Company A purchases Company B. This is a 100% equity purchase which means that Company A acquires all of the Company B assets and assumes the liabilities of Company B.

Calculate the value of goodwill recognized in the acquisition. Round to the nearest whole dollar and do not include the dollar sign ($).

Assume

  • the current market value of tangible physical assets is $1,357,924 (determined by Company A as at the acquisition date)
  • the current market value of the only identifiable intangible asset (a customer list) is $125,000 (determined by Company A as at the acquisition date)
  • Operating (non-Financial) liabilities have an appraised value of $300,000 before and after the acquisition.
  • Financial Liabilities were appraised by company B to be valued at $600,000 immediately Before the acquisition.
  • Financial Liabilities were appraised by Company A to be valued at $495,000 immediately After the acquisition.
  • There are no other assets or liabilities to consider than those presented above
  • Company A paid $987,000 cash for Company B.

A mid-distance running coach claims that his six-month training program significantly reduces the average time to complete a 1500-meter run. Five mid-distance runners were randomly selected before they were trained with the coach’s six-month training program and their completion time of 1500-meter run was recorded (in minutes). After six-months of training under the coach, the same five runner’s 1500 meter run time recorded again, the results are given below. Runner 1 2 3 4 5 Completion time before training 5.9 7.5 6.1 6.8 8.1 Completion time after training 5.4 7.1 6.2 6.5 7.8 18. Is the statement that the training program reduce the mean run time at 5% level of significance. (Hint: paired samples) 19. What conclusion you can draw about the claim of the coach?

A 0.00410–kg bullet traveling horizontally with a speed of 1.00 ✕ 103 m/s enters a 21.0–kg door, embedding itself 19.0 cm from the side opposite the hinges as in the figure below. The 1.00–m–wide door is free to swing on its hinges.

(a) Before it hits the door, does the bullet have angular momentum relative to the door's axis of rotation?

Yes or No     


Explain.



(b) Is mechanical energy conserved in this collision? Answer without doing a calculation.

Yes or No     


(c) At what angular speed does the door swing open immediately after the collision? (The door has the same moment of inertia as a rod with axis at one end.)
rad/s

(d) Calculate the energy of the door–bullet system. (Enter the kinetic energy of the door–bullet system just after collision.)
J

Determine whether the energy of the door–bullet system is less than or equal to the kinetic energy of the bullet before the collision.

less than or equal

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 4.7 m/s2 for 3.8 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 8.4 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 205 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the blue car comes to a stop.

How fast is the blue car going 2.7 seconds after it starts?

How fast is the blue car going 9.6 seconds after it starts?

How far does the blue car travel before its brakes are applied to slow down?

What is the acceleration of the blue car once the brakes are applied?

What is the total time the blue car is moving?

What is the acceleration of the yellow car?
