A spherical raindrop 2.1 mm in diameter falls through a vertical
distance of 3650 m. Take the cross-sectional area of a raindrop =
πr2, drag coefficient = 0.45, density of water to be 1000 kg/m3,
and density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3.
(a) Calculate the speed a spherical raindrop would achieve falling
from 3650 m in the absence of air drag.
(b) What would its speed be at the end of 3650 m when there is air
drag? (Note that the raindrop will reach terminal velocity after
falling about 30 m.)

Cook Farm Supply Company manufactures and sells a pesticide
called Snare. The following data are available for preparing
budgets for Snare for the first 2 quarters of 2020.
| 1. | Sales: quarter 1, 28,600 bags; quarter 2, 42,600 bags. Selling price is $62 per bag. | |
| 2. | Direct materials: each bag of Snare requires 4 pounds of Gumm at a cost of $3.80 per pound and 6 pounds of Tarr at $1.50 per pound. | |
| 3. | Desired inventory levels: |
|
Type of Inventory |
January 1 |
April 1 |
July 1 |
|||
| Snare (bags) | 8,100 | 12,400 | 18,500 | |||
| Gumm (pounds) | 9,100 | 10,300 | 13,200 | |||
| Tarr (pounds) | 14,300 | 20,300 | 25,500 |
| 4. | Direct labor: direct labor time is 15 minutes per bag at an hourly rate of $16 per hour. | |
| 5. | Selling and administrative expenses are expected to be 15% of sales plus $177,000 per quarter. | |
| 6. | Interest expense is $100,000. | |
| 7. | Income taxes are expected to be 30% of income before income taxes. |
Your assistant has prepared two budgets: (1) the manufacturing
overhead budget shows expected costs to be 125% of direct labor
cost, and (2) the direct materials budget for Tarr shows the cost
of Tarr purchases to be $299,000 in quarter 1 and $425,500 in
quarter 2.

Design a mix for a 3,000 psi concrete to be used in an indoor basement slab. Your gravel is an ASTM C33C #57 stone. Your fine aggregate grades as follows: No. 4 – 3%, No. 8 – 7%, No. 16 – 20%, No. 30 – 25%, No. 50 – 20%, No. 100 – 15%, Pan – 10%.
What is your mix and list out what you can do to make a durable mix that is economically competitive? How would you adjust the workability of the mix?

Many companies incurred costs related to Covid-19 in the second quarter of 2020. In their 2nd quarter earnings announcements, many of them reported non-GAAP earnings that exclude costs related to Covid-19. Which of the following is more likely to be true?
a). Firms can disclose non-GAAP earnings that exclude costs related to Covid-19 from GAAP-based earnings as long as they provide reconciliation between non-GAAP earnings and GAAP earnings
b). The SEC does not allow firms to disclose non-GAAP earnings that exclude costs related to Covid-19 from GAAP-based earnings
c). Non-GAAP earnings that excludes costs related to Covid-19 from GAAP-based earnings always unfaithfully represent the true economic performance of a firm because costs related to Covid-19 are most likely recurring
d). Non-GAAP earnings that excludes costs related to Covid-19 from GAAP-based earnings always provide relevant information to financial statement users because costs related to Covid-19 are most likely one-time
