Q. On a Friday morning, the pro shop of a tennis club has 10 identical cans of tennis balls. If they are all sold by Sunday night and we are interested only in how many were sold on each day, in how many different ways could the cans of tennis balls has been sold on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

As a settlement for an insurance​ claim, Craig was offered one of two choices. He could either accept a​ lump-sum amount of ​$8799 ​now, or accept monthly payments of $129 for the next seven years. If the money is placed into a trust fund earning 5.55​% compounded annually​, which is the better option and by how​ much?

Option A - Monthly Payments

Option B - Lump Sum

. During Year One, Company A and Company Z both sell 1,000 computers for $1,000 each in cash. Company A provides a one-year warranty to its customers for free. Company Z sells a one-year warranty to all of its customers for $50 each. Both companies expect 5 percent of the computers to break and cost $600 each to repair. In Year Two, both companies actually have 6 percent of these computers break. However, the required cost to fix each one was only $550.

Compare the widths of the two intervals to each other. Choose the correct answer below.

A.The prediction interval for brand A is larger than the prediction interval for brand B because the estimated standard error of y^ is different for the two intervals.

B. The standard error for the estimated mean value of y is smaller than the standard error for the predicted value of y.

C. The standard error for the estimated mean value of y is larger than the standard error for the predicted value of y.

D. The value of t α/2 for the estimated mean value of y is larger than the value of t α/2 for the predicted value of y.

c. Suppose you were asked to predict the useful life of a brand A cutting tool for a cutting speed of x=100 meters per minute. Because the given value of x is outside the range of the sample​ x-values, the prediction is an example of extrapolation. Predict the useful life of a brand A cutting tool that is operated at 100 meters per minute and construct a 95​% prediction interval for the actual useful life of the tool. What additional assumption do you have to make in order to ensure the validity of an​ extrapolation?

The predicted useful life of a brand A cutting tool that is operated at 100 meters per minute is _____ hours. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

The actual predicted useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the speed is 100 meters per minute is ______ to ____ hours. (Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

What additional assumption do you have to make in order to ensure the validity of an​ extrapolation?

A.The linear regression is an accurate model when x=100.

B.The value of t α/2 can be found for x=100.

C.There is no additional assumption required.

Sora Industries has 65 million outstanding​ shares,$130 million in​ debt, $50 million in​ cash, and the following projected free cash flow for the next four​ years

a. Suppose​ Sora's revenue and free cash flow are expected to grow at a 5.4% rate beyond year four. If​ Sora's weighted average cost of capital is

9.0%​, what is the value of Sora stock based on this​ information?

b.​ Sora's cost of goods sold was assumed to be​ 67% of sales. If its cost of goods sold is actually​ 70% of​ sales, how would the estimate of the​ stock's value​ change?

c. Return to the assumptions of part (a​) and suppose Sora can maintain its cost of goods sold at​ 67% of sales.​ However, the firm reduces its​ selling, general, and administrative expenses from​ 20% of sales to​ 16% of sales. What stock price would you estimate​ now? (Assume no other​ expenses, except​ taxes, are​ affected.)

d.​ Sora's net working capital needs were estimated to be​ 18% of sales​ (their current level in year​ zero). If Sora can reduce this requirement to​ 12% of sales starting in year​ 1, but all other assumptions are as in ​(a​), what stock price do you estimate for​ Sora? ​(Hint​: This change will have the largest impact on​ Sora's free cash flow in year​ 1.)

                  Assume a firm has cash of $10 and a project that is either worth $130 or $80 (50% chance of each). The firm owes $110 to the bank. Similar to the example in class, the following shows the value of assets, debt, and equity where the amounts are calculated based on expected values.

Assume the firm is considering a new project which requires an initial investment of $5. If the new project is accepted, the $5 will be paid for using the firm’s cash. The new project has a $10 cash flow in the good state (i.e., increasing the “project” cash flows in the good state from $130 to $140). In the bad state, the new project’s cash flow is -$10 (i.e., decreasing the “project” cash flows in the bad state from $80 to $70). What is the expected value of the firm’s equity if the firm decides to accept this new project?

Refer back to the facts in the previous problem. What is the expected value of the firm’s debt if the firm decides to accept this new project?

Have to use C language
Pseudocode
A #define called BITS should be set at the top of the program. It should be set to 8 when the program is submitted. This
define should be used throughout the entire program when setting/using array sizes/max element. This define will also
be used in the output to print 8-bit vs 16 bit. Your program should function whether the define is set to 8 or to 16.
Part of the grading process will be to change the define from 8 to 16 and to recompile your program to see if your program still
runs properly. See sample output.
main()
Print instructions (see sample output below)
Prompt for and store both numbers and the operator. Use only one scanf() to store all three values.
While either number is less than 0 or more than 255, continue to prompt for input until a valid number is entered (hint
– use a while loop). See sample output below.
Call function ConvertDecimalToBinary() to convert the first number to binary.
Call function ConvertDecimalToBinary() to convert the second number to binary.
If the entered operator is an allowed operator, then convert the result to binary and print the decimal result and
binary result as seen in the sample code.
ConvertDecimalToBinary()
Return type : void
Parameters :
int containing the decimal value to be converted
char array (hint : the array is passed empty from main() and this function fills it so when the function
finishes, the array back in main() will contain the values added in the function).
This function will use a method of decimal to binary conversion called “Divide in Half, Ignore the Remainder”. Please
watch the following video for a demonstration of the method.
https://youtu.be/XdZqk8BXPwg
Create a local int array. This array will store the result of each divide by 2 which will be accomplished using
bitshifting instead of division to divide the number in half. Use a bitmask to determine if an array element if odd (1) or
even (0). YOU MUST USE THIS METHOD IN THIS ASSIGNMENT.
Using a for loop, loop over the int array and write each element into the char array that was passed in. Hint : keep
in mind what the ASCII value is for the number zero when writing the int array element into the char array. If you
store the number 65 in a char, it will be ‘A’ so if you want to store the number 0 in a char array, you will need to …?
HINT : make sure your char arrays are one bigger than the number of BITS so that you have room for the null terminator so
that %s prints correctly.
