A four-wheel cart of mass M = 95 kg is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant velocity V = 3.5 m/s relative to the ground. A person of mass m1 = 65 kg carrying a backpack of m2 = 8 kg runs and catches up to the cart, and then jumps onto the cart. Just before landing on the cart, the person is moving parallel to the ground and the velocity of the center of mass of the system including the person, backpack and cart is VCM = 5 m/s.
What is the speed of the person just before landing on the cart?
v0 = 5.3 m/s
v0 = 12 m/s
v0 = 0.45 m/s
v0 = 7 m/s
v0 = 8.8 m/s
2)
What is the horizontal momentum of the person after landing on the cart?
pf = 325 kg m/s
pf = 455 kg m/s
pf = 228 kg m/s
3)
Compare the total kinetic energy of the system including the person, backpack and cart before the person has landed on the cart to after.
KEbefore = KEafter
KEbefore > KEafter
KEbefore < KEafter
4)
The person now holds the backpack off the back of the cart and lets go. The backpack falls to the ground. What happens to the speed of the cart when the backpack is dropped?
increases
decreases
stays the same

On the sale date of 1 December, Jordan Inc also enters into a forward contract with its bank to sell €20m in exchange for US Dollars on 1 March 2020.
The relevant spot and forward exchange rates for the Euro/US$ on the various dates are as follows:
1-Dec-19: Spot €1=US$1 & Forward Rate to 1-Mar-20 €1=US$1.04
31-Dec-19: Spot €1=US$1.05 & Forward Rate to 1-Mar-20 €1=US$1.10
1-Mar-20: Spot €1=US$1.12
Jordan Inc’s incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent. The present value factor for two months at an annual interest rate of 12 percent (1 percent per month) is 0.9803.
Assume that the forward contract discount or premium is allocated on a straight-line basis.

P12-2 (LO1,2,4,5) EXCEL (Accounting for Patents) Fields Laboratories holds a valuable patent (No. 758-6002-1A) on a precipitator that prevents certain types of air pollution. Fields does not manufacture or sell the products and processes it develops. Instead, it conducts research and develops products and processes which it patents, and then assigns the patents to manufacturers on a royalty basis. Occasionally it sells a patent. The history of Fields patent number 758-6002-1A is as follows.
| Date | Activity | Cost |
| 2008–2009 | Research conducted to develop precipitator |
$384,000 |
| Jan. 2010 | Design and construction of a prototype |
87,600 |
| March 2010 | Testing of models |
42,000 |
| Jan. 2011 | Fees paid engineers and lawyers to prepare patent application; patent granted June 30, 2011 |
59,500 |
| Nov. 2012 | Engineering activity necessary to advance the design of the precipitator to the manufacturing stage |
81,500 |
| Dec. 2013 | Legal fees paid to successfully defend precipitator patent |
42,000 |
| April 2014 | Research aimed at modifying the design of the patented precipitator |
43,000 |
| July 2018 | Legal fees paid in unsuccessful patent infringement suit against a competitor |
34,000 |
Fields assumed a useful life of 17 years when it received the initial precipitator patent. On January 1, 2016, it revised its useful life estimate downward to 5 remaining years. Amortization is computed for a full year if the cost is incurred prior to July 1, and no amortization for the year if the cost is incurred after June 30. The company's year ends December 31.
Instructions
Compute the carrying value of patent No. 758-6002-1A on each of the following dates:
(a)December 31, 2011.
(b)December 31, 2015.

The figures below show bird's-eye views of six automobile crashes an instant before they occur. The automobiles have different masses and incoming velocities as shown. After impact, the automobiles remain joined together and skid to rest in the direction shown by vfinal. Rank these crashes according to the angle θ , measured counterclockwise as shown, at which the wreckage initially skids.
