A local real estate investor in Orlando is considering five alternative investments: a day spa, a theater, a restaurant, a motel, or a gift shop. Profits from the day spa, theater, gift shop or restaurant will be affected by the cost of gasoline; profits from the restaurant will be relatively stable under any condition.
The following payoff table shows the profit or loss that could result from each investment.

Mr. Backster is likely to hold the apartment complex of his choice for about 20 years and will use this period for decision-making purposes. Either apartment can be purchased for $180,000. Mr. Backster uses a risk-adjusted discount rate approach when evaluating investments. His scale is related to the coefficient of variation (for other types of investments, he also considers other measures).

A.

The interpretation of b0 has no practical meaning here because it would correspond to the estimated mean weight when a car has 0 gasoline mileage and 0 horsepower.

Assume that both Machining and Assembly work on just two jobs during the month of August: CM-22 and CM-23. Costs are allocated to jobs based on machine-hours in Machining and labor-hours in Assembly. The number of labor- and machine-hours worked in each department are as follows:

Machining Assembly
Job CM-22: Machine-hours 320 60
Labor-hours 50 20
Job CM-23: Machine-hours 40 50
Labor-hours 30 220

Required:
How much of the service department costs allocated to Machining and Assembly in the direct method should be allocated to Job CM-22? How much should be allocated to Job CM-23? (Round "Department rate" to 2 decimal places.)

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle. It is initially not spinning. A small bullet traveling very fast buries itself in one of the balls. In the diagram, m=0.002 kg, v = 400 m/s, M1 = 1.5 kg, M2 = 0.5 kg, R1 = 0.8 m, and R2 = 0.3 m. The axle of the device is at the origin (0,0,0), and the bullet strikes at location (0.247, 0.761,0) m. 


Just after the impact, what is the angular speed of the device? Note that this is an inelastic collision; the system's temperature increases. angular speed (absolute value of the angular velocity) = _______  radians/s

A car wash offers both a regular wash and a deluxe wash for their customers. They track their customers over time and determine that a customer orders the deluxe wash with a probability of 0.3. They also offer air fresheners for their customer for a nominal fee and find that regular wash customers get an air freshener with a probability of 0.45, and deluxe wash customers get an air freshener with probability 0.8. Assume that the car wash only offers the regular and deluxe packages.

a.) What is the probability that a customer gets an air freshener, regardless of the type of wash they ordered?

b.) What is the probability a customer ordered the deluxe package, provided that you know they purchased an air freshener?
