Lori, who is single, purchased 5-year class property for $200,000 and 7-year class property for $410,000 on May 20, 2017. Lori expects the taxable income derived from her business (without regard to the amount expensed under § 179) to be about $800,000. Lori wants to elect immediate § 179 expensing, but she doesn't know which asset she should expense under § 179. She does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. Click here to access Exhibit 8.1 and the depreciation table to use for this problem. If an amount is zero, enter "0". a. Determine Lori's total cost recovery deduction if the § 179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset. 5-year class property Immediate expense deduction under § 179 $ Regular MACRS 7-year class property Immediate expense deduction under § 179 $ Regular MACRS Total deduction $ Feedback b. Determine Lori's total cost recovery deduction if the § 179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset. 7-year class property Immediate expense deduction under § 179 $ Regular MACRS 5-year class property Immediate expense deduction under § 179 $ Regular MACRS Total deduction $ Feedback Correct c. If § 179 expense is first allocated to the seven-year class property, the deduction for the year would be $ larger. Feedback Correct For parts d. and e. Assume a 6% discount rate The present value factors for a 6% discount rate are as follows: Year 1: 1.000, Year 2: 0.9434; Year 3: 0.8900, Year 4: 0.8396, year 5: 0.7921, Year 6: 0.7473, Year 7: 0.7050, Year 8: 0.6651. Hint: Set up two analysis - on to find present value of tax saving with Section 179, and one without Section 179. Then compare them. If required, round computations to the nearest dollar.

d. Assume that Lori is in the 25% marginal tax bracket and that she uses § 179 on the 7-year asset. The present value of the tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets $. Feedback Incorrect

e. Assume that Lori is in the 25% marginal tax bracket and that Lori decides not to use § 179 on either asset. The present value of the tax savings generated by using the § 179 deduction on the 7-year asset $.

Write a function hitRate(A, B) to return the percentage of elements in array A that match the elements with the same index in array B. A and B are 1darrays or 2darrays of the same shape. Sample: if X = np.array([1, 3, 5, 8]); Y = np.array([2, 1, 3, 8]), then hitRate(X, Y) returns 0.25. in python program

A steel product is manufactured by starting with raw material (carbon steel wire) and then processing it sequentially through five operations using machines A to E, respectively (see table below). This is the only use that the five machines are put to. The hourly rates for each machine are given in the table. Answer the following questions. Use the original output rates to answer each question (i.e., disregard any changes mentioned in previous questions).

a. What is the maximum output per hour of the steel product?

b. By how much would the output be improved if B was increased to 50?

c. By how much would the output be improved if C was increased to 40?

d. By how much would the output be improved if C was increased to 50?

e. What is the effect on the system if machine A can only manage an output of 20 in one hour?

f. What is the effect on the system if machine C can only manage an output of 20 in one hour?

g. What is the effect on the system if machine B is allowed to drop to an output of 30 in one hour?

In C++

Define a base class called Person. The class should have two data members
to hold the first name and last name of a person, both of type string. The
Person class will have a default constructor to initialize both data members
to empty strings, a constructor to accept two string parameters and use them
to initialize the first and last name, and a copy constructor. Also include
appropriate accessor and mutator member functions. Overload the operators ==
and != such that two objects of class Person are considered equal if and only
if both first and last names are equal. Also overload operators >>, <<, and =.
Define a class called Doctor derived from the Person class. The class
should have a data member to hold the doctor's hourly rate (of type double), a
default constructor to initialize the rate to 0, and a constructor that takes
a double and a reference to an object of type Person and initializes the data
members to their appropriate values. Also include an accessor and mutator
member functions for the doctor's hourly rate. In Doctor class, redefine the
operator = such that it not only copies the first and last name, but also
copies the hourly rate.
Define another class called Patient derived from the Person class. This
class should have a data member to hold the patient's primary physician (of
class Doctor). Include a default constructor that would call the default
constructors of class Doctor and Person to initialize the object; also include
a constructor that accepts a reference to an object of class Doctor and Person
and initializes the Patient object's data members to their respective values.
Add accessor and mutator member functions to access or set the primary
physician.
Finally, define a class called Billing that would hold information about
medical bills. This class should have the following data members: an object of
type Doctor to hold the doctor to whom the money is paid, an object of type
Patient to hold the patient who pays the money, and a variable of type double
to hold the amount due. The Billing class will have a default constructor that
initializes amount due to 0.0 and calls the default constructors for Patient
and Doctor objects and a constructor that accepts references to Doctor and
Patient objects and the amount of hours (type int). The latter constructor
will calculate the amount due in the following fashion:

* if the doctor involved in the bill is the patient's primary physician,
then the amount due is hours multiplied by the doctor's hourly rate;

* if the doctor involved is not the patient's primary physician, then
the amount due is hours times doctor's hourly rate times 1.25.

Write a main function that would prompt the user to enter the patient's
name, their primary physician's name and rate, another doctor's name and rate,
and the amount of hours spent in the doctor's office. Then the program will
calculate and output the amount patient owes for doctor's services.

Note: two doctors are considered the same if and only if their names match
(i.e. you can assume no doctors with the same name and different rates exist).

Gateway Tours is choosing between two bus models. One is more expensive to purchase and maintain, but lasts much longer than the other. Its discount rate is 12%. It plans to continue with one of the two models for the foreseeable future. Based on the costs of each model shown below, which should it choose?

Market participants use CAPM to form their expectations and require a rate of return of 13% for stock XYZ. Given the required rate of return, today the market price of XYZ is $40. Assume the company is expected to pay a dividend of $3 per share next year (which is year 1; todays is year 0) and then a constant dividend in perpetuity after that (year 2, 3, etc…).

1. What is the divided constant dividend the market is expecting?

2. After one year, the risk free rate is 7%, and the market risk premium is 8%. What will the market price of the security be if its beta doubles (and the rest is unchanged)?

8.C An elevator motor lifts a 1000-kg elevator a height of 60 meters. How much power must the motor supply to do this in 40 sec at a constant speed?

In this lab you will get a chance to explore names w/ Vectors. You will need to create two vectors of strings, one for first names, and one for last names. You will then read in first and last names and place these into vectors.

See example below:

     while (true){
          getline(cin, name);
          if (name.empty()){
              break;
          }

          // Add to vector of First Names

             getline(cin, name);

          // Add to vector of Last Names

          // Print out First Name and Last Name ending with newline (endl)
     }

• You will not know how many names will be entered, and will need to use vector functions to add strings into your vector.
• After reading both the first name and last name, print the first name and last name separated by a space with a newline.

You will then sort the list of names using the selection sort we described in class. You will need to make some changes in order to sort on last name first, then first name.

Finally, you will print out the names sorted. Print a title above the sorted names:

 cout << " --Sorted Names-- " << endl;

Below's a Sample Session :

    ej smith
    arlene kova
     --Sorted Names-- 
    arlene kova
    david ruby
