MIRR unequal
lives.
Grady Enterprises is looking at two project opportunities for a parcel of land the company currently owns. The first project is a restaurant, and the second project is a sports facility. The projected cash flow of the restaurant is an initial cost of
$1 comma 410 comma 0001,410,000
with cash flows over the next six years of
$190 comma 000190,000
(year one),
$280 comma 000280,000
(year two),
$ 320 comma 000$320,000
(years three through five), and
$1 comma 730 comma 0001,730,000
(year six), at which point Grady plans to sell the restaurant. The sports facility has the following cash flows: an initial cost of
$2 comma 340 comma 0002,340,000
with cash flows over the next four years of
$440 comma 000440,000
(years one through three) and
$3 comma 060 comma 0003,060,000
(year four), at which point Grady plans to sell the facility. The appropriate discount rate for the restaurant is
9.09.0%
and the appropriate discount rate for the sports facility is
12.012.0%.
What are the MIRRs for the Grady Enterprises projects? What are the MIRRs when you adjust for the unequal lives? Do the MIRR adjusted for unequal lives change the decision based on the MIRRs? Hint: Take all cash flows to the same ending period as the longest project.
If the appropriate reinvestment rate for the restaurant is
9.09.0%,
what is the MIRR of the restaurant project?
round to two decimal places

In country A, the vast majority (90%) of companies in the chemical industry are ISO 14001 certified. The ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems. An environmental group wished to estimate the percentage of country B's chemical companies that are ISO 14001 certified. Of the 550 chemical companies sampled, 374 are certified.
a) What proportion of the sample reported being certified?
b) Create a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of country B's chemical companies with ISO 14001 certification. (Be sure to check conditions.) Compare to the country A proportion.

Creating a pipe in C language requires simple command which is a s follows.
SYSTEM CALL: pipe();
PROTOTYPE: int pipe( int fd[2] );
RETURNS: 0 on success
-1 on error: errno = EMFILE (no free descriptors)
EMFILE (system file table is full)
EFAULT (fd array is not valid)
NOTE: fd[0] is set up for reading, fd[1] is set up for writing
Design a simple C program using ordinary pipes in which a parent and child processes exchange greeting messages. For example, the parent process may send the message “Hello Child Process”, and the child process may return “Hi Parent Process”. Use UNIX pipes to write this program. You need to have bidirectional behavior in your program for which you will need two pipes.

The USA Today reports that the average expenditure on Valentine's Day is $100.89. Do male and female consumers differ in the amounts they spend? The average expenditure in a sample survey of 48 male consumers was $135.67, and the average expenditure in a sample survey of 38 female consumers was $68.64. Based on past surveys, the standard deviation for male consumers is assumed to be $38, and the standard deviation for female consumers is assumed to be $18.

I am trying to understand a few injection molding calculations. I will appreciate your assistance.
How do I calculate part weight for plastic injection molding?
Is it mass * density or volume * density?
My part is 29.126 grams and I am using Polypropylene (PP) which has a density of 0.899 g/cm3 .
Therefore : 29.126 * 0.899= 26.184 grams
To convert to ounce: 26.184* 1/28.3495=0.9236 ounce
Is the above correct?
How do I calculate shot weight? Please explain clearly and give and example.
How do I calculate core and cavity cost?
I will appreciate a clear and well written explanation because I want to understand how its done.
Thank you

1) Create a class called Employee that includes three instance variables — a first name (type String), a last name (type String) and a monthly salary (double). Provide a constructor that initializes the three instance variables. Provide a set and a get method for each instance variable. If the monthly salary is not positive, do not set its value.
2) Create an app named EmployeeLinkedList that stores a collection of Employee objects in a LinkedList<Employee>. Test the app by creating five Employee objects and adding the Employees to the LinkedList<Employee> , then re-access the LinkedList<Employee> to display each Employee object’s yearly salary. Then give each Employee a 10% raise and display each Employee’s yearly salary again.
Provide a working java code and also display the output. NEED IT ASAP

A couple of years ago my son showed an interest in astronomy and we bought a 6" reflector telescope. We use it pretty regularly and have enjoyed it immensely. Lately we've both been wishing we had something bigger to be able see more things and to see what we can see now with more detail.
How do you determine the size of telescope needed to view a certain object?
I understand that there are a lot of other factors that come into play when talking about what you can see and how well you can see it. Ideally I suppose what I'm looking for is some sort of chart/table that gives a general guideline of the scope size and some of the objects that should be viewable (with an average setup).
Are there any such resources?

“Dumping” is variously described as selling below fully allocated cost or selling below the home country price. The current administration has accused the Chinese of dumping steel products, for example. Why would a company in China want to do that?

our first constitution was the Articles of Confederation. the Federalists (pro new constitution) and Antifederalists (pro keeping the Articles of Confederation) debated whether to replace the Articles with the new Constitution. In fact, the Federalist won. But what if the Antifederalists prevailed in 1788 and the people voted not to adopt the new constitution.
What would be the characteristics of our country today if the Articles of Confederation had remained our constitution? Give details and examples. Be specific.

Write a C++ program where class 1 and class 2 (which is a base class) should have a derived class (class 4 and class 5). Each of the derived classes should include at least 1 variable, 2 functions (one will be showing the function overriding case, the second one will be showing the function overloading case), 2 constructors (with default values, with parameters).
Then class 3 (composition) (to relate class 1 and class 2) should include 3 variables (first variable is an object belongs to class 1, second variable is an object belongs to class 2,third variable is class 3 own variable), 3 functions.

Juno Corporation had ordinary taxable income of $167,000 in the current year before consideration of any of the following property transactions. It sold two blocks of stock held for investment. One yielded a short-term capital gain of $8,000 and the other a long-term capital loss of $14,000. In addition, Juno sold four pieces of machinery for $30,000. It purchased the machines three years ago for $80,000 and claimed $35,000 of depreciation deductions. Juno also sold a building for $400,000 that it had purchased fifteen years ago for $390,000. The depreciation deductions up to the date of sale for the building were $108,000.
Determine the amount and character of each gain or loss from the property transactions and Juno Corporation’s taxable income for the current year.
How would your answers to (a) change if Juno were a single individual with no dependents and $14,000 of itemized deductions instead of a corporation?
How would your answers to (b) change if Juno has $550,000 of ordinary taxable income?
