Hula Enterprises is considering a new project to produce solar water heaters. The finance manager wishes to find an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate for the project. The (equity) beta of Hot Water, a firm currently producing solar water heaters, is 1.1. Hot Water has a debt to total value ratio of 0.3. The expected return on the market is 0.09, and the riskfree rate is 0.03. Suppose the corporate tax rate is 35 percent. Assume that debt is riskless throughout this problem. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 0.16)) a. The expected return on the unlevered equity (return on asset, R0) for the solar water heater project is__ %. b. If Hula is an equity financed firm, the weighted average cost of capital for the project is ___%. c. If Hula has a debt to equity ratio of 2, the weighted average cost of capital for the project is ___%. d. The finance manager believes that the solar water heater project can support 20 cents of debt for every dollar of asset value, i.e., the debt capacity is 20 cents for every dollar of asset value. Hence she is not sure that the debt to equity ratio of 2 used in the weighted average cost of capital calculation is valid. Based on her belief, the appropriate debt ratio to use is ___%. The weighted average cost of capital that you will arrive at with this capital structure is___ %.

Due to tides mean sea level off of Newport Beach reaches a height of 1.3 meters during high
tide and 0.3 meters during low tide. Successive high tides occur every 12 hours (43,200
seconds). A buoy with mass m = 40 kg is floating in the ocean off of Newport Beach.
1) Relevant concepts/equations. (5 points.)
2) Assume we begin to measure the buoy’s displacement at High tide which occurs exactly
at 12:00 am (0 seconds). Also assume we can model the buoy’s displacement as a simple
undamped oscillation. What is the Amplitude and phase angle for the buoy’s
displacement? (10 points)
3) During one half cycle of six hours (21600 seconds), the buoy’s displacement passes
through an angle of 180 degrees. From this information, what is the angular frequency
ω of the buoy? (5 points)
4) Using your previous answer, what is the force constant ‘k’ acting on the buoy? (5 points)
5) What is the maximum velocity of the buoy? What is the maximum acceleration of the
buoy? (10 points)
6) What is the energy of the buoy due to tidal displacement? (5 points)
7) How much work is done during one low tide to high tide cycle? How much Power per
hour is required to accomplish this? (Assume g = 9.81 m/s^2 compare your answer to a
65W light bulb which uses 65 watts per hour). (10 points)

Nast Stores has derived the following consumer credit-scoring model after years of data collecting and model testing:Accounts Receivable Management | 153 Y = (0.20 × EMPLOYMT) + (0.4 × HOMEOWNER) + (0.3 × CARDS) EMPLOYMT = 1 if employed full-time, 0.5 if employed part-time, and 0 if unemployed HOMEOWNER = 1 if homeowner, 0 otherwise CARDS = 1 if presently has 1–5 credit cards, 0 otherwise Nast determines that a score of at least 0.70 indicates a very good credit risk, and it extends credit to these individuals.
a. I f Janice is employed part-time, is a homeowner, and has six credit cards at present, does the model indicate she should receive credit?
b. J anice just got a full-time job and closed two of her credit card accounts. Should she receive credit? Has her creditworthiness increased or decreased, according to the model?
c. Y our boss mentions that he just returned from a trade-association conference, at which one of the speakers recommended that length of time at present residence (regardless of homeownership status) be included in credit-scoring models. If the weight turns out to be 0.25, how do you think the variable would be coded (i.e., 0 stands for what, 1 stands for what, etc.)?
d. S uggest other variables that Associated might have left out of the model, and tell how you would code them (i.e., 0, 1, 2 are assigned to what conditions or variables?).

a. You should not be surprised by the presence of a large number of outliers because the magazines are highly heterogeneous and it is unrealistic to expect a single relationship to connect all of them. Find outliers and high leverage points. Delete the outliers and obtain an acceptable regression equation that relates advertising revenue to advertising pages.
b. For the deleted data, check the homogeneity of the variance. Choose an appropriate transformation of the data and fit the model to the transformed data. Evaluate the fit.
