Assignment Details:

Perform the following tasks:

• Complete the reading assignment and the interactive lesson before attempting this assignment.
• Select a recent news article about a life event of an individual. It can be health related, accident related, educational, or even achievement-oriented. It will be one "slice in the lifespan of that person." For example, you might select a story of someone who has achieved a major goal in life after experiencing a debilitating accident. An example would be Nick Vujicic. Or, you could choose the story of an individual who may be suspected of a developmental disorder, and who is involved in tragedy such as James Holmes. You are encouraged to Google these individuals and read about their stories for ideas for your own selection. Write an essay (approximately 150-175 words) in the space provided in the Assignment Worksheet section on page three addressing the following questions:

1. What is happening to this individual? Give a brief summary.
2. What stage of lifespan developmental stage/age is this person experiencing (i.e. Infant, child, adolescent, or adult and the chronological age)?
3. How might have the "twig" (person) been bent? Select at least three major developmentalist assumptions such as nature/nurture, behaviorism, genetic code, sociocultural, or any other developmental concepts from your textbook and discuss how these developmental concepts may have contributed to this person's situation before, during and after the life event featured in the news article.v

We first look at a particle that moves in a one-dimensional potential with form:
? (?) = ?₀ (1/2 ((? / ?) ^ 4) - ((? / ?) ^ 2)),
where ?₀ is a constant with unit Joule and ? a constant with unit meter. We can also imagine
a small sphere influenced by the gravitational acceleration ? that rolls along a roller coaster, where
the height above the ground can be described as:
ℎ (?) = ℎ₀ (1/2 ((? / ?) ^ 4) - ((? / ?) ^ 2)),
so that the potential energy of a mass of mass ? becomes:
? (?) = ??ℎ₀ (1/2 ((? / ?) ^ 4) - ((? / ?) ^ 2))

b) Show that the force acting on a mass of mass ? in position ? is:
? (?) = 2?? (ℎ₀ / ?) * (? / ?− ((? / ?) ^ 3))

c) Find the equilibrium points and characterize them as stable or unstable.

d) You release a particle without initial velocity at a position ?> 0. Where to escape from
that the particle should reach a position with ? <0?

We are now looking at a situation where a particle A with mass ?? = ? is released without initial velocity at
position ?? = −2?. A particle B with mass ?? = 2? is at rest in position ? = −?. The two particles
collide in an inelastic collision with the recovery coefficient
??? = - ((?_A,₁ - ?_B,₁) / (?_A,0 - v_B,0)) = 0.5
where ?_A,0 and ?_A,1 are the velocities of particle A immediately before and after the collision, and correspondingly
for particle B.

e) Find the velocity of particle A just before it collides with particle B at position ? = −?.

f) Find the velocities ?_A,1 and v_B,1 immediately after the collision.

House of Haddock has 5,130 shares outstanding and the stock price is $153. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $22 per share next year and thereafter the dividend is expected to grow indefinitely by 2% a year. The president, George Mullet, now makes a surprise announcement: He says that the company will henceforth distribute half the cash in the form of dividends and the remainder will be used to repurchase stock. The repurchased stock will not be entitled to the dividend.

After experiencing such great success with their food cart, Nathan and Cody are considering purchasing a food truck to serve other communities. This would allow the Great Tamale, GT, to reach even more customers in different geographic locations. There would be an increase in the selling price per plate. There will also be an increase in the fixed costs of $30,000 for advertising to inform the public of this change (this amount is already included below under Food Truck data).   The financial information is presented below for this alternative as well as the original data. Assume 31,125 plates are sold for the food cart and 45,625 plates are sold for the food truck.

If the company wishes each scenario, food cart and food truck, to generate target income of $250,000, what is the amount of sales that needs to be generated? How many plates will then need to be sold? Prepare a contribution margin statement for this step and verify that your income before taxes is $250,000 (after-tax net income in fact equals $170,000 at a tax rate of 32%) for both the food cart and food truck.

THE ANSWER SHOULD BE A TARGET INCOME OF $432,727 AND 61,819 UNITS FOR THE FOOD CART. $554,695 AND 69,337 UNITS FOR THE FOOD TRUCK. SHOW WORK.

Old variety: 3973, 4188, 4191, 3995, 4222, 3972, 3919, 4177, 4282, 3985.

Use the t-test of independent samples to determine whether the mean yields of the new and old varieties differ statistically significantly. Calculate the p-value.

1. C) Use the Levene test to determine whether the standard deviations of the yields of the new and old varieties differ statistically significantly in Question 1b. Calculate the p-value.

4. Price Index Problem: The following table gives information about weekly per capita food consumption and food prices in Russia before and after the 1917 Communist Revolution. Taking 1913 as the base year, calculate a Food Price Index for 1928 and 1940. Average weekly wages for the years covered in the table were 6 rubles in 1913, 14 rubles in 1928 and 83 rubles in 1940. Using the Food Price Indexes you have just calculated, assess what happened to the real wages of Russian workers between 1913 and 1940.

Excel Hydro took a loan contract which requires a payment of $40 million-plus interest two years after the contract's date of issue. The interest rate on the $40 million face value is 9.6% compounded quarterly. Before the maturity date, the original lender sold the contract to a pension fund for $43 million. The sale price was based on a discount rate of 8.5% compounded semi-annually from the date of sale.

Excel Hydro is also considering building a nuclear power plant, which will be ready for production in 2030. The country's governing body is also considering a decommissioning liability law for the operator to put aside $1 million every month towards decommissioning cost. If the production life of the plant is 60 years and the operator puts the money at the end of the month in a savings account, earning 7.25% compounded monthly.

During the 60 years of the production life of the plant, the operator will put $1 million at the end of the month in a savings account, earning 7.25% compounded monthly. At the end of the production life of the plant, there are no more contributions and the money is expected to grow at the rate of 6% compounded quarterly for the next 30 years.

1.       How many months before the maturity date did the sale take place?

2.       What will be the value of the decommissioning fund after 60 years of production?

3.       What will be the value of the decommissioning fund in 2120?

4.       How much interest is included in the future value in 2120?
