Spline interpolation, Use Matlab code
Write your own spline method to estimate the value of the function on x ∈ [0,8],Δx = 0.1. For your 2 degrees of freedom, set the first and second
derivatives at the left boundary to 0. Save your result, the interpolated y values.(do not use Matlab's built-in spline method

Start with a Person class, and create a multiset to hold pointers to person objects. Define the multiset with the comparePersons function object, so it will be sorted automatically by names of person. Define a half-dozen persons, put them in the multiset, and display its contents. Several of the persons should have the same name, to verify that multiset stores multiple object with the same key. Also allow the user to search a person object by the last name and the first name.

Suppose the demand functions facing a wireless telephone monopolist are QdL=100−200P for each low-demand consumer and QdH=120−200P for each high-demand consumer, where P is the per-minute price in dollars. The marginal cost is $0.02 per minute. Suppose the monopolist offers a menu of two-part tariff plans, with one plan intended for each type of consumer. Suppose too that for any per-minute price PL in the low-demand plan, the fixed fee in the low-demand plan leaves a low-demand consumer with zero surplus; that the number of minutes in the low-demand plan is capped at the number of minutes desired by a low-demand consumer at that plan's per-minute price; and that the high-demand plan has a per-minute price of $0.02 per minute and a fixed fee that leaves the high-demand consumer approximately indifferent between the low- and high-demand plans. Suppose that there are 100 high-demand consumers and 400 low-demand consumers. Will the monopolist's profit be higher when the per-minute price in the low-demand plan is $0.07 or $0.12? Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places as needed.

a. Suppose the monopolist's per-minute price in the low-demand plan is $0.07.

Profit = $.

b. Now suppose the monopolist's per-minute price in the low-demand plan is $0.12.

Profit = $.

Suppose the demand functions facing a wireless telephone monopolist are

          QdL=60−200P

for each low-demand consumer and

          QdH=160−200P

for each high-demand consumer, where P is the per-minute price in dollars. The marginal cost is $0.10 per minute. Suppose the monopolist offers a menu of two-part tariff plans, with one plan intended for each type of consumer. Suppose too that for any per-minute price P_L in the low-demand plan, the fixed fee in the low-demand plan leaves a low-demand consumer with zero surplus; that the number of minutes in the low-demand plan is capped at the number of minutes desired by a low-demand consumer at that plan's per-minute price; and that the high-demand plan has a per-minute price of $0.10 per minute and a fixed fee that leaves the high-demand consumer approximately indifferent between the low- and high-demand plans. Suppose that there are 200 high-demand consumers and 400 low-demand consumers. Will the monopolist's profit be higher when the per-minute price in the low-demand plan is $0.15 or $0.20?

Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places as needed.

a. Suppose the monopolist's per-minute price in the low-demand plan is $0.15.

    Profit = $.

b. Now suppose the monopolist's per-minute price in the low-demand plan is $0.20.

    Profit = $.

Lou Barlow, a divisional manager for Sage Company, has an opportunity to manufacture and sell one of two new products for a five-year period.

Nautical Creations is one of the largest producers of miniature ships in a bottle. An especially complex part of one of the ships needs special production equipment that is not useful for other products. The company purchased this equipment early in 2016 for $200,000. It is now early in 2020, and the manager of the Model Ships Division, Jeri Finley, is thinking about purchasing new equipment to make this part. The current equipment will last for six more years with zero disposal value at that time. It can be sold immediately for $30,000. The following are last year's total manufacturing costs, when production was 7,800 ships:

The cost of the new equipment is $135,000. It has a six year useful life with an estimated disposal value at that time of $50,000. The sales representative selling the new equipment stated, "The new equipment will allow direct labor and variable overhead combined to be reduced by a total of $2.05 per unit." Finley thinks this estimate is accurate, but also knows that a higher quality of direct material will be necessary with the new equipment, costing $0.23 more per unit. Fixed overhead costs will decrease by $4,700.

Finley expects production to be 8,350 ships in each of the next six years. Assume a discount rate of 5%.

REQUIRED

1. What is the difference in net present values if Nautical Creations buys the new equipment instead of keeping their current equipment?

Present Value of $1.00

Present Value of an Annuity of $1.00

QUESTION 3

On 1 January 2018, MM Bhd acquired a fast food franchise for RM300,000. The legal life of the franchise is seven (7) years while the economic useful life is six (6) years. On 31 December 2018, the franchise was revalued at RM340,000. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 at the end of year 2019, sale of fast food from the franchise is declining. Impairment test conducted showed that the fair value of the franchise was RM250,000. At this date the current trend of the outbreak indicates further sale declining in the next six (6) months. The company adopts the revaluation model to record the franchise.

However, there is no active market available for this type of soft drink. On 31 December 2019, impairment test conducted showed the recoverable amount of the brand was RM310,000.

Financial year end for the company is 31 December.

REQUIRED:

1. Prepare journal entries to record the accounting treatment related to the franchise of MM Bhd on 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019.
2. Explain the accounting treatment for the soft drink brand of MM Bhd on 31 December 2019.
