Suppose the table gives the number N(t), measured in thousands, of minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedures performed in the United States for various years t.

t N(t)(thousands)

(b) Construct a table of estimated values for N'(t). (Use a one-sided difference quotient with an adjacent point for the first and last values, and the average of two difference quotients with adjacent points for all other values. Round your answers to two decimal places.)

More time on the Internet: A researcher polled a sample of

1097

adults in the year

2010

, asking them how many hours per week they spent on the Internet. The sample mean was

9.42

with a standard deviation of

13.23

. A second sample of

1031

adults was taken in the year

2012

. For this sample, the mean was

10.63

with a standard deviation of

14.47

. Assume these are simple random samples from populations of adults. Can you conclude that the mean number of hours per week spent on the Internet increased between

2010

and

2012

? Let

μ1

denote the mean number of hours spent on the Internet in

2010

and

μ2

denote the mean number of hours spent on the Internet in

2012

4. Timco airlines is a large airplane maker. It recently built the T123. It can carry 500 passengers on two levels. Initial project investments were $13B. Assume that the initial investment was paid on Dec 31, 2010. Assume that Timco will produce 60 aircraft per year for five years. Each aircraft will be sold for $230M and total operating costs are 75% of revenues. Assume that revenues and costs occur at year-end with the first revenues (and costs) occurring on Dec 31, 2011. What is the NPV of the project if Timco’s cost of capital is 11%? Calculate the NPV as of Dec 31, 2010. Ignore taxes and assume that there are no terminal year cash flows. Show your work, as appropriate and clearly state your answer (5 points) 5. What is the payback period for the Timco investment outlined in #4? What does the payback period calculation mean? In other words, interpret your answer. 6. What is the Profitability Index as of Dec 31, 2010 for the Timco investment outlined in #4? 7. Timco’s CFO wants you to provide a recommendation – but based on only one of the three sets of analysis above (either NPV, Payback or Profitability Index). Which method do you choose? Why?

Income recognition for a contractor. On October 15, 2010, Flanikin Construction Company contracted to build a shopping center at a contract price of $180 million. The schedule of expected and actual cash collections and contract costs is as follows:

2010 $36,000,000 $12,000,000

2011 45,000,000 36,000,000

2012 45,000,000 48,000,000

2013 54,000,000 24,000,000

   $180,000,000 $120,000,000

A) Calculate the amount of revenue, expense, and net income for each of the four years under the following revenue recognition methods:
