As a media buyer working on behalf of a large toy company, it is your job to buy media space for the launch of the KissKiss doll, which all advertising research shows will be a tremendous profit maker for the Cooper-Fitts Toy Company. Create a plan for a year’s advertising (Jan.-Dec.) for KissKiss. Explain your decisions about the types of media involved, when to use which types, and for how long each type should run. Make assumptions as needed.

You’re a physician in a practice group that became involved with PhyCor, Inc. Your group eliminated its entire management structure when PhyCor took over. Now, with PhyCor collapsing, you are being offered repurchase of your assets from PhyCor. What strategic planning steps do you propose to your group for going forward and selecting among options such as dissolving the group, purchasing the assets and finding another management firm, purchasing the assets and establishing in-house management, or other alternatives?

"Physician Practice Management Companies and PhyCor, Inc. Physician practice management (PPM) fi rms grew very rapidly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. PPMs promised to infuse physician practices with needed capital and provide signifi cant cost savings and increased revenues through economies of scale and improved management. They also promised to allow physicians to negotiate better contracts with the emerging HMOs and PPOs. However, by the end of the century, all of the major PPMs had gone out of business or signifi cantly downsized, with their valuations a tiny fraction of prior capitalization. Some, such as MedPartners, declared bankruptcy. Others saw their valuation plummet to almost nothing. What went wrong? This case examines the history of PPMs and the story of PhyCor, one of the prominent players.PPMs were created in response to the lack of retained earnings and marginal management that existed in many physician practices and the growth of HMOs and PPOs. As a result of increased managed care, physician organizations/medical groups experienced increased costs and lower net revenues. HMOs and PPOs also demanded large discounts from physicians. Capital was also needed to buy out senior partners, install information systems, and change their structures and governance. PPMs with signifi cant venture and Wall Street capital backing purchased prestigious medical groups, consolidated independent practices, and acquired staff clinics being divested by HMOs. Consolidation of PPMs left three large companies by the early 1990s.315Many of the physician practices signed 30- to 40-year management services contracts with the PPMs. These most often specifi ed that physicians would receive a split of revenues after payment of clinic expenses. The lower cost of capital, centralized purchasing, and greater bargaining leverage with insurer organizations were to lower costs and increase revenues.Phycor, Inc., incorporated in 1988, became by 1995 a medical network management company that managed multispecialty medical clinics and other physician organizations, provided contract management services to physician networks owned by health systems, and developed and managed independent practice associations (IPAs).1 The company also provided health care decision-support services, including demand management and disease management services, to managed care organizations, health care providers, employers, and other group associations."

Open two windows in Ubuntu, and list the content of the /dev/fd folder. Can you explain the difference observed from the two windows? The name /dev/fd is actually a symbolic link to /proc/self/fd. The name self is also a symbolic link pointing to a number, which is the process ID of the current process. Therefore, the number pointed to by self is different if viewing from different windows.

When 780g of benzene (molar mass = 78g/mol) reacts with 750ml of conc. HNO3 (16M) and 750ml of H2SO4 (18M), 1000g of nitrobenzene (molar mass =123g/mol) and 250g of an unknown compound with a high boiling point are obtained. a. Identify the limiting reagent

b. Calculate the percent yield of nitrobenzene

c. Give the name of the most probable side product with the high melting point

d. Explain with the aid of a mechanism the role of H2S04 in the reaction

e. Supposing the crystalline compound 250g has the formula C6H4N2O4, calculate the yield of the side product.

While acting is prevalent in real life, there are times when such role-playing is not acceptable. Discuss such instances. Is it possible to not play roles? How?

NPV unequal lives. Singing Fish Fine Foods has $2,000,000 for capital investments this year and is considering two potential projects for the funds. Project 1 is updating the​ store's deli section for additional food service. The estimated​ after-tax cash flow of this project is $600,00 per year for the next five years. Project 2 is updating the​ store's wine section. The estimated annual​ after-tax cash flow for this project is ​$530,000 for the next six years. If the appropriate discount rate for the deli expansion is 9.5% and the appropriate discount rate for the wine section is 9.0% use the NPV to determine which project Singing Fish should choose for the store. Adjust the NPV for unequal lives with the equivalent annual annuity. Does the decision​ change? If the appropriate discount rate for the deli expansion is 9.5​%, what is the NPV of the deli​ expansion? blank $ (Round to the nearest cent.).

1. Suppose the 1-year futures price on a stock-index portfolio is 1914; the stock-index is currently 1900; the 1-year risk-free interest rate is 3%; and the year-end dividend that will be paid on a $1,900 investment in the market index portfolio is $40.

1. By how much is the contract mispriced?
2. Formulate a zero-net-investment arbitrage portfolio and show that you can lock in riskless profits equal to the futures mispricing. Show your strategy in a table outlining the initial and terminal values of your strategy
3. Now assume (as is true for small investors) that if you short sell the stocks in the market index, the proceeds of the short sale are kept with the broker, and you do not receive any interest income on the funds. Is there still an arbitrage opportunity (assuming that you do not already own the shares in the index)? Explain and detail your answer in a table

d) Given the short-sale rules, what is the no-arbitrage bond for the stock-futures price relationship? That is, given a stock index of 1,900, how high and how low can the futures price be without giving rise to arbitrage opportunities?
