This question is about producer surplus and consumer surplus.
(a) Given a linear demand curve, if domestic consumption changes by 10%, does consumer surplus also change by 10%? Why or why not? What is the relationship between change in domestic consumption and consumer surplus? Start with an algebraic form of a demand curve and to answer the question.
(b) Is there a difference between producer surplus and profit? Explain.

You heat 18.57 g of a solid in a test tube to 99.8°C and then add the solid to 65.50 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The water temperature changes from 24.46°C to 29.27°C. Find the specific heat capacity of the solid in J/g°C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C. Enter to 3 decimal places.

1, Describe the mutation in the DNA molecule that leads to
sickle cell disease. (What change is there in the DNA?)
2. How did this mutation affect the amino acid sequence in the
hemoglobin protein? (Which amino acid was different?)
3. What was the effect on the actual hemoglobin protein caused by
this amino acid change?
4. How do the changes in the red blood cells relate to the
symptoms

A circular loop in the plane of the paper lies in a 0.78 T magnetic field pointing into the paper.
A) If the loop's diameter changes from 16.6 cm to 6.4 cm in 0.63 s , what is the direction of the induced current? Clockwise or Counterclockwise?
B) What is the magnitude of the average induced emf? Answer in V.
C) If the coil resistance is 4.3 ohm , what is the average induced current? Answer in A

1 - Is PID control used in Feed Forward or Feed Back control?
2 - We have a controller, and every time the Operator changes the Set Point, the controller responds, and gets the process sorted out. Now, somewhere, we have read that load disturbances needed to be considered in processes, as well. How will this controller react, if there is a load disturbance, and not a Set Point change?

In a large, sexually reproducing population with random mating with respect to phenotype, the frequency of an allele changes from 20% to 60% across several generations. Based upon this change in allele frequency, the most likely cause of the change is
| that the allele mutates readily. |
| that genetic drift is responsible for the increase in the allele’s frequency. |
| that the allele codes for a trait that is maladaptive in thepopulation. |
| that the allele codes for a trait that is adaptive in thepopulation. |

You have been asked to review the useful lives of your company's fixed assets and recommend any appropriate changes. Your company uses incentive compensation broadly across management levels and the incentives are tied to current profits. If you recommend shorter useful lives it will have an adverse impact on profits in the short term. How should you approach this assignment?
