(A) Which supplier provides more consistent and homogenous delivery times A or B? ...
Average Number of Days for Supplier A = days, and Standard Deviation = day.
Coefficient of Variation for Supplier A =
Average Number of Days for Supplier B = days, and Standard Deviation = day.
Coefficient of Variation for Supplier A =
(B) Justify your answer? ...
Since the (Click to select) Coefficient of Variation Mean Standard Deviation Variance of (Click to select) Supplier A Supplier B is less than that of (Click to select) Supplier B Supplier A , then it is more consistent and homogenous delivery times.

Consider the markets for Milky Way and Snickers candy bars. Evaluated at the market equilibrium, the estimated price elasticities of demand are 1.6 and 0.7, respectively. Assume the price elasticity of supply for each good is 1.0.
a. Construct side-by-side diagrams in which the prices of both goods are assumed to be equal. Identify the equilibrium price and quantity in both markets.
b. Suppose a rise in input prices reduces the supply of both goods proportionately. Illustrate the impact of the supply reduction on the equilibrium price and quantity.
c. Using the graphs drawn to answer (b), which good experiences a relatively larger change in price, and which good experiences a relatively larger change in quantity?
d. What happens to consumer spending (i.e. total revenue) in each market? Explain your answer by identifying and explaining the price and quantity effects.

A student runs an experiment with two carts on a low-friction track. As measured in the Earth reference frame, cart 1 (m = 0.48 kg ) moves from left to right at 1.0 m/s as the student walks along next to it at the same velocity. Let the +x direction be to the right.
a) What velocity v⃗ E2,i in the Earth reference frame must cart 2 (m = 0.16 kg ) have before the collision if, in the student's reference frame, cart 2 comes to rest right after the collision and cart 1 travels from right to left at 0.33 m/s?
b) What does the student measure for the momentum of the two-cart system?
c) What does a person standing in the Earth reference frame measure for the momentum of each cart before the collision?

Calculate the temperature of a planet. A star has a surface temperature of 4000K and a radius of R = 8 × 108 m It has a rocky, airless planet orbiting it at a distance of 1.0×1011 meters. The planet has a radius of 5.0 × 106 m. We will estimate 1 for all objects. (a) What is the total power output of the star?
(b) What is the power incident on each square meter at distance to the planet (i.e. on an imaginary sphere).
(c) How much power is absorbed by the planet? (Assume the planet is black. Use the fact that the planet looks like a disk.)
(d) In equilibrium, Pin = Pout. How much power does the planet radiate per square meter of surface area of the planet?
(e) What is the temperature of the planet? (Should humans try to live there?)

4. The following data set represent the percentage of gold from two different
locations:
Location A
| 23.6 | 22.4 | 18.9 | 29.8 | 22.7 | 25.4 | 17.5 | 14.2 | 29.4 | 26.1 | 24.1 | 22.3 |
Location B
5.0 6.1 2.3 2.1 7.8 9.2 4.1 2.5 4.2 9.9 1.0 1.2
b) Now consider the two locations as a single data set. What are the mean and the standard deviation of the gold percentage for this data set?
c) Using the empirical rule, determine what range of values captures the middle 68% of the data for the combined data set. Give the lower and upper limit of this range.
d) What is the actual percentage of data points that falls between these two values? Why is it different from your answer of part c?

A Company is considering a new product line to supplement its range line. It is anticipated that the new product line will involve cash investment of $700,000 at time 0 and $1.0 million in year 1. After-tax cash inflows of $500,000 are expected in year 2, $300,000 in year 3, $700,000 in year 4, and $400,000 each year thereafter through year 10. Though the product line might be viable after year 10, the company prefers to be conservative and end all calculations at that time.

Hampton Investment Co. is a U.S. firm that executes a carry trade in which it borrows euros (where interest rates are presently low) and invests in British pounds (where interest rates are presently high).
Hampton uses $100,000 of its own funds and borrows an additional 600,000 euros and convert to British Pounds.
It will pay 0.5% interest on euros borrowed for the next month and will earn 1.0 % on funds invested in British pounds.
Assume that the euro’s spot rate is $1.20 and that the British pound’s spot rate is $1.80. The pound is worth 1.5 euros at this time.
Hampton uses today’s spot rate as its best guess of the spot rate one month from now.
Calculate Hampton’s expected profits from its carry trade. Fill the answers for questions A to J
