1.Which statement is true about nuclear fission or bombs?
A moderator slows down neutrons to make fission less likely.
The nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in WWII was called Fat Man.  
A moderator slows down neutrons to make fission more likely.
The nuclear bomb in WWII that used ²³⁵U and a gun-type design was called Fat Man.
The maximum amount of fissile material that will sustain a chain reaction is called the critical mass.

Total nuclear power generation: France, U.S., China, South Korea
Percentage of electrical power from nuclear : South Korea, U.S., France, China

Percentage of electrical power from nuclear : U.S., South Korea, France, China
Total nuclear power generation: U.S., France, China, South Korea

TOPIC: The American Revolution

Pick a minority group you want to represent (women, African American, Native American). For your initial posting, take the role of one of these participants in the Revolution. Describe what you are doing to support the American cause and what type of response or reward you hope to receive. Use the material in the readings and video to help you stick to the expectations that were common at the time.

Lab 3-5:

Activity 5-5:  Using Condition Statements                                   10 minutes

Objective: Create a script with if, then, and else statements.

Description: In this activity, you create a shell script that tests whether a file the user specifies exists and uses output and error redirection to do some simple command validation.

NOTE:

If necessary, start a virtual machine in the server mode, and sign-on. This script will determine if a user has sudo permission and then as such can execute the find command and traverse the hierarchy without Permission denied errors.

Make a subdirectory in your home directory and call it scripts (for roots scripts).

1. Using vim, create an empty file named scr5.
2. Switch to extended mode and display the line numbers.
3. Switch to insert mode, and then create a script that performs the following:
4. Sets the environment for the script to bash
5. Documents the following:This script will find a file and display its absolute path on the screen.
6. Informs the user that this is a script that :
   1. This script is for the sudo users only!
   2. AND if the test for sudo access is successful.
7. Test the users sign on to make sure they have sudo access.
8. THEN:
9. Clears the screen.
10. Prompts the user for the file-name to be searched for
11. Sets the reply in a meaningful variable.
12. Uses the find command to find the file and redirects the output of the find command to a file and any errors to a separate error_file.
13. Return to your scripts directory.
14. Create an if-then-else construct that:
    1. Tests if the file exists and has data in it.
    2. If true, inform the user that the file was found AND Where the file is located.
    3. If false, inform the user that the file was not found AND to try again.
    4. Insures the user is placed in the scripts directory when the script ends

Exit insert mode and switch to extended mode.  Save your changes and exit the vimeditor.

Give the owner execute permission to run the script.  Run the script searching for a valid file, like bash.  

What command did you use to run the script?

Answer:____________________________

Explain how you would test the script to make sure it was working.

Create an Op AMP based circuit that converts a 2 Vpp 350 Hz Square wave (Vin) into a 4 Vpp 350 Hz Sine Wave (Vout) that is in phase with the square wave. Show this using Multisim (please attach multisim picture).

Equivalent Units of Conversion Costs The Rolling Department of Kraus Steel Company had 5,747 tons in beginning work in process inventory (60% complete) on October 1. During October, 82,100 tons were completed. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 4,105 tons (30% complete). What are the total equivalent units for conversion costs? Round to the nearest whole unit.

The Rolling Department of Kraus Steel Company had 5,300 tons in beginning work in process inventory (30% complete) on October 1. During October, 87,500 tons were completed. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 4,400 tons (60% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials for October if materials are added at the beginning of the process?

2. Look at the Apple options from below. Suppose you buy an October expiration call option with exercise price $100.

1. If the stock price in October is $105, will you exercise your call? What are the net profit and the rate of return if you exercise the call?  
2. Will you exercise the call if you had bought the October call with exercise price $95?
3. Will you exercise the option if you had bought an October put with exercise price $100?

You have been hired as a project management consultant to assist the Acme Company in evaluating two different project proposals they are considering. Proposal A calls for the construction of a new plant which will require three years to complete and will have much greater capacity than the old plant. Because the plant will have to be built on the current site, the old plant will have to be razed. Proposal B involves the renovation of this plant. This renovation will require two years to complete, but the plant can remain in operation in a reduced capacity during this upgrade. Once the renovation is complete revenue will be increased by 25% per year, however annual maintenance will be 50% higher than Proposal A.

Proposal B: Renovate Existing Plant

        Year1   Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5   Year6 Year7 Year8 Year9 Year10

Revenue 100   100   350     350    350     350    350   350    350    350

Expense 500   500   75      75     75      75     75    75     75      75

Questions:

a.   What is the profit associated with the project carried out in Proposal A? Proposal B?

b.   When does payback occur on the project carried out in Proposal A? Proposal B?

c.   What is the present value of revenue for the project carried out in Proposal A? Proposal B? (In computing present value, do not discount the value for the first year being examined.) (Assume i = 0.10)

d.   What is the present value of expense for the project carried out in Proposal A? Proposal B? (In computing present value, do not discount the value for the first year being examined.) (Assume i = 0.10)

e.   What is net present value for the project described in Proposal A? Proposal B? (In computing present value, do not discount the value for the first year being examined.) (Assume i = 0.10)

f.    What is the internal rate of return for the project described in Proposal A? Proposal B?

g.   Which project would you recommend? Why? What are the merits? What are the risks?
