1. (15 points) Suppose John, the owner-manager of a local hotel projects the following demand for his rooms:

                        Price ($)          Qty. Demanded

                        90                    100

                        110                  90

                        130                  70

1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand between $90 and $110 using the midpoint formula
2. Is the price elasticity of demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at this price range (re: a)? Interpret the actual number you calculated.
3. Is it a good idea for John to raise his price from $90 to $110? Explain in 2 sentences.
4. Calculate John’s total revenue when price is $110 vs. when price is $130.
5. Based on your answers in (d), is demand elastic, unit elastic or inelastic at that price range (re: d)?

2. Consider the two products – laundry soap and Tide washer soap. Which product will have the more inelastic demand? Explain in 2-3 sentences. (5 points)

3. TRUE or FALSE. Suppose the market for crude oil experiences a decrease in demand. Assuming a relatively inelastic supply for crude oil, this market shock leads to a relatively smaller decrease in equilibrium price. Include a graph to illustrate and explain in 2-3 sentences (5 points).

Step 1- Choose one of the following scenarios:

Stage collapse at an outdoor concert (No deaths, 50 in hospital with minor injuries

An awards event happened at a local hotel and 5 people are in hospital with food poisoning

Theft by an employee at a non-profit

4. Drunk driving charge by a politician

5. COVID-19 outbreak at a hospital (we will downplay this from the current situation)

Step 2 – Complete each of the following items based on the scenario that you have chosen

You are the public relations director for one of the above scenarios and you know that within days negative headlines and TV news stories will appear throughout the local news.

a. What do you do first?

b. What public are you most concerned with?

c. How will you respond to the media?

d. Why is it important that you respond?

1. Pretend you are holding a press conference to provide information to the media and public in room 246 at TCC on April 13th at 10 am.

1. Write a media advisory to encourage the media to cover your press conference

2. Anticipate questions that you would receive from the media at the press conference

1. Write down potential questions from the media and prepare the answers applying the readings you reviewed in this module to your responses.

3. Develop 2-3 key message points and a sound bit to provide to the reporter

4. Write a press release that would be sent out to your media contacts after the press conference.

Suppose we wish to build a multiple regression model to predict the cost of rent (dollars) in a city based on population (thousands of people), and income (thousands of dollars). Use the alpha level of 0.05.

5. What are the values of the estimated slope for the variable “Population”? Interpret the value in terms of actual names of IVs and the DV.

6. Does Income significantly influence the Rent at the alpha level of 0.01? Make sure to show which values you use to make the decision.

7. Does Population significantly influence the Rent at the alpha level of 0.01? Make sure to show which values you use to make the decision.

b.)Mass of the weight
c.)Length of pendulum
d.)Gravitational acceleration
7.)What are two examples where a pendulum is used for timing? (Choose two)
a.)Grandfather Clock
b.)Metronome
c.)An amusement park swing
d.)A stopwatch
8.)What are the sources of error for both experiments?
9.)A pendulum on Earth has a period of 1 second. What will be its period on the moon whose gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth?
10.)Given two mass spring systems such that the spring constant of the first is twice the second and the mass of the second is thrice that of the first, calculate the ratio of the period of the first to that of the second.

I try to add the table content work, they will not allow me.. see below in another post pls

One question pls i need help with this, kindly show your work as well so that i can learn. I WILL RATE IT AND LEAVE A COMMENT. THANKS

Tidal Wave is considering purchasing a water park in San Diego comma California​, for $ 1 950 000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $ 500 000 for eight years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for eight years and have no residual value. The company uses​ straight-line depreciation. Its owners want payback in less than five years and an ARR of 10​% or more. Management uses a 14​% hurdle rate on investments of this nature.

Requirement 1. Compute the payback​ period, the​ ARR, the​ NPV, and the approximate IRR of this investment.​ (If you use the tables to compute the​ IRR, answer with the closest interest rate shown in the​ tables.) ​(Round the payback period to one decimal​ place.)

​(Round the percentage to the nearest tenth​ percent.)

​(Round your answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

The IRR​ (internal rate of​ return) is between

▼

16% and 18%

20% and 22%

22% and 24%

18% and 20%

.

Requirement 2. Recommend whether the company should invest in this project.

​Recommendation:

▼

Do not invest in the new facility.

Invest in the new facility.

Reno, Inc., is considering a project to establish a plant for producing and selling consumer goods
in an under developed country. Assume that the host country’s economy is very dependent on
oil prices, the local currency of the country is very volatile, governance standards are quite
Page | 4
compromised with a high pedigree of unfair practices and the sovereign or country risk is
considered to be high. It is known that the host country’s economic conditions are un-related to
U.S. economy and the global economy other than material changes that relate and/or emanate
in external environment due to oil price changes.
Required:
a) Should the required rate of return (and therefore the risk premium) on the project be
higher or lower than that of other alternative projects in the i) United States; ii) any
other G-7 country; iii) Pakistan? Explain with cogent reasons.
b) Assume that the required rate of return is 20% in the first year of operations and
increases by 2% every year for 5-years. Based on financial projections and estimated
cash flows, return on equity (ROE) is expected to be in the ball park of 18% in Year-1,
whereas moving forward in Year-2 through Year-5 it is expected to remain in range of
30% per annum. Based on these numbers, would you recommend that Reno should
move ahead with this new investment? Why or why not? Explain with cogent reasons.

There are 3 short answer questions in this paper. Type your answers where indicated. Your answers can be in bullet point form.

A local resort in the Blue Mountains is for sale.

1. What are the potential valuation effects of COVID-19 and of the bad bushfire season the year before? Identify how these events would be taken into consideration in a valuation model. Be sure to identify positive or negative valuation effects and whether these effects are short term or long term.

Type answer here

The government has identified an area of the national park near the resort that they are going to release for sale for development to raise money. The sale of the land is being done by sealed bid auction with the government committee deciding which offer to accept based on several criteria including the amount offered as well as the plans for development. You find out that someone on the committee is trying to solicit a kickback of 15% to award the contract.

2. You tell your boss and she tells you that this is how the industry works. What should you do? Can you identify any examples of this type of corruption has occurred in Australia or by Australian companies?

Type answer here

The resort monitors all the sales and COGS in each of the departments and they noticed that COGS have been increasing in the restaurant without any change in the revenues.

What are some of the possible explanations for the increasing COGS? How would you investigate fraud-related potential explanations?

Project 2: Capital Budgeting Activity
Scenario:
Your client owns a successful restaurant in downtown Chicago (at least pre-Covid-19!). She wants to open a second restaurant in the suburbs and has asked you to help her choose between two locations. Key information is listed below. Using the four capital budgeting methods that we know, prepare a presentation that shows your recommendation to your client (and why).

Initial Investment: 2,500,000 and use 9% discount rate

Annual non-cash (all depreciation) expenses:
Use straight line depreciation to find!
For both, assume no residual value and: 9% discount rate

REQUIREMENTS:
Prepare a PowerPoint that you would give/show to your client that clearly identifies your recommendation as to which location she should select to open her second restaurant. Additional MUST HAVES, include clearly identified calculations of the four capital budgeting methodologies (showing your work, not the work of Google or Excel programmers!) we have used in this module, and sufficient information on what these metrics mean, particularly as it relates to your preference decision.
