Tweedledee Ltd and Tweedledum Ltd have identical expected operating cash flows of $600 million in perpetuity, but Tweedledee is financed entirely by equity, while Tweedledum’s capital structure includes 30 percent debt and 70 percent equity finance. Assume that the assumptions of a perfect capital market hold (including the assumption of risk-free debt), the measured equity beta for Tweedledee is 0.8, the yield on ten-year Government bonds is 6 percent and the market risk premium is 7 percent. Each firm has 500 million shares on issue.
What is the theoretical firm value for Tweedledum Ltd, rounded to the nearest $100 million?

population of potential clientele have head breadths that are
normally distributed with a mean of 5.9-in and a standard deviation
of 0.8-in.
In what range would you expect to find the middle 68% of most head
breadths?

Let Y1, Y2, . . . , Y20 be a random sample of size n = 20 from a normal distribution with unknown mean µ and known variance σ 2 = 5. We want to test H0; µ = 7 vs. Ha : µ > 7. (a) Find the uniformly most powerful test with significance level 0.05. (b) For the test in (a), find the power at each of the following alternative values of µ: µa = 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0. (c) Sketch a graph of the power function (d) What is the smallest sample size n such that an α = 0.05-level test has power at least 0.8 when µ = 8?

Calculate the heat-removal factor for a collector having an overall heat loss coefficient of 10 W/m2 K and constructed of copper fins and tubes (k = 390 W/m?K). Tube-to-tube center distance is 12 cm, fin thickness is 0.05 cm, tube diameter is 1.5 cm, and fluid-tube heat transfer coefficient is 1000 W/m2K. The cover transmittance to solar radiation is 0.8 and is independent of direction. The solar absorptance of the absorber plate is 0.9, the collector is 1 m wide and 2 m long, and the water flow rate is 0.03 kg/s. The water temperature is 330 K.
