Answer:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
Explanation:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = likely yield to maturity on the bonds = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years until maturity = 4
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7.50% * $1,000 = $75 = 75
pv = present value = market price = $735 = 735
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,75,-735,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(40,75,-735,1000) into a cell in an excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 10.23%.
Therefore, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
if a bond with a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon interest rate of 10% was selling for $1100, then the yield to maturity on that bond is: A. is less than 10% B. is greater than 10% C. is 10% D. cannot be determined g
Answer:
a
Explanation:
the yield to maturity of a bond is the total return on a bond if the bond is held to maturity. it is the equivalent of the internal rate of return.
If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount
If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium
If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par.
the bond is selling at a premium as 1100 is greater than 1000. Thus, the ytm is less than 10%
you observe thundering herd common stoc k selling for $40.00 per share. the next dividen is ecoected to be $2.00, and is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate forever. If your requir4ed rate of return is 12%, you should purchase the stock? A. Yes, because the presemt value of the expected future cash flows is greater than $40 g
Answer:
no, because the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than $40
Explanation:
The computation of the share price present value is given below:
= Next dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2 ÷ (12% - 4%)
= $25
As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased
When Crossett Corporation was organized in January, Year 1, it immediately issued 4,000 shares of $50 par, 6 percent, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $20 par common stock. Its earnings history is as follows: Year 1, net loss of $35,000; Year 2, net income of $125,000; Year 3, net income of $215,000. The corporation did not pay a dividend in Year 1.
Required:
a. How much is the dividend arrearage as of January 1, Year 1?
b. Assume that the board of directors declares a $25,000 cash dividend at the end of year 1 (remember that the year 1 and year 2 preferred dividends are due). How will the dividend be divided between the preferred and common stockholders?
Answer:
a. $0
The company was organized in January, Year 1. They do not have to pay dividends because the company just started operations. The cumulative dividends are only to be paid at the end of the period so there is no dividend arrear here.
b. Preferred shareholders are meant to get:
= 4,000 shares * 50 * 6%
= $12,000 per year
As they are owed $12,000 from the first year and are now owed for the second, the dividends they will get is:
= 12,000 + 12,000
Preferred Dividends = $24,000
Ordinary shareholders get what is left:
= 25,000 - 24,000
= $1,000
In order to motivate our sales force to increase sales, we decided to increase our commissions and salaries and increase marketing. At the same time, our supplier increased its prices, and we felt we could pass that cost increase on to our customers in the form of price increase. However, with the additional pressure to make sales, coupled with the increased sales price, we had to loosen credit terms on sales. We also had to lease a little more distribution space and acquire another truck to handle the volume increase. Our shipping expense relates to gasoline on deliveries. Luckily, gas prices went down from what we originally expected this year.
In the table below, classify EACH ACCOUNT on the budget according to whether the variances in the performance report are consistent or inconsistent with the client’s story, or unexplained by the client’s story. Place an "X" in the appropriate column. If the Revenue/Spending Variance and Activity Variance differ with respect to one account (i.e., one is consistent and one is inconsistent) then indicate which belongs in which column.
Consistent
Inconsistent
Unexplained
Sales revenue
Cost of Goods Sold
Commission
Shipping Expense
Bad debt expense
Salaries
Lease of distribution center
Depreciation of fleet and equip
Advertising
Office rent, phone, internet
Answer:
Sales Revenue - Inconsistent
Cost of Goods Sold - Inconsistent
Commission - Consistent
Shipping expense - Inconsistent
Bad debt expense - Unexplained
Salaries - Consistent
Lease of distribution center - Consistent
Depreciation of fleet and equipment - Inconsistent
Advertising - Consistent
Office rent, Phone, Internet - Inconsistent
Explanation:
The increase in selling price will result in change in the revenue figure. The cost of distribution is increased due to handling the addition volume. This will result in an increase in shipping expense and cost of goods sold. Salaries and commission of the staff will remain consistent as there will be no change due to increase of selling price.
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _____________ and ___________. Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $2,040. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 420 students, asking each of them their willingness-to-pay for the beautification project. The average willingness-to-pay, as revealed by the survey, is $12.
The benefit of the beatification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ __________ Because the estimated benefit is ____________ than the
cost, the college administrators ______________ undertake the beautification in initiative.
The calculation of the benefit of the beatification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to accurately capture the true willingness-to-pay of each student.
Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading willingness-to-pay data? Check all that apply.
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
b. An equal number of male and female students were surveyed.
Answer:
non rival, non excludable
$5040
greater
will
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
Explanation:
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous.
Because a student is enjoying the visual appearance of the campus, another student is not prevented from enjoying the visual appearance of the campus. This means that the beautification initiative is non rivalrous
There is no way to prevent any student from viewing the initiative. This means it is non excludable
Benefit can be calculated using the willingness to pay of student
the price a student is willing to pay would be dependent on the amount of benefit she expects to derive from the project
benefit = 420 x $12 = $5040
The beautification initiative generates a positive externality
A good or initiative has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost
Because the good generates positive externality, the initiative should be carried out
If . Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere, they would quote a lower willingess to pay
Latasha's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in San Francisco that sells gluten-free pizzas. Latasha's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Latasha signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Latasha's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Latasha cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Latasha's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Latasha lets them know how many workers she needs for each day Of the week, In the short run, these workers are __________inputs, and the ovens are ___________ Inputs.
Answer: variable; fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are fixed Inputs.
In the short run, variable inputs in production can be changed to adapt to the changing economic conditions while fixed inputs cannot. In the long run however, all inputs are variable and so can be changed.
As this is the short run and the workers can be changed, they are the variable inputs.
The ovens however, cannot be changed so the ovens are the fixed inputs.
Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________
a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.
Answer:
a. 20250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]
Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750
Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.
Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250
ABC Corporation has total assets of 120 million, total liabilities of 80 million, Goodwill of 12 million, and 4 millions of shares outstanding. If you believe the reasonable price to tangible book value should be 1.6 for this company, what is the implied share price of ABC
Answer: $16
Explanation:
Implied share price = Book value per share * Price to tangible book value
Book value per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares outstanding
= (120 - 80) / 4
= $10
Implied share price = 10 * 1.6
= $16
Sarah Sandoval is a coffee farmer trying to decide how many tons of coffee to produce. She can sell each ton of coffee for $2000. The cost of producing the first ton of coffee is $500, for the second ton, it's $1000. For each additional ton of coffee produced, the marginal cost increases by $500. How many tons of coffee should Sarah produce, and what is the total cost of her coffee production
Answer:
She will produce four tons at a total cost of $5,000
Explanation:
For each additional ton of coffee produced the marginal cost is increase by $500. This means that when Sarah reaches the fourth ton of coffee the cost of producing the ton of coffee would be $2,000.
At this point she is neither making any profit nor any loss. So, this would be her maximum limit of producing the ton of coffee.
The total cost of producing the four tons of coffee would be $5,000 ($500 for first + $1,000 for second + $1,500 for third + $2,000 for fourth).

