| are shown in the following LP formulation. | |||||||||
| Maximize Z = 10 x1 + 6 x2 + 8 x3 (profit, $) | |||||||||
| subject to | |||||||||
| 20 x1 + 10 x2 + 16 x3 <= 320 (pears, lbs) | |||||||||

n = 4.67 mol of Hydrogen gas is initially at T = 345.0 K temperature and pi = 3.02×105 Pa pressure. The gas is then reversibly and isothermally compressed until its pressure reaches pf = 6.72×105 Pa. What is the volume of the gas at the end of the compression process?
How much work did the external force perform?
How much heat did the gas emit?
How much entropy did the gas emit?
What would be the temperature of the gas, if the gas was allowed to adiabatically expand back to its original pressure?

Mullet Technologies is considering whether or not to refund a $225 million, 14% coupon, 30-year bond issue that was sold 5 years ago. It is amortizing $9 million of flotation costs on the 14% bonds over the issue's 30-year life. Mullet's investment banks have indicated that the company could sell a new 25-year issue at an interest rate of 9% in today's market. Neither they nor Mullet's management anticipate that interest rates will fall below 9% any time soon, but there is a chance that rates will increase.
A call premium of 11% would be required to retire the old bonds, and flotation costs on the new issue would amount to $3 million. Mullet's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. The new bonds would be issued 1 month before the old bonds are called, with the proceeds being invested in short-term government securities returning 7% annually during the interim period.
Conduct a complete bond refunding analysis. What is the bond refunding's NPV? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
What factors would influence Mullet's decision to refund now rather than later?
