Explanation A vote for four candidates with the following results: ( ADBC ) ( CABD ) ( BCDA ) ( DBAC ) 7 5 4 1 . Calculation: In the Hare method, each voter votes for one candidate. If a candidate receives a majority of the votes, that candidate is the winner. If no candidate receives a majority, eliminate the candidate with the fewest first-place votes and repeat the process until there is a majority candidate, who wins. For this election, the total number of voters n = 7 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 17 is odd. Hence the majority is, 17 + 1 2 = 9 . That is the candidate having 9 or more votes win. The total number of votes for the candidate A is 7 . The total number of votes for the candidate B is 4 . The total number of votes for the candidate C is 5 . The total number of votes for the candidate D is 1 . None of the candidate A, B, C and D has 9 or more votes. Hence according to majority rule, there is no candidate declared to be the first-round winner. Therefore, eliminate the candidate with the fewest number of first-place votes. The candidate D has fewest votes, so eliminate candidate D as below, ( A D BC ) ( CAB D ) ( BC D A ) ( D BAC ) 7 5 4 1 . By eliminating candidate D the votes become: ( ABC ) ( CAB ) ( BCA ) ( BAC ) 7 5 4 1 The total number of first-place votes for the candidate A is 7

Last Chance Mine (LCM) purchased a coal deposit for $2,918,300. It estimated it would extract 18,950 tons of coal from the deposit. LCM mined the coal and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1.24 million, $13 million, and $11 million for years 1 through 3, respectively. During years 1-3, LCM reported net income (loss) from the coal deposit activity in the amount of ($11,400), $550,000, and $502,500, respectively. In years 1-3, LCM extracted 19,950 tons of coal as follows: (1) Tons of Coal 18,950 Depletion (2) Basis (2)(1) Rate $2,918,300 $154.00 Tons Extracted per Year Year 1 4,500 Year 2 8,850 Year 3 6,600 Note: Leave no answer blank.
