A zombie apocalypse is expected to make paper money worthless. In your opinion what would be the item with the highest relative price (the price of a good in terms of another)? Explain why?

Explain how an increase in human capital (knowledge and skills acquired) would effect a change in or movement along the supply curve of bullets during the zombie apocalypse.

List three types of products that have elastic pricing, and three types of products that have inelastic pricing. Choose one of the inelastic products and think of a specific product and brand in that category. what do you think is the highest price the marketers could charge for that product, before demand would be adversely affected? Explain your thinking.

Cypress, which uses the high-low method, had an average cost per unit of $5 at its lowest level of activity when sales equaled 10,000 units and an average cost per unit of $3.25 at its highest level of activity when sales equaled 24,000 units. Cypress would estimate fixed costs as:

Consider a project that requires an initial investment of $103,000 and will produce a single cash flow of $148,000 in 4 years.

What is the NVP of this project if the 4 year interest rate is 5.2% (EAR) ?

Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C.

A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Let ZZ represent the reading of this thermometer at freezing. What reading separates the highest 23.64% from the rest? That is, if P(z>c)=0.2364P(z>c)=0.2364, find c.

1) Explain why there are so few metallic materials with one-dimensional bands. Naming and describe the type of distortion responsible for this.

2) Why are the superconducting critical temperatures of conventional superconductors often highest when the material has the apparently contradictory features of having strong bonds but poor orbital overlap between atoms associated with the conduction band?
