Beckman Engineering and Associates (BEA) is considering a change in its capital structure. BEA currently has $20 million in debt carrying a rate of 8%, and its stock price is $40 per share with 2 million shares outstanding. BEA is a zero-growth firm and pays out all of its earnings as dividends. The firm's EBIT is $13 million, and it faces a 25% federal-plus-state tax rate. The market risk premium is 6%, and the risk-free rate is 6%. BEA is considering increasing its debt level to a capital structure with 40% debt, based on market values, and repurchasing shares with the extra money that it borrows. BEA will have to retire the old debt in order to issue new debt, and the rate on the new debt will be 11%. BEA has a beta of 0.8.

What are BEA's new beta, cost of equity (Rs), and WACC if it has 40% debt? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Richard Scott, CEO of XYZ Enterprises, is considering a merger with Empire Inc., which is led by CEO Mickey Thompson. The merger of their two firms will enable the creation of a very large diversified conglomerate, with businesses ranging from office supplies to sporting goods, industrial paints, consumer electronics, video games, and marine engines. Consultants from Boston Consulting Group have advised Scott and Thompson that the merger could create a great deal of value, because the new combined entity can use several lucrative yet mature "cash cows" within Empire Inc. to fund the growth of several promising, but not yet highly profitable, young businesses. Scott and Thompson have decided to seek a second opinion from your consulting firm, International Associates.

Please respond to the following questions posed to you by these two CEOs:

• Could you please explain the BCG matrix to us? What is the logic of this model? What are the model’s limitations and weaknesses?
• Should we be employing the matrix to evaluate this merger? Could we create value in the manner that BCG has described?

All airplane passengers at the Lake City Regional Airport must pass through a security screening area before proceeding to the boarding area. The airport has three screening stations available, and the facility manager must decide how many to have open at any particular time. The service rate for processing passengers at each screening station is 6 passengers per minute. On Monday morning the arrival rate is 7.2 passengers per minute. Assume that processing times at each screening station follow an exponential distribution and that arrivals follow a Poisson distribution.

Note: Use P₀ values from Table 11.4 to answer the questions below.

1. Suppose two of the three screening stations are open on Monday morning. Compute the operating characteristics for the screening facility.
   
   Round your answer to four decimal places.

   W_q = ??min
   
   W = ??min
   
   Round your answer to four decimal places.
   
   P_w = ??
   
2. Because of space considerations, the facility manager's goal is to limit the average number of passengers waiting in line to 10 or fewer. Will the two-screening-station system be able to meet the manager’s goal?
   
   Yes
   
3. What is the average time required for a passenger to pass through security screening? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Write a program that keeps track of a game score and declares the winner when the game is over. A game is over when either one player scores 10 or more points with at least 2 more points than the opponent. A game is also over when one player scores 7 points and the opponent scores none. The program should begin by asking the names of the two players. Then, it should keep asking who won the point till the game is over (you will need to prompt user to determine who won the point. In the end it should display the winner and the final score.

Suppose THREE packets, each of length, L = 20 bits arrive at a router at the same time. Assume that there are no packets being transmitted or queued at the router. Let the router's transmission rate, R = 5 bit/seconds.

1.What is the queuing delay for each of these 3 packets?

2.What is the average queuing delay for the 3 packets?

3.Suppose the speed of propagation is s m/s, the distance between A and B is d meters, and the transmission rate of the link between A and B is R bps.Consider sending two packets of size L1 bits and L2 bits from A to B.

What is the total delay of sending these two packets from A to B in terms of L1, L2, R, d and s? Ignore the processing delay.
