Mercer Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. There has been a long-simmering dispute between the company’s estimator and the work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimators do not adequately distinguish between routine work, such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes, and nonroutine work, such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: “My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square footage by $2.80 to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $2.585 per square foot, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up. Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart.”

To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its costs. Data from the activity-based costing system follow:

Required:

1. Perform the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.

2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools.

3. Using the activity rates you have computed, determine the total cost and the average cost per thousand square feet of each of the following jobs according to the activity-based costing system.

a. A routine 1,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

b. A routine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

c. A nonroutine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

The following data was collected to explore how the number of square feet in a house, the number of bedrooms, and the age of the house affect the selling price of the house. The dependent variable is the selling price of the house, the first independent variable (x1x1) is the square footage, the second independent variable (x2x2) is the number of bedrooms, and the third independent variable (x3x3) is the age of the house.

Square Feet   Number of Bedrooms   Age   Selling Price
2750 5 14 296600
2696 5 11 294400
2523 4 7 281400
2057    4 7 240600

With celebrity​ bonds, celebrities raise money by issuing bonds to investors. The royalties from sales of the music are used to pay interest and principal on the bonds. In April of​ 2009, EMI announced that it intended to securitize its back catalogue with the help of the Bank of Scotland. The bond was issued with a coupon rate of 6.7​% and will mature on this day 38 years from now. The yield on the bond issue is currently 6.4%. At what price should this bond trade​ today, assuming a face value of $1,000 and annual​ coupons?

What is the percentage change in price for a zero coupon bond if the yield changes from 6.5​% to 8.5​%? The bond has a face value of $1,000 and it matures in 8 years. Use the price determined from the first​ yield, 6.5%, as the base in the percentage calculation.

Evaluate the effect of each shock below using first the classical model and second the Keynesian model. For the Classical model, include graphs of the goods market, the labor market, and the money market. For the Keynesian model, include an IS-LM-FE graph, an Aggregate Supply – Aggregate Demand graph, and a graph of labor market equilibrium with efficiency wages. For the Keynesian model, include short-run effects, while the price is constant, and long run effects after the price has fully adjusted.

1. There is a permanent increase in the money supply.
2. There is an increase in expected future productivity (the z in the production function).
3. There is an increase in government spending financed by an increase in expected future taxes.
4. There is an increase in the price of oil which reduces total factor productivity (z).

Calculate the concentration of the standardized thiosulfate solution.

The following are the steps and the concentration of my KIO₃ was 0.0114 and the weighed mass of Na₂S₂O₃ was 1.719 g

Weigh about 1.7 g Na₂S₂O₃  5H₂O, and transfer it to a 4 oz glass storage bottle. Add 100 mL (graduated cylinder) of room-temperature DI water, which has beenbubbled extensively with nitrogen, and which contains 100 mg /liter Na₂CO₃. Mix

thoroughly and add 1 drop of chloroform to prevent bacterial growth.

2) For the standardization, pipet 5 mL of the KIO₃ solution into each of three 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks.  From this point treat each flask separately until the titration isfinished.  Make the calculation to estimate your approximate endpoint volume.

3) Add 0.5 g of solid KI and 2.5 mL of 0.5 M H₂SO₄ to the first flask, and immediately

begin titrating with the Na₂S₂O₃ solution.

THE VOLUME OF THIOSULFATE USED UP WAS 5.09 mL

A box contains 500 envelopes, of which 75 contain $100 in cash, 150 contain $25, and 275 contain $10. An envelope may be purchased for $25. What is the sample space for the different amounts of money? Assign probabilities to the sample points and then find the probability that the first envelope purchased contains less than $100.
