1. Greece is a European country whose currency is the euro (€). Greece’s government has been borrowing because of its large budget deficits. There is widespread fear that Greece will be unable to repay the people and institutions that have lent it money. This is being called the “Greek Debt Crisis.”

a. Wealth holders around the world reacted to the Greek Debt Crisis by selling European financial assets and buying U.S. financial assets. Explain why their action changed the exchange rate between euros and dollars. Did their action strengthen or weaken the dollar relative to the euro?

b. Greece is part of the “Eurozone” – 16 countries that each use the euro (€) as its currency. The European Central Bank (ECB) sets monetary policy for the Eurozone. (You can think of the ECB as “Europe’s Fed.”) One monetary policy applies to all 16 countries of the Eurozone. The Greek legislature approved “austerity measures”: • increased taxes • reduced pensions (the equivalent of our Social Security), and • reduced pay for government workers. The austerity measures described above will increase Greek unemployment. Explain why? If the ECB wanted to use interest rates to help Greece’s economy following imposition of the austerity measures, should the ECB increase interest rates or decrease interest rates? Why? Explain fully.

c. Suppose the ECB takes the action you propose in Question 1b. In Eurozone countries that are currently at or near full employment, what impact will that change in interest rates have on inflation? Explain.

The good chemist is tasket with determining the concentration of manganese for a water sample drawn from a well next to a mine. To analyze the sample using absorbance spectroscopy, she prepares six sample (0-5) by adding 10.00 mL well water to 50.00-mL volumetric flasks, then adding increasing volumes of 25.00 ppm maganese solution, and diluting the resulting solution to 50.00 mL with 0.1 M HNO3. Final analysis at lambda(max)= 280 nm produced a graph of absorbance vs ppm Mn with best-fit line y = 0.0428x + 0.0487.

a) What is the concentration in ppm of manganese in the well water sample?

b) A field method of analysis was developed for testing soil near the mine where a .570 g sample of soil is quickly dissolved in acid with an oxidizing agent and diluted to 100 mL.

i) While you wait for the extraction, you calivrate your USB-spectrometer with a 3.15x10^-4 M standard of MnO4- with an average absorbance of .407 at 565 nm in a 1 cm cuvette. A blank solution made from DI water and acid had an absorbance of .078. Find the molar absorptivity of permanganate complex

ii) A few mL of the unknown solution is placed in a 1 cm cell and the transmission is found to be 30% at 565 nm. Calculate the concentration of manganese in the extracted sample.

iii)What was the weight percent of manganese in the original soil sample. iv) Explain in one sentence why permanganate appears to be a purple color

Connor and Martin have heard that IFRS is used internationally for financial statements but they know very little about it. Since they will most likely be going public and expanding internationally in the near future, they are considering switching to IFRS from GAAP and would like more information. They also realize if they go public and expand their business, they will have to deal with some issues they have not had to deal with previously, such as interim and segment reporting. For their first request, they would like you to research the following topics:

What are the similarities between GAAP and IFRS?

What are the major differences between GAAP and IFRS?

What are the requirements for interim reporting under both GAAP and IFRS?

Are there any problems or issues associated with interim reporting?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of providing segmented reporting?

What are the requirements for segment reporting under both GAAP and IFRS? Include the definition of an operating segment.

12) Two identical particles of charge 6 μC and mass 4 μg are initially at rest and held 4 cm apart. How fast will the particles move when they are allowed to repel and separate to very large (essentially infinite) distance? Answer: Last Answer

Hint: The particles are identical, so you can assume that the scenario is symmetrical. Use energy conservation: What type of energy is stored in the system when the particles are near each other and at rest? How does the voltage of a particle allow you to compute this energy? What about when the particles have flown away from each other? What is the relationship between these energies, according to energy conservation? (Also, remember that the SI unit for mass is the *kilo*gram and you are given the particle masses in *micro*grams.)

Now suppose that the two particles have the same charges from the previous problem, but their masses are different. One particle has mass 4 μg as before, but the other one is heavier, with a mass of 28 μg. Their initial separation is the same as before. How fast are the particles moving when they are very far apart? [Enter the heavier particle's final speed in the first box and the lighter particle's final speed in the second box.]

Answer 1 of 2:

Answer 2 of 2:

Hint: Notice that the asymmetry in the particle masses means that you cannot assume that they end up with the same speeds after separating. Use momentum conservation to help solve this problem.

Case Study

N. Got, P.Eng., has been hired recently as the chief engineer, as well as his assistant, James Lo, C.E.T., by a gold mine near a remote town in Northern Ontario. The mining company is the main employer in the region. Immediately upon starting the new job, N. Got spent some time reviewing the mining company’s operational procedures. No Got discovered that, for several years, tailing ponds at the mine have been releasing toxic and corrosive substances into the environment in violation of the law. N. Got also found in the company’s file a recent report prepared by an engineering consulting firm in Toronto. The report concerned an economic feasibility study for updating the mine’s facility. In the report, the engineering consulting firm specifically urged the mining company to undertake a number of expensive capital improvements necessary to ensure compliance with environmental law. N. Got also learned that the mining company could not afford the necessary improvements. N. Got found nothing in the mining company’s files that indicated that any governmental authorities were aware of the illegal discharges.

1. Discuss N. Got’s obligations with respect to the mining company

2. Discuss N. Got’s obligations with respect to the public. What is the public interest in this case? How would the public interest be impacted by N. Got’s actions? How should a potential mine closure and the resultant loss of a large number of jobs affect N. Got’s professional duties?

3. Discuss N. Got’s obligations with respect to the engineering consulting firm.

A 40-year-old male meter technician had just completed a seven-week basic lineman training course. He worked as a meter technician during normal working hours and as a line during unplanned outages. One evening, he was called to repair a power outage at your company. By the time he arrived at the site of the outage, he had already worked two hours of overtime and worked 14 straight hours the day before. At the site, a tree limb had fallen across an overhead power line. The neutral wire in the line was severed and the two energized 120-volt wires were disconnected. The worker removed the tree limb and climbed up a power pole to reconnect the three wires. He was wearing insulated gloves, a hard hat, and safety glasses. He prepared the wires to be connected. While handling the wires, one of the energised wires caught the cuff of his left glove and pulled the cuff down. The conductor contacted the victim's forearm near the wrist. He was electrocuted and fell backwards. Paramedics arrived five minutes after the contact. Firefighters lowered his dead body 30 minutes later. Based on the report, it is vital that this kind of accident should never have happened again. The upper management wants you to create based on the incident that happened, formulate a 10 Step Safety Operating Procedure (SOP) that can cover the element of hazard and mistakes being done. The SOP should have their own justification on why it is needed.
