The "over-the-air" television channel 13 operates between frequencies 210 MHz and 216 MHz, with the video and audio using different parts of this frequency range. To watch (and listen) to the channel properly, the tuner circuit in a television must resonate in the middle of this range (213 MHz) and produce a current over the whole range of at least 50% of the peak current at resonant frequency.

A particular television tuning circuit is built with a 17.3 pF capacitor, a variable inductor, and a variable resistor. What value should the resistor be in order for the current at both 210 MHz and 216 MHz to be at least 50% of the current at the resonant frequency?

Hint:You'll have to first calculate the value of the inductor so that the television tunes to channel 13.

You are considering constructing a new plant in a remote wilderness area to process the ore from a planned mining operation. You anticipate that the plant will take a year to build and cost

$ 100

million upfront. Once? built, it will generate cash flows of

$ 16

million at the end of every year over the life of the plant. The plant will be useless

20

years after its completion once the mine runs out of ore. At that point you expect to pay

$ 220$220

million to shut the plant down and restore the area to its pristine state. Using a cost of capital of

13 %

a. What is the NPV of the? project?

b. Is using the IRR rule reliable for this? project? Explain.

c. What are the IRRs of this? project?

5. You have been asked to appraise a closed Burger King on Hwy. 1 in Virginia Commons. The building was built 5 years ago, but has been vacant for the last 2. Vacant buildings tend to deteriorate faster than occupied buildings. For this reason you estimate the age of the building at 9 years. Fast food restaurants have an expected economic life of 20 years. The building is 2,100 square feet and sits on a lot that is 4,200 square feet. A lot just south of the subject sold recently for $18.50 a square foot. Fast food restaurant construction costs average $210 per square foot. What is your estimate of the value of this property (hint – cost approach)?

Give reasons for the following statements (4 – 5 lines)

1. Underwriting is not compulsory; despite this, a number of reputed companies for their public issue go in for at least partial underwriting

2. While the percentage allotment for non-retail investors in a book-built issue is the maximum, the % allotted to retail investors is the minimum

3. Any VCF wants to exercise exit option say after 5 years of funding

4. VCF does not do angel funding or incubation funding in India whereas this is being done regularly by them in foreign countries

5. A sharebroker is the only common service intermediary between the primary and secondary markets; his role is different. What are his roles in these two segments?

4. Consider each of the following activities separately, how much does it contribute to US GDP?

(a) Company X in the US bought steel from another US company, which costs $50,000. Company X used the steel to make cars, and sold them for $150,000 this year.

(b) Your kid mows the lawn for your neighbor, and your neighbor gives him $50 for his work.

(c) This year, you sold your house for $500,000, which was built 100 years ago. Your agent charges you $10,000 for the agent services.

(d) Your mom gave you $1,000 for your birthday. You put $500 in your savings account.

Write a program that asks for three numbers. Check first to see that all numbers are different. If they’re not different, then exit the program. Otherwise, display the largest number of the three.

Outputs:

- Enter the first number: 4

- Enter the second number: 78

- Enter the third number: 8

(The largest number is 78.)

Tasks

- Complete the algorithm manually without using any built-in functions to find the largest number on list.

- Revise the program so that all entered values are tracked and the user is prevented from entering a number that’s already been entered.

- Revise the program so that it asks for ten numbers instead of three.

- Revise the program so that it asks for an unlimited number of numbers.

You are considering constructing a new plant in a remote wilderness area to process the ore from a planned mining operation. You anticipate that the plant will take a year to build and cost $ 96 million upfront. Once​ built, it will generate cash flows of $ 16 million at the end of every year over the life of the plant. The plant will be useless 20 years after its completion once the mine runs out of ore. At that point you expect to pay $ 224 million to shut the plant down and restore the area to its pristine state. Using a cost of capital of 11 %​: a. What is the NPV of the​ project? b. Is using the IRR rule reliable for this​ project? Explain. c. What are the IRRs of this​ project?

Applying statistical analysis skills to real-world decision making is key in modern business and it can make a company to be ahead competitively. Even in today’s workplace, you can have an immediate competitive edge over other new employees, and even those with more experience, by applying statistical analysis skills. Chose any company that you have observed that it is not utilizing its data as your case study. Do some background research on the company? Write an essay (report) outlining some statistical data analysis that the company can use in its decision making. Relate how data analysis can be attained by using built-in R-programming packages or functions.

This is an exercise on basic python grammar.

Instructions

Assume there are 10 teams in a competition. Their names are "team1", "team2" .. "team10".

Write a function to generate their order of performance randomly.

Submit your code in Jupyter notebook format (.ipynb) on Canvas

Hint

1. Use a list to save all the team names
2. Define a function called order()  
3. Use built-in module random to generate a random index within the list
4. Remove the item from the current list and add it to a new empty list
5. Repeat this until the old list is empty (length of the list becomes 0)

Note: You may certainly use another data structure or another algorithm without following the above suggested steps.
