Suppose the equation for the demand curve in a market is PD=100-1.5QD, where QDis the quantity demanded and P is the price. Also, suppose the equation for the supply curve in the same market is PS=0.5QS , where Qs is the quantity supplied. Suppose there is an external cost of $12 associated with the production of each unit of the good.

  1. P=$37; Q=50

  2. P=$25; Q=50

  3. P=$22; Q=44

  4. P=$34; Q=44

Calculate the pH of each of the solutions and the change in pH to 0.01 pH units caused by adding 10.0 mL of 2.81-M HCl to 340. mL of each of the following solutions. Change is defined as final minus initial, so if the pH drops upon mixing the change is negative.

a) water pH before mixing = Correct: Your answer is correct.

pH after mixing= Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

pH change = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

(section 11-6; 11-7 in 3rd edition) A windmill with moment of inertia I is not rotating until a passing eagle grabs on to the top of it with her talons as she flies by.   The "system" of interest is the eagle plus the blades of the windmill. Check all the statements that are true. All angular momentum is to be calculated relative to the center (pivot) of the windmill.

Group of answer choices

There is no angular momentum until the bird and wheel start spinning.

Linear momentum has been converted to angular momentum.

Linear momentum has been absorbed by the Earth.

There is more kinetic energy after the grab than before.

There is less kinetic energy after the grab than before.

There is more angular momentum after the grab than before.

There is less angular momentum after the grab than before.

Bloom Corporation purchased $1,000,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds at par and classifies their investment as AFS. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $600,000 during 2018. Consider each of the following as independent situation. Assume that Bloom Corporation used the AFS Credit Loss Model introduced in ASU 2016 -13 and required after 2020. Bloom now believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses. Bloom does not plan to sell the Taylor bonds prior to maturity, and does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses. Bloom had recorded a temporary unrealized loss (not an OTT impairment) of $100,000 on the Taylor investment. Required: 1. Prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2018, and for each year indicate how the scenario will affect net income, OCI, and comprehensive income. 2. Prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2018. Assume that, Bloom Corporation used the AFS Credit Loss Model introduced in ASU 2016-13 and required after 2020

Information: two typical bonus plans have the following characteristics (both of which require the corporation to calculate the bonus before it determines the income tax.

1.      Bonus is based on Net Income (income statement definition) before taking the bonus

2.      Bonus is based on Net income after deducting bonus and income taxes

FACTS: ABC Corp has net income of $260,000 before deducting the bonus and before any income tax expense. The tax rate is 30%. The bonus rate is 8%.

To do:

1.      Calculate the bonus and income tax if the bonus is computed on income after deducting income taxes, but before deducting the bonus.

2.      Calculate the bonus and income tax if the bonus is computed on net income after deducting both income taxes and the bonus. This one requires modification to the formula to include the tax deduction before calculating the bonus.
