1.)
capacitance C = 500-microFarad = 500*10^(-6) F
ResistanceR = 4.7-Mega ohm = 4.7*10^6 ohm
Therefore, time constant T = R*C = 4.7*500 =2350.0 sec --Answer (c)
2.)
depth D = 7.6 feet
apperent depth D' = D/mu = 7.6/1.33 = 5.8 ft --Answer ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
