Country risk

1. A company is planning a project that must be located in a country that has a relatively high level of political risk. That is, there is a risk that after the company has made an investment in the project in the foreign country, the government may alter the regulatory environment to the disadvantage of the company. Identify and explain two things the company can do before beginning this project to reduce the political risk the project faces.

2. Identify two sources of country risk that are not related to or caused by political risk.

An electron is placed in a region with a 1010 V/m electric field directed in the positive x-direction. The electron escapes this region after traveling 14.0 cm. What is the kinetic energy of the electron? What is the particle's velocity? Will a proton placed at the same initial position and traveling through a similar 14.0 cm path acquire the same amount of kinetic energy? Will the proton experience the same change in velocity? Why or why not?

I have seen this question on here before but the velocity portion was not present.

Colter Steel has $5,450,000 in assets. Temporary current assets $ 2,900,000 Permanent current assets 1,595,000 Fixed assets 955,000 Total assets $ 5,450,000 Short-term rates are 7 percent. Long-term rates are 12 percent. Earnings before interest and taxes are $1,150,000. The tax rate is 20 percent. If long-term financing is perfectly matched (synchronized) with long-term asset needs, and the same is true of short-term financing, what will earnings after taxes be?

Golden Eagle Mining, a U.S.-based MNC has a foreign subsidiary that earns $1003000 before local taxes, with all the after tax funds to be available to the parent in the form of dividends. The foreign income tax rate is 24 percent, the foreign dividend withholding tax rate is 10 percent, and the firm's U.S. tax rate is 29 percent. What are the funds available to the parent MNC if foreign taxes can be applied as a credit against the MNC's U.S. tax liability?

you have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special purpose truck for $70,000 , the truck fall into the MACES 3 year class and will be sold after 3 years for $19,900 use of the truck will require a increse in NWC (spare parts inventory) of $1900 , the truck will have no effect on revenues, but is expected to save the firm $23,700 per year in before tax operating costs. the firmmarginal tax rate is 35 percent. What will be the cash flows for the project?

At 700 K acetaldehyde decomposes in the gas phase to methane and carbon monoxide. The reaction is:
CH3CHO(g)→CH4(g)+CO(g)
A sample of CH3CHO is heated to 700 K and the pressure is measured as 0.41 atm before any reaction takes place. The kinetics of the reaction are then followed by measurements of total pressure and these data are obtained:

t(s) 0 1000 3000 7000

PTotal (atm) 0.41 0.47 0.56 0.64

Find total pressure after 1.65×10⁴ s .

After reading Special Topic 5, write a 2-page paper answering the following: Why did housing prices rise rapidly during 2002 - 2005? Why did the mortgage default rate increase so sharply during 2006 and 2007 even before the 2008 - 2009 recession began? What did the Community Reinvestment Act have to do with the housing bubble and collapse? Cite your sources as needed. Use APA formatting. View your assignment rubric.

What problems with the Phillips Curve have surfaced before? To the extent that business is now more globalized than when William Phillips described the curve in 1958, could that be a reason why the Phillips Curve is failing? Or is the problem, you think, that unemployment rates have yet to fall far enough to trigger inflation? Perhaps Lucas is correct after all in thinking that if monetary policy is credible, there wouldn’t be a Phillips Curve at all? Explain In detail and use as many graphs as possible.
