Suppose Anheuser-Busch InBev is considering introducing a new ultra-light beer with zero calories to be called BudZero. The firm believes that the beer’s flavor and appeal to calorie-conscious drinkers will make it a success. The cost of bringing the beer to market is $200 million, but Anheuser-Busch InBev expects first year incremental free cash flows from BudZero to be $100 million and to grow at 3% per year thereafter. If Anheuser-Busch InBev’s WACC is 5.7%, should it go ahead with the project?

ABC Zimbabwe Limited is a private company wholly(100%) owned by a Zimbabwean with its headoffice in Harare.The company is into the manufacturing and selling of earth moving equipment to the mines,construction companies and the government in the country and the COMESA region.You have been appointed as the marketing manager for ABC Zimbabwe Limited and your first task is to present a single paper to management identifying and recommending the type of marketing channels the organisation would use,the function of the marketing channels and the criteria you would use to select the channels if any?

We consider a GSP auction with four bidders, A, B, C and D. Since there are four bidders only the three highest bidders will be displayed). The click frequency of the first, second and third positions are 100 clicks/hour, 75 clicks/hour and 35 clicks/hour, respectively. Bidders’valuation per click are vA = 10, vB = 6, vC = 4, vD = 3. Bidder B, C and D bid 5, 3 and 1, respectively.

What is the optimal bid for A?

One kilogram of boiling water is vaporized to steam at 100 kPa in a frictionless piston-and-cylinder device. Using the Steam Tables, answer the following:

1. Is the heat needed to vaporize the water to steam equal to the change in enthalpy? Or TDS?
2. To calculate the work done by the steam, is the first law of thermodynamics equation or the general equation for work applicable?
3. Is the entropy generation equal to the change in entropy of the water?
4. Does the heat required for the vaporization of boiling water greater than the work done?

Support your answers with calculations and explanations.

1. You just got a job.  You ask for a loan from your parents to pay for day to day expenses.  Your parents agreed to lend you the money if you agree to pay them back within six months at an interest rate of 3%.  You can pay them $100 at the end of the first two months, $125 for months 3 and 4 and $150 for months 5 and 6.  Calculate the present value.

1. $695.03                b)  $671.81                  c) $765.35                   d)  $742.98   

The research is to be carried out to analyse the performance of evaporative cooler model with simple surfaces and honeycomb structured using R 290/R410 c with blend mixture. it is to be tested over the 25% load, 50% load, 75% load and 100% load conditions....
First propose a unique arrangement for the testing rig. and then formulate a mathematical model using fortran 77 performe simulation of the system and validate the results using available standard results......

coding is to be done in the Fortran 77 only. no other software will be entertained...
