You are considering investing in Annie’s Eatery. You have been able to locate the following information on the firm: Total assets are $40 million, accounts receivable are $6.0 million, ACP is 30 days, net income is $4.75 million, debt-to-equity is 1.5 times, and dividend payout ratio is 45 percent. All sales are on credit. Annie’s is considering loosening its credit policy such that ACP will increase to 35 days. The change is expected to increase credit sales by 5 percent. Any change in accounts receivable will be offset with a change in debt. No other balance sheet changes are expected. Annie’s profit margin and dividend payout ratio will remain unchanged. Use the DuPont equation to determine how this change in accounts receivable policy will affect Annie’s sustainable growth rate.

1. The politician wants to allocate spending so that hospitals may purchase new and expensive cancer detection machines. At the dedication he says ‘spending this money will be worth it if this policy saves even one life”. Having taken an economics class, you roll your eyes at the political gibberish. Explain why, from the economic perspective, the politician is spouting gibberish.

I was told I need to provide an answer that focusses more on economic logic and perspective and discusses marginal costs and benefits more.

2. Given the following terms affecting the supply and demand for good ‘x’: income, resource costs, wages, technology, expected income, Ps, Pc, Px, taxes, number of sellers, productivity, tastes and preferences:

a)    Write out the Demand Relationship. Note the slope and shift terms. Identify (write out) the Demand Curve from the Relationship.

b)    Write out the Supply Relationship. Note the slope and shift terms. Identify (write out) the Supply Curve from the Relationship.

A tau protein is being studied. It is believed to have a mass between 55,000 and 62,000 g/mol. You have been given the task of determining its actual molecular mass. If you assume a mass of 58,500 g/mol, and were to dissolve 5.00mg in 1.00mL water, calculate the freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, the vapor pressure change (from 23.76 Torr at 25C), the osmotic pressure, and the height of a column of water corresponding to this osmotic pressure. Which method would you use to experimentally determine the molecular mass of this polymer. Why?

After consulting various sources, you find that Lauryn's has a reported equity beta of 1.5, a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.6, and a tax rate of 30 percent. Assume a risk-free rate of 5 percent and a market risk premium of 9 percent. Lauryn’s Doll Co. had EBIT last year of $48 million, which is net of a depreciation expense of $4.8 million. In addition, Lauryn's made $5.5 million in capital expenditures and increased net working capital by $1.8 million. Assume the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 3 percent into perpetuity.

Java Programming

Task #1 Extending the BankAccount Class

  1. Copy the files AccountDriver.java (Code Listing 10.1) and BankAccount.java(Code Listing 10.2) from the Student CD or as directed by your instructor.BankAccount.java is complete and will not need to be modified.

  2. Create a new class called CheckingAccount that extends BankAccount.

  3. It should contain a static constant FEE that represents the cost of clearing one

    check. Set it equal to 15 cents.

  4. Write a constructor that takes a name and an initial amount as parameters. It

    should call the constructor for the superclass. It should initializeaccountNumber to be the current value in accountNumber concatenated with –10 (All checking accounts at this bank are identified by the extension –10). There can be only one checking account for each account number. Remember since accountNumber is a private member in BankAccount, it must be changed through a mutator method.

  5. Write a new instance method, withdraw, that overrides the withdraw method in the superclass. This method should take the amount to withdraw, add to it the fee for check clearing, and call the withdraw method from the superclass. Remember that to override the method, it must have the same method heading. Notice that the withdraw method from the superclass returns true or falsedepending if it was able to complete the withdrawal or not. The method that overrides it must also return the same true or false that was returned from the call to the withdraw method from the superclass.

  6. Compile and debug this class.

Task #2 Creating a Second Subclass

  1. Create a new class called SavingsAccount that extends BankAccount.

  2. It should contain an instance variable called rate that represents the annual

    interest rate. Set it equal to 2.5%.

  3. It should also have an instance variable called savingsNumber, initialized to 0.

    In this bank, you have one account number, but can have several savings accounts with that same number. Each individual savings account is identified by the number following a dash. For example, 100001-0 is the first savings account you open, 100001-1 would be another savings account that is still part of your same account. This is so that you can keep some funds separate from the others, like a Christmas club account.

  4. An instance variable called accountNumber, that will hide theaccountNumber from the superclass, should also be in this class.

  5. Write a constructor that takes a name and an initial balance as parameters and calls the constructor for the superclass. It should initialize accountNumber to be the current value in the superclass accountNumber (the hidden instance variable) concatenated with a hyphen and then the savingsNumber.

Write a method called postInterest that has no parameters and returns no value. This method will calculate one month's worth of interest on the balance and deposit it into the account.

  1. Write a method that overrides the getAccountNumber method in the superclass.

  2. Write a copy constructor that creates another savings account for the same person. It should take the original savings account and an initial balance as parameters. It should call the copy constructor of the superclass, and assign thesavingsNumber to be one more than the savingsNumber of the original savings account. It should assign the accountNumber to be theaccountNumber of the superclass concatenated with the hyphen and thesavingsNumber of the new account.

  3. Compile and debug this class.

  4. Use the AccountDriver class to test out your classes. If you named and

    created your classes and methods correctly, it should not have any difficulties. If you have errors, do not edit the AccountDriver class. You must make your classes work with this program.

  5. Running the program should give the following output:

Account Number 100001-10 belonging to Benjamin Franklin
Initial balance = $1000.00
After deposit of $500.00, balance = $1500.00
After withdrawal of $1000.00, balance = $499.85
Account Number 100002-0 belonging to William Shakespeare
Initial balance = $400.00
After deposit of $500.00, balance = $900.00
Insufficient funds to withdraw $1000.00, balance = $900.00
After monthly interest has been posted, balance = $901.88
Account Number 100002-1 belonging to William Shakespeare
Initial balance = $5.00
After deposit of $500.00, balance = $505.00
Insufficient funds to withdraw $1000.00, balance = $505.00
Account Number 100003-10 belonging to Isaac Newton
