wo alternative investment proposals are under consideration for a vacant owner by Urban
Development Corporation. Plan A would require an immediate investment of $120,000 and first-
year expenditure for property taxes, maintenance, and insurance of $4,000, with this amount
expected to increase at a rate of $1,000 per year. Plan B would have a first cost of $170,000 and
total first-year expenses of $9,000, with an increase of $1,000 per year. The economic life of
each project is forecast to be 10 years; and at the end of this time, only the facilities from Plan B
with a value of $50,000 are expected to salvage. During the life of the project, the facility in plan
A is expected to produce $34,000 annually, whereas Plan B is expected to produce $42,000 . a)
Determine the rate of return of each plan. b) Determine the rate of return of the Additional
investment required in Plan B compared with Plan A. c) Which plan should Urban Development
select if the company uses a MARR of 12 percent?
Solution
Working notes:
(1) For each plan,
Net Annual Benefit = Annual Benefit - Annual Expense
(2) For plan B, Net Annual Benefit in terminal year (year 10) is higher by $50,000 (Salvage
Value).
(3) Rate of Return is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) computed using Excel function
=IRR(Value 1, Value 2,.....Value n) where \"Value\" is the Net Annual Benefit, undiscounted.
(4) Based on MARR of 12%, the plan choice will be made based on NPV of the plans. NPV is
the sum of all cash outflows and inflows discounted at 12%. The plan with higher positive NPV
should be chosen.

E10-38. (Reporting reconciliation between fund and government-wide financial statements)
Return to your solution to Exercise E10-28, regarding Oliver City's capital assets. Using the
journal entries you prepared for that exercise, prepare the wording and the numbers you would
use in describing the reconciliation of the amounts reported in the two funds' financial statements
to the two governmentwide financial statements.
Q10-28. (Capital asset adjustments for government-wide financial statements) Oliver City
reported capital assets of $4,300,000 and accumulated depreciation of $2,000,000 in the
governmental activities column of its government-wide statement of net position for the year
ended December 31, 2021. The total governmental funds column in Oliver's calendar year 2022
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances showed that Oliver's capital
outlay expenditures were $340,000. Oliver City's director of finance estimated that total
depreciation for 2022 was $200,000. Based on this information, prepare journal entries to adjust
Oliver's 2022 fund financial statements so government-wide statements can be prepared..

ChapterTool KitChapter 1011/20/18 The Basics of Capital Budgeting: Evaluating Cash Flows10-1 An Overview of Capital BudgetingCapital budgeting is the process of analyzing projects and deciding which ones to accept.10-2 The First Step in Project AnalysisThe capital budgeting process begins with estimating a project's expected cash flows. We explain this in the next chapter.The next step is to put the estimated cash flows and other inputs (primarily the project's cost of capital) on a time line, as shown below. The figure below also reports evaluation measures, which we explain in the next sections.Figure 10-1Cash Flows and Selected Evaluation Measures for Projects S and L (Millions of Dollars)Panel A: Inputs for Project Cash Flows and Cost of Capital, rINPUTS:r =10%Initial Cost and Expected Cash FlowsYear01234Project S−$10,000$5,300$4,300$1,874$1,500Project L−$10,000$1,600$2,364$2,469$8,400Panel B: Summary of Selected Evaluation MeasuresProject SProject LNet present value, NPV$804.38$1,000.57Internal rate of return, IRR14.7%13.5%Modified IRR, MIRR12.1%12.7%Profitability index, PI1.081.10Payback2.213.42Discounted payback3.213.83Note: Numbers in the figure are shown as rounded values for clarity in reporting. However unrounded values are used for all calculations.10-3 Net Present Value (NPV)To calculate the NPV, we find the present value of the individual cash flows and then sum those discounted cash flows. The sum is the value the project adds to or subtracts from shareholder wealth.Figure 10-2Finding the NPV for Projects S and L (Millions of Dollars)INPUTS:r =10%Initial Cost and Expected Cash FlowsYear01234Project S−$10,000$5,300$4,300$1,874$1,5004,818←← ↵ ↓ ↓ ↓3,554← ← ← ← ← ← ←← ↵ ↓ ↓1,408← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ←← ↵ ↓1,025← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ← ←← ↵NPVS = $804Long way:

