On December 31, 2017, Berclair Inc. had 400 million shares of common stock and 14 million shares of 9%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock issued and outstanding. On March 1, 2018, Berclair purchased 120 million shares of its common stock as treasury stock. Berclair issued a 6% common stock dividend on July 1, 2018. Four million treasury shares were sold on October 1. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018, was $700 million. Also outstanding at December 31 were 63 million incentive stock options granted to key executives on September 13, 2013. The options were exercisable as of September 13, 2017, for 63 million common shares at an exercise price of $60 per share. During 2018, the market price of the common shares averaged $70 per share. The options were exercised on September 1, 2018. Required: Compute Berclair’s basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. (Enter your answers in millions (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10).)

Explain why measuring acceleration of the cart while it is going up and down the ramp is a more accurate procedure to determine g than just letting it accelerate down the ramp. Hint: Make 2 sketches showing all important forces acting along the ramp during the up and then down trip. Base your argument on these sketches.

A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile\'s engine cooling system. If your car\'s cooling system holds 4.20 gallons, what is the boiling point of the solution? Make the following assumptions in your calculation: at normal filling conditions, the densities of engine coolant and water are 1.11 g/mL and 0.998 g/mL respectively. Assume that the engine coolant is pure ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH), which is non-ionizing and non-volatile, and that the pressure remains constant at 1.00 atm. Also, you\'ll need to look up the boiling-point elevation constant for water.

These post lab questions are regarding the spectroscopic determination of an equilibrium constant of an FeSCN complex where the wavelength was set at 447 nm. These are general questions about the effects on calculations each scenario would have... Sooooo
1. What would have happened to your absorbance reading and to your calculations of Keq if the spectrophotometer had been set at 520 nm rather then 447 nm? ) Clearly explain
2. How would your calculations of the concentration of FeSCN been affected if the cuvette had a 1.5 path length rather than a 1.0 cm path length you were told to use.
3. Finally, Would your equilbirium constant results been affected if you had swapped the volumes used of Fe and SCN?

In Chapter 8 of his book, Osberg writes, “When robots can make the robots that can do most of our current jobs, the “Age of Abundance” will be technically possible. It will then be technically feasible for all people to enjoy a full material standard of living and also enjoy many more hours of leisure in which to develop the full potential of their unique personalities.”
While this sounds like the dawning of a utopia, what are the challenges such technological improvement will have on our ability to ensure equitable prosperity? Discuss.
