A firm with a WACC of 13% is evaluating two projects, A and B, for this year’s capital budget. The after-tax cash flows are depicted as follows: Project A 0 1 2 3 4 5 | | | | | | -6,000 2,200 2,200 2,200 2,200 2,200 Project B 0 1 2 3 4 5 | | | | | | -18,000 5,800 5,800 5,800 5,800 5,800 Calculate NPV, IRR (Hint: between 24.00% and 24.50% for Project A; between 18.00% and 18.50% for Project B), MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project. [All answers should be corrected to 2 decimal places.] Assuming the two projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend? If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?

What Happens to the Purchasing Value of Money during deflation?

1) Increases

2) Decreases

3) It changes but there is no way of knowing the direction or the magnitude of change.

4) No change, only the price changes.

Only 1 option is correct, please explain with reason.

I have a coin and I know that the probability p of flipping heads is either 1/2 or 1/4. I flip the coin 3 times and I get THT. Use the maximum likelihood method to determine the actual value of p.

C++ code

Consider a consumer with the Utility function: U = C^1/5 O^ 4/5 and facing a budget constraint: M ≥ PcC +PoO

Note: For this utility function MUC = (1/5)C^-4/5 O^ 4/5 and MUo = (4/5)C^1/5 O^ -1/5 Where C denotes the consumption of corn, and O denotes the consumption of other goods.

A) For corn, characterize the income elasticity of demand, the price elasticity of demand, the cross price elasticity of demand and explain what each represents. (You do not need to calculate each elasticity, just tell me if it is positive or negative.) Is corn a normal good?

B) Determine the indirect utility function for the consumer and describe what the indirect utility function represents. Suppose, as in C), PC = 1 and PO = 1. What is the value of the indirect utility function? Suppose PC increases to 2; calculate the new value for the indirect utility function. Explain why the indirect utility function increased or decreased

Introduction

Write in C++ at the Linux command line a program that is the same as the previous collection app project but now uses a class to store the items and also can save the items to a file that can be read back into the array by the user when the program is re-started.

You can use your project 1 submission as a starting point or you can do something new as long as it meets the listed requirements.

Again, try and keep it reasonably simple to do by the due date but still meets the requirements listed below. You will be graded mainly on how well you follow the listed requirements.

REQUIREMENTS

PLEASE SEE THE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FURTHER REQUIREMENTS NEEDED. BELOW IS NOT ALL THE REQUIREMENTS NEEDED IN YOUR CODE.

Your program should have as a minimum the following tasks:

a. Allow the user to add entries to the collection. Check for valid data and let the user re-enter if they enter invalid data. Please let the user know what is valid data. Remember that user input should NOT cause your program to malfunction or crash.

b. Allow the user to print out the entire collection. Should not print out blank entries or invalid entries.

c. Allow the user to delete an entry from the collection. Allow users to

choose which entry to delete. If the entry is not found, do print out an error message, don't just do nothing. You can ask the user to re-enter or you can just return to the main function.

d. Allow the user to read in items from a file. Ask the user for a file name, open the file and read in the items from the file into the array. f there are already items in the collection, append to the end of the array. If the file doesn't exist, print out an error message and return the main loop.

e. Allow the user to write out items to a file. Ask the user for a file name (if the file exists; just overwrite the file). The information should be written in a format that can be read back into the program when the user wants to read in the file. Basically, while grading your program I plan to create some items, write the items out to a file, exit the program, re-start the program, then read back in the items. If your program can't do this correctly, you will get points off.

Other tasks can be added but only if the above tasks are also present and working correctly. Extra tasks will be graded for completeness and correctness so make sure they work too.

The program also needs to have the following code structures:

a) An array of objects. The class needs at least 3 member variables. At least one member variable should be numeric (integer or floating point) and at least one member variable should be a string type (C-Strings or the builtin string class). Note that this class is for ONE and only ONE item in the list; don't store a list of items in this class.

b) The code for the class should be in two separate files: A header file (.h) and an implementation file (.cpp). These are in addition to the main.cpp file so in all you need to turn in at least three code files.

c) Member variables must be declared private. Only member functions can be declared public.

d) Must have a 'setter' and a 'getter' for each member variable. You can have other member functions in the class as long as they are doing something with the member variables for one item.

e) Must have at least a default constructor. You can have other parameterized constructors but at least the default one should be there. Initialize strings to an empty string and numbers to zero.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Example Output Runs
Here are 4 runs. Note that any files written out can be read back in when running the program again. Also, reading in will append to the end of the array.

A paint booth operation runs 5 days per week. As the production supervisor, you track the number of errors produced by the paint booth by week. Errors can be of any type (over spray, inadequate coverage, etc.), may occur on one or more pieces of equipment, and the number and type of equipment painted varies greatly. Ten weeks of data were collected and the number of errors identified are found in the following table. Construct a control chart with 3-sigma control limits to determine if the process is in control. Week Number of errors 1 5 2 4 3 5 4 4 5 4 6 3 7 0 8 2 9 0 10 3 1. What are the CL, UCL, and LCL? 2. Draw the control chart and plot the 10-weeks of data? 3. Does the control chart suggest that the paint booth operation may be out-of-control? Explain. 4. After investigating, you determine that there is a special cause. The paint booth had become wore and was overhauled after Week 5. What, if anything, should you do to continue monitoring the paint booth operation? Please demonstrate what should be done.
