Assume that you recently graduated from ADU’s MHA program and landed a job as an assistant financial officer with the Cleveland Clinic. The clinic has $100,000 sitting in a checking account. The funds were designated by the board for the construction of a proton therapy facility. Construction of the facility will start one year from now. Your first assignment is to invest the $100,000 with the understanding that you need to plan for a one-year holding period because the funds must be available when construction begins in one year. Further, your boss has restricted you to the following investment alternatives, shown with their probabilities and associated outcomes.                 

Barney Smith Investment Advisors recently issued estimates for the state of the economy and the rate of return on each state of the economy. Alta Industries, Inc. is an electronics firm; Repo Men Inc. collects past due debts; and American Foam manufactures mattresses and various other foam products. Barney Smith also maintains an "index fund" which owns a market-weighted fraction of all publicly traded stocks; you can invest in that fund and thus obtain average stock market results. Given the situation as described, answer the following questions.                  

a. Calculate the expected rate of return on each alternative.

b. Calculate the standard deviation of returns on each alternative.

c. Calculate the coefficient of variation on each alternative.

d. Calculate the beta on each alternative.

g. Suppose you create a two-stock portfolio by investing $50,000 in Alta Industries and $50,000 in Repo    Men. Calculate the expected return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and beta for this    portfolio. How does the risk of this two-stock portfolio compare with the risk of the individual stocks if they were held in isolation?

Please I need it urgently

1. “Hassen Constructions SAOG”, the company is situated in Al Khuwair. The organization is specialised in the manufacturing of building materials that are used in construction sites.

Currently the company’s capital structure (total capital) is ungeared. However, the owners of Hassen constructions is planning to change their capital structure into a leverage (geared) capital structure as they believe having a debt component in its capital structure will be beneficial to the organization.

The company total capital is RO 300 million which is an equity-based capital structure. The company has two share buyback options available to move into a leverage(geared) capital structure.

Option 1

The company has an option in converting 30% of its equity capital to debt capital at an interest rate of 7%.

Option 2

The company has an option of converting 50% of its equity capital to debt capital at an interest rate of 7.5%

To evaluate the impact on the alternative policies the financial accountant of the company has presented the following data to evaluate the impact on ROE in the current capital structure and the above two given options.

The financial accountant believes that based on the sales forecast the sales could be either weak, average or strong. The probability for the market to be weak is 0.3, average 0.5 and strong 0.2.

The profits before interest and tax (PBIT) , if the market is considered to be weak is RO 30 million, if the market is average the PBIT is 50% greater than the market is weak and if the market is considered to be strong it is 75% greater than if the market is average.

The current applicable tax rate is 25%

Required:

1. Calculate expected annual return on equity (ROE) under each option (the current, option I and option II)
2. Calculate expected average annual return on equity (ROE) considering all options together.
3. Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of Hassen constructions in to changing their capital structure from and equity based to leverage. And, advise which of the three options (current or option I or option II) that Hassan Construction SAOG should go for under a normal situation? And substantiate your advice with suitable reasons.

d. Evaluate the factors that Hassen construction should consider when evaluating its capital structure policy.                                    

