Cassi Cronin is the Women’s head varsity hockey coach at USGB University. She has enjoyed considerable success over the years and is considering starting a summer hockey camp. USGB University would charge Coach for rooms, meals and ice-rink time for participants, plus a 10% commission based upon the price charged to campers. Coach Cassi has heard of the CVP experts in Acct 2220 and is asking for your help (and she is willing to pay!). You state that some of the important factors in analyzing such an opportunity involve setting fees, predicting enrollments and estimating the behavior of costs. Accordingly, planning ahead involves estimates and assumptions. Coach has provided estimates as follows:
|
Expected/Planned enrollments each week |
90 campers |
|
Average price to be charged for one-week of camp |
$225 per camper |
|
Estimated Costs: |
|
|
Asst coaches’ salaries |
$550 per coach per week |
|
Campus food/dining for campers |
$40 per camper |
|
Health insurance and fancy USGB T-shirts |
$15 per camper |
|
Room rent charged by university |
$28 per camper |
|
Ice Arena & locker room charge (by University) |
$2,000/week, plus 10% of camper fee |
|
Admin, marketing brochures, mailings, etc. |
$2,700 for each week |
Coach Cassi states that other camps have typically employed one assistant coach for each 15 campers, excluding the director (Cassi in this case). One problem is that you need to hire the coaches before you know the enrollments, although it is usually possible to find one or two at the last minute. It is, however, important to hire most of the assistant coaches early so you can use their names in the marketing brochures. Further, while the enrollment and prices given are averages, variations exist, with enrollments generally ranging from 60 to 110 and weekly camper fees ranging from $160 to $330. As might be expected, the better-known camps have higher enrollments at higher prices, but they also pay more for more well-known coaches. Coach Cassi will keep any profits (or suffer any losses), so she wants to be fairly confident before proceeding with this venture.

Deducing a Reaction Mechanism for the Isomerization of Maleic acid to fumaric acid. I'm completing my organic chemistry lab report and answering questions and I have very confused and would appreciate any help and explanation please. I appreciate it.

Possible Mechanisms for the Isomerization.
1. Maleic acid is activiated by visible light, and then rearranges to form fumaric acid. In this mechanism, the pi-bond is momentarily broken, allowing for the free rotation to give the more stable trans isomer. The double bond then reforms.
2. The rearrangement of maleic acid to fumaric acid is accomplished by the thermal excitation of the molecule. In this mechanism, the pi-bond is broken by the application of heat. As described above, this would allow rotation to occur and form the more stable trans isomer.
3. A nudeophilic addition of a chloride ion to maleic acid again permits free rotation, followed by release of the Cl- ion to produce fumaric acid.
4. An electrophilic addition of a proton to maleic acid, followed by rotation and then deprotonation.
5. Water adds to maleic acid (under acid catalysis) to form laic acid. Malic acid then rotates to a new conformation and elimenates water to form fumaric acid.
6. The addition of a proton to maleic acid leads to the formation of a lactone (cyclic ester) which undergoes a ring opening reaction to yield malic acid. Malic acid is then dehydrated to give fumaric acid.
7. A proton adds to the carbonyl oxygen to give an intermediate with a number of resonance structures. One of these resonance structures can freely rotate and deprotonation to give fumaric acid.
8. A proton adds to the carbonyl oxygen, followed by an addtion of a chloride ion. The product of this 1,4 addition then undergoes a free rotation, and hydrochloric acid is eliminated to produce fumaric acid.
So, I understand that I can go through a process and eliminate the first 7 reaction mechanisms to chose the last one #8 is close to the true state of affairs.
But I am struggling answering these questions, if anyone can help and provide an explanation I'd greatly appreciate it.
Questions #1: 1. Is visible light solely responsible for the isomerization of maleic acid to fumaric acid? Explain.
2. If the isomerization of maleic acid to fumaric acid is a thermal effect, which test tubes should contain fumaric acid?
3. For mechanism 3 to be correct, which test tubes should contain fumaric acid?
4. For mechanism 4 to be correct, which test tubes should contain fumaric acid?
5. For mechanism 5 to be correct, which test tubes must contain fumaric acid?
6. Which test might rule out mechanism 6 as a possibility?
7. For mechanism 7 to be correct, which test tubes must contain fumaric acid?
8. For mechanism 8 to be correct, which test tubes must contain fumaric acid?
Then these questions:
1. Does sulfuric acid, which ionizes to give a negatively charged sulfate ion, induce the isomerization of maleic acid to fumaric acid? Explain.

Calculate the moment of inertia of the letter E rotating about its lower horizontal segment. In other words, the lower segment is the axis of rotation. The length of each horizontal segment is L, and the length of the vertical segment is 2L. The total mass of the system is M, and all segments have the same linear density. FYI, the moment of inertia of a thin rod about one end is 1/3 x mass x (length)2 .

You are getting ready to start a new project that will incur some cleanup and shutdown costs when it is completed. The project costs $ 5.39 million up front and is expected to generate $ 1.17 million per year for 10 years and then have some shutdown costs at the end of year 11. Use the MIRR approach to find the maximum shutdown costs you could incur and still meet your cost of capital of 14.9 % on this project. The maximum shutdown costs allowable to still have a positive NPV is $ nothing. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
