On average, a lightning flash on Earth transfers about 30 C is transferred across 1 GV.
Suppose that, in a single lightning flash, 27.7 C of charge is transferred through a potential difference of 2.44 GV. If all this energy could be used to accelerate a car of mass 1,427 kg car from rest, what speed would the car reach, in m/s?
NOTE: 1000 m/s is 2237 miles per hour!

Explain what happens when a Java program attempts to divide one
integer by another. What happens to the fractional part of the
calculation? How can you avoid that outcome?

1) Blue Ram Brewing Company currently has no debt in its capital structure, but it is considering using some debt and reducing its outstanding equity. The firm’s unlevered beta is 1.15, and its cost of equity is 11.55%. Because the firm has no debt in its capital structure, its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) also equals 11.55%. The risk-free rate of interest (rRFrRF) is 3.5%, and the market risk premium (RPMRPM) is 7%. Blue Ram’s marginal tax rate is 25%.
Blue Ram is examining how different levels of debt will affect its costs of debt and equity, as well as its WACC. The firm has collected the financial information that follows to analyze its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Complete the following table.

F. Pierce Products Inc. is considering changing its capital structure. F. Pierce currently has no debt and no preferred stock, but it would like to add some debt to take advantage of low interest rates and the tax shield. Its investment banker has indicated that the pre-tax cost of debt under various possible capital structures would be as follows:
| Market Debt- to-Value Ratio (wd) |
Market Equity-to-Value Ratio (ws) |
Market Debt- to-Equity Ratio (D/S) |
Before-Tax Cost of Debt (rd) | |
| 0.0 | 1.0 | 0.00 | 7.0% | |
| 0.2 | 0.8 | 0.25 | 8.0 | |
| 0.4 | 0.6 | 0.67 | 10.0 | |
| 0.6 | 0.4 | 1.50 | 12.0 | |
| 0.8 | 0.2 | 4.00 | 15.0 | |
F. Pierce uses the CAPM to estimate its cost of common equity, rs and at the time of the analaysis the risk-free rate is 5%, the market risk premium is 8%, and the company's tax rate is 40%. F. Pierce estimates that its beta now (which is "unlevered" because it currently has no debt) is 1.15. Based on this information, what is the firm's optimal capital structure, and what would be the weighted average cost of capital at the optimal capital structure? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Hydrogen gas is a very useful reagent with many uses in the petroleum, food, and chemical industries. Most hydrogen exists in covalently bonded molecules, and atmospheric air contains less than 1 ppm of diatomic hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen gas is produced on a large scale for these uses, where steam reforming with methane and electrolysis of water are two of the primary methods. The more economic reaction of steam reforming is the reverse of the reaction depicted in Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen - Sample 1 in the Simulation.
Hydrogen has also been considered as an alternative fuel for vehicles designed to combust hydrogen and oxygen, which produces water as a product. However, concerns were raised because methane is typically used on a large scale to produce hydrogen gas. Assume that a gallon of gasoline contains 2400 g of carbon. If a gasoline engine achieves 30 miles per gallon, each mile consumes 80 g of carbon (about 107 g of methane contains 80 g of carbon). Alternatively, a hydrogen engine can achieve 80 miles per kilogram of hydrogen gas.
What is the mass of methane (CH4) needed to produce enough hydrogen gas (H2) to drive one mile using the theoretical hydrogen engine?

A German car will cost $45,000 and have fuel usage of
21mpg for the first 5 years, and decrease
by 1% thereafter to year 8. Repair cost will start at $1000 in year
1 and increase by 4% per year.
It will have a salvage value of $7000 at the end of year 8.
Insurance cost will be $850 the first year,
increasing by 2% per year thereafter.
The American car will cost $35,000 and have fuel usage of 20mpg for
the first 3 years, and will
decrease by 3% per year thereafter. Repair cost will be $800 in
year 1, increasing by 4% per year
thereafter. Being an American, the graduate will price the pride of
owning an American car at $0.4
for every 20 miles driven, increasing by 2% per year. Insurance
cost will be $800 per year
increasing by 2.2% per year. The car can be sold for $5500 at the
end of year 8.
If the graduate anticipates driving 150000 miles by the end of year
8 and the average interest rate
is expected to remain at 5% per year, which car is economically
affordable based on present worth
analysis? Assume fuel cost will be $3 per gallon in year 1 and
increase by an average of 2% per
year. Show all your workings.

Toby wants to calculate her COGS for a fertilizing job
she did last week. She used 40 pounds of fertilizer that she bought
in bulk ($1,000 for 2,000 pounds). It took her employee 1.5 hours
to spread the fertilizer (she is paid $15/hour) with the motorized
spreader. Toby paid $4,000 for the spreader three years ago and it
is estimated to last 10 years or 10,000 pounds. To get to the job
site, a company truck and trailer was used (cost: $40,000 expected
to last 10 years or 200,000 miles, the site visit was 30 miles
round trip). This was the only use of the truck, trailer, and
spreader for that day. Additional employee costs include 10%
payroll tax and $730 per year in worker’s compensation insurance.
You may assume an employee works 2000 hours per year.
Create an Input area in Excel of given information, and do calculations done by formula within Excel (including cell references). Separate and label the parts of the calculation as Direct Material (DM), Direct Labor (DL), or Overhead (OH). Please make two calculations comparing the straight-line depreciation method with the units of production method.
