Part A: Explain how Net Present Value (NPV) is used in evaluating capital budgeting proposals.

Part B: Imagine that you are given a $12,000 entrance scholarship to study at Brock University. Fortunately, over the years your parents have managed to save for your education through the purchase of an RESP. Therefore, you are able to invest the $12,000 for the next four years at an interest rate of 5%. How much money will you have after four years of investing the $12,000? In other words, what is the future value of $12, 000 invested over four years at a 5% interest rate? Be sure to show your calculations. In your response, be sure to incorporate properly the terms: Time Value of Money and Compounding. Lastly, using the Rule of 72, how many years will it take to double the initial investment?

Part C: Now that the IOC has made the decision to postpone the Tokyo Summer 2020 Olympics until next year, one of the sponsoring organizations finds itself with Olympic merchandise that needs to be liquidated. When you heard about this opportunity you became quite excited because you are an avid collector of Olympic merchandise. In fact, when you graduate from Brock University, you plan on opening an Olympic memorabilia shop. The offer from this Olympic sponsor is such that you have the option to purchase the merchandise entirely upfront for $10,500 or to pay $2,750 per year for the next four years (with payments at the beginning of the year). Assuming a discount rate of 7%, is it advisable to pay the cost of the merchandise entirely upfront? Explain. Be sure to show your calculations.

Complete the code that inserts elements into a list. The list should always be in an ordered state.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/* list of nodes, each with a single integer */
struct element {
struct element *next;
int value;
};

/* protypes for functions defined after main */
struct element *elementalloc(void);
struct element *listinitialize();
struct element *insertelement(struct element *, int);
void printlist(struct element *);

/* main
* Creates an ordered list
* Elements added to the list must be inserted maintaining the list
* in an ordered state
*/
int main() {
struct element *listhead = NULL;
listhead = listinitialize();
for (int i = 3; i < 100; i+=11){
listhead = insertnewelement(listhead, i);
}
printlist(listhead);
}

/* allocate memory for a new list element */
struct element *elementalloc(void) {
return (struct element *)malloc(sizeof(struct element));
}

/* simple list initialization function */
struct element *listinitialize() {
const int numbers[7] = {4, 9, 13, 18, 27, 49, 60};
struct element *newlist = NULL;
struct element *tail = NULL;
struct element *temp = NULL;
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
if (newlist == NULL) {
newlist = elementalloc();
newlist->next = NULL;
newlist->value = numbers[i];
tail = newlist;
} else {
temp = elementalloc();
temp->value = numbers[i];
temp->next = NULL;
tail->next = temp;
tail = tail->next;
}
}
return newlist;
}

/* function to insert elements into an ordered list */
struct element *insertnewelement(struct element *listhead, int x) {
struct element *newelement;
newelement = elementalloc();

struct element *iter = listhead;
while( ) {

}

return listhead;
}

/* print the list and the respective memory locations in list order */
void printlist(struct element *listhead)
{
while (listhead != NULL) {
printf("Memory: %p contains value: %d\n", listhead, listhead->value);
listhead = listhead->next;
}
}

Read the following specification and then answer the questions that follow. Specification:

A soccer league is made up of at least four soccer teams. Each soccer team is composed of seven(7) to eleven(11) players, and one player captains the team. A team has a name and a record of wins and losses. Players have a number and a position. Soccer teams play games against each other. Each game has a score and a location. Teams are sometimes lead by a coach. A coach has a level of accreditation and a number of years of experience, and can coach multiple teams. Coaches and players are people, and people have names and addresses.

Question: Carry out an initial object oriented design for the above specification.

You must identify and write down. Classes that you think will be required [5 marks]

Their attributes and behaviours [2 marks]

Any inheritance relationships you can identify [3 marks]

Any other relationships (aggregation or otherwise between the classes) [2 marks]

if the inflation rate in the UK is higher than the inflation rate in the US by 3% according to the relative PPP theory, what is your prediction of the British pound FX rate in one year if the current spot rate is 1.20/BP (calculate future spot rate in one year)

The questions in this assessment use the following.

      class R { ... }
      class A extends R { ... }

      // none of the classes implement a toString() method

[0] Draw a class hierarchy for the classes defined above.

