FINANCIAL LEVERAGE EFFECTS The Neal Company wants to estimate next year's return on equity (ROE) under different financial leverage ratios. Neal's total capital is $20 million, it currently uses only common equity, it has no future plans to use preferred stock in its capital structure, and its federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. The CFO has estimated next year's EBIT for three possible states of the world: $4.2 million with a 0.2 probability, $3.1 million with a 0.5 probability, and $0.7 million with a 0.3 probability. Calculate Neal's expected ROE, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for each of the following debt-to-capital ratios. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places at the end of the calculations. Debt/Capital ratio is 0. RÔE = % σ = % CV = Debt/Capital ratio is 10%, interest rate is 9%. RÔE = % σ = % CV = Debt/Capital ratio is 50%, interest rate is 11%. RÔE = % σ = % CV = Debt/Capital ratio is 60%, interest rate is 14%. RÔE = % σ = % CV =

The table below lists the prices and quantities consumed of three different goods from 2017−2019.

a. For 2017, 2018, and 2019, determine the amount that a typical consumer pays each year to purchase the quantities listed in the table above.

Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places.

b. The percentage change in the amount the consumer paid is 8.88% from 2017 to 2018, and 73.46% from 2018 to 2019.

Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places.

d. Suppose we take 2017 as the base year, implying that the market basket is fixed at 2017 consumption levels. Using 2017 consumption levels, the rate of inflation was ? % from 2017 to 2018, and ? % from 2018 to 2019.

Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places.

e. Repeat the exercise from part d, now assuming that the base year is 2018. Using 2018 consumption levels, the rate of inflation is ? % from 2017 to 2018, and ? % from 2018 to 2019.

f. Your answers from parts d and e were different because : the base years put different weights on the goods prices have changed or the base years have the same consumption quantities or income has changed.

In lecture 2 of week 1, healthcare was proclaimed to be the most complex industry. Discuss this claim and whether you agree or disagree. Support your position with appropriate references

3. (Even or Odd) Write method IsEven that uses the remainder operator (%) to determine whether an integer is even. The method should take an integer argument and return true if the integer is even and false otherwise. Incorporate this method into an application that inputs a sequence of integers (one at time) and determines whether each is even or odd. (C# please)

- Refer to the Par Insights, Inc. example in your textbook. A competitor firm DLS Apps, Inc. decides to enter the market for apps made for teenagers and children. Their Production Supervisor analyzed each of the operations and concluded that if the company produces apps for children, each app would require 8 hours in the theme creation department, 12 hours in the graphics and imaging department, 4 hours in the educational content department, 6 hours in the coding department, and 5 hours in the testing and launching department. On the other hand, each app for teenagers would require 4 hours in the theme creation department, 15 hours in the graphics and imaging department, 15 hours in the educational content department, 10 hours in the coding department, and 2 hours in the testing and launching department. After studying the departmental workload projections, the Production Supervisor estimates that 100 hours for theme creation, 250 hours for graphics and imaging, 200 hours for the educational content creation, 150 hours of coding and 50 hours for the testing and launching are available for the production of the new apps during the next four months. The accounting department analyzed the costs based on the production data and overheads and arrived at prices for the apps that will result in a profit contribution of $10,000 per children’s app and $15,000 per teenager app produced. The CEO asserts that to be successful in the long run, at least 5 children’s apps must be launched in the next four months. The management is trying to identify how many apps of each type should they launch in the next four months and have hired you to help them figure out what the optimal solution would be and what the expected profits would be.

1. Write out the Linear Program (equations)

2. Provide the optimal solution, either graphically or by using Excel Solver. What is the total expected profit? How many apps of each type would you recommend that they make?

3. Identify which constraints are binding.

4. Which department has the highest slack? How much?

5. If the company was able to obtain 5 more hours in the coding department, would the profit change? Explain why or why not.

Fred and Barney are fishermen who operate fishing ships out of Nantucket. They own similar ships that can each

carry a day’s catch of 800 pounds of cod. Marginal costs of fishing are constant at $4 per pound (for simplicity,

assume they have no fixed -- or sunk -- costs). For the current discussion, assume that Fred and Barney are the only

fishermen and that the aggregate demand for Nantucket cod is characterized by the demand function Q = 1600 -

100P, where P is the price per pound of cod and Q is in pounds of cod. This corresponds to an inverse demand

function of P = 16 - .01Q, where Q = qF+ qB. Finally, the fish market operates in the following manner: fishermen go

out in the morning and catch fish, then they return to the dock and drop the catch on the dock. Customers gather

around and a market-clearing price is announced, at which point sales commence.

(f) If Barney expects Fred to catch qF, what is Barney’s best response function BRB(qF)?

(g) Using the fact that each fisherman’s equilibrium catch is a best response to the other’s, solve for the equilibrium

catch sizes qBCN and qFCN

(h) What will be the resulting price?

(i) Show that each fisherman’s Cournot duopoly profits will be $1600.
