A. Imagine that your lab group (which may or may not be taking physics in an alternate reality) creates a string with screws at positions 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, and 5m. You drop this string from a height of 5m, just as the lab instructions tell you to do, and you notice that the time intervals between screws hitting the cookie sheet get larger with each screw. The first two impacts are close together, then a little farther apart, then farther, and farther. Assume that all your measurements and observations are more or less accurate and that you performed your drop correctly. What would you conclude from your data about the behavior of objects in free fall?

B. Now imagine that you are living in a world where free-falling objects have an upwards jerk (i.e. a negative jerk if down is positive). In other words, they accelerate downwards, but the downwards acceleration gets smaller and smaller with each beat.

i. Design a pattern of bolt positions that might produce a steady rhythm in this imaginary world. Think hard. This is hard. BIG Hint: to do this, you will have to pick some arbitrary, large downwards acceleration to start out with, and some small constant upwards jerk (amount the acceleration shrinks by for each beat). But remember: jerk is a change in acceleration, not a change in velocity! Show ALL work relating to your pattern.

ii. Draw both a position and a displacement diagram for your pattern.

iii. Using math, words, & diagrams (as necessary), explain why your pattern should produce a steady rhythm in the imaginary world where free-fall acceleration is downward but jerk is upward: i.e. justify your solution.

1. The Toronto Diner, opened as a sole proprietorship by Felix Fudd, recorded the following transactions during its initial mon of operations:

a. Rented facilities for $3,000 per month and paid the lessor $9,000 for the first three months

. b. Purchased equipment costing $30,000 on the first of the month. The diner put 20 percent down and borrowed the remainder from Second Bank. (Equipment will be depreciated over sixty months using the straight-line method. Assume a $3,000 salvage value.)

c. Sold 1,800 meals during the month at an average sales price of $15. Twenty percent of the meals were sold on account, while the remainder were cash sales. None of the charges were collected by the end of the month.

d. Cost of food sold percentage is 30%. Food purchases totaled $10,000 during the first month, of which 60 % were paid for during the month.

e. Paid labor costs of 30 % of sales during the month.

f. Paid all other expenses, which totaled $6,000 with cash. g. Felix opened the business on the first of the month by investing $50,000 h. Felix’s tax rate is 30%. Taxes will be paid subsequent to the first month. Determine the net income for the first month of business by filling in the correct amounts below using the information above. Revenue Net sales Expenses Cost of Goods Sold Wages expense Rent Expense Depreciation Expense Other expenses Income before income taxes Income tax expense Net Income 2. Determine the total sources and use of cash for the first month by filling in the correct amounts below using the information from question 7. Cash sources and uses: Paid rent for next 3 months Down payment for equipment Cash sales Food purchases Labor Other expenses Felix equity

You have been called in as a consultant for Palo, Inc a manufacturer of shower radios. Although Palo's management is very happy they reported $2,478 more in net operating income for the month than expected, they want to know why net operating income is higher especially since demand for the radios dropped. Information regarding the most recent month follows:

Standard Information:

Actual Information:

Actual quantity of materials used and purchased is 23,100 pounds.

Actual amount spent on direct materials is $117,117

Average rate paid for direct labor for the month was $14.40 per hour

The only variance in variable manufacturing overhead was due to activity level.

Required:  

Prepare a memo, in good form, to Palo's management explaining why actual net income was higher than budget. Also make a recommendation as to what items they might want to investigate using a 5% variance from the flexible budget as your guide.    Keep these things in mind when preparing your memo:

1) You should provide specific evidence to support your explanation.

2) Explanations should lead with the item having the most significant impact.

3) Your memo should be prepared in good form. Remember to use the guidelines provided from the previous memo assignment.

4) You need to include a visual( a graph) to help communicate your explanation and/or recommendation.

Keep in mind that Palo's Management are not accountants but possess general business knowledge(explain in layman's terms).

this is all the data/info/details that are given; which is why I am seeking help lol.

Which of the following statements about the Information Age is true?

As the world civilizations were sequentially moving through the Stone, Agricultural, Industrial and Informational ages, the average life expectancy has been slowly but steadily increasing.

Improvements in the quality of goods and services in the informational age are not easily captured by the common measures of nations' economic output, such as GDP.

Modern economists predict that somewhere around the year 2100 most countries in the word will attain the status of a developed country, with population growth rates in such countries stabilizing around 6%.

During the Information Age, the Malthusian Hypothesis still dominates thinking on population trends.

The examples of sharp declines in life expectancy and negative population growth rates can now be found only in the history of civilizations, not in the Information Age any more.

Consider three markets—rum, sugarcane, and whiskey. Suppose that all three markets are initially at equilibrium. A drought destroys much of the world sugar cane crop. Sugarcane is a main ingredient in rum, but sugarcane is not an ingredient in whiskey.

a. Use graphs to analyze the effect of the drought on the markets for each of the three goods. In other words, what will happen to prices and quantities in the markets for sugarcane, the market for rum, and the market for whiskey?

b. What happens to revenues for sugarcane growers, rum producers and whiskey producers? How do supply and demand elasticities affect your answer to this question?

c. Based on your analysis, compare the impacts of this drought on consumers, sugar cane producers, rum producers, and whiskey producers. Who is impacted the most by the drought? (Consider prices, quantities, and any possible offsetting responses by the affected parties.)
