2. Nuqman established TT Flash Sdn Bhd, to manufacture Automatic Hand-Cleaner Dispenser Station to help curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country. The company received 5 orders with different design specification (Design F, G, H, I & J) that must be completed not more than 29 days. With the TT Flash Sdn Bhd manufacturing capability, the company estimated 40 days to deliver all the stations. To overcome this issue, Nuqman have call others company to build the Automatic Hand-Cleaner Dispenser Station and ask each company their estimation time to manufacture each design. The estimated time information of each design shown in Table 5.

1. Suggest to the company with justification the best alternative available for this order.

Table 5: Hand-Cleaner Dispenser Station Manufacturing Time Information

2. Ranjit, the industrial engineer in the company have recommend to Nuqman for implementing concurrent process for this orders with establishing two workstation to manufacture the Automatic Hand-Cleaner Dispenser Station, namely fabrication and assembly as shown in Table 6.

Evaluate the above proposal by Ranjit whether the company able to meet the order demand not more than 29 days.

After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only two women among the last 22 new employees. She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women. Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting two or fewer women when 22 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender. (Report answer accurate to 8 decimal places). P(at most two) = .00021 Incorrect Because this is a serious claim, we will use a stricter cutoff value for unusual events. We will use 0.5% as the cutoff value (1 in 200 chance of happening by chance). With this in mind, does the resulting probability really support such a charge?

Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 35% debt and 65% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 8%, and its tax rate is 40%. Pearson's CFO estimates that the company's WACC is 13.10%. What is Pearson's cost of common equity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Calculate the descriptive statistics BY HAND (showing your work) (variance , standard deviation, range, average, dispersion, median, mode)that we've covered in class for the two following variables:

Movie Survey

Ask five classmates from a different class how many movies they saw last month. Be sure to include rented movies or movies viewed on tv.

1. Record the data.
2. In class, randomly pick one person. On the class list, mark that person’s name. Move down four names on the class list. Mark that person’s name. Continue doing this until you have marked 12 names. You may need to go back to the start of the list. For each marked name record the five data values. You now have a total of 60 data values.
3. For each name marked, record the data.

Table 1.17

Order the Data

Complete the two relative frequency tables below using your class data.

Table 1.18 Frequency of Number of Movies Viewed

Table 1.19 Frequency of Number of Movies Viewed

1. Using the tables, find the percent of data that is at most two. Which table did you use and why?
2. Using the tables, find the percent of data that is at most three. Which table did you use and why?
3. Using the tables, find the percent of data that is more than two. Which table did you use and why?
4. Using the tables, find the percent of data that is more than three. Which table did you use and why?

Discussion Questions

1. Is one of the tables “more correct” than the other? Why or why not?
2. In general, how could you group the data differently? Are there any advantages to either way of grouping the data?
3. Why did you switch between tables, if you did, when answering the question above?

At your favorite bond store, you see the following prices: (a) One-year $100 zero selling for $95.2381 (b) Two-year 8% coupon $1000 par bond selling for $1000

(1) Assume that the pure expectations theory for the term structure of interest rates holds, no liquidity premium exists, and the bonds are equally risky. What is the imply one-year rate one years from now? (20 points; use exact formula for all questions)

(2) If there is a liquidity premium of 0.5% for the two-year long rate (i2t), what is the imply one-year rate one years from now? (10 points)

(3) If your company plans to issue two-year coupon bonds but the current one-year rate suddenly increase to 10% and the two-year long rate becomes 9%, what coupon rate that you need to set to sell the bonds at par? (30 points)

Two balls of clay collide in a perfectly inelastic, head-on collision. Suppose m1 = 0.5 kg, m2 = 0.25 kg, v1o = +4 m/s, and v2o = -3 m/s. (a) Find the velocity of the combined clay ball after the collision. (b) Find the kinetic energy lost during the collision.
