Lewis Health System Inc. has decided to acquire a new electronic health record system for its Richmond hospital. The system receives clinical data and other patient information from nursing units and other patient care areas, then either displays the information on a screen or stores it for later retrieval by physicians. The system also permits patients to call up their health record on Lewis's website.

The equipment costs $1,000,000, and, if it were purchased, Lewis could obtain a term loan for the full purchase price at a 10 percent interest rate. Although the equipment has a six-year useful life, it is classified as a special-purpose computer, so it falls into the MACRS three-year class. If the system were purchased, a four-year maintenance contract could be obtained at a cost of $20,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. The equipment would be sold after four years, and the best estimate of its residual value at that time is $200,000. However, since real-time display system technology is changing rapidly, the actual residual value is uncertain.   

As an alternative to the borrow-and-buy plan, the equipment manufacturer informed Lewis that Consolidated Leasing would be willing to write a four-year guideline lease on the equipment, including maintenance, for payments of $260,000 at the beginning of each year. Lewis's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40 percent. You have been asked to analyze the lease-versus-purchase decision, and in the process to answer the following questions:

a. What is the present value cost of owning the equipment?

b. What is the present value cost of leasing the equipment?                                               

c. What is the net advantage to leasing (NAL)?                                                                                

d. Answer these questions one at a time to see the effect of the change on NAL. That is, starting with the original numbers you used for questions a. and b., what is the NAL if:                                                                                             

    - interest rate increases to 12 percent                                                                                          

    - the tax rate falls to 34 percent                                                                                       

    - maintenance cost increases to $25,000 per year                                                                                   

    - residual value falls to $150,000                                                                                      

    - the system price increases to $1,050,000                                                                                               

e. Do the changes in d. make leasing more or less attractive? Explain.

The C statistic is also known as the response criterion. This is the amount of evidence an individual requires to make a target-present response. What does a negative C statistic mean? What does a positive C statistic mean? What factors can influence someone’s response criterion?

single detection lab Results

The table below lists several detection statistics for different numbers of noise dots. The most important statistic is d'. It gives a measure of your ability to discriminate displays in which the target was present from displays in which the target was absent. You should find that d' decreases as the number of noise dots increases. It also reports C, a measure of bias (negative = liberal; positive = conservative).

Assume Highline Company has just paid an annual dividend of $ 0.91 Analysts are predicting an 11.7 % per year growth rate in earnings over the next five years. After​ then, Highline's earnings are expected to grow at the current industry average of 5.1 % per year. If​ Highline's equity cost of capital is 7.9 % per year and its dividend payout ratio remains​ constant, for what price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Highline stock should​ sell?

C++ mainDisplay.cpp

Write the function displayAt that receives the two STL lists; vList and pList. The function should display the elements in vList that are in positions specified by pList. For example, if pList has the elements (2, 5, 6, 8) then the elements in positions 2, 5, 6, and 8 in vList are displayed. Use only the public STL container operations.

C++

Using your completed LinkedList template class, developed in homework and lab, write a program that implements and properly tests the following functions (these functions are not member functions of the class, you will write these function in mainTest.cpp )

1. Function compare that receives two LinkedList objects and compares the data in the nodes of the two lists to check if they are the same. The lists are equal only if they have the same number of nodes and corresponding nodes contain the same data. The function returns true or false to main.

2. Function mergeLists that receives two LinkedList objects. The function merges the sorted lists into a new list then returns the new list object back to main. Display the returned list.
