Suppose that the utility you receive from buying vegetables (V) and medicine (M) are given by: ???????(?, ?) = 4? ^0.8?^0.2)
a) What is your marginal utility of vegetables and medicine?
b) What is your marginal rate of substitution (vegetables as x good and medicine as y good) between the two?
c) If the price of vegetables is $20, the price of medicine is $15, and income is $120, what is your optimal consumption of V and M? Graphically show your answer.
d) If we start to tax medicine, increasing the price to $20, solve for your new optimal consumption of V and M . Given this utility function, how is your answer “predictable” based on your answer to c?
e) How much utility to you generate from the optimal bundles found in parts (c) and (d)?

1. According to the court, why did Baer lose in Baer v. Chase? If you could go back in time and represent Baer in his dealings with Chase, how would you change things to make sure an enforceable contract was made? Be specific.
2. According to the court, what did Netscape do wrong in failing to make an enforceable clickwrap agreement with Specht in Specht v. Netscape Communications Corporation? Does this ruling mean that no clickwrap agreement can ever create a binding contract? Why or why not? Explain how internet companies (like Apple, Microsoft and Google) structure their contracts, or terms of use agreements, to avoid the "Netscape" problem.
3. Briefly explain the facts of Soldau v. Organon, Inc. Why did the court find in favor of Organon? Explain.

Select the grouping in which all statements are TRUE regarding the rules for naming complexes:
I. The ligands are named in alphabetical order after the metal ion.
II. The isomer (e.g.,cis‐ or trans‐) is included after the listing of the ligands of the complex.
III. The complex [Cr(en)3] 3+ would be named Δ‐ or Λ‐tris(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) depending on the arrangement of the en ligands and the rotation of polarized light.
IV. Cis‐diaminodichloroplatinum(II) and trans‐diaminodichloroplatinum(II) are possible names for Pt(NH3)2 Cl2.
V. The correct name for the complex [Tc(NMe3)6] 3+ is hexa(trimethylamine)technetium(III).

Suppose you have a voltage source V = 120V with an internal resistance RS of 50 ohms, supplying a load of resistance RL . Create a program that outputs a plot of the power PL supplied to the load as a function of the load resistance RL for RL = 1 to 100 ohms in steps of 1 ohm. The power PL is given by the equation PL = I 2RL where I = V/(RS + RL ). Write a function to calculate PL for the inputs RL , RS , V. Do not forget to label the axes with units and to create a title for the plot. · y-axis = Watts · x-axis = Ohms · Title = Load Power vs Load Resistance

A three phase, 60 Hz, 480 V, Y-connected, two-pole synchronous generator has a synchronous reactance of 0.95 Ω per phase. Its armature resistance is negligible. Its combined friction and windage losses are 1.3 kW and its core losses are 0.95 kW. The field current is constant at no-load. Its full load armature current is 55 A at 0.9PF lagging. Assume phase voltage is a reference. Determine following:
a) Its terminal voltage when it is loaded with the rated current at a power factor of 0.9 lagging
b) Its terminal voltage when it is loaded with the rated current at a power factor of 0.9 leading
Hence,
Answer for a (0.9 lagging) should equal VT= 433.59 V
Answer for b (0.9 leading) should equal VT= 512.486 V
