Two capacitors are identical, except that one is empty and the other is filled with a dielectric (κ = 4.69). The empty capacitor is connected to a 11.0-V battery. What must be the potential difference across the plates of the capacitor filled with a dielectric so that it stores the same amount of electrical energy as the empty capacitor?

You have been asked for your advice in selecting a portfolio of assets and have been given the following data:
Expected return
Year Asset A Asset B Assets C 2016 12% 16% 12% 2017 14 14 14 2018 16 12 16
You have been told that you can create two portfolios, one consisting of assets A and B and other consisting of assets A and C, by investing equal proportions (50%) in each of the two component assets.
(a) What is the expected return for each asset over the 3 year period?
(b) What is the standard deviation for each asset’s return?
(c) What is the expected return for each of the two portfolios?
(d) How would you characterize the correlations of returns of the two assets making up each of the two portfolios identified in part c?
(e) What is the standard deviation for each portfolio?
(f) Which portfolio do you recommend? Why?

For this week’s lab assignment, you will write a program called lab9.c. You will write a program so that it contains two functions, one for each conversion. The program will work the same way and will produce the same exact output. The two prototypes should be the following: int btod(int size, char inputBin[size]); int dtob(int inputDec); The algorithm for the main() function should be the following: 1. Declare needed variables
2. Prompt user to enter a binary number
3. Use scanf() to get that value
4. If getting it as a string, use strlen() to find the length of the string
5. Call btod() function sending to it the size and the value that was entered by the user and save the return value so the result can be printed out
6. Prompt user to enter a decimal number
7. Use scanf() to get that value
8. Call dtob() function saving the return value in a variable so the result can be printed out
Don’t forget to break the program into smaller steps and compile and run AFTER EACH STEP.

smaller quantities than to consumers who buy larger quantities,
then

monopoly.
B) social welfare is larger than under perfect competition.
C) the monopoly's profits are larger than under single-price
monopoly.

9) Two firms sell 100% orange juice in 10-ounce bottles. The
juice is only good for one week. The two firms have contracts for
all the oranges produced in a large geographic area. Each firm
decides how many bottles of juice to produce at the same time. This
market is best described with a
A) Bertrand model.
B) Stackelberg model.
