Many tire centers and new car dealers offer to fill tires with nitrogen instead of compressed air, often at a significantly incr

eased price. Based on what we have learned about gases, answer the following questions in your own words: a. What are the advantages claimed by the suppliers (these are companies who sell tires, provide nitrogen and nitrogen-handling equipment for this purpose)? b. Which of these claims are consistent with the gas laws we have discussed? c. Are there any chemical reasons (besides the gas laws we have discussed) that make filling tires with nitrogen worth the extra effort and money? d. Would you be willing to pay extra money to use nitrogen in your tires? Explain why or why not.

Answer and Explanation:

a) the advantage if using Nitrogen is that pure nitrogen does not leak out of tires as fast as oxygen do. Molecules of Nitrogen are much larger that those of Oxygen so nitrogen filled tires will remain inflates longer than air filled tires.

b) it is consistent with the ideal gas law (PV= nRT). Volume is inversely proportional to pressure and directly proportional to the temperature which mean that every 10 degree change in temperature will result in 1 psi change in tire-inflation pressure.

c) Yes there is another chemical reason. Air contains moisture which can build up within and corrode the wheels and tire pressure monitoring system resulting in tire rot from within but Nitrogen gas is much drier and allows a more steady pressure inside the tire.

d) No I will not pay extra for nitrogen filled tires because there's no huge difference between nitrogen and air filled tires. Nitrogen contains only about 93-95% nitrogen and the rest air ,while ordinary air-filled tire contains 78% nitrogen and the rest air. Besides nitrogen gas do not protect nor repairs faulty tires, you still have to check your tires from time to time and ordinary air is much cheaper than nitrogen and in some regions free. So I think its just a marketing strategy and do not have much use.

Answer:

4.09%

Explanation:

For computing the after cost of debt we have to applied the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,919

Future value or Face value = $2,000  

PMT = 2,000 × 6.3% ÷ 2 = $63

NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula,

1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.35% × 2 = 6.70%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 6.70% × ( 1 - 0.39)

= 4.09%

Explanation:

  • Equity, December 31, 2014Add: Owner's investment35,000Add: Net income35,000

When the investor add capital to the company it increases the cash account because it put money into the company and as counter account you have to increase equity to keep the accounting equation.

In the case that you keep in the company the Net Income, in this case the investor has the right of taking the money as dividend and retire the money of the company, but if the investor leave the money at the company by the Net Income it means that the company increase its retained earnings accounts with the counter account of cash as asset.

  • Owner WithdrawalsEquity, December 31, 2015$35,000

Here it's the opposite situation as before, and here the investor withdraw the money from the company, it means him get the cash and decrease the equity.
