Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 3 years ago for $4798465 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3848715. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $823164, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $4984348 million to build, and the site requires $1185814 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

1.     What are the key drivers that today’s marketer has to understand in planning for the international marketplace? At least TWO specific examples required.

6.3 In a competitive market, the market demand curve is Q = 28 - 2p and the market supply curve is 19 If you do not see the Solver tool, you need to load it first. Look up Solver in the Excel help facility for instructions. Qs = -8 + 2p. Use a spreadsheet to answer the following questions.

a. Determine the quantity demanded and quantity supplied for p = $4, 5, 6, …, 14. Determine the equilibrium quantity and price.

b. For prices p = $4, 5, 6, …, 14, determine the consumer surplus. How does an increase in price affect the consumer surplus?

c. For prices p = $4, 5, 6, …, 14, determine the producer surplus. How does an increase in price affect the producer surplus?

d. Suppose the government limits the quantity traded in the market to 6 units. Calculate the resulting deadweight loss.

Chemical Company created a new product called “Tire Shine” to clean the oil and tar from car tire rims. Chemical company sold 1,000 bottles of “Tire Shine” to Amazon, who then sold the product to Ferrari Corp. Ferrari received and used the “Tire Shine” from Amazon without altering the product. “Tire Shine” however caused harm to Ferrari employees who used the product, even though they used the product as instructed. In random checks of the “Tire Shine” bottles received by Ferrari it was discovered that the fumes from the bottles of “Tire Shine” were extremely toxic. If Ferrari can “prove” that Amazon sold the product “Tire Shine” without warning of any dangerous conditions on the warning labels and Chemical Company didn’t fully warn of the toxic and dangerous conditions, both companies could be liable under what two different causes of action? 1) Please identify which company is liable for which cause of action, 2) then explain your answer by listing the elements of each cause of action and applying the appropriate facts.

Rhodes Corporation: Income Statements for Year Ending December 31 (Millions of Dollars)

Rhodes Corporation: Balance Sheets as of December 31 (Millions of Dollars)

Using Rhodes Corporation's financial statements (shown above), answer the following questions.

1. What is the ROIC for 2016? Round your answer to two decimal places.
   ________ %
   
2. How much of the FCF did Rhodes use for each of the following purposes: after-tax interest, net debt repayments, dividends, net stock repurchases, and net purchases of short-term investments? (Hint: Remember that a net use can be negative.) Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answers to one decimal place.

   After-tax interest payment	$   ________ million
   Reduction (increase) in debt	$   ________ million
   Payment of dividends	$   ________ million
   Repurchase (Issue) stock	$   ________ million
   Purchase (Sale) of short-term investments	$   ________ million

According to Suzana Herculano Houzel, what does cooking have to do with human evolution? (7pts). Considering their raw diets, why can’t great apes “afford” brains with more neurons? (4 pts).

A speaker at an open-air concert emits 500 W of sound power, radiated equally in all directions.

Part A:

What is the intensity of the sound 6.8 m from of the speaker?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part B:

What sound intensity level would you experience there if you did not have any protection for your ears?

Express your answer using two significant figures. Units must be in (dB)

Part C:

Earplugs you can buy in the drugstore have a noise reduction rating of 23 decibels. If you are wearing those earplugs but your friend Phil is not, how far from the speaker should Phil stand to experience the same loudness as you?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

1. Given two vectors such as

A⃗ =2x̂ +4ŷ +7ẑ

B⃗ =−3x̂ +8ŷ −2ẑ

what is their sum? What is its length, and what angle does it make to the plane of x and y? What is the dot product A⃗ ⋅B⃗

? What is the dot product of their sum with a unit vector in the z direction (A⃗ +B⃗ )⋅ẑ

? (Hint: this gives the z-component of the sum.).

2. When you apply a force of 100 N to a 25 kg box resting on a table, what is the smallest coefficient of static friction that will give a frictional force sufficient to prevent the box from moving? Suppose you push just a little harder and it starts to move. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.1, how fast will it be going after 2 seconds of pushing?

3. If you walk up a mountain that is 1.5 km high (1500 meters), and your mass is 65 kg (your weight is about 143 lb of gravitational force at Earth's surface), how much energy do you use in joules to overcome Earth's gravity? How much would that be in food calories, where 1 calorie is 4.18 J and a "food" calorie is a kilocalorie in the units used by physicists and chemists. Similarly, if an object of your falls from low Earth orbit to Earth's surface, a distance of say 400 km which is the approximate height of the International Space Station orbit, how much kinetic energy would it have on reaching the Earth's surface -- assuming (a) it starts from rest, and (b) it does not lose energy to the atmosphere on the way down.

In order to manage change and implement change strategies, it is important to avoid implementing irrelevant or random methods and try to focus on a suitable plan of action. Change management is an ongoing process that takes time, expertise, dedication and efforts to implement and run. It requires the involvement of people or staff of the company and may also result in these people being affected by the changes too. Before adopting one of the many effective and popular change management approaches and models, an organization must first figure out why it needs the changes and how will the changes benefit it.

Q.1 Demonstrate the most important major approaches, models, cost and risks of change management