[1] No or Yes:  class R extends Object

[2] class G extends C   does not compile. Why?

[3] class G extends E, F   does not compile. Why?

[4] B doh = new B();   does not compile. Why?

[5] System.out.println(new R());   prints: R@6bc7c054   Why?

[6] No or Yes:  class D can have subclasses (children).

[7] If  public String toString() { return "Arizona"; }  
    is added to class A, then System.out.println(new D()); 
    prints what?

[8] Assume the following is added to class C.

    public String toString() { 
       int azAgeIn2018 = 2018 - 1912;

How many ATP equivalents are produced from the oxidation of 3 acetyl-CoAs? Hint: There are 2.5 ATP produced when two electrons are transferred from NADH to oxygen by the electron transport chain, and 1.5 ATP are produced when two electrons are transferred from FADH2 to oxygen by the electron transport chain.

You have three plants that produce a certain type of boats. The capacity for next month is 38 in San Diego, 45 in Santa

Ana, and 58 in San Jose. Production cost per boat is $1,065 in San Diego, $1,005 in Santa Ana, and $975 in San Jose.

Demand for next month is 42 in Newport Beach, 33 in Long Beach, 14 in Ventura, 10 in San Luis Obispo, and 22 in San

Francisco. The shipping costs per boat are summarized in the following table:

Develop a production and shipping schedule that minimizes the total cost of production and shipping while satisfying all

the demand.

Write a Fortran program which simulates placing 100 molecules into the boxes of a 20 by 20 square grid. Each box can hold at most one molecule. Your program should count and report how many molecules in the final arrangement have no neighbors. Two molecules are considered neighbors if they are directly above or below or directly side by side (diagonals don't count). For instance, if molecules were placed at the locations labelled by letters in the following 5 by 5 grid:

       * * * * b
       a * d c *
       * * * * *
       * f * * e
       * * * * g

we would say that d and c are neighbors and e and g are neighbors, but b and c are not. In this example, the three molecules a, b, and f have no neighbors. Your program would report that 3 of the 7 molecules are isolated. Your program should perform the experiment of placing 100 molecules into an empty lattice and reporting the results five times. The results should be neatly displayed in some readable format. Your final output should not include the full picture of the lattice (although that might be useful during debugging).

This problem has many natural opportunities to use subroutines and functions. In particular, I would like your program to use a subroutine MOLPUT to place the molecules into the grid. An easy way to represent the grid is an integer array where 0 represents empty and 1 represents a molecule at that location. MOLPUT should take a single argument, which is a 20 by 20 integer array, and return with one additional molecule added to the array. This subroutine, therefore, needs to generate random subscripts until it finds an empty position in the array and then mark that a molecule has been placed there. To perform an experiment, you can then just clear the array, call MOLPUT 100 times, and then check the results.

How does Reagan's Speech against Communism reflect the changing values in the United States during the 1980s? How can you tell?

Hydrogen sulfide is removed from natural gas through a “sweetening process” as it is toxic and its combustion produces corrosive substances. A proposed process is given below:

2H₂S_(g) + SO_2(g) --> 3S(s) + 2H₂O_(g)

In a test process, a gas stream which contains 20.0% H₂S and 80.0% CH₄ was combined with a stream of pure SO₂ prior to entering the reactor. The process produced 5000 lb of solid S, and in the product gas, the ratio of SO₂ to H₂S was equal to 3.00, and the ratio of H₂O to H₂S was 10.0. Draw the diagram. Using the extent of reaction balance, determine the following:

a.) limiting reactant (LR)

b.) fractional conversion of the LR

c.) Feed rates of the two input streams
