Proposed project:
Alchemy Mines is considering an investment in the rights to a
platinum mine.
Initial investment
The owner of the mine will sell the rights to Alchemy Mines at a
cost of $1,000,000
payable immediately. Purchase of the rights entitles Alchemy Mines
to all mining rights
provided mining commences within one year and continues without
interruption until the
entire deposit is recovered and the land restored in compliance
with regulatory
requirements. If mining does not commence in one year, the title to
the mine reverts to
the seller.
Expected operating variables
The firm has made the following assumptions regarding operating
cash flows for the
mine:
Recoverable platinum: 100,000 ounces
Current market price of platinum: $889.60 per ounce
Expected price of platinum in one year: $904.00 per ounce
Expected fixed costs of mining and refining: $750,000
Expected variable costs of mining and refining: $873.50 per
ounce
Cost to restore the land and remediate environmental damage:
$525,000
No taxes are paid on profits from the project
If the firm mines the platinum, all cash in- and out-flows from
mining and selling the
platinum and for remediation will occur in one year.
Additional Information:
The firm estimates additional economic variables as follows:
Risk free interest rate equals 2.5%
Expected market return: 11.50%
Beta for platinum mining and smelting: 0.662
Standard deviation of annual returns on platinum prices:
0.1995
1. Use net present value analysis to determine whether the firm
should accept the
proposed Alchemy Mines project.
a. Determine the amount and timing of all expected cash flows for
the proposed
project.
b. Determine the appropriate discount rate (using CAPM).
c. Calculate NPV.
d. Indicate whether Alchemy Mines should accept the project
based on it NPV
and explain.
2. Use option pricing analysis to determine whether Alchemy Mines
should accept
the proposed platinum mine project.
a. Determine whether the project cash flows have the
characteristics of a put
option or a call option.
b. Find the implicit “strike price,” that is, the expected spot
platinum price at
which the firm will elect to commence mining and processing rather
than just
walk away from the project. (Remember that for an option, the
option premium is
a sunk cost and does not affect the decision to exercise.)
c. Calculate the option value of the mine using the Black-Scholes
options pricing
model.
Note: You can calculate the option value for a single ounce of
platinum
using per ounce price and costs, then multiply that by the total
amount of
platinum to get the total option value of the mine. Alternatively,
you can
calculate the option value using the total price of platinum and
the total
costs.
d. Compare the option value of the mine to the cost to acquire
rights to the mine
to determine whether to accept the project.
e. Indicate whether Alchemy Mines should accept the project and
explain.

1)The readings demonstrate some of the conflicting ethics
between the legal system and science. For instance, the legal
system is founded upon an adversarial model (here in the U.S.
anyway –other countries use different models). In our adversarial
legal system, and attorneys are ethically obligated to advocate for
their client and tell the best story possible for their “side” out
of the evidence available. In contrast, science is founded on
objectivity – not advocacy – and thus data is supposed to speak for
itself rather than be shaped to tell a good story. Why are these
competing ethical foundations between the legal system and science
important for understanding the challenge of practicing forensic
psychology?
2)When a psychologist accepts a referral to do a forensic
evaluation, who is the “client?” Discuss how and why this is a
complicated question.
3)Can a forensic psychologist wear “2 hats” – that is, can they
serve in multiple roles in a case? For instance, in a child custody
evaluation case, can a psychologist who provides treatment to the
family then become the forensic psychologist hired in the case to
conduct a child custody evaluation to help the court determine
custody arrangements? Why or why not?

Objective:
The objective of this assignment is to allow students to understand the basic principles of arrays
Program Requirements:
The assignment will require the students use arrays to perform mathematical calculations.
Program Setup: Functions to include in the program
The program will have three functions
Function 1: Responsible for setting values in the arrays
Function 2: Responsible for printing values in arrays
Function 3: Responsible for doing calculations to arrays
Function 1 Details: Setting array values
Parameters: 3
Array of integers
Int value representing the size of array
String value representing the “array type”
Return Type: None
This function will be responsible for filling in the values of the array
The function will in the array using the following steps
Step 1: Checking the value of the array type (3rd parameter)
The array type will determine how we are going to fill in the arrays
The array type is going to be checked for the following
Value 1
Value 2
Step 1 Part A: Filling in the array for “value 1”
The program will ask the user to enter an integer value
The integer value will be stored in the array
The user will have to keep entering values until the entire array is filled (using the size of the array)
Step 1 Part B: Filling in the array for “value 2”
The program will randomly select a number between 1 and 200
The random number will be stored in the array
The program will store a random number until the entire array is filled (using the size of the array)

Function 3 Details: Performing mathematical calculations on the arrays
Parameters: 5
Array of integers for value 1
Array of integers for value 2
Array of integers for the sum
Int value representing the size of array
String value representing the math operation
Return Type: None
This function will be responsible for performing the mathematical calculations on the two arrays
Step 1: Checking the value of the math operation (5th parameter)
The math operation will determine what mathematical calculation will be done on the two arrays
The math operation will be one of the following choices
Add
Sub
Mul
Div
Step 2: Perform the selected mathematical calculation
The function is then going to perform the mathematical on the two arrays
For Example, lets say “Add” was selected
The function will then go through every element in both arrays and add them together
The results will be stored in the sum array
Array1[i] + array2[i] = sum[i]
The program will then print the results to the screen in the following format
Array1[i] <mathematical operator> array2[i] = sumArray[i]
Flow of the program
Now that the functions have been defined, we are now going to describe how the program is going to flow from the main

Write a class "car" with data fields "make" and "speed." The constructor should accept the "make" parameter. Be sure to use the "this" reference when setting the "make" parameter. The class should contain a static field for defaultSpeed set to 50. The class "car" should have a method "speed." The method should return the defaultSpeed. There should be an overloaded method for speed that takes a speed parameter. Finally, this class should take a getSpeed method that returns the speed. Create a class TestCar that instantiates a car and prints the default speed as well as a modified speed.
