c. A required rate of return of 14 percent

d. A required rate of return of 17 percent

• In this script, write MATLAB code to create an array A of size 100 × 3. The first column should contain random numbers between 0 and 10. The second column should also contain random numbers between 0 and 10. The third column should contain random integers between 20 and 50. The first two columns represent the x and y coordinates of a map, respectively. The third column represents the height of buildings. For example, if the first row of A is equal to [3.4 4.5 28], this means that there is a building of height 28 at location (3.4, 4.5) in the map. Because array A has 100 rows, there will be 100 buildings located at random points in the map. • Then, save array A in a file using the MATLAB function save. You may select the name of the file yourselves. • Then, plot the first column of array A vs the second column of array A, using ‘*’ (i.e., the points will be plotted as stars) so that you can see the 100 locations of the buildings. • Finally, after you save the array, clear all variables by placing a clear all at the end of the MATLAB script. • In this script, write MATLAB code to first read the file that you saved in Part A. To read the file, use the MATLAB function load. After you read the file, array A should again become available to you. • Then, write code to move the data from array A to a cell array C of size 10 × 10 in the following way: ◦ The element C{1,1} in C should be an array containing all building heights with x coordinates between 0 and 1 AND y coordinates between 0 and 1. ◦ The element C{2,1} in C should be an array containing all building heights with x coordinates between 1 and 2 AND y coordinates between 0 and 1. ◦ The element C{1,2} in C should be an array containing all building heights with x coordinates between 0 and 1 AND y coordinates between 1 and 2. ◦ The element C{2,2} in C should be an array containing all building heights with x coordinates between 1 and 2 AND y coordinates between 1 and 2. ◦ The element C{3,2} in C should be an array containing all building heights with x coordinates between 2 and 3 AND y coordinates between 1 and 2.

A gas turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 8. Air enters the compressor with 37 degrees Celsius and 100 kPa pressure. The highest temperature of the cycle is 900K. The compressor and turbine are isentropic and their efficiency is 90% and 80% respectively. The properties of air will be assumed to be constant as Cv = 0.718 kj/kgK, Cp = 1.005 kj/kgK and R = 0.287 kj/kg, k = 1.4. Since the flow rate of the air entering the cycle is 1000kg / h, what is the net power of the cycle?

A-) 8
B-) 83
C-) 140
D-) 43

1. Argo Oil & Gas Company was loading a tanker with fuel oil when the loading hose snapped for an unknown reason and about 2,000 gallons of fuel oil poured into the Pacific Ocean. Argo was sued for this water pollution. Argo raised the defense that it had exercised the outmost due care, was not at fault in any way, and had not intended to pollute the ocean. What laws could be used to prosecute Argo? What are the potential penalties and overall outcome of the lawsuit?  

(Payback ​period, NPV,​ PI, and IRR calculations​) You are considering a project with an initial cash outlay of ​$85,000 and expected free cash flows of ​$25,000 at the end of each year for 6 years.

eBook A project has annual cash flows of $3,000 for the next 10 years and then $11,000 each year for the following 10 years. The IRR of this 20-year project is 11%. If the firm's WACC is 9%, what is the project's NPV? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Using Java, write code as follows:

1. Create an interface called Items. It should define at least the following methods:
   1. public void add( Object item ) - adds a single object to the collection.
   2. public Object get( int index ) - returns an item at a specific index.
   3. public int size() - returns the number of items stored in the collection.
   4. public void addAll( Object[] items ) - adds all of the elements in the array to the collection.
2. Write a class called AbstractItems that implements the Items interface. It should provide concrete implementations of at least the following methods:
   1. public void addAll( Object[] items ) - This should simply loop and call the add method for each item in the array.
   2. public String toString() - returns a string that lists all of the items on a single line. For example, if the collection contained the strings “abc”,“123”, and “cat” the toString method should return something like “abc 123 cat”. This method should use a loop and call the get method.
3. Create a class called ArrayOfItems that extends AbstractItems.
   1. Create a constructor that takes an integer parameter called size and use it to create an Object array of that size to hold your items.
   2. Use the array to implement the remaining abstract methods inherited from the Items class: add, size, and get. Note that size should return the number of items that have been added to the array, not the size of the array. In other words, if your initial array is large enough to hold 10 items, but only 2 items have been added, your size method should return 2, not 10. Once the array is full, the add method should ignore additional values.
4. You should include a main method to test the addAll and toString methods as well as the add, get, and size methods.
5. Create a class called Node. A Node has two instance variables.
   1. An Object named item.
   2. A reference to another Node called next.

Create the appropriate accessors and mutators for both variables.

5. Create a class called ListOfItems that extends AbstractItems. This new class will us the Node created previously. The class will need three instance variables:
   1. A Node called head.
   2. A Node called tail.
   3. An int called size.

When a ListOfItems is created, create a new Node and set both the head and the tail to refer to it. The first time that the “add” method is called, add the Object to the head node and increment size from 0 to 1 Each time add is called after that, follow this algorithm:

1. Create a new Node.
2. Add the Object to the new Node. using the setItem method.
3. Use the setNext mutator on the current tail to point to the new Node.
4. Change the tail to point to the new Node.
5. Increment size.

Also provide an implementation for the get method. This will require you to start at the head and use the getNext method to count the appropriate number of nodes in the list before returning the item at the specified index using its getItem method.

9. Create a class called ItemsTest with two methods:
   1. public static void testItems(Items items) - this method should thoroughly test all methods of the Items interface (add, addAll, get, size, toString). The Items instance should be printed to standard output (using its toString method) each time the contents are changed.
10. public static void main(String[] args) - Your main method should create at least one instance of each of the implementation classes and call the testItems method. You must show that your ArrayOfItems ignores values after the array is full.

A loan of $12,000 is being repaid with payments of $1,500 at the end of each year for 10 years. These payments can earn interest at an effective rate of 6% per annum. At the end of the year, this interest is reinvested at the annual effective rate 5% for the first 6 years and only 4% for the second 4 years. Find the yield rate over the 10-year period.
