A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius R0, and of uniform density ρ0 is placed in a large bowl containing water. It floats and the level of the water in the dish is L. Given the information below, determine the possible effects on the water level L, (R-Rises, F-Falls, U-Unchanged), when that sphere is replaced by a new solid sphere of uniform density.
The new sphere has mass M = M0 and density ρ < ρ0
The new sphere has radius R > R0 and density ρ =
ρ0
The new sphere has radius R > R0 and density ρ <
ρ0
The new sphere has density ρ = ρ0 and mass M < M0
The new sphere has radius R = R0 and mass M < M0
The new sphere has mass M = M0 and radius R < R0

Scenario
Shoals Corporation puts significant emphasis on cash flow when planning capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8 percent based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Shoals Corporation then uses different methods to determine the most appropriate capital outlays.
This year, Shoals Corporation is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now owns. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes:

Instructions
1. Evaluate, discuss, and compare whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
2. Identify and discuss any intangible benefits that might
influence this decision.
3. Answer the following: Should the company purchase the new
backhoes or continue using the old backhoes? Explain your
decision.

Calculate the net present value of the old backhoes and the new backhoes.
Discuss the net present value of each, including what the calculations reveal about whether the company should purchase the new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes.
Calculate the payback period for keeping the old backhoes and purchasing the new backhoes. (Hint: For the old machines, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
Discuss the payback method and what the payback periods of the old backhoes and new backhoes reveal about whether the company should purchase new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes.
Calculate the profitability index for keeping the old backhoes and purchasing new backhoes.
Discuss the profitability index of each, including what the calculations reveal about whether the company should purchase the new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes.

The text suggests a variety of places that entrepreneurs and business leaders find their ideas for a new enterprise. What do you do to “fire up your idea machine”? Where have you found good ideas for a new venture?
In your initial post, describe how you have motivated yourself to find new ideas and the idea that you are considering for your new venture. Respond to ideas presented by other members of the class, asking questions that will guide their thinking toward selection of their new venture.

Suppose Blue Thumb Tools is considering the introduction of a new, heavier hammer to be used for driving spikes. The new hammer will cost $490,000. The cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s five-year life, at the end of which the new hammer can be scrapped for $40,000. The new hammer will save the firm $146,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and it required an initial investment in net working capital of $35,000. The tax rate of the firm is 30%. What are the cash flows of firm’s new project (using a time line)?

1.Two countries, NZ and AUS, trade with each other. Some
industries in each country exhibit internal economies of scale
while other industries exhibit constant returns to scale. We should
NOT expect to see
Select one:
a. intra-industry trade between NZ and AUS.
b. inter-industry trade between NZ and AUS.
2.Suppose that we have the following inverse supply and inverse
demand functions for jandals in a small country called New
Zealand:
p = 20 + 2QS and p = 50 – QD
where QS and QD are measured in 1000’s of pairs of jandals. The
world price of jandals equals $36. New Zealand has a tariff equal
to $6 per pair of jandals. Which of the following is TRUE?
Select one:
a. The price of jandals in New Zealand is $42 per pair. New Zealand
will import 3,000 pairs of jandals.
b. The price of jandals in New Zealand is $40 per pair. New Zealand
will neither export nor import.
c. The price of jandals in New Zealand is $36 per pair. New Zealand
will import 6,000 pairs of jandals.
d. The price of jandals in New Zealand is $42 per pair. New Zealand
will export 3,000 pairs of jandals.
c. perfect competition in the industries that are subject to
internal economies of scale.
d. small number of firms in the industries that are subject to
internal economies of scale.

A solid, homogeneous sphere with a mass of m0, a radius of r0 and a density of ρ0 is placed in a container of water. Initially the sphere floats and the water level is marked on the side of the container. What happens to the water level, when the original sphere is replaced with a new sphere which has different physical parameters? Notation: r means the water level rises in the container, f means falls, s means stays the same.
a) r / f / s
The new sphere has a radius of r < r0 and a
density of ρ = ρ0.
The new sphere has a density of ρ = ρ0 and a mass of m
< m0.
The new sphere has a mass of m = m0 and a density of ρ
< ρ0.
b) r / f / s / r or s / f or s
The new sphere has a density of ρ > ρ0 and a mass of m = m0.
The new sphere has a density of ρ > ρ0 and a radius of r = r0.
The new sphere has a mass of m > m0 and a radius of r = r0.
c) r / f / s / r or s / f or s / r or f or s

What happens to the water level, when the original sphere is replaced with a new sphere which has different physical parameters? Notation: r means the water level rises in the container, f means falls, s means stays the same. Combination answers like 'f or s' are possible answers in some of the cases. (So for each, pick either r, s, or f- or a combo.. thank you)
