HCA Healthcare is considering an acquisition of Mission Health. Mission Health is a publicly traded company, and its current beta is 1.30. Mission Health has been barely profitable and had paid an average of only 20 percent in taxes during the last several years. In addition, it uses little debt, having a debt ratio of just 25 percent. If the acquisition were made, HCA would operate Mission Health as a separate, wholly owned subsidiary. Mission Health would pay taxes on a consolidated basis, and the tax rate would therefore increase to 35 percent. HCA also would increase the debt capitalization in the Mission Health subsidiary to 40 percent of assets, which would increase its beta to 1.50. HCA estimates that Mission Health if acquired, would produce the following net cash flows to HCA's shareholders (in millions of dollars):

These cash flows include all acquisition effects. HCA's cost of equity is 14 percent, its beta is 1.0, and its cost of debt is 10 percent. The risk-free rate is 8 percent.

a. What discount rate should be used to discount the estimated cash flow? (Hint: Use HCA's cost of equity to determine the market risk premium.)

b. What is the dollar value of Mission Health to HCA's shareholders?

You plan to invest in the Kish Hedge Fund, which has total capital of $500 million invested in five stocks:

Kish's beta coefficient can be found as a weighted average of its stocks' betas. The risk-free rate is 5%, and you believe the following probability distribution for future market returns is realistic:

1. What is the equation for the Security Market Line (SML)? (Hint: First determine the expected market return.)
   1. r_i = 7.0% + (8.5%)b_i
   2. r_i = 5.0% + (8.6%)b_i
   3. r_i = 8.8% + (9.2%)b_i
   4. r_i = 8.8% + (8.6%)b_i
   5. r_i = 5.0% + (9.2%)b_i

3. Suppose Rick Kish, the president, receives a proposal from a company seeking new capital. The amount needed to take a position in the stock is $50 million, it has an expected return of 15%, and its estimated beta is 1.4. Should Kish invest in the new company?

1. you will read a list of internet logs from a notepad.
2. then you will extract the following.
- a host (e.g., '146.204.224.152')
- a user_name (e.g., 'feest6811' note: sometimes the username is missing! In this case, use '-' as the value for the username.)
- the timme a request was made (e.g., '21/Jun/2019:15:45:24-0700')
- the post request type (e.g., 'POST /incentivize HTTP/1.1' note: not everthing is a POST!)

Your task is to convert this into a list of strings:
"host :146.204.224.152"
"user_name: feest6811",
"time :21/Jun/2019:15:45:24 -0700",

Question 2: A study was undertaken to compare the waste-generating behaviour of residents in four remote, isolated communities: Pétaouchnok, Malakazoo, Erehwon, and Naschmere. 20 households were randomly selected from each of these communities, and the average daily garbage output measured over a specified period of time. The data obtained is shown in the table below (values in kg/day of waste per capita): Pétaouchnok Malakazoo Erehwon Naschmere 2.3 4.5 1.1 1.7 3.3 3.0 4.1 1.1 3.3 2.3 2.0 0.0 4.4 1.8 3.9 3.1 2.6 3.3 2.1 3.9 3.3 5.2 2.7 3.4 5.3 3.7 5.0 3.3 0.0 3.1 2.6 2.9 3.7 2.2 4.3 3.1 2.5 5.0 5.4 3.1 1.9 5.0 2.7 1.3 2.9 1.8 0.7 1.7 1.0 3.0 2.8 1.8 4.4 4.6 2.8 1.9 3.6 4.0 3.1 2.1 3.7 1.7 4.1 3.2 3.4 3.1 3.7 2.6 4.0 3.2 4.8 1.9 2.5 2.5 3.0 2.7 3.7 1.7 3.7 2.9 a) Calculate the grand mean, as well as the sample mean and variance for each town, for average per capita waste in kg/day. b) At LOC = 95%, what would you conclude about whether or not there is any difference in garbage generation rates across these four towns? Use the critical-value method. c) Using the p-value method, determine if your conclusion from Part (a) would be different for any common values of LOC.

C. Effect of adding a strong acid base to an amphoteric hydroxide

1. Obtain approximately 20.0 mL of 1.0 M zinc nitrate solution and place it into a 150 mL beaker.

2. Add 6 M sodium hydroxide (with mixing), in a drop-wise fashion, until a reasonable amount of solid appears.

3. Divide the mixture from step 2 into approximately two equal portions. (This mixture contains the amphoteric hydroxide.)

4. To one of the two portions, continue to add 6 Msodium hydroxide (with mixing) until you see a distinct change in the mixture. Note how much sodium hydroxide solution was added. (Recall: 20 drops  1 mL)

5. To the other portion, add 6 M nitric acid (with mixing) until you see a distinct change in the mixture. Note how much nitric acid solution was added. Dispose of the solutions in the appropriate waste receptacle

results for part c are as follow

first portion the solution got thick and was cloud llike.

the second portion

obervation after adding 1mL HNO3------------------ the precipate broke apart to smaller pieces onnce a good amount was added

QUESTION the context of part C of this experiment, explain what an amphoteric hydroxide can do that:

• acetic acid can’t do

• aqueous ammonia can’t do

• sodium chloride can’t do

1. My mom has been in pain due to a pinched nerve on her spine. She was advised to do some injections to manage some of the pain. I decided to do a little research on my own to learn whether other patients feel any major difference after the injections. A detailed survey is presented to 25 patients and results were recorded in a scale of 1 to 10 to mesure the level of pain after the injection. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean pain level for the population (assumed normal) from the following data: 7.4, 0.0, 2.1, 8.1, 7.2, 7.0, 3.2, 6.9, 0.5, 4.3, 2.2, 8.6, 7.8, 8.8, 5.9, 7.9, 1.8, 2.8, 1.7, 8.9, 9.4, 9.6, 4.3, 8.2 and 1.0.
