My physics class did an online lab thing where a charged plastic rod is brought near a magnetic and non-magnetic conduction rod about the same size. Both ends of the magnet and the non-magnetic rod were attracted to the charged rod. I am a little confused and what forces/ different forces are causing this
Question: If the charged rod is attracted to the magnetic and the non-magnetic rod in the same way, can you conclude that there are any special interactions or forces between either of the magnetic poles and the rod?
Question: Is the interaction between magnets a different phenomenon from the electrostatic interaction of charges? Cite evidence for your answer (use question 2 to help). Keep in mind we are talking about electrostatics i.e. the charges are not moving, NOT electrodynamics where charges are in motion.

Coronado Industries Inc. constructed a building and acquired
five assets during the current year.
Construction of Building: A building was
constructed on land purchased last year at a cost of $216,000.
Construction began on February 1 and was completed on November 1.
The payments to the contractor were as follows.
|
Date |
Payment |
|
|---|---|---|
| March 1 | $324,000 | |
| July 1 | 247,500 | |
| October 1 | 292,500 |
Coronado obtained a $630,000, 8% construction loan on March 1.
Coronado repaid the loan on October 1. Coronado had $360,000 of
other outstanding debt during the year at a borrowing rate of
9%.
Asset 1: Coronado acquired office furniture by
making a $6,750 down payment and issuing a $9,000, 2-year,
zero-interest-bearing note. The note is to be paid off in two
$4,500 installments made at the end of the first and second years.
It was estimated that the asset could have been purchased outright
for $14,580.
Asset 2: Coronado acquired manufacturing equipment
by trading in used manufacturing equipment. (The exchange lacks
commercial substance.) Facts concerning the trade-in are as
follows.
| Cost of equipment traded in | $46,800 | |
| Accumulated depreciation on equipment traded in - to date of sale | 30,600 | |
| Fair value of equipment traded | 22,500 | |
| Cash received | 2,250 | |
| Fair value of equipment acquired | 20,250 |
Asset 3: Four computers were acquired by issuing
500 shares of $1 par value common stock. The stock had a market
price of $12 per share.
Assets 4 and 5: Coronado purchased these assets
together for a lump sum of $207,000 cash. The following information
was gathered.

Dana’s Ribbon World makes award rosettes. Following is
information about the company:
| Variable cost per rosette | $ | 1.20 |
| Sales price per rosette | 4.00 | |
| Total fixed costs per month | 2800.00 | |
Required:
1. Suppose Dana’s would like to generate a profit of $880.
Determine how many rosettes it must sell to achieve this target
profit. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal
places and final answer tothe
nearest whole number.)
|
2. If Dana’s sells 1,200 rosettes, compute its margin of safety in units, in sales dollars, and as a percentage of sales. (Round your Margin of Safety percentage to two decimal places (i.e. .1234 should be entered as 12.34%).
|
3. Calculate Dana’s degree of operating
leverage if it sells 1,200 rosettes. (Round your
intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4
decimal places.)
|
4. Using the degree of operating leverage,
calculate the change in Dana’s profit if unit sales drop to 1,080
units. Confirm this by preparing a new contribution margin income
statement. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4
decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places. (i.e. .1234
should be entered as 12.34%.))

1. Mortgage Analysis:
When giving housing loans, financial institutions check, whether applicants qualify for the loan. For example, your down payment should exceed a certain percentage of the property value and your monthly payments (mortgage, property taxes etc.) should be less than a certain percentage of household's gross (pre-tax) monthly income.
Using the following parameters as variable inputs, please develop a model, which addresses the questions at the bottom
Inputs:
|
Household annual pre-tax income |
$ 197,000 |
|
Household liquid assets available for down payment |
$ 210,000 |
|
House price: |
$899,000 |
|
Real estate (property) tax: |
1.2% |
|
Loan characteristics |
|
|
Maturity: |
30 years |
|
APR: |
4.15% |
|
Payment frequency: |
monthly |
|
Minimum down payment requirement: |
20% |
|
All house-related payments (mortgage, property taxes etc.) as a percentage of gross (pre-tax) income should not exceed |
28% |
Questions:
-Create loan amortization schedule (double check your calculations by using alternative methods to calculate payments).
-Should this household receive the loan? What is the maximum mortgage loan that can be given to this household?
-Now assume that you have purchased the house exactly 5 years ago and you get an offer to refinance into a new 30 year mortgage with 4.00% APR. The fixed cost of refinancing is a one-time fee of $10,000.
-Is it to your benefit to refinance?
-What factors influence your decision? (Make any additional assumptions you deem necessary.)
