Q6.13) Unary minuses can be added in several ways to the arithmetic expression grammar of Figure 6.17 or Figure 6.18. Revise the BNF and EBNF for each of the cases that follow so that it satisfies the stated rule:

expr → expr + term | term

term → term * factor | factor

factor → ( expr ) | number

number → number digit | digit

digit → 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

[Figure 6.17. Revised grammar for simple integer arithmetic expressions]

expr → term { + term }

term → factor { * factor }

factor → ( expr ) | number

number → digit { digit }

digit → 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

[Figure 6.18 EBNF rules for simple integer arithmetic expressions]

(a) At most, one unary minus is allowed in each expression, and it must come at the beginning of an expression, so -2 + 3 is legal (and equals 1) and -2 + (-3) is legal, but -2 + -3 is not.

(b) At most, one unary minus is allowed before a number or left parenthesis, so -2 + -3 and -2 * -3 are legal, but --2 and -2 + --3 are not.

(c) Arbitrarily many unary minuses are allowed before numbers and left parentheses, so everything above is legal.

Please find a solution to the following:

Δu=0, 1<r<4, 0≤θ<2π

u(1,θ)=cos5*θ, 0<θ<2π

u(4,θ)=sin4*θ, 0<θ<2π

1. For each of these lists of integers, provide a simple formula or rule that generates the terms of an integer sequence that begins with the given list. Assuming that your formula or rule is correct, determine the next three terms of the sequence.

Parker Products manufactures a variety of household products. The company is considering introducing a new detergent. The company’s CFO has collected the following information about the proposed product.

 The project has an anticipated economic life of 4 years.  The company will have to purchase a new machine to produce the detergent. The machine has an up-front cost (t = 0) of $2 million. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years. The company anticipates that the machine will last for four years, and that after four years, its salvage value will equal zero.  If the company goes ahead with the proposed product, it will have an effect on the company’s net operating working capital. At the outset, t = 0, inventory will increase by $140,000 and accounts payable will increase by $40,000. At t = 4, the net operating working capital will be recovered after the project is completed.  The detergent is expected to generate sales revenue of $1 million the first year (t = 1), $2 million the second year (t = 2), $2 million the third year (t = 3), and $1 million the final year (t = 4). Each year the operating costs (not including depreciation) are expected to equal 50 percent of sales revenue.  The project will not increase fixed costs of the company.  The company’s overall WACC is 10 percent. However, the proposed project is riskier than the average project for Parker; the project’s WACC is estimated to be 12 percent.  The company’s tax rate is 40 percent

Please calculate NPV and IRR of the proposed project and help the company decide whether the company should accept it or not?

Tombro Industries is in the process of automating one of its plants and developing a flexible manufacturing system. The company is finding it necessary to make many changes in operating procedures. Progress has been slow, particularly in trying to develop new performance measures for the factory.

In an effort to evaluate performance and determine where improvements can be made, management has gathered the following data relating to activities over the last four months:

The president has read in industry journals that throughput time, MCE, and delivery cycle time are important measures of performance, but no one is sure how they are computed. You have been asked to assist the company, and you have gathered the following data relating to these measures:
