The cost of capital for Project A is assumed to be 14%.

For Project B, which is the riskier project of the two, a risk-adjusted cost of capital of 15% is applied.

(a) Assess the projects using the investment appraisal technique of Net Present Value.

(b) Assess them using the investment appraisal technique of Internal Rate of Return.

Balance sheet

If the net income during the year was 900 and depreciation was 100 how much was the net cash from operations. (see slide 6 of chapter 3 PowerPoint for net cash from operations calculation)

The following percentages apply to Rundle Company for Year 3 and Year 4: Year 4 Year 3 Sales 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of goods sold 61.0 64.1 Gross margin 39.0 35.9 Selling and administrative expense 26.5 20.6 Interest expense 2.3 2.0 Total expenses 28.8 22.6 Income before taxes 10.2 13.3 Income tax expense 5.5 7.1 Net income 4.7 % 6.2 % Required Assuming that sales were $515,000 in Year 3 and $595,000 in Year 4, prepare income statements for the two years.

The following percentages apply to Stuart Company for Year 3 and Year 4:

Required
Assuming that sales were $515,000 in Year 3 and $585,000 in Year 4, prepare income statements for the two years.

Question 3

Again ignore any trend or seasonality in the data.  Suppose the company uses exponential smoothing to make forecasts.  

1. What are the forecasts for periods Q2 Year 1 through Q4 Year 5 assuming alpha = 0.3. Assume that the forecast for Q1 Year 1 was 25 units.
2. What are the forecasts for periods Q2 Year 1 through Q4 Year 5 assuming alpha = 0.8.  Assume that the forecast for Q2 Year 1 was 25 units.
3. Compare the accuracies of the forecasts in (a) and (b) using Mean Absolute Percent Error.  Which value of alpha gives us the better forecasts?

Question 4

Now make adjustments for trend and seasonality.

1. Quantify the trend in the time series.  What does the trend equation tell you?  
2. Quantify the seasonality in the time series by calculating seasonality indexes.  What do these indexes tell you?
3. Using the trend and the seasonality information from (a) and (b) make forecasts from Q1 Year 1 through Q4 Year 5.  
4. Use MAPE to calculate the accuracy of your forecasts.

Question 5

1. Compare the preferred method in Question 2, the preferred method in Question 3, and the method in Question 4.  Which one would you choose on the basis of MAPE?
2. Using the method in Question 4 make forecasts for the 4 quarters of Year 6.

eMAR yearly cost comparison Yearly costs Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 eMAR A $150,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 eMAR B $75,000 $75,000 $75,000 $75,000 $75,000 $75,000 eMAR labor cost comparison Cost of labor Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 eMAR A $100,000 $1,000 $1,000 $1,000 $1,000 $1,000 eMAR B $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 14. Complete the table below by adding the yearly costs and cost of labor for years one through six for eMAR A and eMAR B. What are the six-year projected total costs for eMAR A and eMAR B? Cumulative costs (answer table) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 eMAR A eMAR B Review the General Hospital barcoded eMAR implementation power point slides that are to be presented to the Selection Committee (found under 1: Overview & Resources along with this activity document). Then answer the following questions.

15. Slide three mentions that a Centralized data repository exists between General Hospital, where the medication orders are placed and the medications are dispensed, and Lakeview Pharmacy, where the medication orders are filled and barcoded. After reading the resource Health Information Exchange, explain how a Centralized data repository may impact the eMAR selection and implementation process.

16. On slide nine barcoded medication carts were scored by end-users for workflow, ergonomic, and durability. Based on the end-user score, which system would you recommend?

A garage is installing a new​ "bubble-wash" car wash. It will promote the car wash as a fun activity for the​ family, and it is expected that the novelty of this approach will boost sales in the medium term. If the cost of capital is 88​%,by using the data in the table​ above, calculate the net present value​ (NPV) of this project.

A 30 y male was delivered to andrology department for medical evaluation due to ineffective sexual competency. His physical examination and interview with the specialized physician revealed some other symptoms that were related to wounds that won’t heal, unexplained weight loss, hair loss, lack of alertness and sometimes diarrhea. These symptoms were seen in the last 6 months only and nothing seen before.

There are four bays of frames in the side elevation. Roof is made out of trusses. As part of your planning you are requested to prepare the following. a. Roughly Sketch the frame b. Indicate different loads you will consider and the combination of loads. c. Show the load path. Of the vertical and Horizontal load being carried from the roof to the soil d. Give examples of sub frames you will use to analyse elements to get values of B.M, S.F and Axial force. e. Discuss the method of analysis you will adapt and why? f. Kind of connections and bracing you will use and why? g. Discuss the steps you will take to meet the requirements as regard to Fire resistance, fatigue failure and corrosion protection. I need a better solution than the one in your site. Also please do not mention lacing and battern system. Can I please have clear answer with explanation ?
