Ben Bates graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an inves\tment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve his goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to either Wilton University or Mount Perry College. Although internships are encouraged by both schools, to get class credit for the internship, no salary can be paid. Other than internships, neither school will allow its student to work while enrolled in its MBA program. Ben currently works at the money management firm of Dewey and Louis. His annual salary at the firm is $70,000 per year, and his salary is expected to increase at 3 percent per year until retirement. He is currently 28 years old and expects to work for 37 more years. His current job includes a fully paid health insurance plan, and his current average tax rate is 28 percent. Ben has a savings account with enough money to cover the entire cost of his MBA program. The Ritter College of Business at Wilton University is one of the top MBA programs in the country. The MBA degree requires two years of full-time enrollment at the university. The annual tuition is $65,000, payable at the beginning of each school year. Books and other supplies are estimated to cost $2,000 per year. Ben expected that after graduation from Wilton, he will receive a job offer for about $100,000 per year, with a $10,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will increase at 4% per year. Because of the higher salary, his average income tax rate will increase to 32 percent. The Bradley School of Business at Mount Perry College began its MBA 16 years ago. The Bradley School is smaller and less well known than the Ritter College. Bradley offers an accelerated, oneyear program, with a tuition cost of $75,000 to be paid upon matriculation. Books and other supplies for the program are expected to cost $3,000. Ben thinks that he will receive an offer of $85,000 per year upon graduation, with a $10,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will increase at 3.5 percent. His average tax rate at this level of income will be 30 percent. Both schools offer a health insurance plan that will cost $2,500 per year, payable at the beginning of the year. Ben also estimates that room and board expenses will cost $15,000 per year at either school. The appropriate discount rate is 6 percent.

What initial salary would Ben need to receive to make him indifferent between attending Wilton University and staying in his current position?

Dear Colleagues,

I hope that you are all enjoying your summer respite even if teaching a class or two. It appears that as July 1 thirteen members of BET will be joining the Division from the Business Department, Information Management and Technology Department, and the Paralegal Program. WELCOME we are happy to have you as even closer colleagues! Please know that the move to three divisions is in progress and that plenty of details will need to be ironed out over the coming months, or perhaps years. This email serves several purposes: 1) those from BET may not be aware that I am interim in my position as DD and actually have a faculty contract. Because of this I am only part-time from now until August 11, working T-R. During this period I will be in the office from 8:00 AM-6:00 PM on TR and 8:00 AM-2:00 PM on Wednesday. I check email at least once on the other days. 2) In trying to think of a name for the Division it became apparent that we could not include all the parts in the name. I am proposing that the entire Division be referred to as Social Science and Professional Careers. If you have other suggestions please feel free to send them to me. I could not come up with a catchy acronym. 3) Departments will still meet as departments on the first Tuesday of the month. That means that Business, IMT, HSP, CJ, Global Studies, Psychology and Sociology will have their separate meetings. Currently DARC, DIS and Social Services are invited to PSYCH department meetings. I would ask that they now invite ECE as well, noting that the program attendance at department meetings is optional. 4) It appears that unlike the other Divisions, ours will have three “schools”. I am proposing the names below, but you can decide ultimately on what you want to be called.

School of Business and Hospitality: includes the Business Department, IMT, Paralegal and Hospitality

School of Social Science and Criminal Justice: includes CJ, Global Studies (ECN, GEO, HIS, POL) and Sociology

School of Behavioral Sciences: includes Psychology, DARC, DIS, ECE, and Social Services

5) It is possible that ultimately the Dean may decide to combine the last two “schools” in which case the name might be School of Basic and Applied Behavioral Sciences or School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. No one should get hung up on names yet since we have time to make those decisions.

Please know that my door is always open and I am happy to have you drop in and see me. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

From information found in the 2N3904’s datasheet (found with Google or on Blackboard), estimate the collector-emitter saturation voltage of the 2N3904 transistor at a collector current of 15 mA. You may perform a linear interpolation between the values found in the datasheet (ie: use the point-gradient formula learned in high school).