Factory Overhead Volume Variance Dvorak Company produced 5,100 units of product that required 3.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.50 per hour at 18,750 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
$2,250 Favourable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50 × [18,750 hrs. – (5,100 units × 3.5 hrs.)]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×[18,750 hrs. – 17,850 hrs]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×900
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2,250 Favourable
Therefore the fixed factory overhead volume variance will be $2,250 Favourable

Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project
Answer:
11.06%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be the WACC for this project
First step is to calculate the Weight of Debt
Weight of Debt = $750,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Debt = 0.4391
Second step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock
Weight of Preferred Stock = $78,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0457
Third step is to calculate the Weight of Equity
Weight of Equity = $880,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Equity = 0.5152
Fourth step is to calculate After Tax Cost of Debt
After Tax Cost of Debt = 11.1% * (1 – 0.40)
After Tax Cost of Debt = 6.66%
Now let calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = (Weight of Debt * After Tax Cost of Debt) + (Weight of Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock) + (Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity)
Let plug in the formula
WACC = (0.4391 * 0.0666) + (0.0457 * 0.1220) + (0.5152 * 0.1470)
WACC = 0.02924406+0.0055754+0.0757344
WACC =0.1106*100
WACC =11.06%

Answer:
in the money; out of the money.
Explanation:
Secondary market can be defined as a market where various investors sell and buy securities from other investors.
Some examples of secondary market around the world are New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange (LSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE).
On the other hand, the primary market refers to the market where these securities that are being sold are issued or created.
In trading and investment, a stock option can be defined as a contract that states that the buyer as the right to buy (call) or sell (put) an asset at a particular price at any time but necessarily obligational. Thus, it is strictly at the discretion of the buyer (investor).
Generally, in a long (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will rise because he or she will typically profit from a rise in price.
However, a short (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will fall because he or she will typically profit from a fall in price.
A spot rate is the cash or exchange rate placed on a contract in the stock exchange market.
When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is in the money, and a put option is out of the money.

