Philip Musa can build either a large video rental section or a small one in his Birmingham drugstore. He can also gather additional information or simply do nothing. If he gathers additional information, the results could suggest either a favorable or an unfavorable market, but it would cost him $3, 500 to gather the information. Musa believes that there is a 50-50 chance that the information will be favorable. If the rental market is favorable, Musa will earn $18,000 with a large section or $6, 000 with a small. With an unfavorable video-rental market, however, Musa could lose $21, 000 with a large section or $16, 000 with a small section. Without gathering additional information, Musa estimates that the probability of a favorable rental market is 0.7. A favorable report from the study would increase the probability of a favorable rental market to 0.9. Furthermore, an unfavorable report from the additional information would decrease the probability of a favorable rental market to 0.4. Of course, Musa could ignore these numbers and do nothing. What is your advice to Musa?
The expected payoff is $ ___ (round your response to the nearest dollar).

Ethanol reacts with sodium dichromate in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution according to the balanced net ionic equation shown below.
3 C2H5OH (aq) + 2 Cr2O72- (aq) + 16 H+ (aq) → 3 HC2H3O2 (aq) + 4 Cr3+ (aq) + 11 H2O (l)
This reaction is carried out with 1.00 mL of C2H5OH (density 0.816 g/mL, molar mass 46.07 g/mole) reacting with 32.76 mL of a solution that is 0.5775 M in Na2Cr2O7 and 6.000 M in HCl.

Samuel is a math teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. He loves to give his students multiplication exercises.
However, he doesn’t care about the actual operation result but the
unit sum of its digits.
At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they define the unit
sum (US) of N as the unit that it is left after doing the sum of
all the digits of a number over and over again until they get a
number of exactly 1 digit. For example: US(976) = 9 + 7 + 6 = 22
-> 2 + 2 = 4. Another example is US(19) = 1.
Samuel left as an assignment to get the US of any number. In order
to check if a student get the right answer or not, he wants to make
a program that solves it fast enough, but he is too busy for doing
it himself.
¿Can you help Samuel to check his homework?

Ms. Higden has been offered yet another incentive scheme. She will receive a bonus of $500,000 if the stock price at the end of the year is $120 or more; otherwise she will receive nothing. (Don’t ask why anyone should want to offer such an arrangement. Maybe there’s some tax angle.)
What combination of options would provide these payoffs? (Hint: You need to buy a large number of options with one exercise price and sell a similar number with a different exercise price.)

The viscosity of SAE 10 motor oil at room temperature is about 0.25Pa-s. Consider a 5cm- thick oil layer between two 5m2 surfaces.
a) Calculate the force on the bottom layer if the top later is moving at a constant speed of
3.5m/s.
b) If the force were to remain constant, how long will it take until the two layers are moving at the same speed?
c) Of course the problem is not that simple, explain what happen with the force and speed as
time passes.
