Looking to compare, thanks.

A) Allocate the two support departments' costs to the two operating departments using the following methods?

Direct Method
Step-down method (Allocate AS first)
Step -down method (Allocate IS first)

B) Compare and Explain differences in the support department costs allocated to each operating department?

C) What approaches might be used to decide the sequence in which to allocate support departments when using the step-down method?

Problem #7

Suppose we are deciding between two alternative investments for the coming year. The first investment is a mutual fund that consists of shares which do well when economy is strong. The second investment is a mutual fund that consists of shares that do well when economy is weak. Your estimate of returns per each investment is provided below with a probability of their occurrence. Calculate the correlation between these mutual funds and interpret.

The reaction

                                    NO(g) + O₃ -> NO₂(g) + O₂(g)

was studied in 2 experiments under pseudo-first order conditions.

a) [O₃] = 1x10¹⁴ molecules/cc in excess

the [NO] varied as follows   {Note, time is in msec (1 msec = 1x10^-3 s)!}

            time (msec)                 NO (molecules/cc)

                        0                      6x10⁸  

                        100                  5x10⁸  

                        500                  2.4x10⁸

                        700                  1.7x10⁸

                        1000                9.9x10⁷

b) [NO] = 2x10¹⁴ molecules/cc in excess     

            time (msec)                 O₃ (molecules/cc)

                        0                      1x10¹⁰

                        50                    8.4x10⁹           

                        100                  7x10⁹

                        200                  4.9x10⁹

                        300                  3.4x10⁹

a) what is the order of reaction with respect to NO?

b) what is the order of reaction with respect to O_3?

c) what is the overall rate law?

d) what is the pseudo-first order rate from experiment a); what overall rate coefficient does this give? (overall rate should be in cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1.)

e) what is the pseudo-first order rate from experiment b); what overall rate coefficient does this give?

Using the constant annual effective rate 2.3443% , determine the accumulated amount in your account from 1st january 2011 to 31 December 2020 (ten years in total) according to the following deposit patterns. i) Deposit $1,000 at the start of every month. ii) Deposit $1,000 at the start of the first month and keeps increasing by $100 in the subsequent months until the monthly deposit achieves $3,000, then remains at $3,000 in all the following months. iii) Deposit $3,000 at the start of the first month and keeps decreasing by $100 in the subsequent months until the monthly deposit achieves $1,000, then remains at $1,000 in all the following months. iv) Deposit $1,000 monthly (at the start of each month) in year 2011, $1100 monthly in year 2012, $1200 monthly in year 2013, ……, and $1,900 monthly in year 2020. v) Deposit $1,000 monthly (at the start of each month) in the first five years, and deposits $2,000 monthly in the second five years.

Consider the same 3 year bond with a $100 par value and a 5% annual coupon where comparable bonds are yielding 6% (assume continuous compounding). If the yield goes up 1%, then according to the duration formula for a bond's price change, the bond price will change by: (Present decreases as negative values, increases as positive values)

Assume you establish a protective put position on OVTI stock today by buying 100 shares of OVTI stock at $30 per share and buying a 6-month put option contract on the same stock. Each put option has a strike price of $30 and a premium of $2.50. What is the breakeven stock price for this strategy?

You want to finance the purchase of a home with a first and second mortgage sothat you can put less money down. The purchase price of the property is$324,000. Financing on the first without a second at 80% LTV has a rate of 4.5%,30 year term. Financing on the second mortgage, which covers 10% of thepurchase price has a rate of 6.25%, 15 year term. How much will your combinedmortgage payment be?

Sarah is thinking about purchasing an investment from HiBond Investing. If she buys the investment, Sarah will receive $100 every two months for five years. The first $100 payment will be made as soon as she purchases the investment. If Sarah's required rate of return is 16 percent per year, to the nearest dollar, how much should she be willing to pay for this investment? Select one: a. $1,359 b. $1,519 c. $2,102 d. $2,047 e. $1,413
