A corporation owns a chain of several hundred gas stations in the Atlantic provinces. The marketing director wants to test a proposed marketing campaign by running ads on some local radio stations and determining whether gas sales at a randomly selected sample of the company’s stations increase after the advertising. The following data represent gas sales in hundreds of dollars for a day before and two weeks after the advertising campaign.

Station 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Before 485 418 434 422 423 421 446

After 504 424 465 413 418 442 420

(a) Does advertising on local radio stations increase gas sales by more than 5 hundreds of dollars for this corporation in the Atlantic provinces? Conduct appropriate analysis and make your conclusion. Use α = 0.05. (b) What assumptions, if any, need to be met satisfactorily for the inference in (a) to be valid? Are these assumptions reasonably satisfied?

2. Green Manufacturing, Inc., plans to announce that it will issue $2,000,000 of perpetual bonds and use these funds to repurchase equity. The bonds will have a 6-percent coupon rate. Green manufacturing currently is an all-equity firm. The current value of Green’s equity is $10,000,000 and there are 500,000 shares outstanding. After the sale of bonds and share repurchase, Green will maintain the new capital structure indefinitely. Under its current capital structure the expected annual pretax earnings for Green are $1,500,000, and these earnings are expected to remain constant into the foreseeable future. Green is in the 40-percent tax bracket.

  1. What Green’s weighted average cost of capital before the debt issue?
  2. Construct Green’s market-value balance sheet as it looks before the announcement of the debt issue.
  3. Construct the market-value balance sheet after the announcement?
  4. How many shares of stock will Green retire?
  5. Construct the market-value balance sheet after the debt issue and share repurchase are completed.

A 10 L adiabatic container contains 0.1 mol of air, at a temperature of 250 K. It is closed by a stopcock. Ambient air is at 300 K at a pressure of 1 bar. The stopcock is opened for a moment and a certain amount of air penetrates into the container. After thermal equilibrium is reached inside the container, the gas temperature is measured to be 350 K. 1) Assuming that the air behaves as an ideal gas, find the initial pressure in the container, the number of moles of air that penetrated in the container, the sum of the internal energy changes for the gas inside the container and the gas that entered it and the final pressure inside. 2) Find the enthalpy and entropy changes of the gas that is inside the container at the end of the process. Use κ = Cp,mol/CV,mol = 7/5 and Cp,mol − CV,mol = R.

Police inspector advises stubborn teenager caught for repeatedly breaking MCO, challenges him to do well in studies (VIDEO)


Tuesday, 07 Apr 2020 05:58 PM MYT BY ARIF ZIKRI LENGGONG, April 7— A teenager caught multiple times for violating the Movement Control Order (MCO) was schooled by a police inspector after the boy’s mother complained about his stubbornness. Lenggong police station head Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took it upon himself to advise the young man. A video of the conversation between Mohd Ropiza and the 15-year-old boy was recorded and has been circulating on social media platforms since yesterday. In the one minute and 37 second video, Ropiza telling-off the youngster that it was not his first time he had been caught, and ‘offered’ the boy to stay in the lock-up if he required monitoring to comply with the law. Mohd Ropiza then advised the teenager to study hard during the MCO, so he could better himself and help his family, challenging the boy to further his studies into any university. “Study hard, you’re the eldest son in your family, haven’t you thought about that? With no father. The government has asked you to stay at home to read some books. “Study hard until you succeed so that you can help out your family not by doing as you please.” He told the boy to listen to the advice, saying he wanted to see the young man in another five years and to hear that he had succeeded in furthering his studies. “Meet me at Balai Lenggong and tell me when you’ve been accepted into an IPTA, I challenge you,” Ropiza said in the video. The video was recorded in front of the teen’s house and according to the Gerik State Chief of Police, Superintendent Ismail Che Isa, no arrest was made and the inspector was just advising the boy as requested by his mother. Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took time to personally speak to the youngster. — Screenshot courtesy of Facebook/ Polis Diraja Malaysia.

THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2020 KEPALA BATAS:
A group of people violated the movement control order (MCO) when they were caught drinking outside a temple on Thursday (April 9).
Seberang Prai Utara OCPD Asst Comm Noorzainy Mohd Noor said those detained were enjoying their alcoholic beverages at the temple compound near Jalan Kampung Gajah, Butterworth.

Asst Comm Noorzainy said the group of seven, including two women, claimed that they were bored at home and since many shops were closed, they decided to have a chat while drinking outside the temple. Earlier at Bagan Lalang, four teenagers were drinking "air ketum" at a field near Taman Mesra and tried to run away when police approached them in the operation. The teenagers were apprehended by police who had them cornered. Asst Comm Noorzainy said in total, 27 people were arrested for violating the MCO in various parts of the district. He said the operation was conducted by a special task force from the district police headquarters. "Those arrested are aged from 16 to 60," he said. He said from the 27 that were arrested, 23 will be issued compound notices for violating the MCO. All of them were detained under Regulation 11 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Disease Regulations 2020, Section 269 and Section 186 of the Penal Code. - Star
