Crude oil, products and merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of current market value or cost (generally determined under the last-in, first-out method – LIFO). Inventory costs include expenditures and other charges (including depreciation) directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location.

In 2016, 2015 and 2014, net income included losses of $295 million and $186 million, and a gain of $187 million, respectively, attributable to the combined effects of LIFO inventory accumulations and drawdowns. The aggregate replacement cost of inventories was estimated to exceed their LIFO carrying values by $8.1 billion and $4.5 billion at December 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

Crude oil, products and merchandise as of year-end 2016 and 2015 consist of the following:

5.3 If ExxonMobil had used FIFO in 2016, what would be the value of the inventory?

The Banana Republic’s stock of capital at the end of 2015 was $200 billions. The Republic’s investment during the year 2016 was $ 40 billions. The depreciation rate in the Republic was 10%.  

1. Depreciation of the capital during the year 2016 was _______

2. The net investment during the 2016 in the Republic was _______

3. The stock of capital at the end of 2016 was _________

Using the same type of multithreading, I need to create a simple program that generates the factorial of a number, but splits up the calculation in multiple threads.

For instance, 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 so the threads would split the calculation up. Ex: T1 = 5 * 4 * 3 + T2 = 2 * 1

Lab 5: Practice Dilution Problems

You have a stock solution that contains 24 mg/ml of protein. You want to make a set of standards with the following concentrations:

                  8 mg/ml

                  4 mg/ml

                  2 mg/ml

You need a minimum of 300 ul of each standard.

Using the technique of serial dilution, explain how you would make your standards by filling in the chart below.

You have a stock solution that contains 200 mg/ml of protein. You want to make a set of standards with the following concentrations :

                  100 mg/ml   12.50 mg/ml

                  50 mg/ml    6.25 mg/ml

                  25 mg/ml    3.125 mg/ml

You need a minimum of 300 ul of each standard.

Using the technique of serial dilution, explain how you would make your standards by filling in the chart below.

Dilute the following making sure you end up with a minimum volume of at least 10 ml.

Find an important engineering failure that involves some of the topics discussed in MSE 350. Describe the failure, why it occurred, the damage (human, environmental, and economic) and the changes that could have been made in the design to avoid the failure. Was the failure caused by lack of engineering knowledge at the time, engineering error, or management/government error? Discuss!!

For each of the following common items, identify what they are commonly made of, the material type (composite, metal, semiconductor, polymer , ceramic, glass. Describe why that material type is used. Include at least two references for your answers (websites are fine, but try and find good ones). If more than one material type is used in the items, include them all! Be careful to use proper engineering vocabulary when answering this question!

You have been talking to a student from the engineering program at UBC who has also taken up temporary residence at the North Pole in between active semesters of her studies. Because of her engineering background, the elves have given her the nickname “Casey Jones”. Casey scoffs at the α = .05 significance level that psychologists use in their hypothesis testing procedure. She tells you “That means you will, in the long run, make an error one time in twenty. If engineers had an error rate like that think of all the buildings and bridges and such that would be falling down! Why don’t you psychologists be more like engineers and set your error rate to something like one in a million instead of one in twenty?” Explain to Casey Jones why, in the context in which psychologists use it, an alpha level of one in twenty makes more sense than an alpha level of one in a million.

Please an expert is needed to solve Business law case.
