Jeb and Josh are lifelong friends. Jeb is a wealthy wind-power tycoon, and Josh is an active outdoor enthusiast. They have decided to open a sporting goods store, Arcadia Sports, using Jeb’s considerable financial resources and Josh’s extensive knowledge of all things outdoors. In addition to selling sporting goods, the store will provide whitewater rafting, rock-climbing, and camping excursions. Jeb will not participate in the day-to-day operations of the store or in the excursions. Both Jeb and Josh have agreed to split the profits down the middle. On the first whitewater rafting excursion, a customer named Jane falls off the raft and suffers a severe concussion and permanent damage to her spine. Meanwhile, Jeb’s wind farms are shut down by government regulators, and he goes bankrupt, leaving extensive personal creditors looking to collect. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: A. Identify the main types of business entities and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. B. Recommend a specific business entity for Arcadia Sports and include your reasoning. C. Based on the characteristics of each type of business entity, determine the type under which Jeb and Josh would be personally liable to Jane for damages. D. Based on each type of business entity, analyze the ability of Jeb’s personal creditors to seize the assets and/or profits of Arcadia Sports.

Individual assessment

For this exercise, round all regression parameters to three decimal places.

Characteristics of traffic flow include density D, which is the number of cars per mile, and average speed s in miles per hour. Traffic system engineers have investigated several methods for relating density to average speed. One study† considered traffic flow in the north tube of the Lincoln Tunnel and fitted an exponential function to observed data. Those data are partially presented in the table below.

(a) Make an approximate exponential model of D as a function of s.
D(s) =

(b) Express using functional notation the density of traffic flow when the average speed is 24 miles per hour.
D

Calculate that density. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
cars/mi

(c) If average speed increases by 1 mile per hour, what can be said about density? (Round your answer to one decimal places.)

The density D decreases by  %.

Currently a company that designs Web sites has five customers in its backlog. The time since the order​ arrived, processing​ time, and promised due dates are given in the following table. The customers are ready to be scheduled​ today, which is the start of day

190.

a. Develop separate schedules by using the FCFS and EDD rules. Compare the schedules on the basis of average flow time and average days past due.

Using the FCFS​ (first come, first​ served) decision rule for sequencing the​ customers, the order​ is:

Using the EDD​ (earliest due​ date) decision rule for sequencing the​ customers, the order is​ (to resolve a​ tie, use the order in which the jobs were​ received):

The average flow time and average days past due for each option​ are: ​(Enter your responses rounded to one decimal​ place.)
