An infinitely long solid insulating cylinder of radius a = 5.6 cm is positioned with its symmetry axis along the z-axis as shown. The cylinder is uniformly charged with a charge density ρ = 25 μC/m3. Concentric with the cylinder is a cylindrical conducting shell of inner radius b = 14.5 cm, and outer radius c = 17.5 cm. The conducting shell has a linear charge density λ = -0.41μC/m.
1. What is V(P) – V(R), the potential difference between points P and R? Point P is located at (x,y) = (42 cm, 42 cm).
2. What is V(c) - V(a), the potentital difference between the outer surface of the conductor and the outer surface of the insulator?
3. Defining the zero of potential to be along the z-axis (x = y = 0), what is the sign of the potential at the surface of the insulator? V(a) < 0 V(a) = 0 V(a) > 0
4. The charge density of the insulating cylinder is now changed to a new value, ρ’ and it is found that the electric field at point P is now zero. What is the value of ρ’?

Ms. V, a wealthy art collector in Country W, is interested in buying a rare painting from Mr. Y in Country Z. Both parties agree that the price is to be determined by an independent appraiser. V informs Y that she will send her agent, X, with a check to collect the painting. V draws a check payable to Y but leaves the amount blank. She gives the check to X and instructs him to deliver it to Y. Without authority, X fills in the amount for $1 million and presents it to Y, who has, in the meantime, received the appraisal. The appraised price is $750,000. X tells Y that Ms. V had made the check out for $1 million to ensure that it will exceed the appraisal price, and that V has instructed X to return with the painting and the difference in cash. Y gives X the painting and $250,000. X delivers the painting but then disappears with the $250,000 in cash. When V discovers what has happened, she stops payment on her check and offers to pay Y $750,000 for the painting. Y insists that V must pay the check's full face value of $1 million. Is Y correct? Why or why not?

Joshua company had the following information in 2016.
Accts Rec 12/31/16.....$15000
Allowance for uncollected account 12/31/16 (before adjustment).....$950
credit service revenue during 2016.....$45000
Cash service revenue during 2016.....$15000
Collections from customers on account during 2016.......$45000
If uncollectible accounts are determined by the aging-of-receivables method to be $ 1 240, the uncollectible account expense for 2016 would be $ 290. Using the aging-of-receivables method, the balance of the Allowance account after the adjusting entry at year-end 2016 would be

The expected return on stock W is 10% and its standard deviation is 15%. Expected return on stock V is 16% and its standard deviation is 24%. The correlation between returns of W and V is 20%.
a) calculate expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio that invests 40% in W and 60% in V.
b) determine the minimum variance combination of W and V and determine its expected return and standard deviation.
c) If the risk-free rate is 4%, determine the tangency portfolio and derive the capital market line equation.
