Solutions Guide: A3. (Net advantage to leasing) A firm is considering leasing a computer system that costs $1‚000‚000 new. The lease requires annual payments of $135‚000 in arrears for 10 years. The lessee pays income taxes at a 35% marginal rate. If it purchased the computer system‚ it could depreciate it to its expected residual value over 10 years. The lessee’s cost of similarly secured debt is 10% and its WACC is 15%. a. Calculate the net advantage to leasing assuming zero residual value.

Effects of Molasses Concentration on Yeast Fermentation The purpose of this lab was to determine how yeast cells are affected by the concentration of a food source‚ and for our purposes‚ the food sources were corn syrup and molasses. Our hypothesis was that the yeast cells would ferment the most when there was a higher concentration of molasses/corn syrup. In order to test this‚ we created 10 test tubes with decreasing concentrations of molasses/corn syrup using a serial dilution. Each test

Experiment 4: Conductivity of electrolyte solutions (Dated: October 29‚ 2009) I. INTRODUCTION Pure water does not conduct electricity‚ but any solvated ionic species would contribute to conduction of electricity. An ionically conducting solution is called an electrolyte solution and the compound‚ which produces the ions as it dissolves‚ is called an electrolyte. A strong electrolyte is a compound that will completely dissociate into ions in water. Correspondingly‚ a weak electrolyte dissolves

EXPERIMENT 2: SOLUTION PREPARATION AND STANDARDIZATION Submitted by Iris Olaso ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Generally‚ there are two ways in preparing a solution‚ one is by dissolving a weighed amount of solid in a required solvent and the other is by dilution of a concentrated solution into the desired concentration. In diluting concentrated solution‚ the concentration of the diluted solution can be determined by standardization

molecules from high concentration to low concentration through semipermeable membranes‚ caused by the difference in concentrations on the two sides of a membrane (Rbowen‚ L.). It occurs in both animals and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato and glucose/salt solution. The experiment requires

SOLUTION TO HOMEWORK PROBLEMS Chapter-4: MOTION IN TWO DIMENSIONS 1 A particle starts from the origin at t = 0 with a velocity of 6.0[pic] m/s and moves in the xy plane with a constant acceleration of (-2.0[pic] + 4.0[pic]) m/s2. At the instant the particle achieves its maximum positive x coordinate‚ how far is it from the origin? [pic] 2 At t = 0‚ a particle leaves the origin with a velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive y direction. Its acceleration is given by [pic] = (3.0[pic] - 2.0[pic])

Title: pH and buffer solutions Aim This experiment was carried out to determine the role of buffer solution and the factor which affect the buffer capacity. Besides‚ this experiment was carried out to investigate the solubility of protein casein over a range of pH concentration. This experiment also was carried out to determine the isoelectric point of the casein and the effect of the isoelectric point toward the casein solution.
