Newlands Brewery is evaluating a new product line for the production of two new cider brands for the young affluent target market. The brewery is currently operating at its optimal capacity and it will have to invest in an expansion for new machinery and production space. The expected cash flows for the two cider brands are:
Project Cider A, Cashflows are as follows , Year 0=(25 000), Year 1=12 900, Year 2=10 900, Year 3 =8 300 and year 4=7 240.

Project Cider B, Cashflows are as follows , Year 0=(13 500), Year 1=7 230, Year 2=8 200, Year 3 =8 600 and year 4=5 400

Also the expected net income figures for the new product line are as follows

Project Cider A net incomes Year 1=6 728, Year 2=4 800, Year 3 =2 009 and Year 4= 7 420

Project Cider B net incomes Year 1=3 855, Year 2=4 725, Year 3=5 255 and Year 4 =1 864

Consider the following information:
• The average book value for Cider A project is R12,500,000
• The average book value for Cider B project is R6,800,000
• Management requires 15 percent for the project to go ahead based on accounting rate of return perspective
• The discount rate for a project of similar risk level is 10 percent
• Management requires a minimum payback of 1.75 years for the type of risk associated with this project

Required:
Taking into consideration that the two projects are independent and no scaling issues, what should Newlands Brewery do? Your answer should be supported by the analysis of the following calculations:
• Payback method
• Discounted payback method
• Accounting rate of return (using averages)
• Net present value
• Internal rate of return
• Profitability index
Now consider the presence of scaling issue, which project should Newland Brewery consider?

Blue Sunday Bank has a portfolio of loans and securities, as well as deposits and money market borrowings, which are expected to produce the following cash inflows and outflows for the bank in the coming 5 years. Explain the danger of the bank’s position. What kind of hedging should the bank use to reduce its risk and what's the expected effect?

MARS: Use MASKING to convert ASCII characters to Integer

Write and run a program that reads in a string of ASCII characters and converts them to Integer numbers stored in an array USING MASKING, not subtraction.

Write a program that:

1. Inputs a 1x8 vector of single-digit integers

2. Stores them into an 8-entry 32-bit Integer array, “V”.

After storing the integers in the array:

1. Read the same values using Read Integer and store them in a 32-bit integer array, “VPrime”.

2. Subtract the two arrays integer by integer and put the results into a third 32-bit integer array, “VCheck”.

3. Sum all the values in VCheck and using Write Integer, display the result.

When you run the program, the input should look something like this with a space between numbers:

Input V: 1 4 0 2 7 3 8 4

Input VPrime:

1

4

0

2

7

3

8

4

Check Result: 0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The code should be similar to this: https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/need-assembly-language-mips-write-program-inputs-1x8-vector-single-digit-integers-stores-8-q40818237

But it should use MASKING to convert the ASCII characters to integers instead of subtraction.

The ASCII -> int conversion happens in the first loop in that code, on line "add $t3,$t3,-48"

Upon leaving a local steakhouse, vegan protesters outside, not realizing the irony, throw eggs at you for supporting the meat industry. This is an example of:

If a person commits fraud to induce you into signing a contract, you might also be able to get ___________ damages.

You and your friends decide to race motorcycles. A little kid runs out into the road and you hit him, falling off of your motorcycle and breaking your leg. The kid gets up and laughs at you. The kid’s mom sues you for negligence. Will she win her lawsuit?

When one party lacks capacity it makes the contract void.

True

False

You buy a bowling ball from the bowling Alley. As you’re taking it to the car it rips through the cardboard box it was packaged in and lands on your foot, breaking it. Can you successfully sue?

Question 3. Scheduling

ArtWork is a graphic design company. All jobs it receives must go through sketching (Process X) and then colouring (Process Y) in sequence. Each of the processes is operated by a dedicated designer.

1. The above 10 jobs have just arrived. Use Johnson’s rule to determine the optimal sequence to schedule the jobs. If there is more than one optimal sequence, show them all.

E

2. Draw a Gantt chart for your schedule. If there is more than one optimal sequence, show anyone of them.

3. Calculate the average flow time.

4. If you are allowed to split the last job in the sequence (pay attention, not necessarily the
   1. last job in the table) into two equal halves. For example, a job spends 6 hours in X and 4 hours in Y can be split into two jobs of 3 hours in X and 2 hours in Y. Without changing the sequence, do you think this arrangement is quicker? Why or why not?
5. The company has received four special jobs. These jobs have to go through sketching (Process X), colouring (Process Y) and then printing and coating (Process Z) in sequence. Each of the processes is operated by a dedicated designer. What is the optimal sequence to schedule the jobs? Show your steps. [hint: self-study is required]

All interest rates, discount rates, and IRR are annual both in questions and in answers. If interest is compounded monthly, divide interest rate by 12 to find the monthly rate; multiply monthly IRR by 12 to give an answer. Similarly, divide by 4 for quarterly, and by 2 for semi-annually compounding interest.

1. What is the future value of $400 saved at i= 40%, compounded annually, in 1 year?

2. What is the future value of $400 saved at i= 40%, compounded annually, in 2 years?

3. What is the future value of $400 saved at i= 40%, compounded semi-annually, in 2 years?

4. What is the future value of $400 saved at i= 40%, compounded quarterly, in 2 years?

Tilger Farm Supply Company manufactures and sells a fertilizer called Snare. The following data are available for preparing budgets for Snare for the first two quarters of 2020.

Your assistant has prepared two budgets: (1) The manufacturing overhead budget shows expected costs to be 150% of direct labour cost. (2) The direct materials budget for Tarr shows the cost of Tarr purchases to be $297,000 in quarter 1 and $441,000 in quarter 2.

Prepare the following operating budgets by quarters. (Note: Classify items as variable and fixed in the selling and administrative expenses budget.) Do not prepare the manufacturing overhead budget or the direct materials budget for Tarr.

1. Prepare the production budget by quarters.

2. Prepare the direct labour budget by quarters.

3.Prepare the direct materials budget by quarters.

4. Prepare the selling and administrative expense budget by quarters.

5. Prepare the budgeted income statement for the first six months. (Round per unit calculations to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
