Bo was the owner of Lot No. 1 on which he had built his home. Sadia owned the adjoiningLots No. 2 and 3, which were undeveloped, along with Lot No. 4 on which Sadia’shome was located. Bo wished to acquire Lot No. 2 in order to protect his home sitefrom crowding if Lot No. 2 should be sold to a stranger.Meeting Sadia on the street on January 2, Bo explained his wish to acquire LotNo. 2 and offered to buy it from Sadia for $75,000 cash. Sadia agreed and promised todeliver a deed to Lot No. 2 in 4 weeks. Bo paid Sadia $1,000 as a deposit or downpayment towards the purchase price of $75.000.On February 1, Sadia told Bo that she had changed her mind. Bo demands thatSadia perform the contract. Sadia contends that if there is any contract, it is unenforceable.

(a) Was there an offer and acceptance sufficient to constitute a contract between Sadiaand Bo? Explain.

b) In an action by Bo against Sadia for breach of contract, judgment for whom? Explain.

(c) Assume that on January 10, Bo sent to Sadia his check for $1,000 bearing thenotation “On account of purchase price of Lot No. 2” and that Sadia cashed the check,but later refused to convey Lot No. 2. Would Bo’s payment constitute sufficient part performanceto enable Bo to enforce the contract against Sadia? Explain.

(d) If the contract is not enforceable, may Bo recover his $1,000? Explain.

(e) Assume that in addition to the payment, Bo, with Sadia’s knowledge and consent,entered on Lot No. 2 and had it cleared of brush on January 20 at a cost of $150,but Sadia still refused to convey. Would Bo be entitled to obtain a decree of specific performanceto compel Sadia to deliver a deed to Lot. No. 2 to Bo upon paying to Sadia thebalance of $74,000? Explain.

(f) Would Bo be entitled to recover his $1,000 payment plus the $150 cost of clearingthe land? Explain.

(g) Assume that on March 1. Bo instituted a suit for specific performance and thatSadia denied she had agreed to sell. At the trial, the court decided that Bo was tellingthe truth and ordered Sadia to execute and deliver to Bo a deed to Lot. No. 2 upon Bopaying the balance of $74,000. Is Sadia entitled to have the decision reversed on appeal,if on the appeal Sadia raises for the first time the defense that her agreement wasnot in a writing signed by the party to be charged? Explain.

1) A rectangular window is built with 12 meters of framing materials. What must the dimensions of the window be to let in the most light? Use calculus to solve

2) What are the dimensions of an aluminum can that holds 40 cubic inches of juice and that uses the least material? The can is cylindrical and capped on both ends. Use calculus to solve

Why is redundancy built in the DNA code? Can a triplet codon for more than one amino acid or can amino acids be synthesized by more than one triplet of codons? How many codons code for 20 amino acids?

Why does mRNA have to be processed in eukaryotes and what does involve?

What translates the DNA message and how? Explain what tRNA does. How is it possible to have 45 tRNA but 61 mRNA to code for the same amino acids?

Explain how a ribosome works to generate a protein. Be sure to start with 2 ribosomal subunits coming together, and include the A,P,E sites in your explanation.

The State of DeNile built a new toll road 3 years ago for $900 million. The state can charge tolls on the road for the next 20 years and expects to spend $3 million per year on maintenance and toll collection. Toll revenue is expected to be $80 million per year. The state has recently received an offer from the Otto Corporation to lease the road for 20 years. The company will pay DeNile $1 billion and will receive exclusive rights to collect and keep the tolls. Otto Corp will also be responsible for all maintenance and other expenses. The state can invest its money at 6% annual return. Should the state take this offer? Why or why not?

A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.55 L/s, with an output pressure of 2.95 × 105 N/m2.

A. The water enters a hose with a 2.8 cm inside diameter and rises 2.2 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point N/m2? You may neglect frictional losses.

B. The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.65 m in height, and widens to 4.6 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now in N/m2? You may neglect frictional losses.

This case is based on an actual situation. Centennial Construction Company, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, built a Rodeway Motel 35 miles north of Dallas. The construction foreman, whose name was Slim Chance, hired the 40 workers needed to complete the project. Slim had the construction workers fill out the necessary tax forms, and he sent their documents to the home office.Work on the motel began on April 1 and ended September 1. Each week, Slim filled out a timecard of hours worked by each employee during the week. Slim faxed the timecards to the home office, which prepared the payroll checks on Friday morning. Slim drove to the home office on Friday, picked up the payroll checks, and returned to the construction site. At 5 p.m. on Friday, Slim distributed payroll checks to the workers.Requirements1. Describe in detail the main internal control weakness in this situation. Specify what negative result(s) could occur because of the internal control weakness.

1.If an inverting voltage amplifier with a large gain were built to amplify a small sinusoidal
signal and the output waveform was observed to be sinusoidal but with a much lower
amplitude than predicted by a theoretical analysis assuming an ideal operational amplifier,
what non ideal property of the operational amplifier would be likely contributing to this
degradation in performance?

warpbreaks is a built-in R dataset which gives This data set gives the number of warp breaks per loom, where a loom corresponds to a fixed length of yarn. We are interested in some descriptive statistics related to the warpbreaks dataset. We can access this data directly and convert the time series into a vector by using the assignment x <- warpbreaks$breaks. (In R, use ? warpbreaks for info on this dataset.) The values of x if assigned as above are:


[1] 26 30 54 25 70 52 51 26 67 18 21 29 17 12 18 35 30 36 36 21 24 18 10 43 28 15
[27] 26 27 14 29 19 29 31 41 20 44 42 26 19 16 39 28 21 39 29 20 21 24 17 13 15 15
[53] 16 28

You should get these values from the R assignment rather than manually copying.
