A concentration cell is built based on the following half reactions by using two pieces of gold as electrodes, two Au3+ solutions, 0.101 M and 0.423 M, and all other materials needed for a galvanic cell. What will the potential of this cell be when the cathode concentration of Au3+ has changed by 0.035 M at 307 K?

Au3+ + 3 e- → Au Eo = 1.50 V

A concentration cell is built based on the following half reactions by using two pieces of copper as electrodes, two Cu2+ solutions, 0.145 M and 0.405 M, and all other materials needed for a galvanic cell. What will the potential of this cell be when the cathode concentration of Cu2+ has changed by 0.031 M at 279 K? Cu2+ + 2 e- → Cu Eo = 0.341 V

1c.Explain two potential errors that can dramatically impact the results of your DCF valuation and how you might approach minimizing errors.

A developer wants to know if the houses in two different neighborhoods were built at roughly the same time. She takes a random sample of six houses from each neighborhood and finds their ages from local records. The accompanying table shows the data for each sample​ (in years). Assume that the data come from a distribution that is Normally distributed. Complete parts a through c below.

Find a 95​% confidence interval using the pooled degrees of freedom.

A 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in ages of houses in the two neighborhoods was (__,__).

Is this result different from the result of the​ pooled-t confidence​ interval? Explain why or why not.

R has a number of datasets built in. One such dataset is called mtcars. This data set contains fuel consumption and 10 aspects of automobile design and performance for 32 automobiles (1973-74 models) as reported in a 1974 issue of Motor Trend Magazine.

We do not have to read in these built-in datasets. We can just attach the variables by using the code

        attach(mtcars)

We can just type in mtcars and see the entire dataset. We can see the variable names by using the command

The variables are defined as follows:

mpg Miles/(US) gallon

cyl Number of cylinders

disp Displacement (cu.in.)

hp Gross horsepower

drat Rear

axle ratio

wt Weight (lb/1000)

qsec 1/4 mile time

vs V/S (“V” engine or “Straight line”) (0 or V, 1 for S)

am Transmission (0 = automatic, 1 = manual)
gear Number of forward gears
carb Number of carburetors

We want to model mpg by some or all of the other 10 variables . Do a complete regression analysis. Be sure to comment for each thing you do.

Suppose a prototype for a car was in development. This car has 6 cylinders, 250 cubic in. engine, 130 horsepower, a rear axle ratio of 3.8, weighs 2750 pounds, has a 1/4 mile time of 15.9 seconds, is a V engine type, has automatic transmission, 5 forward gears, and 6 carburetors. With 90% confidence, what is an interval estimate for the predicted mpg for this car?

Singer inc is about to start a 4 year project. A new plant will be built. The plant will require an amount of 40 million to acquire new fixed assets that will be depreciated straight-line through the life of the project. The company also possesses a building that it bought for 5 million and has a net book value of 0. Todays market value for the building is 4.1 million while it can be rented for 220,000 yearly. The company wants to situate its new plant in this building.

The following are todays market data for singer (before the project starts).

- debt: 240,000,000. Interest rate 7,5. Debt is constant

-Common stocks: 9,500,000 shares outstanding. Stock price 63.

-The levered equity beta i 1.2.

-Market 8% expected market risk premium.

-risk free rate: 5%

JP Simon Bank charges singer 1040000 as an underwriter fee on new common stock issues. Singer will raise the funds needed for the project by only issuing stock. The tax rate is 35%. The project will be managed in total separation for the others operations of the firm.

A) Calculate the new projects initial (time 0) cashflow

B) The new project has a risk profile comparable with the riskiness of its assets in place. What is the appropriate opportunity cost of capital for the project=

The Company will incur 4,000,000 in SG&A. The plant will manufacture 20,000 wigets p/year and sell them for 6,900 each. The unit production is 5,400.

C) What is the annual after-tax cashflow from the new project at the end of each of the four years

D) Assuming that the depreciation tax shield is as risky as the company's debt. what is the projects NPV?

9.    Bo was the owner of Lot No. 1 on which he had built his home. Sadia owned the adjoining Lots No. 2 and 3, which were undeveloped, along with Lot No. 4 on which Sadia’s home was located. Bo wished to acquire Lot No. 2 in order to protect his home site from crowding if Lot No. 2 should be sold to a stranger.
Meeting Sadia on the street on January 2, Bo explained his wish to acquire Lot No. 2 and offered to buy it from Sadia for $75,000 cash. Sadia agreed and promised to deliver a deed to Lot No. 2 in 4 weeks. Bo paid Sadia $1,000 as a deposit or down payment towards the purchase price of $75.000.
On February 1, Sadia told Bo that she had changed her mind. Bo demands that Sadia perform the contract. Sadia contends that if there is any contract, it is unenforceable.
(a) [Skip part (a). We will discuss in class].
(b) In an action by Bo against Sadia for breach of contract, judgment for whom? Explain.
   [Skip parts (c) and (d). We will discuss in class.]   
(e) Assume that in addition to the [$1,000] payment, Bo, with Sadia’s knowledge and consent, entered on Lot No. 2 and had it cleared of brush on January 20 at a cost of $150, but Sadia still refused to convey. Would Bo be entitled to obtain a decree of specific performance to compel Sadia to deliver a deed to Lot No. 2 to Bo upon paying to Sadia the balance of $74,000? Explain. [We will discuss a “decree of specific performance” in class. You may assume that it means a “judgment.”]
[Skip parts (f) and (g).]

10.     Assume that in the preceding problem Sadia had sent to Bo a receipt for the $1,000 reading as follows:
“January 11. Received from Bo $1,000 on account of $75,000 purchase price of Lot No. 2 at 27 Y Street, Albans, NY Closing in 4 weeks. (Signed) Sadia.”
(a) Would Bo be entitled to a decree of specific performance against Sadia? Explain.   
(b) Assume that Sadia is willing to perform, but that Bo refuses. Would Sadia be entitled to damages against Bo? Explain.
