(Use Excel) For many the promise of a college degree has turned to disappointment as they find themselves struggling to find a job (Financial Times, June 1, 2012). It is especially disturbing since recent evidence suggests that graduating at bad economic times can impact the person’s earning power for a long time. An associate dean at a prestigious college wants to determine if the starting salary of his college graduates has declined from 2008 to 2010. He expects the variance of the salaries to be different between these two years. The accompanying table shows a portion of the salary data for 40 college graduates. Use Table 2.

Part II: Capital Budgeting and Uses of Financial Statements

Voice-Soft Inc. is trying to determine whether to open a new product line, Voice-Write, a speech-to-text product, which is expected to be competitive for four years. The cost of the new capital equipment including shipping and installation is $3100. The equipment will last for 4 years. They use simple straight line depreciation and the market value of the equipment at the end of the project (or it’s salvage value) is $400. For 2013 to 2016, sales are expected to be $4000, 4000, 4200, and 4200; and operating expenses, $2800, $2800, $2700, $2700. The company is expecting to lose before tax operating income of $200 per year due to Voice-Write cannibalizing its current product, Voice-Speak. Voice-Soft has a tax rate of 40% and a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 12%.

A parachutist whose mass is 65 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 1500 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the​ parachutist, with the proportionality constant b1 = 30 ​N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b2= 100 ​N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 15 ​m/sec, after how many seconds will the parachutist reach the​ ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m divided by sec squared.

The parachutist will reach the ground after ______ seconds.

A parachutist whose mass is 80 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 1000 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the​ parachutist, with the proportionality constant b1 = 30 ​N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b2 = 90 ​N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 20 ​m/sec, after how many seconds will the parachutist reach the​ ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/sec2

The parachutist will reach the ground after ______ seconds.
