Abby runs a printing business and leases a building for which she pays rent of $75,000 per annum. During the year ended 30 June 2020, Abby incurred the following expenses: Painting of the exterior of the building at a cost of $12,000. The original paintwork was peeling and mouldy and did not represent the kind of look Abby wanted for her business. Re-surfacing of the dirt car park with a new non-slip cement to fill in pot-holes and create a safer environment for her customers $8,000 Replace torn awning over the front door for $1,500. The replacement awning was made of the same material as the original awning. Payment of $22,000 for a commercial embroidery machine so that Abby could introduce clothing design and printing into her business. The machine was purchased on 10 February 2020 and installed on 26 February 2020. Advise Abby if the expenses would be deductible with reference to relevant statute or other supporting documents.

Show that electrons in states near the conduction band minimum behave as free electrons with an 'effective mass' m. (Hint: Expand the dispersion relation E(k) locally into a Taylor series)

1. What is the significance of the ecliptic? Why are the sun, the moon, and the planets only found near the ecliptic?
2. What is the difference between a constellation and asterisk? Give two examples of each

Find a linearization at a suitably chosen integer near a at which the given function and its derivative are easy to evaluate.f(x)=7e^(−x), a = −0.1

Set the center of the linearization as x=0.

1. Geologists predict that non-renewable fuel sources like oil will be depleted in the near future due to overuse. Economists tend to disagree with this viewpoint. Explain the logic behind the economist’s viewpoint.

1) List and explain some ways for one to improve their personal cash flow situation by increasing their net cash flows or to reducing their cash flows (if possible) in the near future. Be realistic.

The wastewater treatment plant will also treat wastewater originating from the industrial activity of pulp and paper in the near future. Proposed and describe appropriate unit processes that can be added to the plant.

A parallel plate capacitor is composed of two parallel plates of aluminium foil, each with a surface area of 2.5 m2 that are separated by 2.0 mm The foils are then oppositely charged with 5 mC of charge.

a) what is the electric field between and outside of the capacitor near its middle ?

b) If a dust particle (m = 0.5 ng) picks up 10,000 electrons and finds itself right near the negatively charge plate, what is its KE (in J and eV) after it moves to the positive plate?

c) how long does it take the dust particle to get to the positive plate ?

d) what will its speed be when it gets to the positive plate ?

5. The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities.” (1 points for each)   

1. Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear power plants who die of cancer during a given year. The researchers at the Cancer Institute have considered the null and alternative hypotheses below:

H₀: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities

H_a: p > value for areas without nuclear facilities

According to the spokesperson’s statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following:

Reject H₀                          Fail to reject H₀                                         Reject H_a                          Fail to reject H_a

2. If the National Cancer Institute researchers were incorrect in their conclusion that there is no increased cancer risk associated with living near a nuclear power plant, are they making a Type I or a Type II error? Read carefully and select one of the following:

1. A Type II error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true.
2. A Type I error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be failing to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true.
3. A Type II error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be failing to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is false.
4. A Type I error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is false.
