You are thinking of making an investment in a new factory. The factory will generate revenues of $ 1 comma 760 comma 000$1,760,000 per year for as long as you maintain it. You expect that the maintenance costs will start at $ 93 comma 280$93,280 per year and will increase 4 %4% per year thereafter. Assume that all revenue and maintenance costs occur at the end of the year. You intend to run the factory as long as it continues to make a positive cash flow​ (as long as the cash generated by the plant exceeds the maintenance​ costs). The factory can be built and become operational immediately and the interest rate is 5 %5% per year. a. What is the present value of the​ revenues? b. What is the present value of the maintenance​ costs? c. If the plant costs $ 17 comma 600 comma 000$17,600,000 to​ build, should you invest in the​ factory?

you explored several theories of human development including a psychodynamic theory advanced by Freud which was later built upon by Erikson. Although the initial stages of Erikson's work parallels Freud's, Erikson's theory introduced three adult stages resulting in a more comprehensive lifespan view of psychosocial development.

In your initial post:

1. Apply Erikson's theory to your own development and identify which of Erikson's developmental stages you are in currently.
2. Based on your experiences or what you have witnessed in others, suggest a new stage of development to further Erikson's theory. Be sure to give your new stage a name, describe its characteristics (age span, behaviors, challenges, etc.), and ensure that it's clear where it would be inserted into Erikson's existing stages.
3. Describe whether or not you have achieved the goal of your newly created developmental stage.

1 point) Golf-course designers have become concerned that old courses are becoming obsolete since new technology has given golfers the ability to hit the ball so far. Designers, therefore, have proposed that new golf courses need to be built expecting that the average golfer can hit the ball more than 260260 yards on average. Suppose a random sample of 106106 golfers be chosen so that their mean driving distance is 259.1259.1 yards. The population standard deviation is 48.248.2. Use a 5% significance level.

Calculate the followings for a hypothesis test where H0:μ=260H0:μ=260 and H1:μ<260H1:μ<260 :

   The test statistic is    
The final conclustion is

A. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean driving distance is equal to 260
B. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean driving distance is equal to 260

We know the following expected returns for stocks A and B, given different states of the economy:

Note: If you can, it is much faster to solve these problems in a spreadsheet. However, the answer cannot be had simply by using the built-in AVERAGE() or STDEV() functions. If you are somewhat familiar with Excel, you might look into the SUMPRODUCT() function which is widely used to calculate weighted sums.

A: What is the expected return for stock A? 3+ Decimals

B: What is the expected return for stock B? 3+ Decimals

C:What is the standard deviation of returns for stock A? 3+ Decimals

D: What is the standard deviation of returns for stock B? 4+3+ Decimals

In the first decade of this century, the global economic environment has seen tremendous changes. On the local and international scales, the fact that ‘cultural environment’ is one of the most important factors affecting organizations raises the significance of the management of cultural differences. It is crucial for businesses to understand these differences and find ways to hurdle the barriers these differences present in a socially responsible manner.

TASK:

Select any organization of your choice operating in at least two countries. Carry out a research on the following aspects and present it in the form of a Report in Word.

1. For any two chosen countries in which it operates, assess the impact of economic and cultural forces on the management styles and business outcomes of the organization.
2. For any one country chosen above, examine how the ethical and socially responsible behavior is built in the management practices and business operations.

• Manpower requirements

• Road rail machines requirements

• Possession arrangements

• On track plant detailed plans

• Interface with other engineering functions

• Isolation of Traction Supply

• Bill of quantities for activity

• Manufacture, order and delivery of OLE components

• Pre-assembly / delivery of components

• Detailed construction activity

• Work activity Plan (Gantt Chart

) • Progress reporting arrangements

• Risk Assessmen

t • Disposal of waste materials

• Mechanical checks carried out prior to opening to service

• Electrical checks carried out prior to opening to service

• Collation of as built records

• Handover from constructor to maintainer

Control 8:

If a company’s control risk is initially assessed as low, the auditor needs to gather evidence on the operating effectiveness of the controls. For the following control activity listed, do the following two tasks:

a. Describe the test of control that the auditor would use to determine the operating effectiveness of the control.

b. Briefly describe how substantive tests of account balances should be modified if the auditor finds that the control is not working as planned. In doing so, indicate (a) what misstatement could occur because of the control deficiency, and (b) how the auditor’s substantive tests should be expanded to test for the potential misstatement.

Control Activity:

8. Edit tests built into the computerized payroll program prohibit the processing of weekly payroll hours in excess of fifty-three and prohibit the payment to an employee for more than three different job classifications during a one-week period.

Task A)

Task B)

6-Write a module in pseudocode called magicSix(), which accepts two integers and displays a message “Magic 6!” if either of the two integers is a 6 or if their sum or difference is a 6. Otherwise, the program will display “Not a magic 6.” Note, you will need to determine the larger number when calculating the difference, to get a positive difference. You cannot use any built-in Python functions to do this. Type your pseudocode into your answer document.

7- Write problem #6 as a working Python program. Include a main() module and the following calls to magicSix() to test your program. Take a screenshot of your code and output window and paste into your answer document.

magicSix(5, 5) Output: Not a magic 6.

magicSix(6, 5) Output: Magic 6!

magicSix(4, 2) Output: Magic 6!

magicSix(4, 10) Output: Magic 6!

Design, implement, and fully test a Python3 function that converts a number to words (words_from_number(number: int)). It should expect to be passed a natural number (such as 12345) and return the corresponding words (i.e., “twelve thousand three hundred forty-five”). Since Python integers can grow arbitrarily large, your code should be flexible, handling at least 20 digits (realistically, it’s just as easy up to 30 digits). Spell everything correctly, and use correct punctuation (hyphens for forty-five and thirty-seven, no commas or plurals). You may only use built-in Python functions, not any modules or third-party libraries!

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use/def: words_from_number(number:int). I've had a lot of chegg answers change it to something else when I didn't ask for that, thank you.

Part 1: Financial Acumen
