On March 1, 2010, Packard Company purchased land for an office site by paying $600,000 cash. Packard began construction on the office building one year later on March 1, 2011. The following expenditures were incurred for construction on each of the respective dates: Date Amount March 1, 2011 $680,000 April 1, 2011 $352,000 May 1, 2011 $450,000 June 1, 2011 $520,000 The office was completed and ready for occupancy on July 1. To help pay for construction, $400,000 of common stock was issued on March 1, 2011. The only debts outstanding during 2011 was a $150,000, 11%, 6-year note payable dated January 1, 2011 and a $300,000, 13%, 10-year note payable dated July 1, 2009. Neither of these notes were paid off prior to their respective maturity dates. The amount of interest cost to be capitalized by Packard during 2011 is

In his December 6, 2010 article in Datamation titled The Five E's of Cloud Computing Management in 2011, Jeffrey Kaplan states:

"The beauty of today's Cloud Computing solutions is that corporate executives and end-users can more easily critique their functional capabilities and user-friendliness before selecting one to address their needs. However, business decision-makers still need plenty of IT help looking "under the hood" at how these offerings are architected, delivered and supported to ensure they can integrate with existing systems and fulfill their promises. IT managers and CIOs should put selection criteria, procurement procedures and governance policies in place to oversee the evaluation and contracting processes." (Available here.)

When considering cloud computing, Kaplan says "corporate executives and end-users can more easily critique their functional capabilities and user-friendliness." What are the implications of this for planning IT acquisition projects? How much change do you see, if any, in solution selection criteria, procurement procedures, and governance approaches because of cloud computing, assuming the organization has established these earlier based on best practices?

regular gasoline averaged $2.75 per gallon in the United States in March 2010. Assume the standard deviation for gasoline prices is $0.08 per gallon. A random sample of 30 service stations was selected.

a) What is the probability that the sample mean will be less than $2.77?

b) What is the probability that the sample mean will be more than $2.76?

c) What is the probability that the sample mean will be between $2.72 and $2.78?

d) Suppose the sample mean is $2.79. Does this result support the findings of AAA? Explain your answer.

In the circuit of Figure P32.48, the battery emf is 80 V, the resistance R is 240 , and the capacitance C is 0.500 µF. The switch S is closed for a long time, and no voltage is measured across the capacitor. After the switch is opened, the potential difference across the capacitor reaches a maximum value of 150 V. What is the value of the inductance L?

A 2.47×10^-1 g sample of HCl and a 8.82 g sample of O₂ react in a closed 2.25 L container at 487 K, according to the following balanced chemical equation:

4HCl(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l) + 2Cl₂(g)

Calculate the P_Cl2 (in atm) in the container after the reaction has gone to completion.

Suppose the investment is very sensitive to the interest rate.That is, the function I(r), used to derive the IS curve, is very steep.

Graphically derive the IS curve in the closed economy. What can you say about the steepness IS curve?

In this context, which policy do you think is likely to be more effective? Fiscal policy or monetary policy?

6. A certain contaminant was studied in the laboratory by measuring over time the concentration in a sample placed in a closed container. The values of the observed concentrations are given below. Determine the reaction order and the decay rate for this contaminant.

An insulated, rigid vessel is initially empty (evacuated). However, it is connected to a steam line that is maintained at 200 psia and 745 ∘ ∘ F. The valve is opened until the flow into the tank slows and stops (which occurs when the pressure in the tank is equal to the pressure in the steam line), at which point the valve is closed. What is the temperature within the vessel?

Explain why government budget deficits crowd out private investment spending in a closed economy, but crowd out net exports in a small open economy. Assume prices are flexible and that factors of production are fully employed in both economies. Use the basic version of the open-economy model that abstracts from foreign debt accumulation.

An organ pipe is 151cm\; cm long. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. Part A: What are the fundamental and first three audible overtones if the pipe is closed at one end? What are the fundamental and first three audible overtones if the pipe is open at both ends? Express awnsers to 3 signiicant figures seperated by commas
