You have just arrived at a SnappyPrints Inc., a maker of photo printers.  You are working in the Financial Planning department and have joined a team conducting capital budgeting analysis. Snappy is considering two new projects. Project Mini Printer (PMP) and Project High Speed Printer (HSP).  The WACC is 10%.  

                                   0                      1                      2                      3

                                   |                      |                      |                      |

Project PMP ($    -150                   40                   75                   100

Project PHS ($)   -150                   65                   75                    85

Answer the following questions:

14.  What is the payback period?  Find the discounted and regular paybacks for the Projects.

15.  What is the difference between the regular and discounted payback methods?

16.  What are the two main disadvantages of discounted payback?  Is the payback method useful in capital budgeting decisions?  Explain.

Upon further analysis, SnappyPrints believes that sales of the new High-Speed Printer would cannibalize the sales of its existing I-Phone Rapid Print Accessory by 50%, resulting in lost annual cash flow of $25.  

  1. How can we define/what do we call this effect?
  2. Should this effect be included in the cash flow projections?   
  3. If so, which project should be accepted?

Make a LandTract class with the following fields:

• length - an int containing the tract's length
• width - an int containing the tract's width

The class should also have the following methods:

• area - returns an int representing the tract's area
• equals - takes another LandTract object as a parameter and returns a boolean saying
whether or not the two tracts have the same dimensions (This applies regardless of whether the dimensions match up. i.e., if the length of the first is the same as the width of the other and vice versa, that counts as having equal dimensions.)
• toString - returns a String with details about the LandTract object in the format:
LandTract object with length 30 and width 40
(If, for example, the LandTract object had a length of 30 and a width of 40.)

Write a separate program that asks the user to enter the dimensions for the two tracts of
land (in the order length of the first, width of the first, length of the second, width of the second). The program should print the output of two tracts' toString methods followed by a sentence stating whether or not the tracts have equal dimensions. (If the tracts have the same dimensions, print, "The two tracts have the same size." Otherwise, print, "The two tracts do not have the same size.") Print all three statements on separate lines.

The accompanying table lists the​ "attribute" ratings made by a random sample of participants in a speed dating session. Each attribute rating is the sum of the ratings of five attributes​ (sincerity, intelligence,​ fun, ambition, shared​ interests). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that there is a difference between female attribute ratings and male attribute ratings.

Write a loop that sets each array element to the sum of itself and the next element, except for the last element which stays the same. Be careful not to index beyond the last element. Ex:

Initial scores:        10, 20, 30, 40
Scores after the loop: 30, 50, 70, 40

The first element is 30 or 10 + 20, the second element is 50 or 20 + 30, and the third element is 70 or 30 + 40. The last element remains the same.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
const int SCORES_SIZE = 4;
int bonusScores[SCORES_SIZE];
int i;

for (i = 0; i < SCORES_SIZE; ++i) {
cin >> bonusScores[i];
}

/* Your solution goes here */

for (i = 0; i < SCORES_SIZE; ++i) {
cout << bonusScores[i] << " ";
}
cout << endl;

return 0;

Derby Company produces baseball gloves and cricket gloves. It has two departments that process all products. During July, the beginning Work-in-Process in the Cutting department was half completed as to conversion, and fully complete as to direct materials. The beginning inventory included $40,000 for materials and $60,000 for conversion costs. Ending work-in-process inventory in the Cutting department was 40% complete. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process.

Beginning Work-in-Process in the Finishing department was 80% complete as to conversion. Direct materials for Finishing the units are added near the end of the process and conversion costs are added evenly throughout. Beginning inventories included $28,000 for transferred-in costs and $32,000 for conversion costs. Ending inventory was 30% complete.
