The Templeton Manufacturing and Distribution Company of​ Tacoma, Washington, is contemplating the purchase of a new conveyor belt system for one of its regional distribution facilities. Both alternatives will accomplish the same task but the Eclipse Model is substantially more expensive than the Sabre Model and will not have to be replaced for 10​ years, whereas the cheaper model will need to be replaced in just 5 years. The costs of purchasing the two systems and the costs of operating them annually over their expected lives is provided​ below:

Year     Eclipse                        Sabre

0          $(1,350,000)                $(750,000)

1          $(26,000)                    $(51,000)

2          $(29,000)                    $(51,000)

3          $(29,000)                    $(57,000)

4          $(29,000)                    $(57,000)

5          $(43,000)                    $(78,000)

6          $(43,000)        

7          $(43,000)        

8          $(43,000)

b.  Calculate the equivalent annual costs for the two systems.

c.  Based on your analysis of the two systems using both their NPV and​ EAC, which system do you recommend the company​ pick? ​ Why?

a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha
(b) Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed and whether to use a z-test, a t-test, or a chi-square test. Explain your reasoning
(c)Choose one of the options Option 1: Find the critical value(s), identify the rejection region(s), and find the appropriate standardized test statistic. Option 2: Find the appropriate standardized test statistic and the P-value
(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
(e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

You have been given a project to evaluate. The upfront cost is $100,000. The project will then generate $40,000 in year one, $50,000 in year two, and then $60,000 for the last 3 years of the project. If your cost of capital is 11%, what is the NPV? IRR? Show Calculations.

On January 15^th 2019 A and B agreed on a 1 year swap with quarterly settlement and the swap rate at 7% p.a. on notional principal of $1m. A is the payer. The floating rate was set at BBSW which was 8% p.a. on January 15, 8.5% in April, 7% in July, 6.5% in October and 5% in January 2020. Calculate the swap cash settlements between the two parties

1. A sample of HR managers were selected to examine whether they expect job seekers of different races (Black vs. White) to negotiate salary offers. In the experiment, each participant was randomly assigned to view one of two versions of a fictitious job seeker’s resume. Resumes in the two conditions contained identical names, background, and job history information; the job seeker’s race was manipulated through the pictures shown at the top of the resume (Black male or White male). Each participant was asked to rate “Do you think this job seeker is to negotiate his salary offer?” (Responses were measured on a Yes-No format, 1 = Yes, 0 = No).

1. In the recent employee engagement survey, a sample of customer service employees were asked to report how often customers generally engaged in misbehaviors toward them in the past three months (measured on a 7-point Likert-type scale, 1 = never, 7 = always). The company wants to know whether different types of service employees (1 = full-time; 2 = part-time) received customer misbehaviors to the same extent.

1. A manufacturing company wants to explore whether there are regional differences in individual employee turnover intention. In a recent employee attitudinal survey, the company asked 120 employees at three different plants of the company (1 = Ohio, 2 = Michigan, 3 = Pennsylvania) about the extent to which they plan to leave the company in the next 6 months (measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale, 1 = very unlikely, 5 = very likely).

1. A university identified 50 faculty members who taught both online courses and traditional classroom courses in the Fall Semester 2018 and collected their Student Evaluation of Instruction (SEI) scores for the online courses and the traditional courses. The university wanted to use this dataset to evaluate whether instructors receive the same level of student evaluations when they teach online courses and traditional courses in classroom.

V. Rahr and Sons is a Fort Worth brewery founded by Fritz Rahr, a Neeley undergraduate and MBA. Currently the company makes Rahr Blonde Lager, Rahr’s Red, and Ugly Pug brews. They are considering a new beer, Frog Princess, with which to celebrate their ties to TCU. The project includes an initial outlay of $750,000 for the purchase of capital equipment that will be depreciated straight line to zero over six years.

Sales are expected to be $400,000 in years 1-3 and $600,000 in years 4-6. Production costs during years 1-6 are as follows: fixed costs (not including depreciation) are expected to be $150,000 per year; variable costs per year will be 40% of sales. The project will require an initial investment in NWC of 200,000 in year 0.

Beyond year six, the company expects that sales and unlevered net income in year seven will be 4% higher than that in year 6, and will continue growing at 4% per year infinitely. Additionally, in year 7 and beyond, new capital expenditures net of depreciation, and increases in NWC, combined, will be 6% of sales. Assume the marginal tax rate is 21%. The appropriate discount rate is 8%.

What is the NPV of the project? What is the IRR? Should the project be undertaken?

I've asked this question three times now and gotten three different answers so I want to see if this will confirm the right one. Thanks
