Delta Company, a U.S. MNC, is contemplating making a foreign capital expenditure in South Africa. The initial cost of the project is ZAR10,000. The annual cash flows over the five-year economic life of the project in ZAR are estimated to be 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, and 7,000. The parent firm’s cost of capital in dollars is 9.5 percent. Long-run inflation is forecasted to be 3 percent per annum in the United States and 7 percent in South Africa. The current spot foreign exchange rate is ZAR/USD = 3.75. Determine the NPV for the project in USD by:
a.Calculating the NPV in ZAR using the ZAR equivalent cost of capital according to the Fisher effect and then converting to USD at the current spot rate.
b.Converting all cash flows from ZAR to USD at purchasing power parity forecasted exchange rates and then calculating the NPV at the dollar cost of capital.
c.Are the two dollar NPVs different or the same? Explain.
d.What is the NPV in dollars if the actual pattern of ZAR/USD exchange rates is: S(0) = 3.75, S(1) = 5.7, S(2) = 6.7, S(3) = 7.2, S(4) = 7.7, and S(5) = 8.2?

1. An army recruit is on a training exercise and instructed to
walk due west for 8 km,
then in a north-easterly direction for 4 mi, and finally due north
for 15,840 ft. How far
will he be from where he started?
2. A tittle turtle is placed at the origin of an xy grid drawn on a
large sheet of paper.
Each grid box is 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm. The turtle walks around for a
while and finally
ends up at point (24, 10), that is, 24 boxes along the x-axis, and
10 boxes along the
y-axis. Determine the displacement of the turtle from the origin at
the point.
3. A bug starts at point A, crawls 8.0 cm east, then 5.0 cm south,
3.0 cm west, and 4.0
cm north to point B. (a) How far north and east is B from A? (b)
Find the
displacement from A to B both graphically and algebraically.
4. A woman jogs 4.2 km east and then 2.9 km south at a speed of 8.0
km/h. How much
time would she have saved if she had jogged directly to her
destination?

[20 marks] (TestRobot.java) Design a class named Robot. The Robot class has three private data fields: position x, position y, and the direction (east, south, west, and north). Assume that positive x points to the east and positive y points to the south, and initially x = 0, y = 0, direction = "east".
Create a no-arg constructor and another constructor which sets the three data fields. Create the accessors and mutators for the three data fields.
Create a method named forward that moves the robot along the current direction for the given distance. For example, if the robot is currently facing east, forward(10) will move the robot along the positive x direction for 10 pixels.
In the main method, create a Robot object, move it to the east for 20 pixels, then set the direction to north and move 30 pixels, and finally set the direction to west and move 40 pixels. Find and display the final x and y values and the direction of robot by calling its methods. For example, for the sample testing above, your program should display x = -20, y = -30, and direction = west.

1. A commercial airliner is flying at 450 mph, 20° east of north, relative to the surrounding air. The surrounding air though is blowing at 90 mph, 40° south of east, relative to the ground. The relative humidity of the air is 70%. How fast is the airliner flying relative to the ground, and in what direction?
2. Kenny and Cartman are playing paintball blindfolded. They are initially standing back-to-back, facing away from each other. Treat it as if they are standing on exactly the same spot. Kenny then runs 8 meters due west. Meanwhile, Cartman runs 2 meters due east, turns left, and runs 6 meters 30° east of north. They then turn around and start shooting paintballs. Of course, they are both blindfolded, so they aren’t coming anywhere close to hitting each other. How far apart are they when they start shooting?
3. Cartman decides to cheat, and peaks through his blindfold to see where Kenny is. He then turns and aims at Kenny. What direction does he need to aim in to hit Kenny? (relative to the cardinal axes, i.e. something like 40° south of west)
