Describe the evolutionary history of eukaryotic cells.

As part of a physics open house, a department sets up a bungee jump from the top of the physics building. Assume that one end of the elastic band will be firmly attached to the top of the building and the other to the waist of a courageous participant. The participant will step off the edge of the building, to be slowed down and brought back up by the elastic band before hitting the ground. Estimate the length and spring constant of the elastic you would recommend.

A rock is thrown from the top of a $20-\mathrm{m}$ building at an angle of $53^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. If the horizontal range of the throw is equal to the height of the building, with what speed was the rock thrown? What is the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground?

A construction company has adjoined a rectangular enclosure of $1000-\mathrm{ft}^2$ to its office building. Three sides of the enclosure are fenced in. The side of the building adjacent to the enclosure is $100 \mathrm{ft}$ long and a portion of this side is used as the fourth side of the enclosure. Let $x$ and $y$ be the dimensions of the enclosure, where $x$ is measured parallel to the building, and let $L$ be the length of fencing required for those dimensions. Find a formula for $L$ in terms of $x$ and $y$.

Solve the following problem.

The base of a 25ft. ladder is positioned 7ft. away from an office building situated on a slight hill, and the ladder and ground form a $62^{\circ}$ angle. At what angle and at what height does the ladder touch the building?

Sometimes it is difficult to open an exterior door of a building because the air distribution system maintains a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the building. Estimate how big this pressure difference can be if it is “not too difficult” for an average person to open the door.

Bill decided to buy six books on history instead of four books on politics. It follows, then, that the opportunity cost of each history book was ________ books on politics.

Term used for a computer system that integrates application programs for the different functions in a firm

Shannon is collecting art supplies. She has 48 crayons, 24 markers, and 16 stickers. She divided the crayons into 8 equal groups, the markers into 6 equal groups, and the stickers into 4 equal groups. She promised her brother that he could have one group from each type of art supplies. How many art supplies does her brother get?

The angle of elevation from the top of a building 45.0 ft high to the top of a nearby antenna tower is $15^{\circ} 20^{\prime}$. From the base of the building, the angle of elevation of the tower is $29^{\circ} 30^{\prime}$. Find the height of the tower.

DNA and protein molecules are “documents of evolutionary history.” Why aren’t complex carbohydrate molecules such as starch, cellulose, and glycogen considered “documents of evolutionary history”?

On January 1, Mitzu Co. pays a lump-sum amount of $2,600,000 for land, Building 1, Building 2, and Land Improvements 1. Building 1 has no value and will be demolished. Building 2 will be an office and is appraised at$644,000, with a useful life of 20 years and a $60,000 salvage value. Land Improvements 1 is valued at$420,000 and is expected to last another 12 years with no salvage value. The land is valued at $1,736,000. The company also incurs the following additional costs.

Cost to demolish Building 1$  328,400
Cost to construct Building 3, having a useful life
    of 25 years and a $392,000 salvage value                2,202,000
Cost of additional land grading                               175,400
Cost of new land Improvements 2, having a 20-year             
    useful life and no salvage value                          164,000

Required

1. Prepare a table with the following column headings: Land, Building 2, Building 3, Land Improvements 1, and Land Improvements 2. Allocate the costs incurred by Mitzu to the appropriate columns and total each column.
2. Prepare a single journal entry to record all the incurred costs assuming they are paid in cash on January 1.
3. Using the straight-line method, prepare the December 31 adjusting entries to record depreciation for the first year these assets were in use.
