Lab background:

I set up two styrofoam cups attached together by an aluminum transfer bar (a conductor). One cup contained 200g of boiling water, while the other cup contained only 100g of ice water. Every two minutes, I took the temperature of both the cups. There were two slits on the top of the enclosed styrofoam cups to allow a thermometer to take the temperature of both of the contents in the two cups. It seems as though, the hot water LOST heat nearly twice as fast as the cold water gained heat.

Question 1: Why did this happen??? Does it have to do with the different volumes/ surface area?

Question 2: I later calculated the heat lost by the hot water and the heat gained by the cold water (which, technically, should be the same consiering the laws of thermodynamics). Heat lost= 27720 J and heat gained= 11340 J. So they are clearly not the same ... what 2 reasons could cause the difference???

Questions 3: How do I estimate at which both containers should stabilize???

“I’m not sure we should lay out $345,000 for that automated welding machine,” said Jim Alder, president of the Superior Equipment Company. “That’s a lot of money, and it would cost us $93,000 for software and installation, and another $58,800 per year just to maintain the thing. In addition, the manufacturer admits it would cost $56,000 more at the end of three years to replace worn-out parts.”

“I admit it’s a lot of money,” said Franci Rogers, the controller. “But you know the turnover problem we’ve had with the welding crew. This machine would replace six welders at a cost savings of $123,000 per year. And we would save another $8,400 per year in reduced material waste. When you figure that the automated welder would last for six years, I’m sure the return would be greater than our 14% required rate of return.”

“I’m still not convinced,” countered Mr. Alder. “We can only get $21,500 scrap value out of our old welding equipment if we sell it now, and in six years the new machine will only be worth $39,000 for parts. But have your people work up the figures and we’ll talk about them at the executive committee meeting tomorrow.”

Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

Required:

1. Compute the annual net cost savings promised by the automated welding machine.

2a. Using the data from (1) above and other data from the problem, compute the automated welding machine’s net present value.

2b. Would you recommend purchasing the automated welding machine?

3. Assume that management can identify several intangible benefits associated with the automated welding machine, including greater flexibility in shifting from one type of product to another, improved quality of output, and faster delivery as a result of reduced throughput time. What minimum dollar value per year would management have to attach to these intangible benefits in order to make the new welding machine an acceptable investment?

Explain at least one practical value of classifying an organization's total costs into direct and indirect costs.

Consider the following code. Explain what this code does and determine the output. Let us discuss.

using namespace std;
int top;
void check (char str[ ], int n, char stack [ ])
{
for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i++ )
{
if (str [ i ] == ‘(’)
{
top = top + 1;
stack[ top ] = ‘ ( ’;
}
if(str[ i ] == ‘)’ )
{
if(top == -1 )
{
top = top -1 ;
break ;
}
else
{
top = top -1 ;
}
}
}
if(top == -1)
cout << “String is balanced!” << endl;
else
cout << “String is unbalanced!” << endl ;
}

int main ( )
{

char str[ ] = { ‘(‘ , ‘a’ , ‘+’, ‘ ( ’, ‘b ’ , ‘-’ , ‘ c’ ,‘)’ , ‘ ) ’} ;

char str1 [ ] = { ‘(’ , ‘(’ , ‘a’ , ‘ + ’ , ‘ b’ , ‘)’ } ;
char stack [ 15 ] ;
top = -1;
check (str , 9 , stack ); //Passing balanced string
top = -1 ;
check(str1 , 5 , stack) ; //Passing unbalanced string

}

How it functions for the assignment:
* If a button contains a letter you want to type, click on the button N number of times associated to the order the letters are in. So if you wanted "c", you push the second button 3 times.
* If you push the button more than the number of letters in the button, it will wrap-around and return the letter after. For example, clicking the first button 5 times returns "b".
* (Bonus 5 points) The input field only shows the letter once you've completed a sequence of < 500 ms clicks. If you stop clicking for > 500 ms, the letter associated with the number of clicks so far, is appended to the input string.

Suppose we have a dataset DD in a regression problem.

1. What will happen to the in-sample error of linear regression using polynomials of degree dd as d→∞d→∞?

2. What will happen to the out-of-sample error of linear regression as dd increases?

You can use the output of the code below to help you form your answer.

CODE BELOW:

x = np.linspace(xmin,xmax,1000)
D = 14

N = 100
shuff = np.random.permutation(len(x))
x_pts = np.array(sorted(x[shuff][:N]))

K = 200
train_vals = np.zeros(D*K).reshape(K,D)
test_vals = np.zeros(D*K).reshape(K,D)
noise = np.random.randn(N)
y = np.sin(x_pts)+ noise/7

for k in range(K):
    shuff = np.random.permutation(len(x))
    x_pts = np.array(sorted(x[shuff][:N]))
    noise = np.random.randn(N)
    y = np.sin(x_pts)+ noise/7
    for i,deg in enumerate(range(D)):
        X = np.ones(N*deg).reshape(N,deg)
        for j in range(1,deg):
            X[:,j] = x_pts**j
        X_train,X_test,y_train,y_test = test_train_split(X,y,0.13)

        w = linear_fit(X_train,y_train)

        g_train = linear_predict(X_train,w)
        g_test = linear_predict(X_test,w)

        r_train = RMSE(g_train,y_train)
        r_test = RMSE(g_test,y_test)
        train_vals[k][i] = r_train
        test_vals[k][i] = r_test

I plan on retiring at 70 years of age, I want to retire with a net income of $105,000 a year, total. I anticipate that social security will fund $20,000 of this total, but the social security will be taxable at 25%. The other portion is a ROTH IRA and not taxable at retirement.

How much will I need to have earned to fund this retirement at age 70 if I believe that I can retire for 30 years, to age 100, (no money left at 100, so it will be an annuity type investment, not perpetuity). I plan on earning 3.9% on my nest egg, or retirement savings for those 30 years. (lump sum). Round to the nearest dollar.
