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.

Required: Use the CVP Equation Method (& template) to Analyze:

  1. If Coach hires the needed number of assistant coaches, incurs the commission and realizes all of the averages above, what would be her weekly pre-tax profit? To determine this, identify whether each cost is variable or fixed and setup a CM Template (as shown in class) to confirm all data relationships. Next use the equation method (i.e. S – VC – FC = “something”) to notate your analysis. Third, return to the CM template and confirm your work and “prove” your answer.

  1. Assuming Coach hires the required number of coaches to support her planned enrollments, what would be her break-even point in the number of campers and in sales dollars?   Again, use the equation approach to develop (notate) an equation to address this question. Once determined, prepare a new CM template to prove your answer.
  1. Assuming Coach hires the required number of coaches to support her planned enrollments, what weekly per-camper fee would enable coach to earn an after-tax weekly profit of $2,400 assuming the expected number of campers is realized? Assume a 40% income tax rate. Hint: Make sure to consider how you will “notate” the commission (which will be a function of weekly fee charged). In other words, keep the commission separate from the other variable costs as you prepare your equation. When completed, return to your CM Template to confirm your answer.

  1. List two qualitative (i.e. subjective) considerations that, in your opinion, may affect this decision. In essence, what else should Coach consider before committing to this venture?  
  1. Marketing Dept Question: Based upon your answer in PART C, what camper fee would you recommend Coach Cassi actually charge (and include in her marketing brochures)? Why?

  1. As consultant, what would you charge (invoice) Coach for your analysis and professional services?

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.

Test Tube

Solids

Solvents

Precipitate

A

1.0 g maleic acid

3.0 mL 6 M HCl

Yes

B

1.0 g maleic acid

3.0 mL 3 M H2SO4

No

C

1.0 g maleic acid

0.5 g ammonium chloride

3.0 mL distilled water

No

D

1.0 g maleic acid

0.5 g ammonium chloride

3.0 mL 6 M HCl

Yes

E

1.0 g malic acid

3.0 mL 6 M HCl

No

F

1.0 g maleic acid

1.5 mL distilled water

2.0 mL conc. HBr

Yes

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.

Anybody answer this?

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 .
