Dr. Paddock is a counseling psychologist who is interested in decreasing adjustment issues in first-year college students. She is curious if having students create collages of their first few weeks of school and then mailing them home will help students feel they have integrated their new life with their old and, as a result, will help them feel less homesick. She samples a group of 100 incoming college freshmen at her university and measures how homesick they are during the first week of school. During Week 4 of school, she has them make the collage and send it home. During Week 7 of school, she measures their homesickness again. She notices a significant reduction in the amount of homesickness from the pretest to the posttest and concludes that her treatment is effective. Imagine in Dr. Paddock’s study that only 90 of the original participants completed the measure of homesickness during Week 7 (10 participants had left the university and were unavailable). What kind of threat to internal validity does this pose? How does this affect her conclusion that her treatment for homesickness worked?

1. A quick history: When I was taking finance classes in the early 1990s, My finance professor, an intimidating guy from Rochester, NY, impressed upon us all that we'd have to be fools not to be earning 10% in the market. This was largely due to the times. Everyone made money in the early 90s. The way you measure your gains against everyone else is by using CAPM. Your text mentions some shortfalls of CAPM that have popped up over the years. If we assume the problems with CAPM were always there, how might the prevalent use of CAPM have led to irrational capital pricing decisions and how might that affect the value of a company?

3. What are the advantages/disadvantages of financing an expansion with debt rather than equity? Does this change if you are financing a replacement project?

QUESTION 1 A machine that caps soda bottles was purchased April 1, 2020 for $96,000; estimated useful life of 10 years and salvage value of $6,000. It is also estimated that the machine could cap a total of 360,000 bottles over its entire life. Calculate depreciation expense under the following independent assumptions: 1. Straight line depreciation, for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020. 2. Double declining balance depreciation for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020 and 2021. 3. Units of production depreciation for 2020 assuming 34,000 bottles were actually capped between April 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Record your answers and calculations below

Zoysia University must purchase mowers for its landscape department. The university can buy four EVF mowers that cost $7,600 each and have annual, year-end maintenance costs of $1,675 per mower. The EVF mowers will be replaced at the end of Year 4 and have no value at that time. Alternatively, Zoysia can buy six AEH mowers to accomplish the same work. The AEH mowers will be replaced after seven years. They each cost $6,600 and have annual, year-end maintenance costs of $1,875 per mower. Each AEH mower will have a resale value of $800 at the end of seven years. The university’s opportunity cost of funds for this type of investment is 9 percent. Because the university is a nonprofit institution, it does not pay taxes. It is anticipated that whichever manufacturer is chosen now will be the supplier of future mowers. What is the EAC of each type of mower? (Your answers should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
