Problem Solving Exercise #4 Instructions

Read the following descriptions of Quest Specialty Travel and its problem.

Company description: Quest Specialty Travel is a tour company in San Diego, California, that organizes adventure, cultural, and educational tours. Quest travelers enjoy activities ranging from hiking to hang-gliding while becoming familiar with the culture of the region—the food, the people, and the history.

Quest sponsors tours to five regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania (including Australia and New Zealand). Customers are usually traveling for pleasure, though Quest occasionally organizes business trips.

Problem: Typically, the late spring and summer months are the most popular times for personal travel. For the last five years, the top sales months have been April-August. This year, however, sales did not increase during these months. For the first time in five years, Quest annual sales are declining—they now expect to make less this year than last year.

Q1:

Assume the following scenario:
A small company needs to develop an information system for the Finance and Accounting Department. As an analyst which process model would you prefer and why?

ks) Write a program that prompts a person to enter a positive integer value. If the value

cannot be converted into an integer or if the value is less than 1, keep prompting the user to

enter a value until they enter a valid integer

value. Determine if the value is odd or even and

display the result on the screen. Pause the screen until the user presses a key to continue.(c programming begineers method

Mills Mining is considering an expansion project. The proposed project has the following features: • The project has an initial cost of $500,000--this is also the amount which can be depreciated using the three year MACRS depreciation schedule. • If the project is undertaken, at t = 0 the company will need to increase its inventories by $50,000, and its accounts payable will rise by $10,000. This net operating working capital will be recovered at the end of the project’s life (t = 4).

• If the project is undertaken, the company will realize an additional $600,000 in sales over each of the next four years (t = 1, 2, 3, 4). The company’s operating cost (not including depreciation) will equal $400,000 a year.

• The company’s tax rate is 40 percent. • At t = 4, the project’s economic life is complete, but it will have a salvage value of $50,000.

• The project’s WACC = 12 percent.

Write an interactive C++·program to have a user input their three initials and the length of three sides of a triangle. Allow the user to enter the sides in any order.

Determine if the entered sides form a valid triangle.The triangle may not have negative sides.The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side to form a triangle.

Determine if the entered sides are part of a scalene, isosceles, or equilateral triangle. Using the

Pythagorean Theorem, determine if the scalene triangle is also right triangle. (A^2+ B^2= C^2, where C is the hypotenuse.)Adequately check entered data for validity.

Use adequate test data to process all valid data and representative combinations of invalid data.Label output clearly.

Be sure your output printout contains user prompts and what was entered by the user in addition to the results of your program processing.

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 15% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors, and 10% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.3 and an alpha of 2.21%. The market has an expected return of 12% and the risk-free rate is 4 %. What is the alpha for the fad followers? Enter your answer as a percentage to two decimal places (i.e. 0.12% rather than 0.0012; the percent sign is not necessary).

You are considering moving your money to new bank offering a​ one-year GIC that pays an

5 %

APR with monthly compounding. Your current​ bank's manager offers to match the rate you have been offered. The account at your current bank would pay interest every six months. How much interest will you need to earn every six months to match the​ GIC?

First convert APR into a monthly discount​ rate:

The monthly discount rate is

A collection of financial assets and securities is referred to as a portfolio. Most individuals and institutions invest in a portfolio, making portfolio risk analysis an integral part of the field of finance. Just like stand-alone assets and securities, portfolios are also exposed to risk. Portfolio risk refers to the possibility that an investment portfolio will not generate the investor’s expected rate of return.

Analyzing portfolio risk and return involves the understanding of expected returns from a portfolio.

Consider the following case:

Andre is an amateur investor who holds a small portfolio consisting of only four stocks. The stock holdings in his portfolio are shown in the following table:

What is the expected return on Andre’s stock portfolio?

13.10%

9.70%

7.28%

14.55%

Suppose each stock in Andre’s portfolio has a correlation coefficient of 0.4 (ρ = 0.4) with each of the other stocks. If the weighted average of the risk of the individual securities (as measured by their standard deviations) included in the partially diversified four-stock portfolio is 36%, the portfolio’s standard deviation (σpσp) most likely is ---- 36%.

(1 point) Using a diagram/table, please illustrate how the personal record “John Cool, 45, 1980” will be stored in big- and little-endian byte ordering. The personal record includes a name (string), age (integer), and year (integer). The length of a byte is 8, and the length of a word is 32 for the computer.

Write a menu driven Java program which uses a method for each of the following operations:

(Note : The user should be allowed to repeat the operations as long as he wants to. Use appropriate number of parameters and return type for each method.)

A. to find the sum of the following series (up to N terms). The program should    display the terms:

             2² + 4² + 6²…

For example, if N=4, then the program should display the following terms:

                          2² + 4² + 6² + 8²

Sum of terms = 120

B. To accept a number and then check whether it is a prime number or a composite number. Your program should display an appropriate message. A prime number is one which is divisible by itself and 1.

Sample Outputs:

Enter a number : 5

It is a prime number.

Enter a number : 12

It is a composite number.

Using the financial calculator and the diagramming techniques, please answer the questions and include the diagrams Part A You wish to purchase a home and have been very successful in saving $12,000 for a down payment. You can get a 30 year mortgage at a fixed rate of 11.5%. The most you can afford is $630 / month for payment. What's the maximum you can pay for a house? Part B You plan to be married soon and your partner can contribute $250/month toward the monthly payment, but nothing toward the down payment. Now what price can you afford to pay? Part C You have learned of a special bank offer to first-time home buyers. Interest rates will be dropped to 9% for the life of the mortgage. Now, what can you afford to pay?
