This isn't a homework but since I can't seem to find any answers for it, I would like to receive some insights from you experts! So, I heard that UK has official left the European Union on Jan 31st (aka Brexit). Are there any trade deals that have been signed? or any negotiations that has been reached? please provide me with some updates I can't seem to find any info on which trade deals were signed and etc.

thanks!

p.s provide me with a link would be great as well. would love to read through in details

a) Explain a foreign currency futures contract and outline the differences between futures and forwards. b) The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the New York Board of Trade (NBOT) operate futures markets in currencies in the following pairs US$/pounds and US Dollar/Pound. The value standardize size of a sterling futures contract is 6,500 pounds. Describe how a UK company that expects to received US$800,000 in three months time can use a futures contract to hedge transaction exposure if the following apply i) Currency spot rate US$ 1.64/pounds - US$1.68pounds ii) Sterling futures price US$1.64/Pounds

On November 1, 2014, the Yankee Corporation, a U.S. corporation, purchased and received an extruding machine from Wales Corporation, a UK company. The purchase price was $10,000 (U.S. dollars) and Yankee agreed to pay in pounds on February 1, 2015. Both corporations are on a calendar year accounting period. Assume that the spot rates for the British pound on November 1, 2014, December 31, 2014, and February 1, 2015, are $1.60, $1.62, and $1.66, respectively.

Required:

Record the November 1, December 31, and February 1 transactions in the General Journals of Yankee Corporation and Wales Corporation. If no entry is required on a particular date, indicate "No entry" in the General Journal.

A block with a mass of 2.5kg lies on a surface that is inclined at an angle of, θ=22 , with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface of the incline is, uk=0.20.

a) Apply Newton’s 2nd Law to determine the acceleration of the block as it slides down the surface.

b) Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the block at the base of the inclined surface if the block starts from rest and moves through a distance of 3.41m from its initial position to the base of the incline.

c) Apply the Work/Energy Theorem to determine the velocity of the block at the base of the inclined surface if the block starts from rest and moves through a distance of 3.41m from its initial position to the base of the incline

Consider the flow of a liquid metal past a flat plate (Pr << 1). We have shown that for a constant wall teemperature, T_o, the Nusselt number is given by Nu = 0.564*(Re^1/2)*(Pr^1/2). Show that if the surface is not a constant temperature, but is instead providing a constant heat flux, that the Nusselt number becomes Nu = 0.886*(Re^1/2)*(Pr^1/2). Start with the following expression for the temperature profile within a semi-infinite body with a constant heat flux boundary condition T - T_o = (q_s / k)[ ((4*alpha*t) / pi)^1/2 * exp(-x^2 / (4*alpha*t)) - x*erfc( x / (4*alpha*t)^1/2 ) ].

A plane wall has thickness of 5 cm, thermal conductivity of 2 W/mK and generates heat. The left face of the wall (x=0) has a surface temp. of 80C and has air at 20C flowing past it with a heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/m^2K. If the right face is insulated then the temperature distribution through the wall has a general format T(x)=A+B*x+C*x^2

(a) Draw a properly labeled diagram (including a representative temperature distribution), state all assumptions and calculate the volumetric energy generation in the wall.

(b) Apply appropriate boundary conditions to determine the coefficients A, B, and C for the temperature distribution through the wall.

(c) Where will the maximum temperature be located in the wall?

1. A company that makes language learning software wants to determine which of two approaches (Method A or Method B) to learning vocabulary would lead to the largest number of recalled words. The company wishes to evaluate the methods on 7 different languages (since languages differ in difficulty). Seven individuals, one per language, were recruited to learn words using Method A, and 7 individuals, one per language, were recruited to learn words using Method B.
   
   Suppose the company wishes to test whether there is a difference in the two methods at the 0.05 level. Which of the following value(s) would correctly mark the boundary of the rejection region? Select all that apply!

   		1.895
   		-2.447
   		2.447
   		-1.96
   		1.96
   		2.365

The temperature , u(x,t), in a metal rod of length L satisfies
          del u/ del t = k del squared u / del x squared limit 0 less than or equal to, x less than or equal to L , t greater than or equal to 0

The ends of the rod at x=0 and x=L , are maintained at a constant temperature T not 0 , so that the boundary conditions are
                u(0, t) =0    u(L, t) = 0
The initial temperature distribution is
      u(x,0) = 4 sin 2 pi x/ L - 6sin (3 pi x/L) +12 sin (5 pi x / L)
Find the temperature, u(x, t).
