Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $3.6 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $4.1 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $18.1 million to build, and the site requires $950,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

4. Mrs Garcia, a physics enthusiast, goes to a water park in South Padre Island to test the concepts learned during class. She goes on a water slide that is 265 meters long and is built at an angle with the ground of θ = 30 degrees. – What is her final velocity at the end of the slide?

5. A goalkeeper kicks a soccer ball that is initially resting on the ground. She kicks the ball with an initial velocity of 8 m/s. The initial angle between the ground and the trajectory of the ball is θ=27 degrees. – How long is the ball in the air? – How far does the ball travel? – How high does the ball go? Hint: Use equations of motion and the definition of range and maximum height for projectile motion.

6. Solve the following quadratic equations: 2x 2 + 6x + 1 = 0 (1) 4x 2 + 12x + 2 = 0 (2) 9x 2 − 4x + 12 = 0 (3) (x − 1) x + 3 + 3 (x − 1) = (4 − x) (x − 1)(x − 1) (4) Hint: Factor and simplify using (x − 1).

Find a company that sells gold in Australia or South Africa?

1. Using the profile information, you have already developed to identify a shipment size for

your commodity coming to Canada.

2. Using the information above, along with the supplier’s terms of sale, negotiate an

Incoterm and purchase price for your commodity.

3. Use the Internet to identify logistics suppliers who will pick up your commodity from the

foreign supplier, ship it to Canada and deliver it to your business location in Kitchener.

4. Use the Internet to find logistics suppliers’ rates for the various stages of the journey so

you can begin to calculate total unit costs for your shipment.

5. For this exercise, you are responsible for the procurement component and all of the

logistics and Customs requirements.

6. State all assumptions made in arriving at a total landed cost for your commodity.

Snakes and ladders is an ancient south Asian board game. It consists of 10X10 grid board which
contains some snakes and ladders at specific boxes/indexes. One hundred is the maximum and a must
to win score for each player. First player reaching 100 gets to win the game and is immediately
declared as first Winner.
You are required to do the following:
 Create a snake board of 10 rows and 10 columns.
 Randomly generate 09 snakes on the board. In order to generate snake you only need to know
head and tail of the snake. Make sure that both head and tail are on the board. Moreover, if
head is on row (Mi) and tail is on row (Mj) then i will always be less than j.
 Similarly, generate 09 ladders on the board.
 Print the snake board along with snakes and ladders on the screen.
 In order to start both the player need a six on the dice. Once the game is started display the
output on the dice and wait for key press (you can use getch()) before second player’s turn.
 Game will go on until one player wins the game.
 In case player lands on a snake’s head it will come down to its tail, here you need to display a
message “oops, snake got you!!!”
 In case player lands on the bottom of the leader it will climb the ladder, here you need to
display a message “you got lucky”
Note: Input validation is mandatory when reading taking input size of the board.

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 39m/s . The plane is in a 12m/s wind blowing toward the southwest relative to the earth.

Question A:

Letting x be east and y be north, find the components of v? P/E (the velocity of the plane relative to the earth).

Question B:

Find the magnitude of v? P/E.

Question C:

Find the direction of v? P/E.

Any help is appreciated!

A river 108.4 m wide flows toward the south at 30.5 m/min. A girl on the west bank wishes to reach the east bank in the least possible time. She can swim 108.4 m in still water in 1.60 min.

(a) How long does it take her to cross the river?

(b) How far downstream does she travel?

c) What is her velocity relative to land? Magnitude and direction

(d) What is the total distance she travels?

(e) In what direction must she swim if she wishes to travel straight across the river?

•South Park Energy is considering replacing the company's Methane Plant with a Nuclear Plant.

•The Methane Plant was built two years ago at a cost of $120M with an expected useful life of 5 years. This plant is being depreciated to zero using 5-year straight-line depreciation. The Methane Plant can be sold today for $70M. If this plant had been kept, it would have had no salvage value at the end of its expected useful life three years from today.

•The Nuclear Plant would cost $500M to build today. Since the Nuclear plant will just be a working prototype, its expected useful life is only 3 years and it falls in the 3-year MACRS depreciation class (yr 1: 33%, yr 2: 45%, yr 3: 15%, yr 4: 7%). The Nuclear Plant is expected to have a salvage value of $40M at the end of the plant's 3-year life. The Nuclear Plant is expected to reduce operating expenses by $150M each year during the plant's 3-year expected life and increase revenues by $40 million each year. The company's marginal tax rate is 40%, and this project has a weighted average cost of capital of 13%.

(Q1) What is the total cash flows during year 3 for this replacement analysis?

(Q2) What is the initial cash flow for this replacement analysis?

Consider a market consisting of several small pulp & paper mills operating in the South-east. These firms discharge chlorine and other waste products into nearby rivers and streams. The rivers and streams are not privately owned, and the mills’ discharges are currently unregulated by the EPA or by the states’ environmental agencies. The demand for paper produced by the mills in this market is P = 800 - 0.5Q. The marginal cost of producing paper in this market is MC = 20 + 0.3Q, where P and MC are expressed in dollars, and Q is expressed in tons of pulp and paper.

a. Determine this market’s equilibrium price and quantity, total revenue, marginal cost, consumer and producer surplus.

b. University researchers estimate that chlorine emissions from the industry's production impose costs, unaccounted for the industry or the market in which it operates, equal to P = 0.05Q. Determine the market’s efficient equilibrium price and quantity when all costs are accounted for.

c. The researchers then suggest that a tax, equal to the unaccounted for costs, be imposed on the production of pulp & paper in this market. What is the dollar amount of the tax? How much in revenue would the government collect? Would the market be inefficient with the tax? Explain (briefly and concisely) your answer.

Providence Hospital generates monthly performance reports for each of its departments. The hospital must maintain an adequate staff of attending and on-call physicians at all times, so physician costs are not affected by the number of patient visits. But all other costs do vary with patient activity. Nurse-hours are used as the activity measure for nursing costs, and patient visits are used as the activity measure for the cost of supplies and other variable costs.

The head physician of the hospital's emergency room, Yolanda Mortensen, is responsible for control of costs. During October, the emergency room unit expected to treat 3,700 patients but actually treated 4,200 patients. The following additional information for October is available:
