Derive the density of states of electrons in a three dimensional solid. Using this density of
states show that the specific heat of electrons (which is a fermion) in a three dimensional
solid is linear in temperature T.

Calculate the density of states function for a systemconsisting of alarge number of independent two-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator.Use an adaptation of the methods developed in"distribution function and densiy of states" for the 3D case

PLEASE PROVIDE CALCULATIONS

A protein can fold into four different conformations.

A) If the states are iso-energetic, and the system has 1 mole of protein equally mixed between the four states, what is the entropy change of forcing it all into a single confirmation on a per mole basis? (This might occur for example during the process of crystallization.)

B) Instead imagine that states B, C, D have a +1 kbT, +2 kbT, and +3 kbT energy increase compared to state A, respectively. What is the probability of finding the protein in each of the states?

C) For the system in part (B), now what’s the entropy change (on a per mole basis) of forcing the equilibrium mixture all to state A?

On January 1, 2019, Company X has an asset with a cost of $300,000 and accumulated

depreciation of $120,000. Estimated future cash inflows are $150,000 and the fair value

is $125,000. There is a 5-year remaining life and the company uses straight-line

depreciation. The asset will continue to be used in operations. At the beginning of

2020, Company X determines the fair value of the asset to be $160,000. Prepare entries

for 2019 and 2020.

IFRS: Assume the same facts except that Company X uses IFRS. Prepare the necessary

journal entries for 2019 and 2020.
