4 0

Explanation:

When I was in school grade 9, I had my first interaction with a robot during a visit to technology expo since then I could not think of anything else but to awe for exploring the fascinating world of robots.

I didn't had much resources to buy tools and components to build robots but still my passion kept me motivated and I found my way to get hands on scrap parts available at the various spots in my locality. Slowly and gradually, I kept learning and building robots and by the time I was in my high school, I had already won 3 major school competitions and received tremendous amount of recognition. Due to my outstanding performance, I was awarded with merit scholarship for the college.

In college, I continued my handwork and kept myself busy in exploring the depth of robotics. I had the pleasure of working on a big project funded by a our college. The project was to build a search and rescue quad-copter. Honestly speaking, it was not easy! I worked day and night tirelessly, and finally after 6 months I successfully built the quad-copter.

My goal is to become an inventor in the field of robotics. Building such robots that can make a difference in our lives and help humanity to grow and thrive. I believe that engineering program at Princeton encourages such passion and vision and would be a great learning platform for me to showcase my talent and skills.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

1.1 Inflow (Coupon payment ) = $1000 * 7.5% = $75

  Year     Inflows    Pvf at 5%     Present value

      1            75        0.952381     71.43

      2            75       0.907029    68.03

      3            75       0.863838     64.79

      4            75       0.822702     61.70

      4           1000    0.822702     822.70

   Total                                       1,088.65

Price of Bond, when yield to maturity is 5% = $1088.65

1.2   Year     Inflows    Pvf at 5.2%     Present value

           1            75          0.95057           71.29

          2            75          0.9035839        67.77

          3            75          0.85892             64.42

          4            75          0.816464            61.23  

          4          1000        0.816464            816.46

Total                                                           1,081.18

Price of Bond, when yield to maturity is 5.2% =$1081.18

1.3  Change in price of Bond = (Decrease in price of bond / price of bond ) * 100

= $7.47 / 1088.65 *100

= 0.69%

Change in price of Bond when yield increases by 0.2%( i.e Decrease in price of bond)

= $1088.65 - $ 1081.18

= $7.47

1.4   Year    Inflows    Pvf at 5%       P. value    Year*P. value

        1          75          0.9523809    71.43            71.43

        2         75          0.907029       68.03           136.05

        3         75          0.863838        64.79           194.36

        4         75          0.822702        61.70            246.81

        4        1000       0.822702       822.70         3,290.81

     Total                                           1,088.65        3,939.47

Modified duration = Bond duration / ( 1+YTM)

= 3.6187 / ( 1+0.05)

= 3.446

Bond Duration = Sum of (PV of inflows) / Sum of (Year*PV of inflows)

= $3,939.47 / $1088.65

= $3.6187

1.5 % Change in price of bond = (-1 * Modified duration * % change in YTM in term of basis point)

= ( -1 * 3.446 * 0.2)

= -0.69 %

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information: we are to:

a)  Prepare an income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters. Ignore taxes. (LO1)

An income statement involves depicts the achievement of a certain business over  a period of time .

The income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

We will see that  in the first and the fourth quarter ; the firm neither pay any cash to purchase goods nor collect cash for sales. Thus ; the cashflow will be zero in those instances and we will consider only the second and the fourth quarter for sales income and production cost.

SO:

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(b) What are the cash flows for the company today and in each of the next three quarters?

Cash flow is like a database that helps to keep tracks and records the cash inflows and cash outflows of a financial instrument.

The cash flow in each month is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

Inventories         $1000          $500                   0                  0

Account

Receivables       0                    550                  600                0

Net working

capital                 $1000          $1050             $600                0

Change in WC   $1000           $50                 $450              $600

CashFlow           $1000          $0                  $550              $600

Hint:

The Cash flow = net income - change in net working capital

The net working capital = Inventory + Account receivables

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(c) What is Ponzi’s net working capital in each quarter? (LO1)

The net working capital in each quarter can be illustrated as :

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Inventories        $1000             $500              0                    $0

Account recei-    0                   $550              $600             $0

vables

Net working       $1000             $1050           $600               $0

Acme Manufacturing Company prepared a fixed budget based on the expected sales of 160,000 units. That fixed budget included vari
Ksju [112]

If Acme Manufacturing Company uses flexible budgeting and actually sells 200,000 units during the period, these amounts will be included in its flexible budget performance report:

Variable costs = $1,000,000

Fixed costs = $240,000

<h3>What is a flexible budget?</h3>

A flexible budget adjusts the budget according to the activity or volume levels of the company.

For instance, if the total variable costs is $800,000 with expected sales of 160,000 but the actual sales equal 200,000, the flexible budget will be adjusted to $1,000,000 ($800,000/160,000 x 200,000).

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Expected sales = 160,000 units

Fixed Budget Figures:

Total variable costs = $800,000

Total fixed costs = $240,000

Flexible Budget Figures:

Total variable costs = $1,000,000 ($800,000/160,000 x 200,000)

Total fixed costs = $240,000

Thus, the flexible budget will still maintain the total fixed costs since they do not vary according to the volume level, within the relevant range.
