V & T Faces, Inc., would like to open a retail store in Miami. The initial investment to purchase the building is $420,000, and an additional $50,000 in working capital is required. Since this store will be operating for many years, the working capital will not be returned in the near future.

V & T Faces expects to remodel the store at the end of 3 years at a cost of $100,000. Annual net cash receipts from daily operations (cash receipts minus cash payments) are expected to be as follows:

The company’s required rate of return is 13 percent. Assume management decided to limit the analysis to 7 years.

1. What is the weakness of using the payback period method to evaluate long-term investments?
2. Assume the manager of the company wanted to live in Miami and intentionally inflated the projected annual cash receipts so that the proposal would be accepted. The proposal would otherwise have been rejected. Explain how the company’s use of a post audit would help to prevent this type of unethical behavior.

• An electron, at rest, is accelerated through region 1, which has a 5000 V potential difference. It then enters region 2 where there is only a uniform magnetic field and it undergoes uniform circular motion (in a plane) of radius 0.954 mm. After subtending half a circle, the electron exits region 2, traveling in the opposite direction it was before entering region 2. (a) Draw a physical representation of this situation, complete with the direction of the electric and magnetic fields in the two regions. (b) Is the initial point of the electron in region 1 necessarily at zero electric potential? (c) Is the electric field from the potential difference in region 1 necessarily uniform? (d) What is the orientation of the magnetic field in region 2, relative to the plane of motion? (e) What is the speed of the electron when it exits region 2? (f) What is the strength of the magnetic field in region 2?

The role of the play-within-a-play in Act V of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is often debated. What effect does the craftsmen’s production of their play have on the tone of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as a whole? Does the Pyramus and Thisbe story have any significance to the central story, or is it simply a comical break?

A 900 MW power station transmits power at a potential difference of 60, 000 V

a) Find the current.

b) Write down the equation for the resistance in terms of the resistivity.

c) If the power loss is 110 MW, over the length of the 200 km power line, find the resistivity of the line, if its cross section is 9 cm ².

d) Write down the equation for the magnetic field due to a long conductor.

e) Find the strength of the magnetic field for the current in part a, 20 m from the line.

f) You take a length of the line and wind it tightly, to form a solenoid of length L= 0.6 m. How many turns are in the solenoid?

g) What is the field inside the solenoid?

Consider a galvanic cell based on the following half reactions:

If this cell is set up at 25°C with [Ni²⁺] = 1.00 × 10^-3M and [Al³⁺] = 2.00 × 10^-2M, the expected cell potential is what?

Using the relationship for internal pressure π_T = T (∂P/∂T)_V – P, show that for a gas that obeys a truncated virial equation of state: Z = PV_m/RT = 1 + B(T)/V_m, the internal pressure may be approximated as π_T ≈ RT²(V_m)^-2∙(ΔB/ΔT). Estimate the internal pressure at 1.0 bar and also at 10.0 bar for a hypothetical real gas at 275K given

that B(T) = -28.0 cm³⋅mol^-1 at 250K and -15.6 cm³⋅mol^-1 at 300K for this gas.

An atomic nucleus of mass m traveling with speed v collides elastically with a target particle of mass 2m (initially at rest) and is scattered at 90°. (a) At what angle does the target particle move after the collision? (b) What are the final speeds of the two particles? (c) What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is transferred to the target particle?
