The Chocolate Ice Cream Company and the Vanilla Ice Cream Company have agreed to merge and form Fudge Swirl Consolidated. Both companies are exactly alike except that they are located in different towns. The end-of-period value of each firm is determined by the weather, as shown below. There will be no synergy to the merger.
| State | Probability | Value | ||||
| Rainy | .1 | $ | 400,000 | |||
| Warm | .4 | 580,000 | ||||
| Hot | .5 | 1,100,000 | ||||
The weather conditions in each town are independent of those in
the other. Furthermore, each company has an outstanding debt claim
of $580,000. Assume that no premiums are paid in the merger.
a. What are the possible values of the combined company?

b. What are the possible values of
end-of-period debt and stock after the merger? (Leave no
cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Do not

Students performed a procedure similar to Part III of this experiment (Analyzing a Vitamin Supplement for Vitamin C Content) as described in the procedure section. A 1.043g vitamin C tablet is crushed, treated, and diluted to 100.00mL in a volumetric flask with deionized water. Three 5.00mL samples of this solution are titrated with DCP that had a standardized concentration of 9.93x10-4M. The three titrations took an average of 35.52mL of DCP. (MM Ascorbic Acid = 176.124 g/mol)
Calculate the mass (in mg) in the vitamin C tablet. (MM Ascorbic Acid = 176.124 g/mol)

Double bonds react with Br2 to form a dibromide. Isobutylene undergoes cationic polymerization under conditions where chain transfer of a beta proton to monomer is the predominant chain-breaking reaction. A 4.0-g sample of the polymer was found to decolorize 6.0 mL of an 0.01 M solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride. Calculate the number-average molecular weight of the polyisobutylene.
