Every road has one at some point - construction zones that have much lower speed limits. To see if drivers obey these lower speed limits, a police officer uses a radar gun to measure the speed (in miles per hours, or mph) of a random sample of 10 drivers in a 25 mph construction zone. Here are the data: 27; 33; 32; 21; 30; 30; 29; 25; 27; 34. Is there convincing evidence that at the α=0.01 significance level that the average speed of drivers in this construction zone is greater than the posted speed limit?

Can a low barometer reading be used to predict maximum wind speed of an approaching tropical cyclone? For a random sample of tropical cyclones, let x be the lowest pressure (in millibars) as a cyclone approaches, and let y be the maximum wind speed (in miles per hour) of the cyclone.

x 1004 975 992 935 976 928

y 40 100 65 145 75 146

(b) Use a calculator to verify that Σx = 5810, Σx² = 5,630,690, Σy = 571, Σy² = 63,791 and Σxy = 546,403.

Pink Corporation has several employees. Their names and salaries are listed below:

Judy $470,000

Holly (Judy's daughter) 100,000

Terry (Judy's son) 100,000

Amman (an unrelated third party) 320,000

Holly and Terry are the only shareholders of Pink. Judy and Amman share equally in the management of the company's operations. Holly and Terry are both full-time college students at a university 200 miles away. Pink has substantial E & P and never has distributed a dividend. What are any income tax issues related to Pink's salary arrangement?

James owns both ski lodges, and therefore all of the skiing, in town. There are no other ways

to ski or ski lodges within 100 miles. Devise a way to segment the skiers in the town

into two markets, high willingness to pay and low willingness to pay, and find a way to

successfully charge them different prices. You need to describe how you will get the high

willingness to pay consumers to reveal their increased willingness to pay. You will also need to

describe how you will prevent consumer arbitrage between the high and low willingness to pay

consumers.

Suppose you manage a local grocery store, and you learn that a very popular national grocery chain is about to open a store just a few miles away. Use the model of monopolistic competition to analyze the impact of this new store on the quantity of output your store should produce (Q) and the price your store should charge (P). What will happen to your profits? Explain your reasoning in detail. How and why do profits change? What could you do to defend your market share against the new store? (200 WORDS)

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 42.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 17.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . How fast (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.)

Lopez Company paid wages of $178,200 this year. Of this amount, $107,500 was taxable for net FUTA and SUTA purposes. The state's contribution tax rate is 3.1% for lopez Company. Due to cash flow problems, the company did not make any SUTA payments until after the Form 940 filing date. Compute the following; round your answers to the nearest cent.

a. Amount of credit the company would receive against the FUTA tax for its SUTA contributions
$

b. Amount that lopez Company would pay to the federal government for its FUTA tax
$

c. Amount that the company lost because of its late payments
$

During 2017, lopez worked for two different employers. Until May, he worked for M Construction Company in, Iowa, and earned $21,210. The state unemployment rate for lopez is 4.6%. He then changed jobs and worked for Hugh Improvement Company in kansas, and earned $28,200 for the rest of the year. The state unemployment rate for Ford is 5.1%. Determine the unemployment taxes (FUTA and SUTA) that would be paid by each company. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

in each region of the world we adapt to cultural norms and nuances, but we hold true to our standards and best practices that benefit our owners, team members, and guests. This impacts our approach to every aspect of our business—from the ways we train and engage our team members to our customer marketing campaigns and service delivery. Our strategic perspective is that a brand is a promise consistently delivered. Equally important, we strive to be culturally relevant. Cultural differences largely come to life in food and beverage and leisure amenities, such as spa offerings. For example, our eforea: spa at Hilton treatment menus are designed so that each hotel offers core elements that our guests expect, but the menus also give our owners in China flexibility to add treatments specific to their local market. Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe will feature spa treatments such as a foot massage and a variety of full-body massages inspired by traditional Chinese aromatherapy oils.

As a global brand with hotels in 78 countries, we invest a great deal of time and research into understanding the needs and expectations of travelers today, and we are prepared to meet these needs as they evolve over time. Research tells us that travelers have a great deal of trust for Hilton, particularly when traveling abroad. Because traveling abroad is a new experience for many of our guests from mainland China, our brand gives them confidence that the hotel experience will meet their needs so that they can focus on exploring a new destination.

From our more than two decades of experience operating in mainland China, we see two trends that differentiate the Chinese traveler. These trends are similar to the trends we have historically experienced with other rapidly expanding customer segments. First, we must provide our guests with familiar comforts, and make it a point to have team members fluent in Mandarin on staff at our hotels outside China. The recent global launch of the Hilton Huanying program is helping us achieve this goal.

Second, we recognize that most travelers from China are booking through government-approved travel agents and tour operators, rather than booking directly with a hotel or online. This affects how we communicate with our customers when they are considering lodging options. With more than 20 years of experience serving the China market, we have developed longstanding relationships with government travel agencies and tour operators. Hilton Worldwide opened its first international sales offices in Beijing and Shanghai in 2005, so we have teams in the market who really understand the travelers and communicate regularly with government travel agencies and tour operators. With Hilton Huanying, for example, we invited many of the tour operators to participate in the global launch events in San Francisco, Beijing, and Shanghai.

Our brand also has an aggressive marketing campaign in China, offers a Chinese version of our consumer site (www.hilton.com.cn) and recently launched a Chinese version of our global press site (www.hiltonglobalmediacenter.com.cn) as a resource for Chinese media

QUESTION

How do Hiltons china operations differ from its operations elsewhere?

Consider the following two half-cells. One half-cell (half-cell A) initially has 1.0 M each of 3PG and GAP; the other half-cell (half-cell B) initially has 1 M each of NAD+ and NADH. What is the value of ΔG°’ (in kcal/mol to the nearest tenths) when the two half-cells are connected by a salt bridge. To answer this question, you will need the standard reduction potential of NAD+ (which is given in your text), and you will need the standard reduction potential of 3PG (i.e., 3PG + 2H+ + 2e- --> GAP + H2O), which is not listed in your text but which I will provide for you. This value is -0.55 V.

Standard reduction potential for NAD+ -> NADH is -0.32 V.
