Question:

The function predictAnswer should be made based on the following. Your answer must be able to run in LESS than quadratic time. Either NLogN or linear time is expected.

In the prediction game, the first player gives the second player some stock market data for some consecutive days. The data contains a company's stock price on each day. The rules for the game are:

  1. Player 1 will tell player 2 a day number
  2. Player 2 has to find the nearest day on which stock price is smaller than the given day
  3. If there are two results, then player 2 finds the day number which is smaller
  4. If no such day exits, then the answer is -1.

Example 1

stockData size n =10;

stockData = [5,6,8,4,9,10,8,3,6,4]

queries = [6,5,4]

Result is [5,4,8]

On day 6, the stock price is 10. Both 9 and 8 are lower prices one day away. Choose 9 (day 5) because it is before day 6. On day 5, the stock price is 9. 4 is the closest lower price on day 4. On day 4, the stock price is 4. The only lower price is on day 8. The return array is [5,4,8]

Example - 2

stockData size n = 10

stockData = [5,6,8,4,9,10,8,3,6,4]

queries = [3,1,8]

Result is [2,4,-1]

If the day number is 3.both days 2 and 4 are smaller.choose the earlier day,day 2.

If the day number is 1,day 4 is the closet day with a smaller price.

If the day number is 8,there is no day where the price is less than 3.

The return array is [2,4,-1]

Wisconsin shares had a fair value of $40 per share. Prior to the combination, the financial statements for Wisconsin and Badger for the six-month period ending June 30, 2017, were as follows:

Wisconsin Badger
Revenues $ (1,001,000) $ (362,000)
Expenses 690,000 247,000
Net income $ (311,000) $ (115,000)

Dividends declared 111,750 0
Retained earnings, 6/30 $ (1,068,250) $ (319,000)
Cash $ 92,250 $ 114,000
Receivables and inventory 482,000 183,000
Patented technology (net) 935,000 293,000
Equipment (net) 713,000 695,000
Total assets $ 2,222,250 $ 1,285,000

Retained earnings (1,068,250) (319,000)
Total liabilities and equities $ (2,222,250) $ (1,285,000)


Wisconsin also paid $37,000 to a broker for arranging the transaction. In addition, Wisconsin paid $46,600 in stock issuance costs. Badger’s equipment was actually worth $811,250, but its patented technology was valued at only $269,600.

Problem 12-22 Accept or Reject a Special Order [LO12-4]

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 38,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:

  

Unit Total
  Direct materials $ 15 $ 570,000
  Direct labor 6 228,000
  Variable manufacturing overhead 3 114,000
  Fixed manufacturing overhead 7 266,000
  Variable selling expense 2 76,000
  Fixed selling expense 6 228,000
  Total cost $ 39 $ 1,482,000

   

The Rets normally sell for $44 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is constant at $266,000 per year within the range of 33,000 through 38,000 Rets per year.

  

Required:
1.

Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 33,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 5,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 5,000 units. This machine would cost $10,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. Determine the impact on profits next year if this special order is accepted.

     

2.

Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 33,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. If Polaski Company accepts the order, by how much will profits increase or decrease for the year?

     

3.

Assume the same situation as that described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 38,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 5,000 Rets. If the Army’s order is accepted, by how much will profits increase or decrease from what they would be if the 5,000 Rets were sold through regular channels?

Market Top Investors, Inc., is considering the purchase of a $350,000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method, at which time it will be worth $66,000. The computer will replace two office employees whose combined annual salaries are $87,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm’s required net working capital by $76,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 9 percent.

  

Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