In other words, the internal rate of return is the interest rate that forces NPV to zero. The calculation for IRR can be tedious, but Excel provides an IRR function that merely requires you to access the function and enter the array of cash flows. The IRRs for Project S and L are shown below, along with the data entry for Project S.Figure 10-3Finding the IRR for Projects S and L (Millions of Dollars)INPUTS:Initial Cost and Expected Cash FlowsYear01234Project S−$10,000$5,300$4,300$1,874$1,5004,621.33←← ↵ ↓ ↓ ↓3,269.26← ← ← ← ← ← ...
Highlights on Earned Value Management ElementsYahya Khatib
Earned value management is an important process for monitoring projects performance against schedule and budget, it helps providing an early alarm on slippage or overrun of a project and enables addressing them before becoming major. Whether you are a project manager, a cost controller or an engineer working in construction management disciplines; you should have encountered the two indicators for earned value management; the Cost Performance Index (CPI) and the Schedule Performance Index (SPI). This paper demonstrates what is behind calculating the values of these indicators, and what should be done in a typical midsize construction company to have the project data readily available to serve the earned value calculation.

In C++ what are best practices for garbage collection?
In C++ what are best practices for garbage collection?
Solution
The garbage collection in cpp is automatic but if you want to release resources yourself like
closing files and release memory you can use :
- destructor in case of objects which are destroyed or released from memory after its scope ends
- delete operator to release other type of resources.

I\'m confused the other people obtained a result of 16. Are we simply saying that the integral
over the interval [0,2] is the integral of [0,8] divided by 4 then multiplied by 4?
Solution
In integration from 0 to 2 f(4x)dx Let, 4x = t dx = dt/4 when - x=0, t=0 x=2, t=8
Thus, integration from 0 to 8 (1/4)f(t)dt using change of variable from t to x integration from 0
to 8 (1/4)f(x)dx Hence, answer is 4/4 = 1.
If O2 is found in high concentration on the outside of the cella).pdfpigsleypeyno82989
If O2 is found in high concentration on the outside of the cell:
a) energy will be expended to pump it inside the cell.
b) it will move inside the cell through a protein channel.
c) it will form a shell around the outside of the cell.
d) it will passively diffuse out of the cell.
e) none of the above.
Solution
b.it will move inside the cell through a protein channel.
Oxygen enters cells by passing through the cell membrane in a process called diffusion, which is
a transport process that does not require energy.Diffusion is the process in which a substance
moves from an area of high concentration (the environment outside cells) to an area of low
concentration (inside cells) through a semi-permeable mebrane.The cell is constantly using up
oxygen in different processes within the cell.As a result,the concentration of oxygen is lower
inside the cell than outside.Oxygen diffuses into the cell rather than out of it..
Describe some common money management mistakes that can cause long-t.pdfpigsleypeyno82989
Describe some common money management mistakes that can cause long-term financial
concerns. (LO2.1)
What do you believe to be the major characteristics of an effective system to keep track of
financial documents and records? (LO2.1)
How might financial ratios be used when planning and implementing financial activities?
(LO2.2)
What are long-term effects of low savings for both individuals and the economy of a country?
(LO2.4)
Solution
1: The use of excessive credit can lead to long term financial concerns. Excessive borrowing will
create a burden on the business or individual in terms of regular interest that has to be paid as
well as reducing the creditworthiness. Speaking of an individual lack of retirement planning is
the other mistake that can lead to long term financial problems when the retirement time arises.
The other mistake that can have serious consequences is lack of investment. Having idle funds
and not investing them wisely will lead to an opportunity loss of interest that could be earned on
investment.
2: The system of keeping track of financial documents and records should be reviewed regularly.
It should be an active system rather than a passive system and this will allow the individual or
the business to keep track of movements in the financial records. The security of the records is of
prime importance so that the records are not lost and can be accessed easily at the same time.
3: Financial ratios are extremely beneficial for businesses and individuals to help in personal
financial planning. The main benefit offered by financial ratios is that it allows one to understand
the current efficiency of the plan and make changes to make the financial activities effectively.
An important ratio is the debt payments ratio which allows one to understand what portion of the
take home pay is being used to pay off debt. As for a business it allows one to understand how
much debt is being used as a percentage of total capital.
4: For an individual lack of savings will create insecurity for the individual in case of an
emergency such as a lost job for a sudden medical emergency. For an economy lack of savings
implies that the banks have lesser funds to invest into new businesses and development of the
economy as a whole. Hence lack of savings will deplete the capital base of the economy and
result in overseas borrowings which will finally reduce the Foreign Exchange Reserves of the
economy..

