Estimate the melting point of nickel, Ni, if its ∆_fusH is 17.61 kJ/mol and its ∆_fusS is 10.21 J/mol·K. (Compare this to a measured melting point of 1455◦C.)

Describe in detail the different parts of a Control Chart.

Consider a control chart that is constructed to track student attendance. Give two examples of random variation and 3 examples of assignable cause variation.

a.  A bond that has a ​$1 comma 000 par value​ (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 10.5 percent. Interest payments are ​$52.50 and are paid semiannually. The bonds have a current market value of ​$1 comma 122 and will mature in 10 years. The​ firm's marginal tax rate is 34 percet.

b.  A new common stock issue that paid a ​$1.83 dividend last year. The​ firm's dividends are expected to continue to grow at 7.4 percent per​ year, forever. The price of the​ firm's common stock is now ​$27.35.

c.  A preferred stock that sells for ​$122​, pays a dividend of 8.1 ​percent, and has a​ $100 par value.  

d.  A bond selling to yield 11.7 percent where the​ firm's tax rate is 34 percent.

A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $36,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $18.

a. Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)

b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit (or loss)? (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)

Profit             units

c. If expected annual demand is 15,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit (or the lower loss)?

Higher profit A or B?

Ideal Reheat Steam Cycle (10)

Consider a steam power plant operating on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at P_H MPa and T_H °C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of P_L kPa. Assume the steam is reheated to the inlet temperature of the high-pressure turbine, and that pump work is NOT negligible. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed w_% percent, determine:

(a) the pressure at which the steam should be reheated ,

(b) the total turbine work ,

(c) the net work ,

(d) the total heat input , and

(e) the thermal efficiency of the cycle .

P_H = 12.5 MPa, T_H = 550 °C, P_L = 30 kPa and w_% = 11.4%.

Data collection can be challenging when considering how to organize student data. Research and summarize two ways to keep your student data organized. If possible, provide a link to an example you have found. Be sure to cite your source.

Discuss the types of distribution transparency as they may benefit to various business contexts. Provide illustrative examples.

Your factory has been offered a contract to produce a part for a new printer. The contract would last for

33

years and your cash flows from the contract would be

$ 5.24$5.24

million per year. Your upfront setup costs to be ready to produce the part would be

$ 7.82$7.82

million. Your discount rate for this contract is

7.6 %7.6%.

a. What does the NPV rule say you should​ do?

b. If you take the​ contract, what will be the change in the value of your​ firm?

"it is wrong to assume that people living under a government have consented to its power" Why does Hume say that?

b. The patient asks the student nurse what it means to develop resistance to anti-infectives. When the student nurse is teaching the patient about the anti-infective agent, it is important to include what general points to minimize bacterial resistance?
