Java Logic - the idea is for this Plumbers.java to ask the customer if there house is flooded , how many rooms, if pipes were damaged and if so how many.. then to pas that information into the plumber constructore and the bill for the services. The ComputePrice() isn't displaying the info and the switches aren't taking in the informations in the display().

In 2009, Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman wrote, “The paradox of thrift is one of those Keynesian insights that largely dropped out of economic discourse. Now it’s back as a concept.”
Either: Use the following data to explain the paradox of thrift:
Y = C ​​+ Ig ​+ G ​+ Xn
Y = 50 + .9Y ​+ 50 ​+ 50 ​+ 50
What is the savings function where S = -a + (1-b)Y?
Find equilibrium GDP (solve for Y)?
Use the answer to determine the level of S
Now suppose Savings increases by $10 so Consumption decreases by $10
Find the new equilibrium GDP and calculate the savings function and level of Savings.
Use your answer to explain the paradox of thrift.
Or: Describe in words and in a graph why the paradox of thrift is truly a paradox.

GOAL Apply the more general definition of torque. PROBLEM (a) A man applies a force of F = 3.00 102 N at an angle of 60.0° to the door of Figure (a), 2.00 m from the hinges. Find the torque on the door, choosing the position of the hinges as the axis of rotation. (b) Suppose a wedge is placed 1.50 m from the hinges on the other side of the door. What minimum force must the wedge exert so that the force applied in part (a) won't open the door? STRATEGY Part (a) can be solved by substitution into the general torque equation. In part (b) the hinges, the wedge, and the applied force all exert torques on the door. The door doesn't open, so the sum of these torques must be zero, a condition that can be used to find the wedge force. SOLUTION (A) Compute the torque due to the applied force exerted at 60.0°. Substitute into the general torque equation. τF = rFsin θ = (2.00 m)(3.00 ✕ 102 N) sin 60.0° = (2.00 m)(2.60 ✕ 102 N) = 5.20 102 N · m (B) Calculate the force exerted by the wedge on the other side of the door. Set the sum of the torques equal to zero. τhinge + τwedge + τF = 0 The hinge force provides no torque because it acts at the axis (r = 0). The wedge force acts at an angle of −90.0°, opposite the upward 260 N component. 0 + Fwedge(1.50 m) sin (−90.0°) + 5.20 ✕ 102 N · m = 0 Fwedge = 347 N LEARN MORE REMARKS Notice that the angle from the position vector to the wedge force is −90°. This is because, starting at the position vector, it's necessary to go 90° clockwise (the negative angular direction) to get to the force vector. Measuring the angle in this way automatically supplies the correct sign for the torque term and is consistent with the right-hand rule. Alternately, the magnitude of the torque can be found and the correct sign chosen based on physical intuition. Figure (b) illustrates the fact that the component of the force perpendicular to the lever arm causes the torque. QUESTION To make the wedge more effective in keeping the door closed, should it be placed closer to the hinge or to the doorknob? closer to the hinge closer to the doorknob PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. (a) A man applies a force of F = 3.00 102 N at an angle of 60.0° to a door, x = 2.10 m from the hinges. Find the torque on the door, choosing the position of the hinges as the axis of rotation. N · m (b) Suppose a wedge is placed 1.50 m from the hinges on the other side of the door. What minimum force must the wedge exert so that the force applied in part (a) won't open the door? N EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING STARTED | I'M STUCK!

23- Celsius Corp. is conducting a capital budgeting analysis to decide whether to invest in a new project which has an expected life of 5 years. The following information is available:

  • The installed cost of the new equipment is $360,000. Installation will cost an additional $40,000 The equipment will be depreciated using 5-year MACRS depreciation over the 5-year life of the project.
  • An initial NOWC investment equal to 10 percent of year 1 sales will also be required.
  • The equipment is expected to have a salvage value of $80,000 at the end of the project's life.
  • Forecasted sales in year 1 is $600,000 with a gross margin (excluding depreciation) of 40%. Sales is expected to increase 5% per year over the 5-year life of the project.
  • Additional NOWC investments equal to 10 percent of the expected increase in sales will also be required each year.
  • Interest expense from a loan used to finance the project will result in annual interest payments of $28,000 each year over the 5-year life of the project.
  • Celsius has a 21% corporate tax rate.

What are the after-tax net proceeds from the sale of the equipment in year 5? (Round to the nearest dollar)
