P14.12 (LO 5) (Debtor/Creditor Entries for Continuation of Troubled Debt) Daniel Perkins is the sole shareholder of Perkins Inc., which is currently under protection of the U.S. bankruptcy court. As a “debtor in possession,” he has negotiated the following revised loan agreement with United Bank. Perkins Inc.'s $600,000, 12%, 10-year note was refinanced with a $600,000, 5%, 10-year note.

Instructions

  1.     What is the accounting nature of this transaction?
  2.     Prepare the journal entry to record this refinancing:
  1.    On the books of Perkins Inc.
  2.    On the books of United Bank.
  1.     Discuss whether generally accepted accounting principles provide the proper information useful to managers and investors in this situation.

Please show how the amount to multiply $600,000 is determined.

Suppose instead that advertising attracts new customers into the market, as illustrated by the payoffs in the second payoff matrix below. Each airline’s advertisements are different, so the effectiveness of each airline’s advertising campaign in attracting new customers to the market is different as well.

  1. Do the firms have dominant strategies? If so, what are they?
  2. What is the Nash equilibrium?
  3. What is the Stackelberg equilibrium if American Airlines makes their advertising decision first?
  4. What is the Stackelberg equilibrium if United Airlines makes their advertising decision first?

American Airlines (A)

Do Not Advertise

Advertise

United Airlines (U)

Do Not Advertise

A = 2

U = 2

A = 6

U = 6

Advertise

A = 0

U = 6

A = 5

U = 5

Andrew Thomas, a sandwich vendor at Hard Rock Cafe's annual Rockfest created a table of conditional values for the various alternatives (stocking decision) and states of nature (size of crowd):

 

 



Alternatives

States of Nature                  
Big Average Small

Large Stock

$22,000

$12,000

-$2,000

Average Stock

$14,000

$10,000

$6,000

Small Stock

$9,000

$8,000

$4,000

 

The probabilities associated with the states of nature are 0.3 for a big demand, 0.5 for an average demand, and 0.2 for a small demand.

1. Determine the alternative that provides Andrew the greatest Expected Monetary Value. What is this EMV?

2. What is the expected value under certainty?

3. Compute the expected value of perfect information, (EVPI)

4. Determine the appropriate alternative under uncertainty using Maximin. Provide support for your answer.

An element is recently discovered with ionization energy of 20eV.


An element is recently discovered with ionization energy of 20eV. This element has excited states that have energies of 13eV, 15eV, 17.5eV and 19.2eV above ground state energy.

A) draw an energy level diagram, include ground state and all of exited states.

B) If 17.5eV photon is absorbed by an atom of this substance, in which states was the atom before it absorbed this photon.

C) What will be energies of all of the photons that could subsequently by emitted by this atom after the photon in part b is absorbed.

D) Determine the wavelength of all the photons found in part c and determine in which part of the electromagnetic spectrum they fall. Determine their approximate color.

E) Sketch the emission spectrum for this element showing only those lines that fall in the visible light range of EM spectrum. Label the lines with their wavelength.

Psychologists have discovered that human beings experience several different states of consciousness during the course of a day. For example, people have times when they are especially alert and times when they are awake but not alert, often called "daydreaming." Also, while people are asleep, they experience different stages of sleep, each characterized by different patterns of brain and bodily activity.

In a multi-paragraph essay, discuss the different states of consciousness that you have experienced in the past 24 hours, including any periods when you were asleep, alert, or "daydreaming." Be sure to describe both the brain and bodily activity you experienced during each state of consciousness. Include information from class materials, readings, and research on states of consciousness to support your discussion.
