You are assigned to design the decision table of the year-end bonus. Everyone has a basic amount of $500. Anyone who worked for over 5 years would have an addition $2000. Anyone who got top sales at any month during the year would have an extra $1000. However, if anyone who got a warning from the company would drop all the bonuses. Draw the decision table based on the above information.

The isothermal reaction of A to B is a first order reaction in A. A 5,000 liter plug flow reactor is fed with A at concentration of 4 gmol/liter and volumetric flow of 800 L/min. At these conditions the conversion of A is 95%. We have two CSTRs that are 2000 and 7000 liters and can be place in series to replace the PFR.

a. Can the two CSTR’s in series provide 95% conversion in replacement of the PFR? Select a configuration for the two CSTRs and support your conclusion with calculations.

Mercury melts at 234K and boils at 298K at 2x10-3 torr of pressure. Heat is added to a sample containing 3.00 kg of mercury (Hg) at 238K. The rate of heating is 2000 watts. The pressure is constant and you can assume table values are not affected by reduced pressure or temperature. At what time will the mercury start to boil? How much time for the mercury to completely boil? How long until the mercury gas heats up to 498K?

A large share of the world supply of diamonds comes from Russia and South Africa. Suppose that the marginal cost of mining diamonds is constant at $2,000 per diamond, and the demand for diamonds is described by the following schedule:

Price Quantity (Dollars) Quantity(Diamonds)

8000 2000

7000 3000

6000 4000

5000 5000

4000 6000

3000 7000

2000 8000

1000 9000

If there were many suppliers of diamonds, the price would be _____ per diamond and the quantity sold would be _____ diamonds. If there were only one supplier of diamonds, the price would be _____ per diamond and the quantity sold would be _____ diamonds. Suppose Russia and South Africa form a cartel. In this case, the price would be _____ per diamond and the total quantity sold would be _____ diamonds. If the countries split the market evenly, South Africa would produce _____ diamonds and earn a profit of _____.

If South Africa increased its production by 1,000 diamonds while Russia stuck to the cartel agreement, South Africa's profit would ____ to ______. Why are cartel agreements often not successful?

One party has an incentive to cheat to make more profit.

Different firms experience different costs.

All parties would make more money if everyone increased production.

Time series are particularly useful to track variables such as revenues, costs, and profits over time. Time series models help evaluate performance and make predictions. Consider the following and respond in a minimum of 175 words:

  • Time series decomposition seeks to separate the time series (Y) into 4 components: trend (T), cycle (C), seasonal (S), and irregular (I). What is the difference between these components?
  • The model can be additive or multiplicative.When we do use an additive model? When do we use a multiplicative model?
  • The following list gives the gross federal debt(in millions of dollars) for the U.S. every 5 years from 1945 to 2000:

Consider the following reaction:

SO2Cl2(g)⇌SO2(g)+Cl2(g)

A reaction mixture is made containing an initial [SO2Cl2] of 2.2×10−2 M . At equilibrium, [Cl2]=1.3×10−2 M .

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc).

2.

Consider the following reaction:

CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g)

A reaction mixture in a 5.17-L flask at a certain temperature initially contains 27.4 g CO and 2.36 g H2. At equilibrium, the flask contains 8.67 gCH3OH.

Calculate the equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction at this temperature.

discussion topic :- In a few sentences, please describe the role the time value of money has played in a recent personal or professional financial decision you have made.

first person:-
Personal: I think most of the people in this class have an investment account, so do I. I put some of my paycheck in mutual fund account, it gains more value when I cash out. And also the earning rates are way better than just put in checking accounts.

Professional financial decision: The goal for my job is helping the client make most of their money( Help client get more future value). I met the customer asked me what’s the interest rate for two cash bonuses he got. There are two coupons for bringing new money and keep 90 days: put$75,000 to get $1000, put $250,000 to get $2000. After I calculate, the first interest rate is 5.4%(1000/75000*365/90). The second one is 3.2%(2000/250000*365/90). So put $75K money to earn $1000 is better.
