Club Fitness is open from 5 A.M. until 9 P.M. Monday through Saturday. The gym is closed on Sundays and holidays. Hank Hunkley, the owner, is considering offering 24-hour, 7-day-a-week, 365-days-a year access for an additional $59 a year per member. In exchange for the extra fee, the member would receive a magnetic fob that will unlock the door when the facility is closed. Each fob would cost Hank $5. Based on a survey taken of his 951 current members, Hank estimates that 36% of them will buy the fob to allow extended hours access. What is the total CLV associated with the 24/7/365 access plan for the current membership if the costs for personnel and equipment for the program are $9,548 annually?

6. The income-expenditure model Consider a small economy that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. Suppose that the economy has the following consumption function, where C is consumption, Y is real GDP, I is investment, G is government purchases, and T stands for net taxes: C = 45+0.75×(Y – T) Suppose G = $60 billion, I = $60 billion, and T = $20 billion. Given the consumption function and the fact that for a closed economy total expenditure can be calculated as Y=C+I+G , the equilibrium output level is equal to $ billion. Suppose the government purchases are reduced by $50 billion. The new equilibrium level of output will be equal to . Based on the effect of the change in government purchases on equilibrium output, you can tell that this economy's spending multiplier is equal to .

The multi-merge sort algorithm (M&M sort) works like merge sort, except that instead of dividing the array into 2 partitions, it divides the array into p partitions. It recursively sorts each of the p partitions and then merges the results doing a p-way merge (except, of course, for the base case of a singleton or empty array). (a) Write the recurrence for T(n) for M&M sort for the case where p is a constant. Then, give a closed-form solution to the recurrence using the Master Theorem, and note which case applied. (b) Now assume that p is not a constant, but rather p(n) = n/10. Rewrite T(n) for this case. Then, give a closed form solution. Use the Master Theorem if it applies, or any other means of arriving at the result.

On November 1, 2017, Whispering Company adopted a stock-option plan that granted options to key executives to purchase 27,300 shares of the company’s $10 par value common stock. The options were granted on January 2, 2018, and were exercisable 2 years after the date of grant if the grantee was still an employee of the company. The options expired 6 years from date of grant. The option price was set at $30, and the fair value option-pricing model determines the total compensation expense to be $409,500.

All of the options were exercised during the year 2020: 18,200 on January 3 when the market price was $68, and 9,100 on May 1 when the market price was $78 a share.

Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Assume that the employee performs services equally in 2018 and 2019.