6.1 A statute gives the Department of the Interior the power to allow or to curtail mining within the national forests “as the best interests of all users of the national forest shall dictate.” Is this a valid delegation of legislative power to the agency, or is it too broad a delegation of power? 8.1 Before deciding which remedies are available under Article 2 of the UCC, one must first determine whether the transaction involved the sale of goods. Consider the following fact patterns. A. Tanzer entered into a contract with Audio Visual Artistry to install a “smart home” system in Tanzer’s house, which was under construction. The contract included expert installation services for a custom home theatre, lighting, music, and phone system. Was the contract for a sale of goods or services? [Audio Visual Artistry v. Tanzer, 403 S.W.3d 789 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2012).] B. Wachter, a construction company, entered into a contract to purchase an accounting and project management software package from DCI, a company that develops, markets, and supports software for construction companies. The package included “installation of the software, a full year of maintenance, and a training and consulting package.” Was the contract for a sale of goods or services? [Wachter Management Co. v. Dexter & Chaney, Inc., 144 P.3d 747 (Kan. 2006).] C. A customer sued a New York restaurant for breach of warranty after a glass of water allegedly exploded in his hand during the course of a meal. Does the claim involve the sale of goods? [Gunning ex rel. Gunning v. Small Feast Caterers, Inc., 777 N.Y.S.2d 268 (N.Y. Sup. 2004).] D . Brenda Brandt underwent an operation at the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center to implant a ProtoGen Sling to resolve her urinary incontinence. Instead of solving the problem, the sling resulted in serious complications and was subsequently removed. After the device was recalled by its manufacturer, Brandt sued the Health Center for breach of warranty. Does the claim involve the sale of goods or services? [Brandt v. Boston Scientific Corp., 792 N.E.2d 296 (Ill. 2003).

Evaluate the factors that Hassen construction should consider when evaluating its capital structure policy.

1. Circle:

Implement a Java class with the name Circle. It should be in the package edu.gcccd.csis.

The class has two private instance variables: radius (of the type double) and color (of the type String).

The class also has a private static variable: numOfCircles (of the type long) which at all times will keep track of the number of Circle objects that were instantiated.

Construction:

A constructor that constructs a circle with the given color and sets the radius to a default value of 1.0.

A constructor that constructs a circle with the given, radius and color.

Once constructed, the value of the radius must be immutable (cannot be allowed to be modified)

Behaviors:

Accessor and Mutator aka Getter and Setter for the color attribute

Accessor for the radius.

getArea() and getCircumference() methods, hat return the area and circumference of this Circle in double.

Hint: use Math.PI (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html#PI (Links to an external site.))

2. Rectangle:

Implement a Java class with the name Rectangle. It should be in the package edu.gcccd.csis.

The class has two private instance variables: width and height (of the type double)

The class also has a private static variable: numOfRectangles (of the type long) which at all times will keep track of the number of Rectangle objects that were instantiated.

Construction:

A constructor that constructs a Rectangle with the given width and height.

A default constructor.

Behaviors:

Accessor and Mutator aka Getter and Setter for both member variables.

getArea() and getCircumference() methods, that return the area and circumference of this Rectangle in double.

a boolean method isSquare(), that returns true is this Rectangle is a square.

Hint: read the first 10 pages of Chapter 5 in your text.

3. Container

Implement a Java class with the name Container. It should be in the package edu.gcccd.csis.

The class has two private instance variables: rectangle of type Rectangle and circle of type Circle.

Construction:

No explicit constructors.

Behaviors:

Accessor and Mutator aka Getter and Setter for both member variables.

an integer method size(), that returns 0, if all member variables are null, 1 either of the two member variables contains a value other than null, and 2, if both, the rectangle and circle contain values other than null.

Patient A - has been seen in clinic often. Does not have a job or income. Is on a state-funded medical insurance. Patient B - is a single parent who works two part time jobs to make ends meet. Neither job allows them to qualify for health insurance. Patient states they are concerned about the cost of their visit and the only reason they visited the clinic is because their boss sent them home because of their cough and they were told that they can not return to work without a doctor?s note. - Both patients present to the clinic with a cough, tightness in chest, difficulty breathing and a slight fever. As a healthcare provider you have determined that both patients are experiencing a bout of bronchitis, but there might be an underlying heart condition that has not been previously detected. You notice that there is only a slightly elevated blood pressure, but patient does have a high BMI that registers near obese levels. Both patients might also be pre-type II diabetic based on age and weight, but further testing would be needed to confirm. 1. Address the following questions in your post and response posts: A. Would both of these patients receive the same level of treatment? B. Would both patients receive the same testing? C. Do you think it is important to know the patient?s financial and insurance status prior to treatment and examination?
