Kite Corporation, a C corporation, made an S election June 30 of last year. In the current year, because of the election, Kite is an S Corporation.  The net unrealized built-in gains at the beginning of the current year are $300,000. The net recognized built-in gains in the current year are $110,000. What is Kite’s built-in gains tax for the current year?

Questions 2, refer to the graph in Figure 1. Any object that is warmer than Absolute Zero “glows in the dark” in a range of wavelengths (Blackbody radiation). The graph above shows how the brightness of that glow varies according to wavelength l for objects at four different temperatures (5500 K, 4400 K, 3400 K, and 2500 K).   2. Which of the four temperature graphs shows the greatest intensity at the wavelength of (lambda) ?

Questions 3,  refer to the graph in Figure 1. Any object that is warmer than Absolute Zero “glows in the dark” in a range of wavelengths (Blackbody radiation). The graph above shows how the brightness of that glow varies according to wavelength l for objects at four different temperatures (5500 K, 4400 K, 3400 K, and 2500 K). Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Fig. 2 Two things that can increase the brightness of a star are increasing its size, or increasing its temperature. Let’s explore this notion by thinking about what effects will lead to a pot of spaghetti cooking faster. Figure 2 shows a hot plate that has two heating elements. It can be seen that the heating elements are the same size. The heating element on the left is set on “High”, while the heating element on the right is set to “Low”.  Based on this information we can say that the heating element on the left will cook the pot of spaghetti faster. Use this same analysis of size and temperature for the hotplates in Figure 3 to decide which of the two heating elements will cook the pot of spaghetti faster: Left, Right – or you can decide that no determination can be made. Fig 3 Questions 4, refer to the information in Figure 3. Which of the heating elements in hotplate #2 will cook the spaghetti faster?
