Given

A venture capital company plans to invest in one of two start-up engineering firms. Investments like this are risky by nature, but the company thinks the risk is about the same for both firms. So, the company will pick the firm that would produce the largest rate of return on their investment.

With either start-up firm, the company would invest $2 million in capital (today). The first engineering firm would agree to repay the company with a single lump sum of $8 million after three years. The second engineering firm would agree to repay the company with a series of monthly payments; after a one year period with no payments, the company would receive $150,000 at the end of each month during the second year, and $250,000 at the each of each month during the third year.

Find

  1. Draw a cash-flow diagram of the first start-up firm investment.

  1. Determine the monthly and annual rate of return (in %) for the first start-up firm investment.

  1. Draw a cash-flow diagram of the second start-up firm investment.

  1. Determine the monthly and annual rate of return (in %) for the second start-up firm investment.

  1. Determine which investment is better for the venture capital company and why.

Jason Smith is a 48-year-old man who has been admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of acute inferior myocardial infarction. He says to the nurse, "I can't believe I had a heart attack. Those are for old people! I still feel young, but I guess I have to slow down." The nurse, using reflection, asks Mr. Smith, "Do you feel that you can no longer lead an active life because you have had a heart attack?" The nurse's statement will encourage Mr. Smith to continue sharing thoughts and explain why he believes this to be true. This will allow the nurse to correct any misunderstanding that he has about the recovery process after an MI.

1. Nutrient loss in food products is an important issue for food processing companies. We

would like to determine whether or not bread loses its vitamin C content over time.

a. Go to the Excel spreadsheet “Vitamin C in bread” that is posted with this assignment and

download it. There you will find results of an experiment conducted by a baking company.

The data show vitamin C content of 20 loaves of bread. Five of the loaves had vitamin C

measured the day of baking (day 0). Another five had vitamin C measured one day after

baking (day 1), and so forth for days 3 and 5.

b. Click Tools > Data Analysis and select the appropriate procedure for doing an analysis of

variance. I want to see a printout of the results obtained by using the Data Analysis Tool.

c. Interpret the results. Are there differences among the days in terms of vitamin C content?

What in the output tells you this?

2. Go the Excel spreadsheet “Trends in Vitamin C in bread” that is posted with this

assignment. There you will find the same data as in problem 1 but in a format that will allow

you to get a scatterplot and trendline.

a. Obtain the scatterplot and trendline (include the equation). I want to see a printout of this

analysis.

b. Use the equation in 2a to predict vitamin C content when day = 2. Include the answer on

your spreadsheet.
