James v Meow Media, Inc 2002: James was a high school student killed by another student who played violent video games made by the defendant. The killer had been infatuated with 'first person shooter' games and it was the deceased family's argument that the video game made the him more likely to play out his fantasy by killing their son. James’ family sued the video game manufacturer, Meow Media, for negligence.

Meow prevailed based, in part, on the conclusion by the Court that there was no expectation that a third party will commit an intentional tort after playing a video game. Is there an argument, however, counter to that? Which negligence element is the most relevant to this case? Any others? Can you think of a basis to keep the suit alive other than a moralistic view?

Bonnaroo is a four-day music festival held every summer in Tennessee since 2002. Suppose the mean attendance for the festival is 80,726 people with a standard deviation of 3,173. Assume the number of people attending the festival is normally distributed. Use the Empirical Rule to answer parts a - c:  

  1. Organizers of the festival can expect between____and_____ people to attend the festival 68% of the time.
  2. Approximately______% of festivals will be attended by less than 74,380 people.
  3. If attendance this year is in the top 2.5%, then the attendance would be______ or more people.
  4. Mumford & Sons was one of the headline acts this year, and organizers anticipated a high attendance. An attendance of 95,000 people would be_____ standard deviations_______ (above or below) the mean. (In the first box, you should enter the standardized value rounded to 3 decimal places.

An article in IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (Vol. 2, 2002, pp. 667–670) describes the quantification of the absorption of electromagnetic energy and the resulting thermal effect from cellular phones. The experimental results were obtained from in vivo experiments conducted on rats. The arterial blood pressure values (mmHg) for the control group (8 rats) during the experiment are X1 = 90, s1 = 5 and for the test group (9 rats) are X2 = 115,s2 = 10.

(a) Is there evidence to support the claim that the test group has higher mean blood pressure? Assume that both populations are normally distributed but the variances are not equal. Answer this question by finding the P-value for this test.

The test group has ( higher OR the same OR smaller)  mean blood pressure, since P-value ( > 0.05 OR < 0.05)

(b) Calculate 95% one sided CI to answer the claim in (a). Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

Question B1

In 2002, Musk sold his second internet startup, PayPal, to eBay for $1.5 billion. His first company, a Web software firm, was acquired by Compaq. Currently, Musk is the CEO of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and Tesla Motors, and also the chairman and the largest shareholder of SolarCity, an energy technology company. SpaceX, which builds rockets for companies and countries to put satellites in space, was the first private company to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. It’s reigniting interest in space exploration. Tesla Motors is the world’s most prominent maker of electric cars and is proving that electric cars can be green, sexy, and profitable. SolarCity is now the leading provider of domestic solar panels in the United States. Each of these ventures has transformed an industry: PayPal – Internet payments; Tesla – automobiles; SpaceX – aeronautics; and SolarCity – energy. (Modified from source: Kristoffer Tripplaar/Sipa USA (Sipa via AP Images)

Based on the above case, name the type of problems Musk deal with when developing these new ventures.

B2

In early 2020, Hong Kong was hit by a disease – Coronavirus. As more and more people were infected with Coronavirus, citizens had adopted the practice of wearing masks whenever they got out of their homes. Thousands of people lined up in streets and wait overnight for a chance to purchase masks for themselves and their families. The price of masks, when they were available, had increased from HK$1 a piece to HK$10 or even more. Mr. Wong was a restaurant owner. He was shocked by the situation and he wanted to help. He tried to purchase masks from sources all over the world but was unsuccessful most of the times. Through an old friend in Egypt, he finally found a mask manufacturer in Egypt – the Pyramid Mask (PM). PM agreed to sell a machine that can produce 100,000 masks per day to Mr. Wong. They could also supply all the raw materials that were needed to manufacture the masks. As Mr. Wong is not a technical person, PM even agreed to send an engineer to Hong Kong for 3 months to solve all the problems that were expected in starting a new factory. However, PM insisted that the products must be sold under PM’s brand name and Mr. Wong had to pay a fee.

Based on the above case, identify the approach Mr. Wong used to go international.

Analysis of Changes in

Profitability and Growth: Cisco Systems, Inc.

1

By any stretch of the imagination, Cisco System

s (CSCO) has been a strong growth company. A

darling of the Internet boom of

the late 1990s, it was one of the few technology companies tied to

the Internet and telecommunications

that prospered during that era.

Its products - networking and

communications equipment such as router and sw

itching devices - built the infrastructure of the

Internet. While most Internet

and telecommunications firms str

uggled and failed, their supplier,

Cisco, capitalized on the new technology. At one poi

nt in 2000, its market capitalization was over

half a trillion dollars, the largest market capitaliza

tion of any firm ever.

Its stock price increased

from $10 in 1995 to $80 in 2000, supported by sales growth from $2.0 billion in 1995 to $18.9

billion 2000.

In early 2000, Cisco’s P/E stood at 130 so investors

saw plenty of room for more earnings growth.

However, with the subsequent collapse

of the technology bubble

and the demise of

telecommunications firm such as WorldCom, Qwes

t, and AT&T, the anticipated growth failed to

materialize. Indeed, in 2001 Cisco wrote down

inventory by an astonish

ing $2.3 billion (under the

lower-of-cost-or-market rule), to reflect the dr

op in demand for its products and the emergence of

second-hand telecom equipment market.

Exhibit 1 presents Cisco’s income statements fo

r the fiscal years 2000-2002 and balance sheets for

1999-2002. The exhibit also includes

the cash flow from operations a

nd cash investing sections of

the cash flow statements. The 2000 sales of $18

.9 billion were up from $12.2 billion in 1999 and

$8.5 billion in 1998, a tremendous gr

owth record. But subsequent

sales growth was not as

impressive, as you can see, and led to declini

ng earnings. Indeed, Cisc

o posted a loss for 2001.

Lower earnings on increasing shareholders’ equity clea

rly implies that residual income is declining.

By the end of 2002, Cisco’s shares traded

at $15, well down from the 2000 high of $80.

Other information, most of the from the 10-K f

ootnotes, that was useful in reformulating the

financial statements is presented below. Note th

at the cash flow statements from Exhibit 1 are

particularly useful for identifying core income becau

se some of the items in the reconciliation of net

income to cash flow from operati

ng activities involve unusual items.

Questions:

1.

What adjustments are necessary to reformulate

the income statements and balance sheets to

properly separate financ

ing from operations?

2.

What adjustments are necessary to separate

core operations from othe

r sources of income?

What items are identified as

core in the Balance Sheet?

3.

Calculate Core RNOA and decompose the ratio for Cisco for 2002 and 2001.

1.

Long-term investments are comprised of the following:

2002

2001

2000

1999

Equity investments 567 1,529 6,225 877

Debt investments 8,233 8,817 7,463 6,155

8,800 10,346 13,688

7,032

All short-term investments ar

e debt investments. Restri

cted investments are debt

investments.

2.

$50 million of cash and equivalents

is regarded as operating cash.

3.

“Interest and other income” in the income statements is composed as follows.

2002

2001 2000

Interest income 895 967 577

Gain (loss) on investments (1,104) 163 531

(209) 1,130

1,108

The gain on investments applies mainly to

debt and equity investments, but does include

some derivative

gains and losses and other small items.

4.

The change in accumulated other comprehensiv

e loss for all years was due almost entirely

to unrealized gains and lo

sses on debt investments.

5.

Cisco’s income tax rate (combined

federal and state) is 36.8 percent.
