IN JAVA create a program that has 8 players and ranks them randomly and contains 3 rounds. For each round the highest ranked player plays the lowest ranked one i.e., in quarter-final round, player ranked 1 plays player ranked 8, player ranked 2 plays player ranked 7 and so on. Report the winner of each match, simulating using random values of your choice USING JAVA COLLECTIONS IS NOT ALLOWED

A 0.650 kg projectile is launched from the edge of a cliff with an initial kinetic energy of 1950 J and at its highest point is 131.8 m above the launch point.

(a) What is the horizontal component of its velocity?

(b) What was the vertical component of its velocity just after launch?

(c) At one instant during its flight the vertical component of its velocity is 25.41 m/s. At that time, how far is it above or below the launch point?

A ground state hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of λ = 94.91 nm, exciting the electron to a higher energy (quantum) level. The electron then decays to a lower, intermediate energy level, emitting a photon of λ = 1281 nm. From that intermediate energy level the electron decays back to the ground state, emitting another photon. a) What is the highest energy level attained by the electron?

b) What was the intermediate energy level of the electron?

c) What was the λ of the second photon?

In C++, write a program that creates a two-dimensional array initialized with some integers. Have the following six functions: Total (total of all values in array), Average (average of values in array), Total of specific row (this needs 2 arguments, the array, like the others, and an integer for the subscript of any row. Total of specific Column (same as row), Max value in Row ( same as previous two, but return the highest value), Minimum Value ( same as previous).

• Assume that you recently graduated with a major in finance and just landed a job in the trust department of a large regional bank. Your first assignment is to invest $100,000 from an estate for which the bank is trustee. Because the estate is expected to be distributed to the heirs in approximately one year, you have been instructed to plan for a one-year holding period. Furthermore, your boss has restricted you to the following investment alternatives, shown with their probabilities and associated outcomes. The bank’s economic forecasting staff has developed probability estimates for the state of the economy, and the rate of return on each alternative is estimated under each state of the economy. High Tech, Inc., is an electronics firm; Collections, Inc., a firm collects past-due debts; and U.S. Rubber manufactures tires and various other rubber and plastic products.

• Given the situation as described, discuss the following questions:

  1. Calculate the expected rate of return on each alternative. Which alternative has the highest return and which one has the lowest return?
  2. Calculate the riskiness of each alternative using the standard deviation of returns. What type of risk does the standard deviation measure?
  3. Calculate the coefficient of variations (CVs) for the different securities and rank the alternatives based on the CVs. Does the CV measurement produce the same risk rankings as the standard deviation?
  4. Suppose you created a two-stock portfolio by investing $50,000 in High Tech and $50,000 in Collections. Calculate the expected return rP , the standard deviation ( δp), and the coefficient of variation (CVp) for this portfolio. How does the riskiness of this two-stock portfolio compare to the riskiness of the individual stocks if they were held in isolation?
  5. Suppose an investor starts with a portfolio consisting of one randomly selected stock. What would happen (1) to the riskiness and (2) to the expected return of the portfolio as more randomly selected stocks are added to the portfolio? What is the implication for investors? Draw two graphs to illustrate your answer.

2. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?
   -Select-Both projects would be rejected since both of their NPV's are negative.
3. Only Project M would be accepted because NPV(M) > NPV(N).
4. Only Project N would be accepted because NPV(N) > NPV(M).
5. Both projects would be accepted since both of their NPV's are positive
6. .Only Project M would be accepted because IRR(M) > IRR(N).Item 11

C. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?
-Select-

If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive NPV is chosen.

Accept Project N.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive IRR is chosen.

d. Notice that the projects have the same cash flow timing pattern. Why is there a conflict between NPV and IRR?
-Select-

The conflict between NPV and IRR is due to the difference in the timing of the cash flows.

There is no conflict between NPV and IRR.The conflict between NPV and IRR occurs due to the difference in the size of the projects.

The conflict between NPV and IRR is due to the relatively high discount rate.

The conflict between NPV and IRR is due to the fact that the cash flows are in the form of an annuity.
