The Clifford Corporation has announced a rights offer to raise $20 million for a new journal, the Journal of Financial Excess. This journal will review potential articles after the author pays a nonrefundable reviewing fee of $4,000 per page. The stock currently sells for $40 per share, and there are 1.5 million shares outstanding. |
| a. |
What is the maximum possible subscription price? What is the minimum? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.) |
| b. | If the subscription price is set at $32 per share, how many shares must be sold? How many rights will it take to buy one share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your rights needed answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
| c. | What is the ex-rights price? What is the value of a right? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
| d. | A shareholder with 1,000 shares before the offering has no desire (or money) to buy additional shares offered as rights. What is his portfolio value before and after the rights offer? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) |

Similar to the study described on Handout 11, investigators recorded PWV, a measure of vascular stiffness, in 18 children diagnosed with progeria. The objective was to test the effectiveness of the drug lonafarnib. PWV was measured on the 18 children before taking the drug, then re-measured on the same children after receiving a daily dose of the drug for two years. Please see HW3b data, where “untreated” = before taking the drug, and “treated” = after taking the drug for two years.

A tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20 comma 000 miles or "you get a new set of tires." In its experience, a set of these tires last on average 28 comma 000 miles with SD 5 comma 000 miles. Assume that the wear is normally distributed. The manufacturer profits $200 on each set sold, and replacing a set costs the manufacturer $400. Complete parts a through c.
(a) What is the probability that a set of tires wears out before 20 comma 000 miles? The probability is nothing that a set of tires wears out before 20 comma 000 miles. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) What is the probability that the manufacturer turns a profit on selling a set to one customer? The probability is nothing that the manufacturer turns a profit on selling a set to one customer. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(c) If the manufacturer sells 500 sets of tires, what is the probability that it earns a profit after paying for any replacements? Assume that the purchases are made around the country and that the drivers experience independent amounts of wear. The probability is nothing that the manufacturer earns a profit after paying for any replacements on 500 sets of tires. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Phoebe and Parker are equal members in Phoenix Investors, LLC. They are real estate investors who formed the LLC several years ago with equal cash contributions. Phoenix then purchased a parcel of land.
On January 1 of the current year, to acquire a one-third interest in the entity, Reece contributed to the LLC some land she had held for investment. Reece purchased the land five years ago for $120,000; its fair market value at the contribution date was $90,000. No special allocation agreements were in effect before or after Reece was admitted to the LLC. Phoenix holds all land for investment.
Immediately before Reece’s property contribution, the balance sheet of Phoenix Investors LLC was as follows:
Basis FMV
Land $30,000 $180,000
Phoebe, capital 15,000 90,000
Parker, capital 15,000 90,000
A few years later, Pheonix sold the land contributed by Reece for 84,000
A. How much is the recognized gain or loss? how is it allocated among the LLC members
B. Prepare a balance sheet reflecting basis and fair market value for the LLC immediately after the land sale. Also prepare schedules that support the basis and fair market value of each LLC members capital account.

The accompanying data show spot speeds collected at a section of highway located in a residential area. (i) Using the student’s t test, determine whether there was a statistically significant difference in the average speeds at the 95% confidence level. (ii) Also report for before and after the following: mean speed, standard deviation, 85th percentile speed and percentage of traffic exceeding the posted speed limit of 30 MPH. (iii) using the data, draw the histogram frequency distribution, cumulative percentage distribution for each set of data and determine: (a) average speed (b) 85th percentile speed, (c) 15th percentile speed, (d) mode (e) median and (f) pace[the most common 10 MPH range].

A stationary bicycle wheel of radius 0.7 m is mounted in the vertical plane (see figure below). The axle is held up by supports that are not shown, and the wheel is free to rotate on the nearly frictionless axle. The wheel has mass 4.1 kg, all concentrated in the rim (the spokes have negligible mass). A lump of clay with mass 0.5 kg falls and sticks to the outer edge of the wheel at the location shown. Just before the impact the clay has speed 6 m/s, and the wheel is rotating clockwise with angular speed 0.29 rad/s. (Assume +x is to the right, +y is upward, and +z is out of the page. Assume the line connecting the center to the point of impact is at an angle of 45° from the horizontal.)
(a) Just before the impact, what is the angular momentum (magnitude and direction) of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the center C?
| magnitude | kg · m2/s |
(b) Just after the impact, what is the angular momentum (magnitude and direction) of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the center C?
| magnitude | g · m2/s |
(c) Just after the impact, what is the angular velocity (magnitude and direction) of the wheel?
| magnitude | rad/s |
