A power shovel with a dipper of two cubic yard capacity has a standard operating cycle time of 80 seconds. The excavated material which has a swell factor of 05 will be disposed by a dump truck with an 8 cubic yard capacity at a dump site 6 miles away. The average speed of the dump truck is 30 mph and the dumping time is 40 seconds. Find the daily standard production rates of the power shovel and the dump truck if both are operated 8 hours per day. Determine also the number of trucks needed daily to dispose of the excavated material.

The patient came to your exercise sessions 80% of the time during the 8 week period. Since she only needed to comply by 70%, she was granted the lap band surgery. After 12 weeks, she has lost 50 pounds and has eliminated her insulin and cholesterol medications but is still on the hypertension meds. Her knees also are starting to feel better. You meet with this person post-surgery for an exercise assessment and the post surgery program. This time, she is very resistant to your exercise advice. In fact, she has no interest in participating in your exercise program anymore.

Using the Stages of Change Behavior Theory, what is this patient’s current stage now?

1 When using ASK, FSK or PSK techniques, how can we increase data rate?

2 Determine the number of “M” value and number of data bits that can be represented using FSK where the possible amplitude values are {0 Hz, 60 Hz}.

3 Determine the number of “M” value and number of data bits that can be represented using ASK where the possible amplitude values are {0v, +1v, +2v, +3v, +4v, +5v, +6v, +7v}.

a. M=2, N=1 bit per symbol

b. M=4, N=2 bit per symbol

c. M=6, N=3 bit per symbol

d. M=8, N=3 bit per symbol

4 Determine the number of “M” value and number of data bits that can be represented using PSK where the possible amplitude values are {0, π/8, π/4, π/2}.

5 Select the true statement regarding the relationship between data rate (bit rate) and baud rate.

6 Electrical, electromagnetic, and optical symbols are used to represent logical (0s and 1s) data. As such, symbol rate is always equal to data rate, and the two terms can be used interchangeably. True / False

7 Unlike analog communications, digital communications do not involve the use of sinusoidal carriers during the digital modulation process. True/False

XYZ Company has 40% debt 60% equity as optimal capital structure. The nominal interest rate for the company is 12% up to $5 million debt, above which interest rate rises to 14%. Expected net income for the year is $17,5 million, dividend payout ratio is 45%, last dividend distributed was $4,5/share, P0 = $37, g=5%, flotation costs 10% and corporate tax rate is 40%.

a. Find the break points

b. Calculate component costs (cost of each financing source)

c. Calculate WACCs.

d. Two projects are available:

1st. Project requires 15 million initial investments, IRR=18%

2nd. Project requires 10 million initial investments, IRR=12%

Please find the optimal capital budget. (Project(s) to be invested in)   

Olsen Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 60% common equity and 40% debt, and its tax rate is 40%. Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $3 million of retained earnings with a cost of r_s = 12%. New common stock in an amount up to $9 million would have a cost of r_e = 15.0%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $4 million of debt at an interest rate of r_d = 11% and an additional $5 million of debt at r_d = 15%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $8.2 million. What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $3 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 12%. New common stock in an amount up to $10 million would have a cost of re = 16%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $3 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 10% and an additional $3 million of debt at rd = 12%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $7.2 million. What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion? Round your answer to two decimal places.

ELN Waste Management has a subsidiary that disposes of hazardous waste and a subsidiary that collects and disposes of residential garbage. Information related to the two subsidiaries follows:

A. Calculate the ROI for both subsidiaries

B. Calculate the EVA for both subsidiaries. Note that since no adjustments for accounting distortions are being made, EVA is equivalent to residual income.

C. Which subsidiary has added the most to shareholder value in the last year?

D. Based on the limited information, which subsidiary is the best candidate for expansion? Explain.

A professor has constructed a 3-by-4 two-dimensional array of float numbers. This array currently contains the lab grades, quiz grades and exam grades of three students in the professor’s class. Write a C++ program that calculate the final grade for each student and save it to the last column. You program should display the following output:             Lab    Quiz      Exam       Final    

Student 1          ## ## ## ##

Student 2          ## ## ## ##

Student 3          ## ## ## ##

The final grade consists of 30% lab grade, 30% quiz grade and 40% exam. For example, if lab grade is 95, quiz grade is 82 and exam grade is 87, the final grade is equal to 95∗0.3+82∗0.3+87∗0.4. Use random numbers between 40 and 100 for lab, quiz and exam grades.
