Drug money extract in the 5.0 mL methanol containing cocaine gave a signal of 4.27 mV in a GC-FID experiment. Then 500 L of 20.0 ppm cocaine were added to the 5.0 mL methanolic extract. This spiked solution sample gave a signal of 7.98 mV. Find the concentration of cocaine in the original extract, in ppm, in mol/L, in g.

(a) Suppose you are given the following (x, y) data pairs. x: 1 2 6 y: 4 3 9 Find the least-squares equation for these data (rounded to three digits after the decimal). ŷ = + x
(b) Now suppose you are given these (x, y) data pairs. x 4 3 9 y 1 2 6 Find the least-squares equation for these data (rounded to three digits after the decimal). ŷ = + x
(c) In the data for parts (a) and (b), did we simply exchange the x and y values of each data pair? Yes No
(d) Solve your answer from part (a) for x (rounded to three digits after the decimal). x = + y Do you get the least-squares equation of part (b) with the symbols x and y exchanged? Yes No
(e) In general, suppose we have the least-squares equation y = a + bx for a set of data pairs (x, y). If we solve this equation for x, will we necessarily get the least-squares equation for the set of data pairs (y, x), (with x and y exchanged)? Explain using parts (a) through (d).
In general, switching x and y values produces the same least-squares equation.
In general, switching x and y values produces a different least-squares equation.
Switching x and y values sometimes produces the same least-squares equation and sometimes it is different.

Suppose the Madison city government imposes a price ceiling on the rental price of apartments.The demand for rental apartments is given by the equationP= 1500−0.2Q, and the supply is given by the equationP= 0.2Q+ 300.
(a) Without a price ceiling, what would be the equilibrium quantity and price? Calculate the consumer surplus (CS) and producer surplus (PS). Graph the demand and supply curves and shade the areas for CS and PS on the graph.
(b) Suppose the price ceiling is $700. How large a shortage will this create?
(c) Draw a graph representing the market outcome with the price ceiling. Calculate CS andPS.
(d) How does total surplus change due to the price ceiling?
(e) Suppose the government decided to instead implement a price ceiling that only created a shortage of 500 apartments. What price ceiling would accomplish this?

Magnolia Manufacturing makes wing components for large aircraft. Kevin Choi is the production manager, responsible for manufacturing, and Michelle Michaels is the marketing manager. Both managers are paid a flat salary and are eligible for a bonus. The bonus is equal to 1 percent of their base salary for every 10 percent profit that exceeds a target. The maximum bonus is 6 percent of salary. Kevin’s base salary is $190,000 and Michelle’s is $250,000.
The target profit for this year is $5 million. Kevin has read about a new manufacturing technique that would increase annual profit by 20 percent. He is unsure whether to employ the new technique this year, wait, or not employ it at all. Using the new technique will not affect the target.
Required:
a. Suppose that profit without using the technique this year will be $5 million. By how much will Kevin’s and Michelle’s bonus change if Kevin decides to employ the new technique? (Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.)
Kevin's bonus change = ?
Michelle's bonus change = ?
b. Suppose that profit without using the technique this year will be $7.5 million. By how much will Kevin’s and Michelle’s bonus change if Kevin decides to employ the new technique? (Round your intermediate percentage answers to nearest whole percent. Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.)
Kevin's bonus change = ?
Michelle's bonus change = ?

Various information about the proposed investment follows: Initial investment (for two hot air balloons) $ 370,000 Useful life 8 years Salvage value $ 58,000 Annual net income generated 27,750 BBS’s cost of capital 11 % Assume straight line depreciation method is used. Required: Help BBS evaluate this project by calculating each of the following: 1. Accounting rate of return. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) 2. Payback period. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 3. Net present value (NPV). (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.) 4. Recalculate the NPV assuming BBS's cost of capital is 14 percent. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.)
