You are evaluating a product. The market demand for the product can be low or high.

The product requires an investment of $1000.

If the market demand is high, the product will have a payoff of $2000. If the market demand is low, the product will have payoff of $840.

You do not know whether the market demand is high or low, but you know the probability that the market demand will be high is 70%, and that it will be low is 30%.

Given the above information, you calculate the NPV to be:

(0.7*2000 + 0.3*840) – 1000

Now, a market research organization offers to a survey to determine whether the demand will be high or low BEFORE you make the 1000 investment.

What is the value of the survey to you? That is, the maximum amount you would be ready to pay to have the survey conducted?

Chuck (mass = 70 kg) and Dan (mass = 80 kg) are working as window washers at Walter

Library. Chuck gets the bright idea of tying each of them to either end of a rope and hanging

it over a pulley to wash the windows. Chuck stands on the flat roof while Dan hangs from

the other end of the rope, ten meters off the ground. (See illustration below.) However,

it begins to rain, reducing the frictional force between Chuck’s shoes and the roof, and he

begins slipping.

If the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between Chuck’s shoes and the wet roof

μk = 0.25, (a) what is the acceleration of Chuck and Dan?

(b) What is the tension in the rope while they are accelerating?

(c) With what speed does Dan land on the ground below?

Neglect the mass of the rope and the pulley.

Hi, need to submit a 250 words essay on the topic Mitochondrial Uncouplers.

What alternative pathway is being triggered here and why? What other chemical would you expect to see build-up in the cytoplasm of these cells? (2.5 points)

In the presence of 2, 4-dinitrophenol, electron transport of electrons to O2 from NADH continuous normally regardless of loss of respiratory control leading to increased oxygen consumption as well as oxidation of NADH. It is the excessive consumption of oxygen that leads to consumption of large amounts of metabolic fuels. increase in glycolysis(El-Zanfaly and Marwa 208). During this process, substrate cycle is triggered in order to dissipate more energy in form of heat. Apart from accumulation of phosphate molecules, the presence of 2, 4-dinitrophenol may also result to accumulation of insulin and triglyceride in the cytoplasm of cells.

2, 4-dinitrophenol causes hyperthermia because it is associated with basal leak of protons which are responsible for the formation of ATP, storage of energy. The loss of thermoregulatory homeostasis as a result of the drug result to excessive dissipation of heat as well as consumption of calories(El-Zanfaly and Marwa 208).

The uncoupling protein (UCP) is an exclusive mitochondrial protein for brown fat. This fat plays a very significant role in the transportation of protein responsible for the formation of ATP. In transporting the proteins, this fat enhances dissipation of heat and as a result makes the brown fat mitochondria to be

International Accounting: A Users Perspective by Shahrokh M. SaudagaranVariety of the spice of life!Patricia duong, having recently obtained her MBA, has been hired by one of the last of the large investment banking firms. As part of her responsibilities, she is required to make recommendations on investing in securities of foreign companies.During her lunch hour, Patricia runs into a colleague and complains about the difficulties she encounters with the lack of comparability in the financial statements of firms from different countries. She is puzzled by the inability of national accounting standard-setting bodies to agree on and implement a uniform accounting regime globally since, in her view, this would represent a win-win situation for all concerned.1. Pretend you are the individual that Patricia is talking to. Explain why only one uniform accounting and reporting standard may not necessarily represent a win-win situation for all concerned.2. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having diverse accounting standards that are the product of each country’s national environment.3. Discuss the issues raised when a country or region adopts some, but not all of the International Financial Reporting Standards.4. In your opinion, should convergence be pursued?
