This should be done in as an Excel file.
Using the simple time value of money concepts from Corporate Finance course:
a. Time to maturity from 1 year to 50 years in increments of 1 year.
For each sensitivity analysis part, a table and a graph is required. The graph should show the relationship between the variable that you changed and price of the bond. The graph type should be the smooth line kind under the charts icon that shows scatter dots.
Under each graph a sentence or two is required to explain the relationship between the variable that you changed and the bond price.
Finally, in a few sentences that compare the sensitivity of the coupon‐bond with the zero‐coupon bond for similar change in time to maturity and yield to maturity.
Sensitivity analysis = studying the effect of changing one variable value on an outcome of interest. From Corporate Finance, this analysis was done for project NPV.

Marginal Productivity of Labor
There is enough demand for donuts at Henions that the owner thinks she might be able to justify installing another fryer. Estimates of output for different numbers of workers with one fryer or with two are shown in the table below. After taking account of the cost of ingredients, Henions sells its donuts for $2.50.
Graph the value of total output with one and with two fryers.
What happens to output as more workers are hired with one and with two fryers? What happens to the rate of change in output Why?
Why does output rise with an additional fryer?
Use the data in the graph to answer the following:
How many workers will be hired and how many doughnuts made with one fryer and a wage of $45? With a wage of $25? How many workers will be hired and how many cookies made with two fryers and a wage of $45? With a wage of $25? Why are more hired with two fryers?
Since output is greater with two fryers, would you necessarily recommend that Henion’s buy a second fryer? Give two considerations you might consider in addition to the productivity effect.

Your objective is to write a well-documented simple program using classes, a loop, and nested ifs to simulate an ATM using JAVA.
1. Create an ATM class with class variables name, pin, and balance, a constructor with parameters to assign values to the three instance variables, methods to get the name, pin, and balance, and methods to handle validated deposits and withdrawals ( deposit and withdrawal amounts cannot be negative, and withdrawal amount must not be greater than the existing balance).
2. In the ATMTest class, read the names, 4 digit pin numbers, and account balances of two customers into two instances of the ATM class. Display the two customers names, pins, and balances formatted.
3. Now that you have all your customers’ information start your ATM to accomplish the following within an infinite loop,
a). Display a welcome screen with your bank’s information and prompt for and read the customer entered pin.
b). Use a nested if to match the entered pin with one of the two customers’ pins. If the entered pin number matches that of one of the customers, then:
i. Welcome the customer by name and display the balance.
ii. Display option to 1. DEPOSIT, 2. WITHDRAW or 3. EXIT.
iii. If option 1 is selected, then use the instance deposit method to prompt for deposit amount, read, and add a valid deposit amount to the customer’s balance
iv. If option 2 is selected, then use the instance withdrawal method to subtract a valid withdrawal amount from the customers balance
v. If option 3 is selected, go to step a.
4. Should the entered pin number not match either of the two customers, notify the customer that the entered pin is not valid and go to step a.
5. Selection of the EXIT option must display welcome/login screen (step a).
6. Should an incorrect option be entered, notify the user and display the original welcome/login screen (step a).

|---|---|---|---|
| Unit | $ 500,000 | 10,000 machine hours | |
| Batch | 50,000 | 500 customer orders | |

Their cranberry vinaigrette dressing required 3,000 machine hours to fill 10 customer orders for a total of 8,000 units.
(a) Assuming all manufacturing overhead is estimated and predicted on the basis of machine hours, determine the predicted total overhead costs to produce the 8,000 units of cranberry vinaigrette.
$Answer
(b) Assuming manufacturing overhead is estimated and predicted using separate rates for machine hours, customer orders, and products (a multiple-level cost hierarchy), determine the predicted total overhead costs to produce the 8,000 units of cranberry vinaigrette.
$Answer
(c) Calculate the error in predicting manufacturing overhead using machine hours versus using multiple cost drivers. Indicate whether the use of only machine hours results in overpredicting or underpredicting the costs to produce 8,000 units of cranberry vinaigrette.
$Answer
(d) Determine the error in the prediction of cranberry vinaigrette batch-level costs resulting from the use of only machine hours. Indicate whether the use of only machine hours results in overpredicting or underpredicting the batch-level costs of cranberry vinaigrette.

Manufacturing simulation:
Bob runs an online bakery. People can design custom cakes online and Bob’s company will bake them and send them out. Bob has 4 staff; Dan, Clare, Steve and Isla. Customers are charged £80 per cake. All wages are £15/hr. Ingredients are £8 per cake. Demand currently exceeds capacity. Initially assume that all staff work 8 hours per day and there are no equipment or supply limitations.
The current process is as follows:
Orders arrive at an average rate of 25 per day with a standard deviation of 6. Bob vets the orders to make sure they can be made. 5% are rejected at this stage. Bob can vet 6 cakes/hr.
Verified orders are sent to Dan who gathers all the ingredients. Dan can gather ingredients for each cake at a rate of 8 cakes/hr with a standard deviation of 1 cake/hr.
Clare mixes the ingredients and bakes the cakes. Clare can finish an average of 2 cakes/hr with a std dev of 1 cake/hr.
Steve then ices the cakes. Steve can ice 3 cakes/hr.
Isla is in charge of delivering the cakes. Isla can deliver 5 cakes/hr with a standard deviation of 2 cakes/hr.
Tasks:
A. Using Simul8 software model the current process to see where the bottlenecks are.
B. Experiment with ideas of how to improve the process.
C. Present the results of the original and improved process simulations in a clear and concise report. Make sure to show how the process was improved to increase profits.
