Michael Jordan Earned $30,100,000 playing for the Chicago Bulls in 1997. In 1997 the CPI was equal to 1.60. In 2020 LeBron James earned $37,400,000 playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. The CPI in 2020 is equal to 2.58. Calculate the real wage for Micheal Jordan in 1997 and Lebron James in 2020.

Please enter your answers as numeric answers rounded to the nearest dollar with no decimals (ie. 15,553,342 or $10,432,675 not $15,553,341.73 or $10,432,675.2). Because these will be large numbers it is a good idea to use commas to separate millions, thousands, and hundreds.

Bonita Inc. had the following long-term receivable account balances at December 31, 2019.

Note receivable from sale of division $2,400,000
Note receivable from officer 481,900


Transactions during 2020 and other information relating to Bonita’s long-term receivables were as follows.

1. The $2,400,000 note receivable is dated May 1, 2019, bears interest at 9%, and represents the balance of the consideration received from the sale of Bonita’s electronics division to New York Company. Principal payments of $800,000 plus appropriate interest are due on May 1, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The first principal and interest payment was made on May 1, 2020. Collection of the note installments is reasonably assured.
2. The $481,900 note receivable is dated December 31, 2019, bears interest at 8%, and is due on December 31, 2022. The note is due from Sean May, president of Bonita Inc. and is collateralized by 12,048 shares of Bonita’s common stock. Interest is payable annually on December 31, and all interest payments were paid on their due dates through December 31, 2020. The quoted market price of Bonita’s common stock was $44 per share on December 31, 2020.
3. On April 1, 2020, Bonita sold a patent to Pennsylvania Company in exchange for a $102,000 zero-interest-bearing note due on April 1, 2022. There was no established exchange price for the patent, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type at April 1, 2020, was 12%. The present value of $1 for two periods at 12% is 0.797 (use this factor). The patent had a carrying value of $40,800 at January 1, 2020, and the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2020, would have been $8,160. The collection of the note receivable from Pennsylvania is reasonably assured.
4.

On July 1, 2020, Bonita sold a parcel of land to Splinter Company for $200,000 under an installment sale contract. Splinter made a $60,000 cash down payment on July 1, 2020, and signed a 4-year 11% note for the $140,000 balance. The equal annual payments of principal and interest on the note will be $45,125 payable on July 1, 2021, through July 1, 2024. The land could have been sold at an established cash price of $200,000. The cost of the land to Bonita was $150,000. Circumstances are such that the collection of the installments on the note is reasonably assured.

Prepare a schedule showing the current portion of the long-term receivables and accrued interest receivable that would appear in Bonita’s balance sheet at December 31, 2020.

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass = 65.0 kg) and Rebecca (mass = 45.0 kg) are practicing on the ice. Daniel stops to tie his lace, and while at rest he is struck by Rebecca, who is moving 12.0 m/s before she collides with him. After the collision, Rebecca is moving forward at 8.50 m/s at a 53 degree angle with respect to her initial direction. What is the velocity vector (magnitude and direction, or x- and y-components) of Daniel after the collision? Assume frictionless ice. Hint: Momentum is conserved separately in both the x- and y-directions.

A 2.4 kg block hangs from the bottom of a 2.0 kg, 1.6 m long rod. The block and the rod form a pendulum that swings out on a frictionless pivot at the top end of the rod. A 10 g bullet is fired horizontally into the block, where it sticks, causing the pendulum to swing out to an angle of 45 degrees. You can treat the wood black as a point mass. What is the moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot after the collision? What was the angular velocity of the bullet and block combination right after the impact? What was the initial speed of the bullet before the impact?

Titration Problem:

Lactic acid, HC3H5O3 (see right for structure), builds up in muscles after vigorous exercise. It is a weak acid with a pKa = 3.86.

Consider the following titration:

25.0 mL 0.500 M lactic acid is titrated with 1.00 M NaOH.

Answer the following questions:

1. What is the pH of the lactic acid solution before any NaOH is added?

2. What is the pH after 5.00 mL of 1.00 M NaOH is added?

3. What is the pH at the equivalence point?

4. What is the pH when 25.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH has been added?

A manufacturer of fabricated metal products has acquired a new plasma table for $37,000. It is projected that the acquisition of this equipment will increase revenue by $10,000 per year. Operating costs for the machine will average $2,600 per year. The machine will be depreciated using the MACRS method, with a recovery period of 7 years. The company uses an after-tax MARR rate of 10% and has an effective tax rate of 30%.

2. Now, suppose that the duration of the project is six years and that an estimate of the value of the equipment cannot be obtained from the marketplace.

2.5. What conclusion can be drawn by comparing the results of the before- and after-tax analyses?
