Jetta production cost in 2002 and 2003 was 14,000 Euro per Jetta. Jetta sold in US at $15,000 in 2002 and 2003. Forward hedge exchange rate was 1 $/Euro in 2003. Rate without hedge (i.e. market exchange rate) was 1.25$/Euro in 2003. If 10,000 Jetta were sold in US, in 2003, by 70% forward hedge and 30% not hedged. What would be profits or loss from sales of 10,000 Jetta in US? (the answer is 1.0 million Euro, please show work on how to get this answer )

Bass - Samples: The bass in Clear Lake have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 2.3 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.9 pounds.
(a) If you catch 3 random bass from Clear Lake, find the
probability that the mean weight is less than 1.0
pound. Round your answer to 4 decimal
places.
(b) If you catch 3 random bass from Clear Lake, find the
probability that the mean weight it is more than 3
pounds. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Consider the following reaction occurring at 298 K: N2O(g)+NO2(g)⇌3NO(g) Part A Show that the reaction is not spontaneous under standard conditions by calculating ΔG∘rxn.
Part B If a reaction mixture contains only N2O and NO2 at partial pressures of 1.0 atm each, the reaction will be spontaneous until some NO forms in the mixture. What maximum partial pressure of NO builds up before the reaction ceases to be spontaneous?
Part C What temperature is required to make the reaction spontaneous under standard conditions?

write a function to determine the square root of a number. The square root of a number can be approximated by repeated calculation using the formula NG = 0.5(LG + N/LG) where NG stands for the next guess and LG stands for the last guess. The loop should repeat until the difference between NG and LG is less than 0.00001. Use an initial guess of 1.0. Write a driver program to test your square root function. I WANT THIS PROGRAM IN PYTHON AND WIT PSEUDOCODE!!! AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE!!!!

Que1.Consider two balls of identical mass. If ball 1 is moving to the right towards stationary ball 2 at 1.0 m/s and the two balls collide elastically, what will the final velocities of both balls be? (Hint: consider this simulation.)
Que 2.If the same two balls again undergo a collision, but this time the collision is inelastic, what will the final velocities of both balls be?
Que 3.What are the conditions for elastic and inelastic collisions?
Que 4.Explain how the acceleration of an object can be equal to gravitational acceleration.

Consider a W30x99 beam (Fy = 60 ksi) that is simply supported,
30 ft. long, and subjected to a point load
at the midspan. The point service load consists of 60% live load
and 40% dead load. Lateral supports exist
at the ends only. Design code to comply with: 2016 AISC LRFD.
(a) Determine the maximum point service load P for strong-axis
bending assuming Cb = 1.0.
(b) Redetermine the maximum point service load P for strong-axis
bending considering proper Cb value.

Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the following balanced equation. Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)→ZnCl2(aq)+H2(g) When 0.107 g of Zn(s) is combined with enough HCl to make 54.9 mL of solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter, all of the zinc reacts, raising the temperature of the solution from 22.0 ∘C to 24.0 ∘C.
Find ΔHrxn for this reaction as written. (Use 1.0 g/mL for the density of the solution and 4.18 J/g⋅∘C as the specific heat capacity.)

Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e. 20°С. Its width is 5.0 cm; thickness is 1.0 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m·K; and base temperature is 40°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2 .K. You can use Table 1(a) for assistance. (i) Estimate the fin temperature at a distance of 5.0 cm from the base, and; (ii) Calculate the rate of heat loss from the entire fi
