Some NH4I is palced in a reaction placed in a closed container, which is then heated to 400 deg. C. If the total pressure in the container is (7.47x10^2) , mm Hg, what is the value of Kp. Remember to convert the pressures to atm's.

Assume that the DJIA closed at 10,875 one day recently, and the
divisor was .12493117.
a. What is the sum of the prices of the 30 stocks in the index,
given this information?
b. Assume that one stock in the index, Pfizer, moved $4.40 that
day, while the index itself
moved about 105 points (to close at 10,875). What percentage of the
total movement in
the DJIA that day was accounted for by the movement in
Pfizer?
c. Now assume that one of the 30 stocks had a 2-for-1 stock split
that day, declining from
$47.50 to $23.75. What would the new divisor have to be to keep the
index unchanged at
10,875?

Roho Company acquired equipment on July 1, 2019, for $100,000. The residual value is $20,000 and the estimated life is 5 years or 40,000 hours. Compute the depreciation expense for the years ending December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 if Roho Company uses the double−declining−balance method of depreciation.
A. $9000 for 2019; $ 36400 for 2020
B. $20000 for 2019; $ 32000 for 2020
C. $4500 for 2019; $ 9000 for 2020
D. $40000 for 2019; $ 24000 for 2020

In March 2020, a bank saw a 6% drop in assets, a 30% drop in capital, but no change in liabilities.
(a) How much was the bank's leverage ratio
(defined as the equity multiplier) at the beginning of March
2020?
(b) How much was the bank's leverage ratio
(defined as the equity multiplier) at the end of March 2020?
(c) In April 2020, the bank's assets decreased
by 2%, while the bank's liabilities remained unchanged. What was
the percentage change in the bank's capital in April 2020?

2.) Mutually exclusive projects may be ranked differently when higher or lower discount rates are used.

a. True

18.) Porter Climate Control is evaluating a proposal to move some manufacturing operations from an obsolescent plant in Illinois to a new facility in Mexico. The new facility will cost $58 million to open. and is expected to result in savings of $16 million per year for the first five years. At the end of 5 years, Porter will decide either to close the plant in Mexico or to keep it indefinitely. If Porter closes the plant, the building and equipment can be sold for $20,000,000. If the plant is kept, assume that the $16 million turns into a perpetuity. There is a 30% chance the plant will be closed and a 70% chance it will be kept. Compute the expected NPV of the project. Use a discount rate of 12%.
a. $75.32 million
b. ($30.32 million)
c. $56.04 million
d. $114.04 million

*An adult human being at rest produces roughly 0.40 mJ/h of thermal
energy through metabolic activity. Use that fact to solve the
following problems.
(a)
A college student who weighs 128 pounds put off a major assignment
until the day before it was due and worked for eight hours to
complete it. If she is modeled as a closed adiabatic system at
constant pressure, her heat capacity and molecular weight are
approximately the same as that of liquid water, and her temperature
was normal when she began to work, what would her temperature have
been by the time the assignment was finished?
(b)
Now model the student as an open system and assume that evaporation
of perspiration (evaporative cooling) is the only mechanism for
heat loss. How much weight would she have lost through evaporation
if she maintained a constant body temperature?
(c)
Are either of the models in Parts a and b reasonable? Explain. What
is the most likely explanation of what happened to the metabolic
energy produced in her body?

Thomson Media is considering some new equipment whose data are shown below. The equipment has a 3 year tax life and would be fully depreciated by the MACRS method over 3 years, but it would have a positive pre-tax salvage value at the end of year 3, when the project would be closed down. Also, additional net operating working capital would be required, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3 year life. What is the project's total cash flow in year 3? Create a table. DO NOT USE EXCEL
-Net investment in fixed assests = $70,000
- Required net opertaing work capital = $15,000
-Depreciation (MACRS): 33% in year 1
45% in year 2
15% in year 3
7% in year 4
- Earnings before taxes & depreciation = $54,000
- Expected pre-tax salvage value = $6,000
- Tax Rate: 35%
- WACC: 8%

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question.
A market research firm used a sample of individuals to rate the purchase potential of a particular product before and after the individuals saw a new television commercial about the product. The purchase potential ratings were based on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher values indicating a higher purchase potential. The null hypothesis stated that the mean rating "after" would be less than or equal to the mean rating "before." Rejection of this hypothesis would show that the commercial improved the mean purchase potential rating. Use
α = 0.05
and the following data to test the hypothesis and comment on the value of the commercial.
| Individual | Purchase Rating | |
|---|---|---|
| After | Before | |
| 1 | 6 | 5 |
| 2 | 6 | 4 |
| 3 | 7 | 7 |
| 4 | 4 | 3 |
| 5 | 3 | 6 |
| 6 | 9 | 8 |
| 7 | 7 | 5 |
| 8 | 6 | 7 |
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Use μd = mean rating after − mean rating before.)
H0: μd ≠ 0
Ha: μd = 0
H0: μd > 0
Ha: μd ≤ 0
H0: μd ≤ 0

Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c) State your conclusion.
Do not Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that seeing the commercial improves the mean potential to purchase.
Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that seeing the commercial improves the mean potential to purchase.
Reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that seeing the commercial improves the mean potential to purchase.
Do not reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that seeing the commercial improves the mean potential to purchase.
