You are asked to evaluate the following two projects for the Norton corporation. Use a discount rate of 12 percent. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

  
a. Calculate the profitability index for project X. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

  
b. Calculate the profitability index for project Y. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

c. Which project would you select based on the profitability index?

• Project X

• Project Y

1. Consider the following set of processes, with the length of the CPU burst given in milliseconds

      Process            Burst Time      Priority

      P1                    2                      2

      P2                    1                      1

      P3                    8                      4

      P4                    4                      2

      P5                    5                      3

The processes are assumed to have arrived in the order P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, all at time 0,

a. Draw four Gantt charts that illustrate the execution of these processes using the   following scheduling algorithms: FCFS, SJF, nonpreemptive priority (a larger priority number implies a higher priority), and RR (Quantum =2).

b. What is the turnaround time of each process for each of these scheduling algorithms? Give a table to list all results.

c. what is the waiting time of each process for each of the scheduling algorithms? Give a table to list all results.

d. which of the algorithms results in the minimum average waiting time (over all processes)

A 35-year-old man presents to the emergency department with complaints of chest pain. The pain improves by leaning forward. On review, he has noted a flu-like illness over the last several days including fever, runny nose and cough. Upon further investigation his blood test indicates signs/parameters for infection. He denies tobacco, alcohol or drug use. His head and neck examination is notable for clear mucus in the nasal passages. However, his jugular venous pressure is high. Also, during his cardiac examination a high pitched squeaky sound/knock is heard. Abdominal and extremity examinations are normal.

1) What is the likely diagnosis of this patient?(1 mark) CLO4 and 6

2) What is the pathogenesis process that lead to the development of this condition and what complications can occur? (1 mark) CLO2 and 4

3) What is the cause of this disease in this patient? (1 mark) CLO2 and 4

4) What other conditions could cause the same clinical scenario in a patient of this age? (1 mark)CLO2 and 4

ssume that Colombia had 1,600,000 workers and Mexico had 800,000 workers, respectively. This is the only factor input to produce beef and fish.  

Units of labor required per unit of output:

     Colombia   Mexico

Beef 4      4

   Fish   8      2

Please sketch the PPFs (put beef on the horizontal axis) and find the following numbers:

(1) The maximum possible output of beef in Colombia.

(2) The autarky price ratio (the price of beef divided by the price of fish) in Mexico.

Now, discuss the situation when two countries agree to exchange two goods freely with Pbeef=$4 and Pfish=$4.

(3) Explain why each country completely specializes to produce its comparative advantage good.

(4) Assume that B (F) is the quantity of beef (fish) consumption in Colombia in the free trade equilibrium. Write a mathematical expression of the consumption possibility frontier for Colombia.

A researcher is interested in determining if THC affects short-term memory. He randomly assigns 28 participants to receive either a THC pill or a placebo before completing a memory test. Perform the appropriate t test with α = .05 to find out.

a. In Excel, Calculate tobt by creating a spreadsheet formula and use the TTEST function to determine p

b. In Excel, Create a bar graph depicting the means for the two experimental groups (with estimated standard error of the mean error bars displayed).

c. Insert a textbox reporting your statistical and research conclusion in words.

Ashley Company engaged in the following transactions in August 20x1:

Aug. 4 Purchased merchandise on account at a cost of $ 14,000; terms 2/10, n/30, FOB shipping Point.

Aug. 6 Paid freight of $200 on the purchase of August 4.

Aug. 10 Sold goods for $10,000; terms 2/10, n/30. The cost of goods sold is $9,000.

Aug. 12 Returned to the vendor, $2,400 worth of the merchandise purchased on August 4.

Aug. 14 Paid the amount due on the purchase of August 4.

Requirement:

1) Using the template, prepare journal entry for Ashley transactions assuming:

i) Periodic system.

ii) Perpetual system.

For the reaction A + B + 2C = 3D at 25 Celsius, the following initial rate data were obtained:

Experiment #1: [A] = 0.1M, [B] = 0.1M, [C] = 0.2M, Initial Rate of Formation for D = 4 e -4 M/min

Experiment #2: [A] = 0.3M, [B] = 0.2M, [C] = 0.2M, Initial Rate of Formation for D = 1.2 e -3 M/min

Experiment #3: [A] = 0.1M, [B] = 0.3M, [C] = 0.2M, Initial Rate of Formation for D = 4 e -4 M/min

Experiment #4: [A] = 0.3M, [B] = 0.4M, [C] = 0.6M, Initial Rate of Formation for D = 3.6 e -3 M/min

If Experiment #2 is repeated at 50 Celsius and the initial rate is measured to be 1.6 e -3 M/min, what is the activation energy?

PLEASE PROVIDE ALL STEPS! :)
