Hi. I'm trying to determine Bank of America's NOPAT for FYs 2009, 2010, and 2011. I have calculated the rates to be -43.94%, -69.16%, and -728.70%, respectively, by dividing BAC's Income Tax Expense by its Income Before Tax. However, 2011's tax rate seems to be very, very low, which is wrecking havoc on my NOPAT calculation [EBIT(1-T)]. If someone could please verify for me Bank of America's effective tax rates and NOPAT for 2009, 2010, and 2011, I will gladly provide them with the best answer 10 points.

The current price of a stock is $22 and at the end of one year the price will be either $27 or $17. The risk free rate based on daily compounding is 6.0%. A 1-year call option on the stock with an exercise price of $22 is available. What is the option value?

---------------------------

I suspect that the option value is ~$2.43 . However, I am not certain of this. Anyone who can confirm or deny my answer with a brief explanation will receive best answer points.

Greetings, people of Yahoo! I recently started up my own company and am looking for someone who has extensive knowledge building, modifying, and testing codecs for audio-visual media playback. Unfortunately, this is somewhat outside of my area of expertise and I'm not sure what skills this type of programmer should have. If anyone could help direct me to the type of programmer that would work on building codecs, I would very much appreciate it.

OK Yahooligans, listen up. I've been searching for an album for two years now and haven't been able to get a hold of it because its so darned rare. The piece: 'Key 10th Memorial Score' Its a Japanese album released in limited quantities by Key Sounds Label. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Key_10th_Memo... ) It comes with a music sheet that looks like this: ( http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/10thfes/goods/goods_03... ). I don't need the sheet music, just the songs themselves; list price is of minimal concern.

There's a saying that goes 'Yahoo! Answers is the place where knowledge goes to die.' That's usually true... however, just once, can we all work together to solve a problem in this world? You know, a problem that can be solved collectively and not via a simple Yahoo/Google search? If so, I am in your debts. Do me proud, quasi-anonymous members of Yahoo!!

Assume that my team has Steve Smith (Car), Chad Ochocinco, Anquan Boldin, Calvin Johnson, Antonio Gates, Vernon Davis, and Tony Gonzalez in a keeper league. Do I make the trade or not? I would appreciate your long term and short term thoughts.

Some extra information if you would like best answer points: I would prefer if L and S were two separate words, if the flower described was white, yellow, or beige, and if could emit either a pleasant smell or none at all.

Thank you for your help in advance. I WILL choose a best answer from the questions selected, so please help if you can.

What do you guys think of this trade (see link below)? I can see it going down at the trading deadline if the Raptors don't go anywhere and Bosh continues to say he would like to play with LeBron. Z would then be bought out by the Suns, with a possibility he might resign with Cleveland. Thoughts???

When were BenQ DVD drives put in Xbox 360 conoles? Do they ever come from Microsoft in models other than Elites?

Thanks in advance. Your answer will be worth best answer points.

Hi, and thanks for looking at my question. My xbox 360 dvd player will not read games. It does not have the RROD, but still has this issue. When I put in a disk, the DVD player starts whirring and starts to read the disk, but never recognizes that there is a disk in the drive. How would I go about fixing this problem? Anyone who can help me will get best answer points. Thank you in advance for your help!

And no, you will not get any best answer points if you tell me to talk to microsoft. I would prefer the fix the DVD drive myself.

I was in my chemistry class the other day when my professor proposed the following hypothetical problem:

"Calculate the PH of a solution made by mixing 100ml of .1 Molar (X) with 100ml of .1 Molar (Y)"

He then corrected himself, saying that 100ml of Y would not make the solution a buffer system, so he changed the amount of Y to 50ml. I was under the impression that a buffer solution could not contain a strong acid or base, and could only contain a weak acid/base and its conjugate. If that is the case, then why would the amount of ml (Y) matter? Is there an exception to the rule that I do not know about? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. As always, the best answer will get best answer points. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your imput! Answer NOW!

What volume of acid (in mL) is needed to reach the equivalence point when 50.00 mL of 0.4 M CH3CH2NH2 (Kb=0.00056) is titrated with 0.4 M HCl? I know that meane I have .002M of base, but I'm stumped as to what I should do to complete this problem. If anyone can provide some suggestions which are accurate, I'll give them the best answer.

I am attempting to determine if one could make a buffer solution with a pH of about 9.0 using each of the indicated materials shown below:

1) 100 mL 0.25 M HCN (Ka = 4.9 x 10-10) and 200 mL 0.25 M NaCN

2) Mix 50 mL of 0.25 M HCl with 51 mL of 0.25 M NaOH

3) 100 mL 0.25 M CH3COOH (Ka = 1.8 x 10-5) and 300 mL 0.25 M NaOH

~My Work~

Question 1 contains a weak acid and its conjugate base. Therefore, I know it creates a buffer solution, but I am unsure if it is a buffer @ a ph of about 9.0 . Using approximation, I derived the computation

4.9E(-10)=(.05x)/(.25) to get a Ph of 9.6 . Is this correct? Could it be deemed 'close'?

Question 2 contains a strong acid and a strong base, so it can't be a buffer solution, correct?

Question 3 contains a strong base and a weak acid, so it shouldn't be able to make a buffer solution, correct?

Some feedback would be appreciated in your answer. You will get best answer credit if you do and the information is accurate. Thank you in advance!

Can anyone give me a search team for live.com's promotion with ebay to get 30% off of an item purchase? Everything I search for gets 20-25% off. I want to make a large purchase, but will only get it if I get the 30% off. so, once again...anyone know a search term that would get 30% off on Ebay?
