A complete small business computer system costs $40,000. In addition, it paid a consultant $1000 last year for her advice on the type of computer system the company should buy. The new computer falls under the 5-year MACRS. This new system is expected to generate additional revenue of $15,000 per year for the next 3 years and also reduce expenses by $10,000 per year. At the end of 3 years, the system will be sold for $17,500. Tax rate is 34%. Round all values to the nearest dollar. Calculate initial investment, operating cash flows and terminal cash flow.

can you please show me terminal cash flow

here's what I have and clarify I'm right for first parts, thanks!

Uber began to trade its stock publicly in early May of 2019. The initial stock price was a bit of a disappointment. Uber had hoped investors would value it at around $100 billion, but they instead valued it Iat closer to $80 billion dollars. One of the reasons that investors may have been wary of Uber could because of friction between the company and some of its drivers.

An interesting podcast on the issue:

https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYXJ0MTkuY29tL3RvZGF5LWV4cGxhaW5lZA%3D%3D&episode=Z2lkOi8vYXJ0MTktZXBpc29kZS1sb2NhdG9yL1YwLzNPTDZPc0luVHNpTzZ3cmNmVll6MFNrcTNRQjRxTVNBNjhFUHAtUThIZm8%3D

After listening to the podcast, think about:

  1. What are drivers' biggest complaints against Uber?
  2. Do you think Uber is likely to "give-in" to the demands of its drivers? Why or why not?
  3. Do you think Uber operates in a competitive market? Why or why not?

Define sexual harassment and discuss applicable law (such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964). How does the state law in your state address sexual harassment? Discuss a recent sexual harassment claim in the news and whether media coverage is beneficial or detrimental to reporting and reducing sexual harassment claims in the workplace. Should sexual harassment claims be addressed publicly or handled privately? Explain the ethical and legal considerations of a business protecting its employees (the accuser, the accused, and other employees in the company) while a workplace sexual harassment investigation is underway. Does your answer change if the allegation is a widely known scandal-making front page news? Compare the sexual harassment liability of a business entity that is a sole proprietorship with an entity that is a corporation. Recommend risk management procedures a business can implement to avoid or reduce sexual harassment claims from occurring in the workplace

In Vitro Fertilization
Reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may allow couples who
previously could not conceive to have children. However, the use of these technologies is
not publicly funded. This means couples have to cover their own costs and may prevent
some couples from having children.
You are tasked by the Government of Alberta to determine if IVF should be publicly funded.
Evaluate the use of IVF as a reproductive technology.

38. How does IVF work?

39. What is its success rate?

40. Describe three conditions affecting the male or female reproductive systems that IVF
can be used to assist with.

41. The use of any technology comes with social, environmental, ethical, and economic
considerations. Choose a viewpoint (social, environmental, ethical, or economic) and
explain the intended and/or unintended results of funding IVF from this viewpoint.


Summarize your findings using 100 words or less.40. Describe three conditions affecting the male or female reproductive systems that IVF
can be used to assist with.

How strategically necessary were the acquisitions Philips Medical Systems made between 1998 and 2001?

Philips Medical Systems in 2005 (HBS 9-706-488)

  1. How strategically necessary were the acquisitions Philips Medical Systems made between 1998 and 2001? Should they have made the commitment to medical systems that they did?

2. Compare Philips Medical Systems with GE Healthcare and Siemens Medical Solutions in terms of the amount of leverage it has managed to create for itself vis-à-vis each of the AAA strategies.

3. How might Philips Medical Systems significantly improve its position? In particular, should it focus on creating a competitive advantage for itself around a subset of the AAA strategies and if so, which one(s)? Should they apply the “one, two, or out” rule if unable improve their position significantly?

1. Do you prefer taking test on paper or online? An college instructor believes the tests scores will be the same, on average. This instructor gave identical tests to two randomly sampled groups of 35 students. One group took the test on paper and the other took it online. The results are below. Test whether the test scores are the same at significance level 0.10. Your complete solution should include a comparative boxplot displaying a box for each group, over the same scale.

7. Coke Cola Inc. approach your professor that they have invented a smart energy drink that they believe it can make the students calm and clear about doing statistics. The professor took this drink to the two sections of BUQU1230. One section took the sugar drinks (fake drinks) and the other section took the real drinks.

Assume that the 129 patients in the Patients dataset represent the entire population of interest. If you were interested in age of the patients and took a sample of 25 patients from this population, what is the standard error of the mean?   What if you took a sample 64 patients from this population, what is the standard error of the mean? What happens to the standard error of the mean as the sample size increases?  If you select a sample of 64 patients, what is the probability that the sample mean is below 75?
