5. Let Tungsten have one conduction electron per atom. Its resistivity is $\rho_0 = 5.25 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$ at $20^\circ C$. Also, its density is 19.3 gr/cm$^3$ and molar mass is 183.84 gr/mole. Tungsten's resistivity as a function of Celsius temperature T is given by: $\rho(T) = \rho_0 [1 + 0.0045 \times (T - 20^\circ C)]$ all SI base units Assume a light bulb has a small tungsten 0.24 mm diameter coiled filament that is 30 cm long (stretched out), and when it powered on attains a temperature of $2140^\circ C$. a) Determine the conduction electron collision frequency at a temperatures of $2180^\circ C$: b) Determine the current in the hot filament:

USE THE DATA BELOW TO ANSWER QUESTIONS 16-17 You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The price is $170,000. The equipment would be sold after 3 years for $60,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $8,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $50,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. 16. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? A. $110,000 B. $128,000 C. $170,000 D. $178,000 E. $210,000 17. What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? A. $52,440; $60,600; $88,960 B. $53,660; $65,900; $98,540 C. $72,440; $80,600; $115,440 D. $76,100; $96,500; $76,200 E. $86,100; $106,500; $99,500

A monopolist that produces a non-perishable product has the following cost structure per year, where all costs are due at the time of production. TFC = 400 TVC(Q) = 8Q^2 + 12Q The market demand is currently P = 300 - 30Q per year. The demand will change every year so as to have a 10% higher price at each quantity compared to the previous year. That is, if today (beginning of year 1) the monopolist sells 2 units, it will be able to charge 300 - 30*2 = $240 per unit. The price will be $240*1.1 = 264 at the end of this year (beginning of next year). At the end of the next year (beginning of the following year), it will be 240*1.1*1.1 = $290.4, etc. Similar to the price, the costs are increasing at 10% per year as well. Assume that the production and sales can take place only at the beginning or end of any given year, not necessarily at the same time. Each year's production has to be sold by the end of that year. That is, year 1's production cannot be sold in year 2 or 3. a) If the monopolist can borrow and lend at 10% per year, when should the production and sale take place in each of the coming three years? (Numerical answer required, explain your reasoning clearly) b) If the monopolist can borrow and lend at 12% per year, when should production and sale take place in the coming three years? (can be verbally answered, no numerical answer is required, explain your reasoning clearly.) c) If the monopolist can borrow and lend at 8% per year, when should production and sales take place in the coming three years? (can be verbally answered, no numerical answer is required, explain your reasoning clearly)

218 GLOBAL COMPARATIVE MANAGEMENT Study Questions 1. What is distinctive about the East Asian cultural, economic, and political environment? 2. Identify major tenets of Confucian culture and discuss ways in which they influence East Asian managers and management prac- terns and practices. 3. From the viewpoint of the management functions, discuss prevalent management patterns in the region. Exercise 6.1 Guided by a theory of motivation such as Maslow's renowned hierarchy of-needs (see Table 6.12), one could design a managerial compensation package (monetary and nonmonetary rewards) tailored to the personal wants, needs, values, and expectations of an individual. This would be influenced by individual background as well as expectations concerning personal capabilities, obstacles, effort, risk, and reward. Societal pressures and tax factors also come into play. In individualistic cultures in free market economies (e.g., Canada, United Kingdom, United States, Australia), Maslow's \"esteem\" needs and \"self-actualization\" warrant attention, and there is comparison with what similar managers earn in comparable firms. Pay often includes perfor- mance bonuses in the form of cash, stock, or stock options. There might also be sign-on and retention bonuses and severance payouts (golden parachutes) for terminations caused by merger or acquisition. There can also be significant retirement benefits. Perquisites may also pertain (e.g., theater tickets, golf club memberships, flight time on the company jet). In some cases, though, just the prestige or the challenge of the job might be sufficient motivation. By contrast, do you think an ideal managerial compensation package in a Confucian setting should look much different? Suppose that you (from a leading Western company) are contemplating such a plan for your new CEO (a local Chinese national) for your recently acquired assembly plant in Guangdong province, China. What factors should influence your deliberation? Do you think that Nevis's Chinese need hierarchy (Table 6.12) is a more suitable guide (than Maslow's, or any other you know of) in structuring a reward pack- age. Why or why not? Explain.
