Which of the following is not considered a relevant concern in determining incremental cash flows for a new product?

[CH-10]

1. Answer all parts (a), (b), and (c) of this question.
   1. [10 marks] Define and explain the concepts of moral hazard and adverse selection. Illustrate each concept with two examples: one in the context of new technology sale, the other in the context of new technology funding.
   2. [20 marks] Explain why asymmetric information may cause a market failure in the markets for selling new technology and the market for funding new technological development.   
   3. [20 marks] Propose and defend a solution to these market failures in each of the two markets (technology sale and new technological development funding). Point out any disadvantages as well as any advantages of your solution.

1) Your CEO has come to you and asked that you develop a NEW approach to pricing for your product for a specific new distribution outlet (he won’t tell you much, but it will reach a new target market: urban, mid to upper-income, multicultural, 20s-30s). What pricing strategy will you utilize and why?

2) How does this new pricing strategy fit with the Marketing Mix, Positioning, and Differentiation strategy for your company? What other creative new pricing methods might your brand consider to appeal to current customers and sell more product?

Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.

This year Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.

The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.

(a) Evaluate in the following ways whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)

(1) Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old. (For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided. If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

(2) Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.) (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25)

(3) Comparing the profitability index for each choice. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25)

A poll surveyed people in six countries to assess attitudes toward a variety of alternate forms of energy. Suppose the data in the following table are a portion of the poll's findings concerning whether people favor or oppose the building of new nuclear power plants.

(a)

How large was the sample in this poll?

(b)

Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether people's attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is independent of country.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is mutually exclusive of the country.
H_a: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is not mutually exclusive of the country.

H₀: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is not independent of the country.
H_a: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is independent of the country.

H₀: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is independent of the country.
H_a: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is not independent of the country.

H₀: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is not mutually exclusive of the country.
H_a: The attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is mutually exclusive of the country.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

p-value =

State your conclusion.

Do not reject H₀. We conclude that the attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is not independent of the country.

Reject H₀. We conclude that the attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is not independent of the country.   

Do not reject H₀. We cannot conclude that the attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is independent of the country.

Reject H₀. We cannot conclude that the attitude toward building new nuclear power plants is independent of the country.

Using the percentage of respondents who "strongly favor" and "favor more than oppose," which country has the most favorable attitude toward building new nuclear power plants?

Great Britain or France or Italy or Spain or Germany or United States

Which country has the least favorable attitude?

Great Britain or France or Italy or Spain or Germany or United States

This task is about using the Java Collections Framework to accomplish some basic textprocessing tasks. These questions involve choosing the right abstraction (Collection, Set, List, Queue, Deque, SortedSet, Map, or SortedMap) to efficiently accomplish the task at hand. The best way to do these is to read the question and then think about what type of Collection is best to use to solve it. There are only a few lines of code you need to write to solve each of them. Unless specified otherwise, sorted order refers to the natural sorted order on Strings, as defined by String.compareTo(s). Part 0 in the assignment is an example specification and solution.
