Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $6.0 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight - line over 6 years to a value of zero, but, in fact, it can be sold after 6 years for $511,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 10% of next year’s forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $1.80 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $7 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm’s tax bracket is 35%, and the required rate of return on the project is 8%.

Suppose the firm can cut its requirements for working capital in half by using better inventory control systems. By how much will this increase project NPV? (Enter your answer in millions rounded to 4 decimal places.)

Johnny’s Lunches is considering purchasing a new, energy-efficient grill. The grill will cost $38,000 and will be depreciated according to the 3-year MACRS schedule. It will be sold for scrap metal after 3 years for $9,500. The grill will have no effect on revenues but will save Johnny’s $19,000 in energy expenses per year. The tax rate is 30%. Use the MACRS depreciation schedule.

a. What are the operating cash flows in each year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

b. What are the total cash flows in each year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

c. Assuming the discount rate is 12%, calculate the net present value (NPV) of the cash flow stream. Should the grill be purchased? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

“Several versions of the FFQ exist, but they all use a similar technique: Ask people how often they eat particular foods and what serving size they usually consume. But it’s not always easy to remember everything you ate, even what you ate yesterday. People are prone to underreport what they consume, and they may not fess up to eating certain foods or may miscalculate their serving sizes.”

“When I tried keeping a seven-day food diary, I discovered … it’s surprisingly difficult to capture a record that reflects normal eating patterns when you collect only a few days’ worth of data. It so happened that I was traveling to a conference during my diary week, so I ate packaged snacks and restaurant meals far different from the foods I usually eat from my garden at home. My diary showed that before dinner one day, I’d eaten only a doughnut and two snack packs of potato chips. And what did I have for dinner? I can tell you that it was a delicious Indonesian seafood curry, but I couldn’t possibly begin to list all its ingredients.”

When asked to report their behavior, people may not have access to the information (forget or never knew it) or they may deliberately lie. Fill in the following blanks with either 'no access' or 'lie'

          1) “it’s not always easy to remember everything you ate”

                 A) no access

                 B) lie

           2) “People are prone to underreport what they consume”

                 A) no access

                 B) lie

         3) “they may not fess up to eating certain foods”

                 A) no access

                 B) lie

   4) "may miscalculate their serving sizes."

                 A) no access

                 B) lie

           5) “I can tell you that it was a delicious Indonesian seafood curry, but I couldn’t possibly begin to list all its ingredients.”

                 A) no access

                 B) lie

Prove the second-order formula for the third derivative

Write a class named Palindrome.java and Write a method isPalindrome that takes an IntQueue as a parameter and that returns whether or not the numbers in the queue represent a palindrome (true if they do, false otherwise). A sequence of numbers is considered a palindrome if it is the same in reverse order. For example, suppose a Queue called q stores this sequence of values:

front [3, 8, 17, 9, 17, 8, 3] back

Then the following call:

isPalindrome(q) should return true because this sequence is the same in reverse order. If the list had instead stored these values:

front [3, 8, 17, 9, 4, 17, 8, 3] back

the call on isPalindrome would instead return false because this sequence is not the same in reverse order (the 9 and 4 in the middle don't match).

The empty queue should be considered a palindrome. You may not make any assumptions about how many elements are in the queue and your method must restore the queue so that it stores the same sequence of values after the call as it did before. The method header is specified as follows:

public static boolean isPalindrome(IntQueue q)

public class IntQueue{
Integer[] arr;
int numOfElements=0;
int front=0;
int rear=-1;

public IntQueue(int cap);

public void enqueue(Integer data);
public Integer dequeue();

public boolean isFull();

public boolean isEmpty();
}

methods document:

public class IntStack{
Integer[] arr;
int index=0;

public IntStack(int cap);

public void push(Integer data);
public Integer pop();
public Integer top();
public boolean isFull();

public boolean isEmpty();

}

are the available methods, and we do not have size() or length() which is how i have done these types of problems before.
