Black Hill Inc. sells $100 million worth of 28-year to maturity 10.29% annual coupon bonds. The net proceeds (proceeds after flotation costs) are $991 for each $1,000 bond. What is the before-tax cost of capital for this debt financing?
Round the answer to two decimal places in percentage form. (Write the percentage sign in the "units" box)
You should use Excel or financial calculator.

A buffer is constructed by dissolving 2.05 grams of sodium benzoate (144.11 g/mol) and 2.47 grams of benzoic acid (122.12 g/mol Ka = 6.50 x 10^-5) in 150.0 mL of distilled water. The solution is titrated with 0.500 M NaOH. Calculate the pH of the solution:
a) at the equivalence point
b) 20.00 mL NaOH before the equivalence point
c) 20.00 mL NaOH after the equivalence point

A 3 kg ball is attached to a tree branch by a 2.0 m long rope. It is released from rest when the string is parallel to the ground. Just at it swings to its lowest point, it collides elastically head-on with a 2 kg ball of the same dimension, but going in the opposite direction. The 3 kg ball rebounds at a speed of 13 m/s after the collision. Find the speed of the 2 kg ball before the collision.

A 1.500 L flask is filled with a mixture of 1.20 g H2 and 8.40 g O2, at 25°C. The mixture is ignited, and hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water. What is the total pressure inside the flask before the reaction? (Report your answer in units of atmospheres.) What is the total pressure after the reaction, once the flask is returned to 25°C? (Vapour pressure of water at 25°C is 23.8 mm Hg.)

An instructor who taught two sections of engineering statistics last term (the first with 20 students and the second with 30), decided to assign a term project. After all projects had been turned in, the instructor randomly ordered them before grading. Consider the first 15 graded projects.
a. What is the probability that exactly 10 of these are from the second section? b. What is the probability that at least 10 of these are from the second section?
