000 units. Build a spreadsheet model which can be used for simulation to forecast the total profit of the company.
