Determine the required splice length for the galvanized longitudinal bars in the following tied column made of lightweight concrete. Assume that some of the longitudinal bars are in tension and that the connection should be designed as a Class B contact lap splice. Use ACI 318-14 Table 25.4.2.2 to calculate the development length, and assume that the ties satisfy the Code minimum.Column width, b = 28 in.Column thickness, h = 26 in.Clear cover to ties = 1.5 in.Number of longitudinal bars = 12Size of longitudinal bars = No. 6Size of ties = No. 3Concrete strength = 5,000 psiYield strength of longitudinal bars = 60,000 psiYield strength of ties = 40,000 psi

CathFoods will release a new range of candies which contain anti-oxidants. New equipment to manufacture the candy will cost  which will be depreciated by straight-line depreciation over five years. In addition, there will be  spent on promoting the new candy line. It is expected that the range of candies will bring in revenues of  per year for five years with production and support costs of $1.5 million per year. If CathFoods’ marginal tax rate is 20%, what are the incremental earnings in the second year of this project?

The nurse is caring for a client who has had a prescription changed from warfarin (Coumadin) to apixaban (Eliquis). The patient asks the nurse what test should be ordered to monitor the therapy of this medication. What is the best response by the nurse?

Designers should compute the interaction diagram for the most favorable bar orientation in a circular column because they have little to no control over how the bars are actually installed.

Assume Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $70 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.35 per share and each share trades for $20. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 9% per year. Also, Time Warner has $15 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 7%. If the firm’s tax rate is 25%, compute the WACC?
