Jones and Smith share the same cubical in the office. Jones loves to listen to music on his speakers while working. Smith is not able to concentrate on his work in the presence of music.

Jones receives benefits worth​ $200 regardless of whether he listens to music on his speakers or headphones. The cost of headphones is​ $50. Smith is not able to concentrate on his work and suffers damages worth​ $350 when Jones listens to music without his headphones. Smith does not suffer any damages when Jones listens to music on his headphones.

Suppose the office does not have any rules against listening to music on speakers while working.

In this​ case, if Jones and Smith do not​ communicate, the market outcome is that

Jones continues to listen to music on his speakers; therefore, Smith is not able to concentrate on his work

Jones continues to listen to music on his speakers; however, Smith is able to concentrate on his work

Jones starts listening to music on headphones; therefore, Smith is able to concentrate on his work

Jones stops listening to music on his speakers; therefore, Smith is able to concentrate on his work

.

This market outcome is

socially efficient

socially inefficient

.

Which of the following is the outcome of bargaining when Jones and Smith can bargain at zero​ cost?

A.

A private deal between Jones and Smith cannot be struck as headphones are not free.

B.

Jones gives​ $350 to Smith and continues to listen to music on speakers.

C.

Smith starts listening to music on his speakers at a higher volume so as to cause disturbance to Jones. As a​ result, both of them suffer the damages worth more than​ $350.

D.

Smith gives​ $50 to​ Jones, and Jones agrees to listen to music using his headphones.

Now suppose their office passes a rule that says employees are not allowed to listen to music on their speakers while working. As​ before, Jones and Smith can bargain at a zero cost.

What will be the final outcome in this​ case?

A.

Smith stops listening to music and both of them receive net benefits worth more than​ $350.

B.

Jones buys headphones to listen to​ music, and both of them suffer damages worth more than​ $200.

C.

Jones buys headphones to listen to​ music, giving him net benefits worth​ $150. Smith does not suffer any damages.

D.

Smith gives Jones headphones as a​ gift, giving Jones net benefits worth​ $150 and Smith suffers damages worth​ $300.

When Jones and Smith can bargain at zero​ cost, the new rule of the office has

NEED DONE IN AN HOUR

File 1 - HotTubLastname.java

  • Write a class that will hold fields for the following:
    • The model of the hot tub
    • The hot tub’s feature package (can be Basic or Premium)
    • The hot tub’s length (in inches)
    • The hot tub’s width (in inches)
    • The hot tub’s depth (in inches)
  • The class should also contain the following methods:
    • A constructor that doesn’t accept arguments
    • A constructor that accepts arguments for each field.
    • Appropriate accessor and mutator methods (i.e., setters and getters).
    • A method named getCapacity that accepts no arguments and calculates and returns the capacity (in gallons) of the hot tub.

The capacity of the hot tub can be calculated by using the following formula:

Capacity in gallons = (Length * Width * Depth) / 1728 * 4.8

    • A method named getPrice that accepts no arguments and calculates and returns the price of the hot tub based on the following table:

Hot Tub Capacity

Package

Cost Per Gallon

Less than 350 gallons

Basic

$5.00

Less than 350 gallons

Premium

$6.50

350 but not more than 500 gallons

Price = Cost Per Gallon * Capacity

File 2 - DemoLastname.java

  • Write a program that demonstrates the class and calculates the cost of hot tubs. The program should ask the user for the following:
    • The model of the hot tub
    • The hot tub’s feature package (can be Basic or Premium)
    • The hot tub’s length (in inches). The program should not accept a number less than 60 for the length.
    • The hot tub’s width (in inches). The program should not accept a number less than 60 for the width.
    • The hot tub’s depth (in inches). The program should not accept a number less than 30 for the depth.
  • The program should prompt the user for all the data necessary to fully initialize the objects. IMPORTANT: Store your objects in a container that will automatically expand as objects are added.
  • The program should continue allowing the user to input information until the user indicates to stop (see sample input on page 3). Note: The program should accept lower or upper case responses to this question.
  • After the user indicates that they wish to stop, the program should output the information for each hot tub.
    • The capacity of the hot tub should be formatted to two decimal places.
    • The price of the hot tub should be formatted as currency to two decimal places and include a comma in the thousands place.
  • After the program outputs the information for each hot tub, it should output the total cost of all of the hot tubs.
  • The program should display the input and output as shown in the provided sample output (Note: this includes blank lines).

At 1 atm and 25 ˚C the molar entropy change for the reaction CO(g) + 1 2 O2(g)  CO2(g) (1) is ΔSo = - 86.46 J K-1. The molar heat capacities at constant pressure at 1 atm and 25 ˚C for CO, O2, and CO2 are, respectively, 29.123, 29.362, and 37.12 J K-1 mol-1. Assume that the heat capacities are independent of temperature and calculate the entropy change for reaction (1) at 100 ˚C and 1 atm.
