A General Hospital needs a new MRI machine due to increasing volume of outpatient MRI orders and the state of the existing machine.  The current machine is over 10 years old and breaks down on a regular basis, causing significant inconvenience to patients while at the same time, decreasing revenues and increasing costs.

The new MRI costs $1,100,000 and its useful life is 5 years with a $100,000 salvage value.  It is anticipated that it will generate $250,000 of revenue per year for each of the next 5 years.

Given the above information:

1. Calculate the depreciation expense per year using the straight line method.
2. Compute the present value of the yearly cash flows (all 5 years) using a 4% interest (or discount) rate.  Hint – use the present value annuity table in your text. Use only the revenue that is projected for each year (ignore depreciation). (NEED FORMULAS)
3. Subtract the original cost of the MRI machine from your answer in b.
4. Determine if the project will generate enough cash for the total 5 years to pay for the machine. Hint – just a yes or no.
5. Explain your answer to letter d in a few short sentences.
6. What other factors should be considered before finalizing your decision?

Consider the following FSM VHDL code:

library ieee;

use ieee.numeric_std.all;

entity fsm is

port (clock, input, reset: in std_logic;

output: out std_logic_vector (2 downto 0));

end;

architecture bhv of fsm is

type state is (s1, s2, s3, s4);

signal sreg: state;

begin

sreg_machine: process (clock)

begin

if (reset='1') then

sreg <= s1;

output <= "000";

elsif (rising_edge(clk)) then

case sreg is

when s1=>

output <= "000";

if (input='0') then

sreg <= s2;

else

sreg <= s1;

end if;

when s2=>

output <= "010";

if (input='1') then

sreg <= s4;

else

sreg <= s3;

end if;

when s3=>

output <= "100";

if (input='0') then

sreg <= s1;

else

sreg <= s4;

end if;

when s4=>

output <= "101";

if (input='0') then

sreg <= s4;

else

sreg <= s3;

end if;

end case;

end if;

end process;

end architecture;

a) Draw the state diagram for this FSM.

b) What kind of FSM is this? Mealy or Moore? Why?

c) Do you see issues with this FSM VHDL code for simulation or synthesis? List your answers (if any) and explain how you fix the coding issue.

Red, our Angry Bird friend, will be shot from a catapult again. This time, you’ve been given the equation that projects his trajectory based on his initial velocity (v0 ), his angle of launch (?), and the acceleration due to gravity (g). y = (xtan(theta)) - (gx^2) / (2v0^2 * cos^2(theta))

You’ve been informed that the wall he must knock down is 202.3 m away.

a. Take user input for Red’s initial velocity (for testing, start with 45 m/s).

b. For the input velocity, at what angle must your catapult be set to reach the wall at a height of 1 m (+/- 0.1m)? Use Earth’s gravity. Start at 0 degrees, and increase the angle until the required condition is met. Not all initial velocities will have a solution; in these cases, tell the user there is no solution for Red.

c. Plot his trajectory. Do not create a plot if there is no solution for the velocity the user input.

d. This was on Earth, what if we move to Mars?

e. Report to the user the angle you calculated and the height of impact for both Earth and Mars.

PYTHON

angle isnt given. trajectory equation that includes angle, initial velo, gravity is given. The minimum angle needed to hit the wall one meter above the ground must be found, i believe through iteration. I just dont know how.

Respond to the following discussion question for this module.

1. What does it mean for data to be right skewed? Left skewed? Symmetric? Explain each type of distribution and give an example of data that would be right skewed, left skewed, or symmetric.
2. What does it mean for data to be normal? Explain and give an example of a data set that would be normal.

Be sure to explain in such as way so that someone who knows nothing about statistics would be able to understand your reasoning.

Summarize the basics of a Laplace equation problem by using conformal mapping.

Explain the Math behind it and define the symbols used and why it is utilized for a problem.

Example: Complex potential of an upward parallel flow. If a sketch is used explain the sketch in detail. How can this problem be done using conformal mapping?

Thank you.

Some researchers claim that herbal supplements such as ginseng or ginkgo biloba enhance human memory. To test this claim, a researcher selects a sample of n = 36 college students. Each student is given a ginkgo biloba supplement daily for six weeks, and then all the participants are given a standardized memory task. For the population, scores on the test are normally distributed with µ = 70. The sample of n = 36 students had a mean score of M = 75 and a standard deviation of s = 10. Can we conclude that the herb has a significant effect on memory? Use a two-tailed test with α = 0.01.

Accommodative vs. Non-accommodative Monetary Policy: Suppose the economy is initially at potential output. A rapid increase in energy prices then pushes up the price level. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using accommodative and nonaccommodative monetary policy? In your answer, state the short- and long-run impacts of each policy on the price level and output. Use an aggregate demand graph for each policy option to support your answer.