Snow Sports $5,700,000 1,010,500 4,300,000 450,000
Non- SnowSport 8,500,000 1,332,500 6,500,000 750,000
ROI (Return on Investments) = Operating income/Total assets * 100
Snow Sports = $1,010,500/$4,300,000 * 100 = 23.5%
Non-SnowSport = $1,332,500/$6,500,000 * 100 = 20.5%
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2. If an example belongs in both, be sure to check both boxes.
Example M1 M2
Susan has $8,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Larry has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
Raphael has $25,000 in a money market account.
Answer and Explanation:
The identification is as follows:
As we know that
M! money supply involved all the currecies that have physical existance i.e. notes, coins, demand deposits etc
While on the other hand, M2 involves M1 + near money i.e. mutual funds, checking deposits, money market etc
Since Susan has 2 year CD so it would be classified as a M2 money supply
Since larry withdraw from the bank so it would be included in M1 and M2
And, since raphael has $25,000 in money market so would be classified as a M2 money supply

what more, could starbucks have done, to maximize it's chances of success with laboulange
Answer:
It probably felt like the end of the line last year when Starbucks announced plans to close all 22 La Boulange pastry shops. This was the very same croissant-creating brand that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz once publicly praised as a key to boosting the quality of Starbucks baked goods.
But for La Boulange founder Pascal Rigo, the store closure wasn’t the end. It was a new beginning. At 56, Rigo is in the midst of making one of fast-casual’s most widely watched reinventions. In Humpty Dumpty-like fashion, he is gluing the broken pieces together again and has opened five stores in the San Francisco Bay Area—with two more on the way—under the name, La Boulangerie de San Francisco.
His grand plans: to reassemble La Boulangerie as a fast-casual powerhouse by opening up some 20 to 40 locations. He also plans to enlarge its 40,000-foot baked goods facility in San Francisco that attracts business from such high-profile retail clients as Costco and, reportedly, Trader Joe’s. While it may not be quite the magnitude of what Chipotle CEO Steve Ells accomplished after buying back Chipotle from McDonald’s, the guy who founded La Boulange has a nice chunk of it back from Starbucks.How is Starbucks diversifying itself by purchasing La Boulange? y increasing its product offerings to include bakery items. How does Starbucks' current market power increase its chances for success in expanding its product offerings to include bakery items?

Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:
= Change in consumption / Change in income
where,
Change in consumption = $18 billion
Change in income = $20 billion
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
= $18 billion / $20 billion
= 0.9
Therefore, MPC is 0.9.
During the year, Walt who is self-employed travels from Seattle to Tokyo, Japan, on business. His time was spent as follows: two days travel (one day each way), two days business, and two days personal. His expenses for the trip were as follows (meals and lodging reflect only the business portion): Airfare $3,000 Lodging 2,000 Meals 1,000 Presuming no reimbursement, Walt's deductible expenses are: a.$3,500. b.$6,000. c.$4,500. d.$5,500.
Answer:
d.$5,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the deductible expense is shown below:
= Airfare + lodging + 50% of meals
= $3,000 + $2,000 + 50% of $1,000
= $3,000 + $2,000 + $500
= $5,500
hence, the deductible expense is $5,500
Here we take 100% of airfare & lodging but we took 50% for the meals
hence, the option d is correct
Yuri owns just one ship, he calls it Previt. The ship is worth $25 million dollars. If the ship sinks, Yuri loses $25 million. The probability that it will sink is .02. Yuri's total wealth, including the value of the ship is $50 million. He is an expected utility maximizer with utility U(W) equal to W2. What is the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship
Answer:
$745,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship
First step is to calculate the Expected Utility (√W)
Expected Utility = (98% x √$25,000,000) + (2% x √$0)
Expected Utility = $4,900
Second step is to calculate the Fair premium of insurance policy using this formula
Fair premium of insurance policy = Probability of loss x Size of loss
Let plug in the formula
Fair premium of insurance policy = 2% x $25,000,000
Fair premium of insurance policy = $500,000
Third step is to calculate the Maximum premium using this formula
Maximum premium = Maximum utility - Expected Utility²
Let Plug in the formula
Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $4,900²
Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $24,010,000
Maximum premium= $990,000
Now let calculate the Maximum amount willing to pay using this formula
Maximum amount willing to pay = (Fair premium + Maximum premium) / 2
Let plug in the formula
Maximum amount willing to pay= ($ 500,000 + $990,000) / 2
Maximum amount willing to pay=$1,490,000/2
Maximum amount willing to pay= $745,000
Therefore the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship is $745,000
Jefferson Inc. (JI) is a relatively new company that wants to improve its employee rewards, compensation, and benefits. The company understands that there are effective reward systems that will motivate employees. However, JI management is not sure which would be the best for the company. Compensation, another important area, must also be improved so that it will satisfy all employees effectively. In addition, the company wants to create benefits to keep the employees not just satisfied, but also motivated. Yet another pressing issue is deciding on the training methods that are to be used to successfully teach the new employees.
JI believes that it will be on the right path if all of these changes can be successfully accomplished. The company plans to incorporate performance appraisals so it can be sure that the rewards, compensation, and benefits are effectively distributed. Refer to Jefferson, Inc. JI management must consider implementing the many different types of benefits. These include all of the following except :__________
a. insurance packages.
b. pension and retirement programs.
c. worker's compensation insurance.
d. Social Security.
e. profit sharing.
Answer:
E. Profit sharing
Explanation:
Employee benefits are the additional gains that employees enjoy in an organization in addition to their salaries.
There are different types of benefits that employers offer their employees.
Some of these are:
1. Medical benefits
2. Retirement benefits
3. Disability benefits
4. Insurance
5. Social security
E. T. C
Profit sharing is not an employee benefit so it is the odd 1 out of these options.
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows: Division A Division B Division C Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000 Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000 Net operating income $ 214,200 $ 746,200 $ 118,900 Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 % Required: 1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division. 3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 19% rate of return. a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity? b. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity
Answer:
1. Return on Investment = Net operating income (NOI)/Average operating assets (AOA) * 100
Division A = 21%
Division B = 32.8%
Division C = 7.25%
2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $40,800
Division B = $0
Division C = ($110,700)
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.
3-b. Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000
Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000
Net operating income $ 214,200 $ 746,200 $ 118,900
Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 %
1. Return on Investment = Net operating income (NOI)/Average operating assets (AOA) * 100
= 21% 32.8% 7.25%
Division A = 21% ($214,200/$1,020,000 * 100)
Division B = 32.8% ($746,200/$2,275,000 * 100)
Division C = 7.25% ( $118,900/$1,640,000 * 100)
2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $40,800 ($214,200 - ($1,020,000 * 17%) )
Division B = $0 ($746,200 - ($2,275,000 * 32.8%))
Division C =($110,700) ( $118,900 - ($1,640,000 * 14%))
Investment opportunity that would yield a 19% rate of return:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000
Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000
Net operating income (19%) $ 193,800 $ 432,250 $ 311,600
Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 %
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.
3-b. Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it.
Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $20,400 ($193,800 - ($1,020,000 * 17%))
Division B = ($313,950) ($432,250 - ($2,275,000 * 32.8%))
Division C = $82,600 ($311,600 - ($1,640,000 * 14%))

