A company is considering the purchase of an industrial laser for $150,000. The device has a useful life of five years and a salvage (market) value of $30,000 at the end of those five years. The before-tax cash flow is estimated to be $45,000 per year. The laser would be depreciated using MACRS with a recovery period of three years. If the effective income tax is 25% and the after-tax MARR is 15%, use the PW method on an after-tax basis to determine the profitability of the laser and make a recommendation.

Suppose that the demand curve for barley can be characterized by the equation P = 100 - 2Qd. Suppose further that price was $10.00 and a $10.00 tax is imposed on the market. a) How many barleys would be purchased at a price of $10.00? After tax? b) What is the amount of tax revenue generated by the tax? c) How much excess burden is generated by the tax? d) What is the amount of consumer surplus before and after the tax? What is the difference in consumer surplus? Is it equal to excess burden plus the tax revenue?

A rocket takes off vertically from the launchpad with no initial velocity but a constant upward acceleration of 2.25 m/s2 . At 15.4s after blastoff, the engines fail completely so the only force on the rocket from then on is the pull of gravity (free fall). a) What is the maximum height the rocket will reach above the launchpad? b) How fast is the rocket moving at the instant before it crashes onto the launchpad? c) How much longer after the engines fail does it take for the rocket to crash on the launchpad?

A 11.7kg weather rocket generates a thrust of 200N . The rocket, pointing upward, is clamped to the top of a vertical spring. The bottom of the spring, whose spring constant is 550N/m , is anchored to the ground.

A) Initially, before the engine is ignited, the rocket sits at rest on top of the spring. How much is the spring compressed?

B)After the engine is ignited, what is the rocket's speed when the spring has stretched 32.0cm ?

C)For comparison, what would be the rocket's speed after traveling this distance if it weren't attached to the spring?

The data shows process completion times in hours of a manufacturing plant prior to and after a scheduled routine maintenance operation:

A.) Evaluate the assumption of normality of the datasets

B.) State and test the hypothesis of equal variance in the test populations

C.) State and test the hypothesis that the maintenance operation has any effect on the processing time

When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods.

The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Freedonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce lemons and sugar, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of lemons and 12 million pounds of sugar, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

Lamponia08162432404856646456484032241680SUGAR (Millions of pounds)LEMONS (Millions of pounds)PPFA

Freedonia has a comparative advantage in the production of   , while Lamponia has a comparative advantage in the production of   . Suppose that Freedonia and Lamponia specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total ofmillion pounds of sugar and

million pounds of lemons.

Suppose that Freedonia and Lamponia agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 16 million pounds of lemons for 16 million pounds of sugar. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Freedonia and Lamponia.

The following graph shows the same PPF for Freedonia as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Freedonia's consumption after trade.

Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.

The following graph shows the same PPF for Lamponia as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A.

As you did for Freedonia, place a black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate Lamponia's consumption after trade.

True or False: Without engaging in international trade, Freedonia and Lamponia would have been able to consume at the after-trade consumption bundles. (Hint: Base this question on the answers you previously entered on this page.)

Exercise 5.5

PART A

Copy or cut and paste program P5_2.cpp (located below) to a new program called ex55.cpp. Make PI a constant value. Compile and run the program for the following values:

r = 2 cm, h = 10 cm

The correct answer should be:
      The cross-section area of the cylinder is 3.89556 inch-sq
      The side area of the cylinder is 19.4778 inch-sqr

Did you get the correct answer? You didn't! Explain the reason for this logic error in your report. Now add the instruction that fixes the problem (yes, you need just one instruction) and save your file in ex55.cpp file.   HINT: r=r*0.3937; //converting r to inch

PART B

Modify the ex55.cpp to include a new function called total_area that computes the total surface area of a cylinder. The total surface area is the sum of the side area and cross-section area. Call your new program ex56.cpp.

For r=2 and h=10, the total area must be:  23.373383 inch-sqr.

Program P5_2.cpp:

// P 5_2.cpp This program illustrates the local and global variables and call-by-value.
// This program computes the side area and the cross section area of a cylinder
#include
#include
using namespace std;

//Let’s declare first any global constant, if any required

// This variable is defined globally, i.e. it is known to all functions in this program as PI

// To declare a global constant you must write it outside the main() function

const double PI = 3.14159;  

//Now we declare any programmer defined function

double cross_area(double r);                          // Function prototype for function cross_area
double side_area(double r, double h);            // Function prototype for function Side_area

// Start defining the main function

int main(void)
{
     double h, r; //variables local to the main function

      cout << "Enter the radius and the height of the cylinder in Cm ";
      cin >> r >> h;
      cout << endl;
      cout << "Before I do any computation or call any function, I want to let you know that \n";
      cout << "you have entered r = " << r << " and h = " << h << "." << endl;
      cout << "I am planning to use inch, thus in the first function, I will convert r, and " << endl;
      cout << "in the second one I will convert h \n";

      cout << "The cross section area of the cylinder is " << cross_area(r) << " inch-sqr" << endl;
      cout << "The side area of the cylinder is " << side_area(r,h) << " inch-sqr \n\n";

      return 0;
}

// Definition of all programmer defined functions

double cross_area(double r)
{
     //Cross section area includes the disks at the bottom and the top
      r = r * 0.3937; // converting r to inch
      return 2*PI*pow(r,2);
}

double side_area(double r, double h)
{
      double area; //variable local to side_area function
      h = h * 0.3937; // converting h to inch
      area = 2*PI*r*h;
      return area;
}

Forecasting and Estimating Share Value Using the DCF Model
Following are the income statement and balance sheet for Intel Corporation.

*This should be considered as operating income.

** These investments are operating assets as they relate to associated companies.

(a) Compute Intel's net operating assets (NOA) for year-end 2010.
2010 NOA = ?

(b) Compute net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for 2010, assuming a federal and state statutory tax rate of 37%.

HINT: Gains/losses on equity method investments are considered operating income. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
2010 NOPAT = ?

(c) Forecast Intel's sales, NOPAT, and NOA for years 2011 through 2014 using the following assumptions:

Forecast the terminal period value using the assumptions above and assuming a terminal period growth of: 1%.

* Use sales rounded to nearest whole number for this calculation.

(d) Estimate the value of a share of Intel common stock using the discounted cash flow (DCF) model as of December 25, 2010; assume a discount rate (WACC) of 11%, common shares outstanding of 5,511 million, and net nonoperating obligations (NNO) of $(21,178) million (NNO is negative which means that Intel has net nonoperating investments).

• Use your rounded answers for subsequent calculations.

• Do not use negative signs with any of your answers below.
