Methanol liquid burns readily in air.


One way to represent this equilibrium is:
CH3OH(l) + 3/2 O2(g) <-------->CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g

We could also write this reaction three other ways, listed below. The equilibrium constants for all of the reactions are related. Write the equilibrium constant for each new reaction in terms of K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction above.

1) 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) <-----> 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 O2(g) K1 =
2) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) <------> CH3OH(l) + 3/2 O2(g) K2 =
3) 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 O2(g) <-----> 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) K3 =

The company's capital rationing policy requires a maximum cash payback period of three years. In addition, a minimum average rate of return of 12% is required on all projects. If the preceding standards are met, the net present value method and present value indexes are used to rank the remaining proposals.

Required:

1. Compute the cash payback period for each of the four proposals.

Cash Payback Period
Proposal A 3 years 6 months
Proposal B 4 years
Proposal C 2 years
Proposal D 2 years 3 months

2. Giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investments and assuming no estimated residual value, compute the average rate of return for each of the four proposals. If required, round your answers to one decimal place.

Average Rate of Return
Proposal A %
Proposal B %
Proposal C %
Proposal D %

3. Using the following format, summarize the results of your computations in parts (1) and (2) by placing the calculated amounts in the first two columns on the left and indicate which proposals should be accepted for further analysis and which should be rejected. If required, round your answers to one decimal place.

Proposal Cash Payback Period Average Rate of Return Accept or Reject
A 3 years, 6 months % Reject
B 4 years % Reject
C 2 years % Accept
D 2 years, 3 months % Accept

4. For the proposals accepted for further analysis in part (3), compute the net present value. Use a rate of 15% and the present value of $1 table above. Round to the nearest dollar.

Select the proposal accepted for further analysis. Proposal C Proposal D
Present value of net cash flow total $ $
Less amount to be invested
Net present value $ $

5. Compute the present value index for each of the proposals in part (4). If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

Select proposal to compute Present value index. Proposal C Proposal D
Present value index (rounded)

6. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present values of net cash flows computed in part (4).

Rank 1st Proposal D
Rank 2nd Proposal C

7. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present value indexes computed in part (5).

Rank 1st Proposal C
Rank 2nd Proposal D

8. The analysis indicates that although Proposal D  has the larger net present value, it is not as attractive as Proposal C  in terms of the amount of present value per dollar invested. Proposal D  requires the larger investment. Thus, management should use investment resources for Proposal C  before investing in Proposal D , absent any other qualitative considerations that may impact the decision.

The task is to use mbed library with  Nucleo 64 bits STM32f303RE ARM board and the four red leds as lighting devices. There are five required levels of lighting, 1, 2, 3, 4 and off. The lighting level is controlled by the lightness/darkness detected by the LDR sensor, for example when it is very light, all the leds will be off, and when it is very dark all the four leds will be on. All the 5 levels of lighting will be corresponded to the evenly distributed ‘ReadIn’ value from the LDR. PWM control is not required for this task.

That is,  

[1.] when the darkness corresponding to 25% then one of the 4 led will be lit with 25% of duty cycle and  

[2.] when darkness is equivalent to 50% then the 2 of 4 LEDs will be lit with 50% duty cycle and   

[3.] when when darkness corresponds 75% then 3 of 4 LEDs will be lit with 75% duty cycle and    

[4.] with complete darkness all the 4 LEDs with be lit with 100% duty cycle of brightness

Depreciation by Three Methods; Partial Years

Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $65,070. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 7,020 operating hours, and a residual valueof $1,890. The equipment was used for 1,300 hours during Year 1, 2,500 hours in Year 2, 2,100 hours in Year 3, and 1,120 hours in Year 4.

Required:

Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.

Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.
