  1. Given a strip commercial development near Columbia, SC, with the following characteristics: overland flow length = 180 ft on 2.1% grade over asphalt cover (n=0.011); shallow concentrated flow length of 1000 ft on 1.8% grade (paved gutter); drainage area = 5 acres; runoff coefficient = 0.60

  1. Sheet flow travel time (minutes) =                           
  2. Shallow concentrated flow travel time (minutes) =                              
  3. Watershed time of concentration (minutes) =                         
  4. 10-year design rainfall intensity (inches/hour) =                                 
  5. Runoff peak (cfs) for 10-year design rainfall =                                   

  1. Given a 28-acre watershed with the following land use mix: 8 acres of SFR (38% impervious) on HSG-B soils, 5 acres of SFR (30% impervious) on HSG-C soils, and 15 acres of open space (park and playground) in fair condition on HSG-C soils. Watershed time of concentration is 21 minutes. The design return period 24-hour rainfall depth is 5.25 inches.

  1. The runoff-weighted average curve number (CN) =                             
  2. The area-weighted unit hydrograph peak rate factor (PRF) =                                                                 

c)    The runoff volume from a rainfall of 3.25 inches (watershed inches) =                             

d)   The runoff volume from a rainfall of 0.47 inches (watershed inches) =

Build a program that calculates the parking fare for the customer who parks their cars in a public parking lot given the following: i. A character showing the type of vehicle: C for car, B for bus, T for truck ii. An integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle entered the lot iii. An integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle entered the lot iv. An integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle left the lot v. An integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle left the lot For encouraging people to park for a short period of time, the management uses two different rates for each type of vehicle as shown below: Vehicle First Rate Second Rate CAR RM 1.00/hr first 3 hr RM 2.00 after first 3 hr TRUCK RM 1.50/hr first 3 hr RM 2.50 after first 3 hr BUS RM 2.00/hr first 3 hr RM 3.00 after first 3 hr No vehicle is allowed to stay in the parking lot later than midnight. If the customer is detected stay parking lot overnight, the customer is required to pay the penalty fee RM 150.00 per day plus the parking fare.

Directions

Students will conduct an analysis on the current state of the compensation system and address pay-for-performance and benefits. Reference should be made to individual and group incentives, performance appraisals, legally mandated benefits, options benefits, and benefit determination process. (Note – do not simply copy paste the benefits offered).

The body of the paper will be 4-5 pages. This does not include extraneous pages like title page, reference page, appendices. APA formatting standards are required. A minimum of 5 scholarly resources need to be used. An example of a scholarly resource can be an interview with an HR professional or a peer reviewed article from a Park University Library Journal Database. Course materials and personal experience do not count. A formal third person tone is required.

Supplemental information (e.g. worksheets that are currently being used) can be presented in Appendices but do not count toward the body of the paper.

Note: Recommendations should not be made at this point – you will make these in Unit 8. This is an analysis of current standing. Keep in mind however, if an organization doesn’t have a pay-for-performance plan or optional benefit offerings, the paper doesn’t end at that point. Student needs to include a discussion of the offerings that could be used. Again, recommendations will be made in Unit 8.

13-Financial leverage effects

The Neal Company wants to estimate next year's return on equity (ROE) under different financial leverage ratios. Neal's total capital is $16 million, it currently uses only common equity, it has no future plans to use preferred stock in its capital structure, and its federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%. The CFO has estimated next year's EBIT for three possible states of the world: $4.8 million with a 0.2 probability, $3.1 million with a 0.5 probability, and $300,000 with a 0.3 probability. Calculate Neal's expected ROE, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for each of the following debt-to-capital ratios. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Question 1: In class, you have seen how to calculate the maximum speed for a car to go around a flat curve (with friction), and for a banked curve (without friction). Here, you will consider the general case. (For each question part below, include a free-body diagram.) a) (3 points) Explain briefly why the car can go around the banked curve safely even without friction, and why that is not the case for the flat curve. b) (5 points) Now consider a curve that is banked so that a car can safely take it at a speed of 85 km/h, even if there were no friction. Assuming the radius of the curve is 68 m, calculate the angle at which it has been built. c) (6 points) For the banked curve, calculate the maximum speed that a car can have to safely go through it if the coefficient of static friction is 0.3. What will happen if the car is faster? d) (6 points) For the same curve, calculate the minimum speed the car must have to safely make it through. What will happen if the car is slower?

A global equity manager is assigned to select stocks from a universe of large stocks throughout the world. The manager will be evaluated by comparing her returns to the return on the MSCI World Market Portfolio, but she is free to hold stocks from various countries in whatever proportions she finds desirable. Results for a given month are contained in the following table:

Country Weight In
MSCI Index
Manager’s
Weight
Manager’s Return
in Country
Return of Stock Index
for That Country
U.K. 0.21 0.42 21 % 12 %
Japan 0.34 0.2 14 14
U.S. 0.39 0.3 10 12
Germany 0.06 0.08 5 12

a. Calculate the total value added of all the manager’s decisions this period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

b. Calculate the value added (or subtracted) by her country allocation decisions. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Which refrigerator would you choose and why?

  1. Car decision. Assume you need a car and you are evaluating lease vs. buy options. The buying option is with auto loan at interest rate of 3%. The dealer offers you the following.

Lease option: $2,000 security deposit, $500 monthly payment for 48 months. Expected end of lease charges are $600.

Purchase option: $4,000 down payment, $600 monthly payment for 48 months. At the end the car is estimated to have resale value of $8,000.

Do the proper analyses and decide which option is better.
