Financial data for Windsor, Inc. for last year appear below:

C. Windor's CFO has heard about EVA and is curious about whether it might be a better measure to use for evaluating division managers. Windsor's long term debt trades at book value, with interest rate of 10% while its equity has a market value of $1,200,000. The company's cost of equity is 12%. Windsor's income tax rate is 40%. Calculate each of the following components of EVA for the company, as well as the final EVA figure:

a. Weighted average cost of capital

b. Investment, as measured for EVA calculations

Two capacitors, C₁ = 15.0 µF and C₂ = 44.0 µF, are connected in series, and a 18.0-V battery is connected across them.

(a) Find the equivalent capacitance, and the energy contained in this equivalent capacitor.

equivalent capacitance ________uF

total energy stored ________J

(b) Find the energy stored in each individual capacitor.

energy stored in C1 ______J

energy stored in C2 ______J

Show that the sum of these two energies is the same as the energy found in part (a). Will this equality always be true, or does it depend on the number of capacitors and their capacitances?

(c) If the same capacitors were connected in parallel, what potential difference would be required across them so that the combination stores the same energy as in part (a)?

Chapter 9, Page 171, Case 4

Linda and John, aged 17 and 18, respectively, entered into a partnership agreement to carry on business as a local parcel-delivery service. The business was to be operated under the name “L & J Parcel Delivery.” In order to conduct the business, the two partners purchased a small truck on credit from a local truck dealer. The purchase agreement for the truck was signed “L & J Parcel Delivery” by John, who negotiated the purchase. Linda purchased a motorcycle on credit from a local dealer for the twofold purpose of (1) delivering parcels, and (2) transportation to and from her home to the place of business of L & J Parcel Delivery, a distance of some eight kilometres. She had informed the seller that the motorcycle would be used by L & J Parcel Delivery and for personal transportation, but signed the purchase agreement in her own name only. A few days before Linda’s 18th birthday, John and Linda decided to cease their business operations. A substantial part of the purchase price remained owing to the sellers of both the truck and the motorcycle, and, with the intention of avoiding liability on the two purchase agreements, Linda repudiated the contracts and the partnership agreement. Over the next few months, John and Linda retained possession of the truck and motorcycle, while they argued between themselves and with the two sellers as to responsibility for the payment of the balance of the purchase price on each vehicle. Finally, after three months of fruitless discussion and argument, the sellers each brought an action against John and Linda for payment of the debts. Discuss the rights of the parties and the issues that might be raised in the case. Render a decision.

An airline analyzed whether telephone callers to their reservations office would remain on hold longer if they heard (a) an advertisement from the airline or (b) classical music. For 10 callers randomly assigned to these two conditions, the table shows the data.

Question 5:

Choose the correct alternate hypothesis for this test.

a. Ha: The distributions for classical music and advertisements are shifted from each other.

b. Ha: The distribution for classical music is shifted to the left of the distribution for advertisements.

c. Ha: The distribution for classical music is shifted to the right of the distribution for advertisements.

d. Ha: The distributions for classical music and advertisements are the same.

Question 6:

Provide the correct test statistic. Round answer to two decimal places.

Question 7:

Choose the correct p-value.

a. <0.0001

b. 0.0475

c. 0.0029

d. 0.0225

Question 8:

What conclusions can be drawn from this hypothesis test? α = 0.05

a. Fail to reject Ho. Conclude that there is insufficient evidence to claim that the two distributions are not identical.

b. Reject Ho. Conclude that there is sufficient evidence to claim that the distributions are shifted from each other.

c. Reject Ho. Conclude that there is sufficient evidence to claim that the distributions are not identical, and that people wait longer on the phone while listening to airline advertisements rather than classical music.

d. Reject Ho. Conclude that there is sufficient evidence to claim that the distributions are not identical, and that people wait longer on the phone while listening to classical music rather than airline advertisements.

Need a simple explanation as to how gyroscope precession occur in a  spinning wheel which is held up by one end of its axle.

