1) Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by y=x^2, y=0, and x=5, about the y-axis.

V=

2) Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by y=x^2, y=0, and x=6, about the yy-axis.

V=

3)The region bounded by f(x)=−3x^2+15x+18f(x)=-3x2+15x+18, x=0x=0, and y=0y=0 is rotated about the y-axis. Find the volume of the solid of revolution.

Find the exact value; write answer without decimals.

4) Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded on the right by the graph of g(y)=4/y and on the left by the y-axis for 1≤y≤11, about the x-axis. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth position.

Company Q’s current return on equity (ROE) is 13%. The firm pays out 45 percent of its earnings as cash dividends. (payout ratio = .45). Current book value per share is $58. Book value per share will grow as Q reinvests earnings.

Assume that the ROE and payout ratio stay constant for the next four years. After that, competition forces ROE down to 11.0% and the payout ratio increases to .80. The cost of capital is 11.0%.

a. What are Q’s EPS and dividends in years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

b. What is Q’s stock worth per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Depreciation Schedules & Disposals Madrigal Corporation acquired a new vehicle for $82,000. The asset has a 5 year expected useful life and a residual value of $7,000. Prepare depreciation schedules for all five years under both the straight-line and double-declining balance methods.

Straight Line Method

Double- Declining Balance Method

Calculate the gain or loss if the company uses the straight-line method and sells the asset for $47,000 at the beginning of year 3, and record the entry. (HINT: Use NBV at the end of Year 2!)

Calculate the gain or loss if the company uses the double-declining-balance method and sells the asset for $47,000 at the beginning of year 3 and record the entry. (HINT: Use NBV at the end of Year 2!)

In analyzing hits by bombs in a past war, a city was subdivided into 487 regions, each with an area of 1-mi². A total of 389 bombs hit the combined area of 487 regions. The Poisson distribution applies because we are dealing with the occurrences of an event (bomb hits) over some interval (a region with area of 1-mi².

Find the mean number of hits per region:
mean =

Find the standard deviation of hits per region:
standard deviation =

If a region is randomly selected, find the probability that it was hit exactly twice.
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
P(X=2)=P(X=2)=

Based on the probability found above, how many of the 487 regions are expected to be hit exactly twice?
(Round answer to a whole number.)
ans =

If a region is randomly selected, find the probability that it was hit at most twice.
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
P(X≤2)=P(X≤2)=

Design a program (in C++)to calculate the stock purchasing and selling transactions.

1. ask the user to enter the name of the stock purchased, the number of share purchased, and the price per share purchased

2. assume the buyer pays 2% of the amount he paid for the stock purchase as broker commission

3. assume that the buyer sold all stocks. Ask the user to enter the price per share sold.

4. assume the buyer will pay another 2% of the amount he received for selling the stock as broker commission

the program will calculate and display:

1. the amount of money he paid for the stock purchase

2. the amount of commission he paid to the broker for purchase transaction

3. the amount he sold the stock for

4. the amount of commission he paid to the broker for purchase selling

5. the possible profit he made after selling his stock and paying the two commissions to the broker
