Consider the following information for three stocks, Stocks A, B, and C. The returns on the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are not perfectly correlated. (That is, each of the correlation coefficients is between 0 and 1.)
Stock | Expected Return | Standard Deviation | Beta | ||
A | 9.10 | % | 15 | % | 0.8 |
B | 10.45 | 15 | 1.1 | ||
C | 12.70 | 15 | 1.6 |
Fund P has one-third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 5.5%, and the market is in equilibrium. (That is, required returns equal expected returns.) The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the questions below.

1. You are to do a preliminary design study for a small
demonstration steam turbine power plant.
- Steam will be provided by a small steam generator fired by
natural gas. - Your system will take in steam at 30 bar
and 400 oC.
- The steam passes through a two stage turbine. At a pressure of 10
bars, the steam leaves the first stage of the turbine and will pass
through a reheat loop in the steam generator which will boost the
temperature back up to 400 oC at this pressure. The steam will then
enter the second stage of the turbine.
- When the steam leaves the turbine, the quality should be at least
95% at the turbine exit / condenser inlet.
- The design condenser pressure is 0.70
bar.
- Heat is removed from the condenser and rejected to the
environment through a cooling tower.
a) Assuming isentropic expansion, what are the temperature,
enthalpy, and entropy of the steam when it leaves the first stage
of the turbine? (5 pts)
b) What are the enthalpy and the entropy of the steam as it leaves
the reheater and enters the second stage of the turbine? How much
heat (kJ/kg) goes into the steam in the reheat process? (10
pts)
c) Based on an isentropic expansion, what will the quality be at
the exit? Will it meet this design limit? (10 pts)
For the following parts use the design turbine power output of 2.5
kW.
d) What mass flow rate is required? (10 pts)
e) At what rate must heat be produced by natural gas burners in the
steam generator to produce the steam at the turbine inlet, and how
much heat must be produced to reheat the steam between the stages?
For a heating rate range of 950-1150 BTU/scf and a cost of $8 per
100 cubic feet, what is the fuel cost per hour to run this unit?
(10 pts)
f) What is the feed water pump power demand, and what is the BWR?

2. A refrigeration machine has been designed based on R134a. The
design capacity is 15 tons. The evaporator coil design
temperature is 8 oC. The refrigerant enters the compressor as a
slightly superheated vapor at 15 oC. The condenser coil design
pressure is 14 bar. Refrigerant enters the expansion valve as a
compressed (subcooled) liquid at 44 C. Note that the temperature of
the air passing over the tubing in the evaporator coil will be
higher than 8 oC and the temperature of the air passing over the
condenser coil will be lower than the coil temperature. Use 80% for
the compressor isentropic efficiency.
a. Calculate the power required to run the compressor under these
design conditions and the required mass flow rate of R134a. (30
pts)
b. Find the rate of heat transfer for the condenser (high pressure
side) of the system. (15 pts)
c. Find the quality of the refrigerant as it enters the evaporator.

3. A small gas turbine engine is used to produce power for
auxiliary systems. This is a simple gas turbine open to the
atmosphere. Air enters the compressor at 1 bar, 300 K. The
compressor pressure ratio is 3.5:1. After passing through the
combustion chamber, the air enters the turbine at a temperature of
1300 K. Determine the mass flow rate of air needed for the turbine
to produce 60 kW of power. Also determine the heat that must be
generated in the combustors. (30 pts) Solar collector …

Create a class Ledger that will record the sales for a store. It will have the attributes ■ sale—an array of double values that are the amounts of all sales ■ salesMade—the number of sales so far ■ maxSales—the maximum number of sales that can be recorded and the following methods: ■ Ledger(max)—a constructor that sets the maximum number of sales to max ■ addSale(d)—adds a sale whose value is d ■ getNumberOfSales—returns the number of sales made ■ getTotalSales—returns the total value of the sales, Lastly define the following methods for the class Ledger, as described in the previous exercise: ■ getAverageSale()—returns the average value of all the sales ■ getCountAbove(v)—returns the number of sales that exceeded v in value.

Please answer part d).
A string is tied between two posts sticking out of the wall. The posts are separated by 1.20 m. A 5.00-cm-long snippet of the string weighs 1.50 grams. You attach a machine to one of the posts, so that the post can vibrate up and down at a frequency set on the machine. (You can still consider the string attached to this post as a node - the machine does not create a high amplitude right at the post.)
a) You slowly turn up the frequency of the machine, and at 41.7 Hz you see the standing-wave pattern corresponding to the fundamental frequency of the system. What is the tension in the string? Express the answer in newtons (N). ANSWER: T = 300 N
b) You continue to increase the frequency of the machine, and at a higher frequency you observe that nodes form every 10 cm, and the antinodes have an oscillation amplitude of 5.2 mm. What is the frequency of this oscillation? Express the answer in hertz (Hz). ANSWER: f = 500 Hz
c) Another standing wave pattern appears when the machine is set to 167 Hz. The amplitude of the string's oscillation at the antinodes is 5.2 mm. How many antinodes n does the pattern have? ANSWER: n = 4.00
d) You keep the conditions set as they are in part C. What is the amplitude of the string's oscillation 40 cm from the post that the machine is oscillating? Express the answer in millimetres (mm).