Please completely answer the below Biostatistic question.

Hurricanes Rita and Katrina caused flooding of large parts of New Orleans, leaving behind large amounts of new sediment. Before the hurricanes, the soils of New Oleans were known to have high concentrations of lead, a dangerous toxin capable of creating potential health hazard. Zaharan et al. (2010) were interested in the human health impacts of the flood and so measured lead concentrations of blood (in ug/dl) of children who lived in 46 different affected areas both before and after the floods. Complete the responses for the following R outputs.

t = -8.031, df = 45, p-value = 3.107e-10

alternative hypothesis: truedifference in means is not equal to 0

95% confidence interval: -2.411851 -1.444671

sample estimates: mean of the differences = -1.928261

a.) Name the sampling unit and sample size

b.) Name the variable(s) and associated scale(s)

c.) Name the design (one-sample t-test, two-sample t-test, paired t-test)

d.) Is this an appropriate design, given the narrative above? Why or why not?

e.) Name the population parameter of interest, using specific descriptors from the narrative (hint: write what are we estimating in specific terms)

f.) Use the output to write the null hypothesis for the associated t-test (be sure to state it in terms of the population parameter of interest)

g.) Use the confidence interval from the output to write a statement about the set of plausible values for the parameter estimate, and to evaluate the plausibility of the null hypothesis.

h.) Use the null hypothesis to write a statement interpreting the p-value from the output. (Do not use more or less than 0.05.as reasoning)

What is the enhanced ER Model? Explain extended ER features: Specialization, Generalization, and Aggregation with your clear definitions/ideas/differences in your own words and give at least one appropriate example for each one of them?

In this simulation, you continue in your role of Senior Vice President for Marketing at Enhanced Analytics, Inc., a provider of marketing and consulting services, with headquarters in Austin, Texas. In this role, you report directly to the CEO of the company and are responsible for decision-making and marketing strategy. You oversee a department with 25 employees at the company.
The company's board of directors thinks that a reorganization of the company will improve decision-making and profitability. You have just found out that the board has been in discussions with the company's CEO regarding the appropriate funding level and structure of each department. The activities of each department and office will be reviewed within the next 60 days. A prominent member of the board thinks that funding for the marketing department - your department - should be reduced significantly. In his opinion, primary emphasis and the most funding should go to the management and finance areas.
You disagree. While most funding in your department is used to plan and create specific marketing campaigns, some of the money is spent on training and on keeping your staff up to date on the latest technologies and trends in marketing management. You think both activities are essential and a reduction in funding will be detrimental to the long-term success of the department. A reduction in funding will also result in a need to lay off staff.
In your role as head of the department, you are given an opportunity to present your views. There is an apparent lack of appreciation for marketing among some of the folks who make up the reorganization committee. The CEO of the company admitted as much at breakfast, this morning, when she has asked you to prepare a persuasive presentation to convince the reorganization committee of the importance of marketing within the organization.
Along with your in-person presentation at the committee's next meeting, your task is to prepare a written report for the committee members.
Prepare a written report for the members of the reorganization committee, containing the following sections:
1. Marketing Management - introduce the concept of marketing, its importance and application

2. Case Study - introduce and describe an example of a company (choose a well-known company that your audience can easily recognize and relate to) and illustrate how marketing is an essential function within the organization. You may use sources such as the company's annual report, scholarly articles found using Google Scholar and articles from business periodicals, such as the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and BusinessWeek. Since this is a persuasive report, make sure to use specific data and facts that are both truthful and convincing.

3. Lifelong Learning - explain the importance of continuous learning and of staying up to date in the field of marketing.

4. Conclusion - sum up your key points and ask the committee to maintain or increase the funding for your department.
Include outside research to support your ideas and your conclusion. There is no page limit to this assignment. The assignment will be considered well-done if it contains all the required sections, if it is clearly written and your thoughts and ideas are supported by specific data and research.
