Consider a generating function that represents the number of ways to select laptops. That is the coefficient of the s* term will denote the number of ways to select x laptops. The laptops are all identical, so there will always be either 0 or 1 way to select a set of x laptops. However, there may be a constraint so that it is not always possible to select x laptops for a given value of x. Find the function for the following scenario: There are a total of six laptops, but they are only sold in pairs.

Find the following values, using the equations, and then work the problems using a financial calculator to check your answers. Disregard rounding differences. (Hint: If you are using a financial calculator, you can enter the known values and then press the appropriate key to find the unknown variable. Then, without clearing the TVM register, you can "override" the variable that changes by simply entering a new value for it and then pressing the key for the unknown variable to obtain the second answer. This procedure can be used in parts b and d, and in many other situations, to see how changes in input variables affect the output variable.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent. An initial $400 compounded for 1 year at 5.5%. $ An initial $400 compounded for 2 years at 5.5%. $ The present value of $400 due in 1 year at a discount rate of 5.5%. $ The present value of $400 due in 2 years at a discount rate of 5.5%. $
Choose the correct letter of answer In using least-squares to estimate the variable and the fixed components in a mixed cost, these two formulas are very useful: ∑XY = a∑X + b∑X2 and ∑Y = an + b∑X. Which unknown value can be computed after eliminating the first variable? a.) ab.) yc.) xd.) b
For the following five spreadsheet functions, (a) write the values of the engineering economy symbols P, F, A, i, and n, using a ? for the symbol that is to be determined, and (b) state whether the displayed answer will have a positive sign, a negative sign, or it can’t be determined from the entries. (1) = FV(8%, 10, 3000, 8000) (2) = PMT(12%, 20, –16000) (3) = PV(9%, 15, 1000,600) (4) = NPER(10%, –290,, 12000) (5) = FV(5%, 5, 500, –2000)
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? b. Sensitivity analysis is a type of risk analysis that considers both the sensitivity of NPV to changes in key input variables and the probability of occurrence of these variables' values. c. The primary advantage of simulation analysis over scenario analysis is that scenario analysis requires a relatively powerful computer, coupled with an efficient financial planning software package, whereas simulation analysis can be done efficiently using a PC with a spreadsheet program or even with just a calculator. d. Sensitivity analysis as it is generally employed is incomplete in that it fails to consider the probability of occurrence of the key input variables. e. As computer technology advances, simulation analysis becomes increasingly obsolete and thus less likely to be used as compared to sensitivity analysis.
There are three options for the software package solution. Although all three packages are considered to be adequate for the intended purpose, there are licensing and pre-installation customization fees that differ between the potential solutions. Accordingly, there are also differences in how much incremental revenue the software will create – through increased revenue opportunities as well as cost savings. It is anticipated that the risk level of the project will be associated with the level of customization required – the more customization, the higher the risk that something will go wrong. For the three options, use an appropriate financial measurement to identify the correct software solution. Your company’s finance department has instructed you to use the following rates based on differing levels of risk: High risk: 20% Medium risk: 12% Low risk: 5% Software License fee Customization Estimated annual benefit Number of years in service Option A 1,400,000 350,000 185,000 10…
