Calculate the Internal Rate of Return of each of the following potential investments and recommend whether or not to include them in the upcoming capital budget given that the firm’s cost of capital is 14.5%.

1. New Software:

• Initial Cost                        $25,000
• Training Cost                    $12,000
• Annual Cost Savings         $10,500
• Useful Life                        6 Years

2. Machine A or Machine B

Note: The key word here is “or”. One or the other machine must be bought. So, the analysis should be based on the incremental cash flows resulting from the more expensive alternative.

• Annual Production in units                                   40,000
• Cost of Machine A                                               $38,000
• Cost of Machine B                                                $32,000
• Unit Cost to Produce on Machine A                    $2.20
• Unit Cost to Produce on Machine B                     $2.22
• Useful Life                                                            12 Years

For this assignment, consider the research and analysis from prior assignments and apply the "Conceptual Framework for Managerial Costing," as discussed in the topic materials. Follow the process outlined in the "Where to Start" section of this topic resource. Assume Apple Inc is considering making a change, such as adding a new product or entering new markets. Your task is to determine what the "change" could be and the steps that would need to be taken in the decision-making process.

In a 700 word memo to the chief operating officer (COO) of Apple Inc, address the following.

1. Summarize the proposed change Apple Inc is considering.
2. Discuss the specific information that must be collected to perform the analysis on the proposed change.
3. Discuss the scope of the analysis and what parameters will be used to determine whether the proposed change should be made.

In a homogeneous product duopoly, each firm has constant marginal cost equal to 10. The market inverse demand curve is p = 250 – 2Q where Q = q1 + q2 is the sum of the outputs of firms 1 and 2, and p is the price of the good. Marginal and average cost for each firm is 10. Word limit per question: 400 words (200 words per part of question)

(a) What are the Cournot and Bertrand equilibrium quantities and prices in this market? In a two period version of the model in which each firm can observe the other’s behaviour in the first period, will the firms collude?

(b) Find the outcome for the Stackelberg model, assuming firm 1 is the “leader” (i.e., moves first) and firm 2 is the “follower” (i.e., moves second).

In this Post-task activity, you will apply what you have learned in this module, by the documentary of the 3 older adults in the video "Lessons from 100 years old".  You can watch the video in HA RLE Module 4 Check-in Activity.

Instruction:

• You are to observe the older adults in the video.

• Take note on the physical changes that occurs among older adult. (You can appreciate the changes by comparing the normal adult physical assessment to older adults)

• You will submit a proper documentation of findings written in narrative to be submitted in word format. Please follow the format given below for your documentation.

• Your documentation must be short and concise in writing your findings.

• Follow the sequence in your assessment that is cephalo-caudal.

This is the question, there is nothing that part of it, this is the only information given for this problem so please do not answer saying it needs more information because this is all I was given like I said. (Solve A and B)

A. Given a general short run production function y=f(x), where x is the single variable input and y is the output. what properties should we reasonably expect y=f(x) to possess so that it is "WELL BEHAVED".?

B. Now consider a quadratic polynomial production function y=2x^a. Assuming the input, x, is essential for production of y, what must be true of the signs and magnitudes of the parameter, a, so that the production function is "WELL BEHAVED"? Provide mathematical proofs and word explanations in your answer.