In order to safeguard the public health, environment, public beaches, water quality, and economy of south San Diego County, California, and Tijuana, Mexico, federal agencies in the United States and Mexico developed four alternatives for treating wastewater prior to discharge into the ocean. The project will minimize untreated wastewater flows that have caused chronic and substantial pollution in the Tijuana River Valley, the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, coastal areas used for agriculture and public recreation, and areas designated as critical habitat for federal- and state-listed endangered species. For the costs and benefits estimated, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a B/C analysis at 6% per year and a 40-year project period?
Pond System Expand Plan Advanced Prima Partial Secondary
Capital cost, $5.8 76 2 48
M&O cost, $/year 5.5 5.3 2.1 4.4
Benefits, $/year 11.1 12.0 2.7 8.3
Answer:
Following are the solution to these question:
Explanation:
Follows are the AW calculation to the total cost and add according to the rank of the increasing costs.
[tex]= 58 (0.06646) + 5.5\\= \$ 9.35[/tex]
[tex]AWexpand = 76(\frac{A}{P}, 6\%, 40) + 5.3[/tex]
[tex]= 2 (0.06646) + 2.1\\\\= \$ 2.23\\\\[/tex]
[tex]AWprimary = 2(\frac{A}{P}, 6\%, 40) + 2.1\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= 2 (0.06646) + 2.1\\\\= \$ 2.23\\\\[/tex]
[tex]AW partial = 48(\frac{A}{P}, 6\%, 40) + 4.4\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= 48 (0.06646) + 4.4\\\\= \$ 7.59[/tex]
Calculating the benefits of the directly estimate on the DN of the first alternative and rank as follows: DN, Primary, Partial, Pond, Expand
[tex]Primary \ DN: \frac{\Delta B}{с} = \frac{2.7}{2.23}= 1.21 \ eliminate\ DN\\\\Partial \ Primary: \frac{\Delta B}{с} =\frac{(8.3-2.7)}{(7.59-2.23)}= 1.04 \ eliminate \ Primary\\\\Pond \ Partial: \frac{\Delta B}{с} = \frac{(11.1 - 8.3)}{(9.35-7.59)}= 1.59 \ eliminate \ Partial\\\\Expand \ Pond: \frac{\Delta B}{с} = \frac{(12.0 - 11.1)}{(10.35 - 9.35)}= 0.90\ eliminate\ Expand\\\\[/tex]
