10. The cost of sending a package by an express delivery service is $16.00 for the first two pounds, and $6.00 for each extra pound or a fraction of a pound. If the package weighs more than 80 pounds, a $25.00 excess weight surcharge is added to the cost. No package over 180 pounds will be accepted. Write a program that accepts the weight of a package in pounds and computes the cost of mailing the package with proper messaging. It should handle the excessive package with a suitable excusing message. Write the program with if-else statements. Add to your report snapshots of the results for each range.

Write in C++

What is your view on the “returns” of a college degree? Remember that the cost is not only the tuition, but also the opportunity lost due to the hours you have to devote to it. Given that, is it worth it? What about a graduate degree?

Brewsters is considering a project with a life of 5 years and an initial cost of $120,000. The discount rate for the project is 12%. The firm expects to sell 2,100 units a year at a net cash flow per unit of $20. The firm will have the option to abandon this project after 3 years at which time it could sell the project for $50,000. The firm is interested in knowing how the project will perform if the sales forecasts for years 4 and 5 of the project are revised such that there is a 50% chance the sales will be either 1,400 or 2,500 units a year. What is the NPV of this project given these revised sales forecasts (consider the option to abandon in your analysis)?

1. Using Exhibit 7-6 as a guide, perform the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.
2. Using Exhibit 7-7 as a guide, compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools.
3. Using the activity rates you have computed, determine the total cost and the average cost per thousand square feet of each of the following jobs according to the activity-based costing system.

1. A routine 1.000-square-foot asbestos removal job.
2. A routine 2.000-square-foot asbestos removal job
3. A nonroutine 2 000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

4. Given the results you obtained in (3) above, do you agree with the estimator that the company's present policy for bidding on jobs is adequate?

Write a program that determines the cost of painting the walls of a windowless room. There is one door and it will be painted the same color as the walls. The problem requires a main function and two custom functions that are imported from a custom module that you create. In main, the program should prompt the user for five inputs shown in blue in the Sample Output below:

• the length, width, and height of the room in feet.
• the cost of one quart of the chosen paint.
• the square feet that can be covered by one quart of paint.

The three dimensions of the room should then be used as arguments for a function that calculates and returns the area of the walls in square feet. This area and the remaining two inputs should be used as arguments for a second, void function that determines and prints the cost of the painting job. There will likely be paint left over. There is a method in the math module that you can use to "round up" the number of quarts needed.
Sample Output
Enter the length of the room in feet 20
Enter the width of the room in feet 16
Enter the height of the walls in feet 9
Enter the price of one pail of paint 24.99
Enter the sq ft covered by one pail 100
This job requires 7 pails of paint
The cost of paint is $174.93

. Consider a new line of equipment that will cost $1.7 million and will save a company $300,000 in operating expenses for the next ten years. The estimated salvage value in ten years is $250,000. The new equipment will not affect sales, but it will result in an increase in Net Working Capital of $230,000.

The new line will replace an old line of equipment that will last for four more years before it could be scrapped for $75,000. If sold today, the old equipment is worth $180,000. The old equipment was purchased five years ago for $1.1m and is being depreciated using the MACRS 7-year rates. The new equipment will also be depreciated using the 7-year rates. The company’s marginal tax rate is 30% and their cost of capital is 10%.

Calculate the NPV and IRR of this replacement project. What is the breakeven salvage value for the new machinery?   (20 pts.)

MACRS 7-year rates:

You are considering a project with an opportunity cost of 10% and that offers up the following two possible payouts based on your ability to market the product:

In the optimistic state you expect the following payouts, -$4,795, $8,000, $8,000. Based on your pessimistic expectations you expect the following -$4,795, -$500, -$10,000. The cash flows fall at time period 0, 1 and 2.

Your sense is that there is a 40% chance things will turn out well and a 60% chance things will turn out poorly. What is your expected NPV if you are able to abandon the project after year one?
