Elizabeth is conducting an investigation to study how molecules are transported into and out of a cell. elizabeth builds a model of a cell using a u-shaped tube. a barrier, which is permeable to water, but not sugar, is placed on the bottom of the tube to model the cell membrane. elizabeth adds two different solutions to each side of the tube. the solute in each solution is sugar and the solvent is water. the initial levels of solution in side a and side b are equal. the concentration of sugar in side a is lower than the concentration of sugar in side b.  what is elizabeth likely to observe?

(4 points) suppose the production function in the solow model is given by yt = ak¯ 3/4 t l 1/4 t . (a) what are the five equations and five unknowns that summarize the solow model? (b) show the transition dynamics in the solow model if ¯sy0 < ¯dk0. make sure you label the axes, curves, initial level of capital and steady-state level of capital. (c) solve for capital, output, capital per person, and output per person in the steady state. (d) if a¯ = 2, l¯ = 4, ¯s = 0.2, and ¯d = 0.05, calculate the steady-state level of capital and output per person.

Consider the following two stocks, a and b. stock a has an expected return of 10%, 10% standard deviation, and a beta of 1.20. stock b has an expected return of 14%, 25% standard deviation, and a beta of 1.80. the expected market rate of return is 9% and the risk-free rate is 5%. security would be considered a good buy if we include the stock in a well diversified a portfolio because a. b, it offers better alpha b. a, it offers better alpha c. a, it offers better sharpe ratio d. b, it offers better sharpe ratio

Nichols inc. manufactures remote controls. currently the company uses a plantminuswide rate for allocating manufacturing overhead. the plant manager is considering switchingminusover to abc costing system and has asked the accounting department to identify the primary production activities and their cost drivers which are as follows: activities cost driver allocation rate material handling number of parts $5 per part assembly labor hours $20 per hour inspection time at inspection station $10 per minute the current traditional cost method allocates overhead based on direct manufacturing labor hours using a rate of $20 per labor hour. what are the indirect manufacturing costs per remote control assuming an method is used and a batch of 10 remote controls are produced? the batch requires 100 parts, 5 direct manufacturing labor hours, and 3 minutes of inspection time.
