In a experiment we did with electromagnets, we used only one battery with a certain voltage and didn't change it out. So did the current stay constant if we used the same battery because the voltage stayed constant????
The purpose of the experiment was to manipulate the number of winds to increase the magnetic field strength.
Thanks

One of the key ways a firm may be a monopoly is through patent protection. Perhaps many of you heard of the infamous case of Martin Shkreli's price hike of a drug called Daraprim from $12.50 to $750 almost overnight (Links to an external site.). Specifically answer this prompt: Should there be a price ceiling placed on patented products? Why or why not? If so, how exactly would you set the price ceiling? Consider the incentives that such a policy may have in the short and long term.
A yes/no/maybe answer to the question with an explanation of your reasoning.Include a detailed and accurate application of one or more of the concepts: patent, legal barriers to entry, economic profit in the short run and long run.

Asset management ratios are used to measure how effectively a firm manages its assets, by relating the amount a firm has invested in a particular type of asset (or group of assets) to the amount of revenues the asset is generating. Examples of asset management ratios include the average collection period (also called the days sales outstanding ratio), the inventory turnover ratio, the fixed asset turnover ratio, and the total asset turnover ratio.
Consider the following case:
Monroe Manufacturing has a quick ratio of 2.00x, $34,875 in cash, $19,375 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $77,500, and total current liabilities of $27,125. The company reported annual sales of $800,000 in the most recent annual report.
Over the past year, how often did Monroe Manufacturing sell and replace its inventory?
2.86x
37.85x
34.41x
8.01x
The inventory turnover ratio across companies in the manufacturing industry is 37.851x. Based on this information, which of the following statements is true for Monroe Manufacturing?
Monroe Manufacturing is holding less inventory per dollar of sales compared with the industry average.
Monroe Manufacturing is holding more inventory per dollar of sales compared with the industry average.
You are analyzing two companies that manufacture electronic toys—Like Games Inc. and Our Play Inc. Like Games was launched eight years ago, whereas Our Play is a relatively new company that has been in operation for only the past two years. However, both companies have an equal market share with sales of $800,000 each. You’ve collected company data to compare Like Games and Our Play. Last year, the average sales for all industry competitors was $2,040,000. As an analyst, you want to make comments on the expected performance of these two companies in the coming year. You’ve collected data from the companies’ financial statements. This information is listed as follows: (Note: Assume there are 365 days in a year.)
Data Collected (in dollars)
| Like Games | Our Play | Industry Average | |
| Accounts receivable | 21,600 | 31,200 | 30,800 |
| Net fixed assets | 440,000 | 640,000 | 1,734,000 |
| Total assets | 760,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,876,800 |
Using this information, complete the following statements to include in your analysis.
| 1. | Our Play has days of sales tied up in receivables, which is much than the industry average. It takes Our Play time to collect cash from its customers than it takes Like Games. |
| 2. | Like Games’s fixed assets turnover ratio is than that of Our Play. This is because Like Games was formed eight years ago, so the acquisition cost of its fixed assets is recorded at historic values when the company bought its assets and has been depreciated since then. Assuming that fixed assets prices (not book values) rose over the past six years due to inflation, Our Play paid a amount for its fixed assets. |
| 3. | The average total assets turnover in the electronic toys industry is , which means that of sales is being generated with every dollar of investment in assets. A total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency. Both companies’ total assets turnover ratios are than the industry average. |

Integrativelong dashInvestment decision Holliday Manufacturing is considering the replacement of an existing machine. The new machine costs $ 1.20 million and requires installation costs of $ 150 comma 000. The existing machine can be sold currently for $ 185 comma 000 before taxes. It is 2 years old, cost $ 800 comma 000 new, and has a $ 384 comma 000 book value and a remaining useful life of 5 years. It was being depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period and therefore has the final 4 years of depreciation remaining. If it is held for 5 more years, the machine's market value at the end of year 5 will be $ 0. Over its 5-year life, the new machine should reduce operating costs by $ 350 comma 000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. The new machine can be sold for $ 200 comma 000 net of removal and cleanup costs at the end of 5 years. An increased investment in net working capital of $ 25 comma 000 will be needed to support operations if the new machine is acquired. Assume that the firm has adequate operating income against which to deduct any loss experienced on the sale of the existing machine. The firm has a 9.0 % cost of capital and is subject to a 40 % tax rate. a. Develop the relevant cash flows needed to analyze the proposed replacement. b. Determine the net present value (NPV) of the proposal. c. Determine the internal rate of return (IRR) of the proposal. d. Make a recommendation to accept or reject the replacement proposal, and justify your answer. e. What is the highest cost of capital that the firm could have and still accept the proposal?

8a. Until fairly recently, the FED did not pay interest on bank reserves but a few years ago the FED changed its policy and currently pays interest on bank reserves. Under its original policy, for every $100 in checkable deposits how much did banks sacrifice in lost interest income due to reserve requirements if a bank charged 11% on their loans to the public when the required reserve ratio was set at 8%?
8b. For every $100 in checkable deposits, how much would a bank lose in interest income (opportunity cost) due to reserve requirements if banks charged 16% on their loans to the public when the required reserve ratio was 15%? Finally, if you were an investor holding shares of common stock in a commercial bank, how are bank profits (and therefore your returns) affected by changes in the required reserve ratio? Similarly, how are bank profits affected by changes in the market interest rates which your bank charges on loans to the public?

Briefly explain the reasons why the unit price of an unlisted managed fund is likely to change on a regular basis. In addressing this question reference should be made to the various asset classes, their returns over time, how their returns impact unit price of the fund and also how cash distributions from the fund affect value and unit price of the fund.
