In 2009, Melissa developed a hydrogen powered engine for a car while working in her garage in her spare time. Melissa installed

the engine in a small car that she has been driving around town. In 2012, engineers working for Ford Motor Co. independently developed an identical hydrogen powered engine. After completing tests on the engine for two years, Ford filed a patent for the engine on March 1, 2014. On March 2, 2014, Melissa also filed for a patent for her engine. Assuming the engine satisfies all of the requirements for a patent, who is entitled to the patent?

Answer:

Ford

Explanation:

It's true that Melissa was the first person to develop a hydrogen powered engine for a car. The efforts of engineers from Ford Motor Co. were also independent and they also developed a similar engine as Melissa. Now when it comes to records of filing patent, Ford Motor was the first and as per the rules of patenting, the first person or organization to file patent is entitled to the patent. Therefore, Ford deserves the patent.

1433 km

Explanation:

Let g' = the gravitational field strength at an altitude h

g' = G\dfrac{M_E}{(R_E + h)^2}

We also know that g at the earth's surface is

g = G\dfrac{M_E}{R_E^2}

Since g' = (2/3)g, we can write

G\dfrac{M_E}{(R_E + h)^2} = \dfrac{2}{3}\left(G\dfrac{M_E}{R_E^2} \right)

Simplifying the above expression by cancelling out common factors, we get

(R_E + h)^2 = \dfrac{3}{2} R_E^2

Taking the square root of both sides, this becomes

R_E + h = \left(\!\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}\right) R_E

Solving for h, we get

h = \left(\!\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}} - 1\right) R_E= 0.225(6.371×10^2\:\text{km})

\:\:\:\:\:= 1433\:\text{km}

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is
Brilliant_brown [7]

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative             Precipitation                                

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100                       100                    300

Expand           350                       500                   200

Build new       750                       300                    0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are  for

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100*0.3                100*0.2                   300*0.5 = 140

Expand           350*0.3                500*0.2                  200*0.5 = 305

Build new       750*0.3                300*0.2                  0*0.5    = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000
