Ferry Services Incorporated (FSI) is a public company that has
three divisions. The first division provides coastal ferry services
on the West and East coasts of Canada. The second division designs
and builds ferries for their own use as well as for external
customers. The third division operates and manages ferry terminal
buildings.
In 2011, FSI anticipates a taxable loss of $20 million due to a
major hurricane that sunk one of their ferry ships and caused
extensive damage to one of their terminal buildings. For the past
three years they have had taxable income of 2008 - $5 million; 2009
- $10 million; and 2010 - $8 million.
FSI has a number of long-term bank loans with Canadian Big Bank. In
2011, they obtained additional financing to recover from the costs
associated with the hurricane. The bank requires annual audited
financial statements. The new loan has a financial covenant
requiring that FSI maintain a certain current ratio, as well as
dividend distribution is restricted until the loan is paid
off.
You have recently been hired to develop new accounting policies for
FSI’s Dec 31 year-end. You have been asked by the Board to discuss
alternatives and provide recommendations on the appropriate
accounting policies for events that have occurred during 2011.
Where possible you have been asked to quantify the impact of the
accounting policies. The incremental borrowing rate for FSI is 8%.
The tax rates for the last few years were: 2008 (40%), 2009 (38%),
and 2010 (38%). The tax rate for 2011 is 40%.
1) A major hurricane hit the Eastern Coast in the fall of 2011.
This hurricane was tracking to miss the Eastern Seaboard but had a
sudden change in direction. FSI was caught off guard and one of
their ferries as well as a ferry terminal was in the direct path of
the hurricane. Unfortunately, FSI found out that their insurance
did not cover hurricane damage. To cover the costs associated with
the damages FSI obtained a new five year bank loan of $25 million
with quarterly interest payments. Their cost of borrowing was 8% a
year. To obtain the loan FSI had to pay $1 million of transaction
costs.
2) The ferry was one of their older ferries with a carrying amount
of $2 million dollars. The costs to recover the ferry are
approximately $3 million and it is anticipated they will receive
$0.5 million worth of salvaged material. The ferry will need to be
replaced and construction was initiated in December 2011. The
estimated construction costs are $20 million since the ferry will
be state of the art with a new weather warning software system.
Construction is expected to be completed in the spring of 2013.
Until that time a ferry was brought out of retirement. The ferry
had been retired due to extensive renovations required to meet
environmental legislation. These renovations cost FSI $2 million in
2011.

3) The damage to the terminal was $7 million. FSI leases all of
their terminals from Leasing Incorporated (LI). This lease has a
remaining lease term of 2 years. Due to the terms of the lease
agreement FSI is required to pay a large penalty of $5 million
dollars for repairs to the terminal. This cost far exceeds the
remaining benefits of the lease agreement.
4) A lawsuit was launched in December 2011 against FSI due to the
tragedy of the sinking of the ferry. FSI decided that they want to
settle quickly out of court to avoid negative publicity. They have
offered $5 million to the families. Their lawyers have not
responded to this offer.
5) Passengers can purchase their ferry tickets on-line through
Tickets.com. To encourage use of the ferry FSI provides passengers
free parking if they purchase an annual pass. Otherwise passengers
pay a daily rate to park their vehicle.
6) Some of the ferries contain asbestos. Changes in government
legislation in 2011 require FSI to remove the asbestos in 2016. The
anticipated cost of removal is $5 million.
7) FSI leases their ferry terminals from Leasing Incorporated. In
2011, FSI obtained the rights to operate a ferry on a new route.
They entered into a lease agreement for a newly constructed
terminal and the land. The lease term is for 60 years with a 20
year bargain renewal term.
8) In 2011, FSI issued $10,000,000 of 8% convertible bonds at the
option of FSI into common shares. These bonds mature in five years
and are convertible at that time by FSI into common shares at a
rate of 50 shares for each $1,000 bond.

Write a C++ program that prints a calendar for a given year.
ONLY USING "#include<iostream>" and "#include<cmath>" The program prompts the user for two inputs:
1) The year for which you are
generating the calendar.
2) The day of the week that
January first is on, you will use the following notation to set the
day of the week:
0
Sunday
1
Monday
2
Tuesday
3 Wednesday
4
Thursday
5
Friday
6 Saturday
Your program should generate a calendar similar to the one shown in the example output below. The calendar should be printed on the screen. Your program should be able to handle leap years. A leap year is a year in which we have 466 days. That extra day comes at the end of February. Thus, a leap year has 466 days with 29 days in February. A century year is a leap year if it is divisible by 400. Other years divisible by 4 but not by 100 are also leap years.
Example: Year 2000 is a leap year because it is divisible by 400. Year 2004 is a leap year because it is divisible by 4 but not by 100.
Your program should clearly describe the functionality of each function and should display the instructions on how to run the program.
Sample Input:
Enter the year for which you wish to generate the calendar:
2018
Enter the day of the week that January first is on: 1
Sample output:

RISK AND RETURN –
(A) Consider the expected return and standard deviation of these four stocks (chart below). If investors are buying only one stock, which one of these stocks would no investor buy? Why? (PLEASE INCLUDE FORMULAS USED TO SOLVE PROBLEM FOR EXCEL).
| STOCK | EXPECTED RETURN | STANDARD DEVIATION |
| A | 6% | 1% |
| B | 7% | 1.5% |
| C | 7% | 2% |
| D | 8% | 2% |
ADDING AN ASSET TO A PORTFOLIO -
(B) Your current portfolio's cash returns over the past three years look like this:
| YEAR 1 | YEAR 2 | YEAR 3 | E(CF) | o | |
| Your Portfolio CF's | 120 | 100 | 80 | 100 | 20 |
The past three years are representative of a good year, an average year, and a bad year for you. You are considering adding one of these two equally priced assets to your portfolio:
| YEAR 1 | YEAR 2 | YEAR 3 | E(CF) | o | |
| New Asset 1 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 0 |

A paper company requires that the true median height of pine trees exceed 40 feet before they are harvested. A penalty is assigned if the median height is less than 40 feet. The management wants to avoid this penalty. A sample of 24 trees in one large plot is selected, and 7 of them are over 40 feet. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test to determine if the median height of pine trees in the plot is less than 40 feet. The estimated median is 35 feet. Do not assume normality. Let a = 0.05.