Top management commitment and the development of standards for successful project
management are very essential for the success of
information technology projects.
1) Top management helps project managers get adequate and skilled resources.
2) They approve unique project needs like stringent deadlines.
3) They provide support as mentors to project managers.
example of some of the Standards used :
CMM (Capability Maturity model) , HERMES (used in SWISS projects), PRINCE2 (Projects in
Control Environment)
Challenges in IT projects :
1) Poor communications between IT and the business clients due to language barrier.
2) Stringent deadlines : It includes all the phases requirement eliciation, project planning,
design, testing and maintenance.
3) Unclear Expectations : There is often a gap between the requirements given and the
expectation from the protype built.
4) Ambiguous Requirements : Some requirements are not clear and leads to confusion and extra
work.
5) Project Budget : It depends on the resources required , tools and technologies used , team
strength and other business requirements..
Discrete Math Problem - Chinese Remainder TheoremWe recently disc.pdfpigsleypeyno82989
Discrete Math Problem - Chinese Remainder Theorem:
We recently discussed the Chinese remainder theorem, and we showed an algorithm for
\"decoding\" the remainders of two distinct primes. For example, suppose we want to know
which number between 0 and 34 has remainder 1 when divided by 5 and 2 when divided by 7.
We begin by finding the Bezout theorem parameters that would allow multiples of 5 and 7 to add
up to 1:
5*3 + 7*(-2) = 1
Then, we multiply our two desired remainders - here, 1 and 2 - by the two terms in our Bezout
expression. The first remainder is multiplied into the second term, and the second remainder is
multiplied into the first term:
5*3*2 + 7*(-2)*1 = 30 - 14 = 16
And now we can conclude (and check!) that 16 has remainder 1 when divided by 5 and
remainder 2 when divided by 7.
Here\'s the question:
A Chinese general knows that his troops number somewhat above 1000, but otherwise isn\'t
really sure of the number. He asks them to line up in rows of 11, and finds the final \"remainder\"
row has 9 soldiers. He asks them to line up in rows of 13, and finds that the final \"remainder\"
row has 1 soldier. He asks them to line up in rows of 17, and finds 14 soldiers in the final
\"remainder\" row. How many soldiers are in his army?

Describe the usage of technology by Fedex in all its sectors
Solution
FedEx Corporation is a US multinational courier delivery services company headquartered in
Memphis, Tennessee. The name \"FedEx\" is a syllabic abbreviation of the name of the
company\'s original air division, Federal Express, which was used from 1973 until 2000. The
company is known for its overnight shipping service, but also for pioneering a system that could
track packages and provide real-time updates on package location (to help in finding lost
packages), a feature that has now been implemented by most other carrier services.
FedEx Corporation is an import/export company, incorporated October 2, 1997 in Delaware.
FDX Corporation was founded in January 1998 with the acquisition of Caliber System Inc. by
Federal Express. With the purchase of Caliber, FedEx started offering other services besides
express shipping. Caliber subsidiaries included RPS, a small-package ground service; Roberts
Express, an expedited shipping provider; Viking Freight, a regional, less than truckload freight
carrier serving the Western United States; Caribbean Transportation Services, a provider of
airfreight forwarding between the United States and the Caribbean; and Caliber Logistics and
Caliber Technology, providers of logistics and technology solutions. FDX Corporation was
founded to oversee all of the operations of those companies and its original air division, Federal
Express.
FedEx is a proponent of e-commerce. They realize that through prosumption, having
customers conduct their business online, they save the cost of additional employees and phone
costs. Industry Analysis within the industry are two types of companies. There are combination
carriers, which are primarily passenger airline companies that also carry cargo. And then there
are all-cargo companies like Federal Express which only carry cargo, have fleets of planes,
usually fly at night, have ground transportation, and personnel for door-to-door pick-up and
delivery. The all cargo companies control 90% of the domestic cargo companies. Competition in
the all cargo segment of the industry includes: UPS, DHL, Airborne Express and U.S. Postal
Service. The entire industry delivers roughly 5.6 million packages each day. FedEx currently has
a 45 “ 50 % market share and thus delivers 2.8 million packages each day.
FedEx is organized into operating units, each of which has its own version of the wordmark
designed in 1994 by Lindon Leader of Landor Associates, of San Francisco. The Fed is always
purple and the Ex is in a different color for each division and platinum for the overall corporation
use. The original FedEx logo had the Ex in orange; it is now used as the FedEx Express
wordmark. The FedEx wordmark is notable for containing a subliminal right-pointing arrow in
the negative space between the \"E\" and the \"X\", which was achieved by designing a
proprietary font, based on Univers and Futura, to emphasize the arrow shape. In August.

Dawn Burke, director of employee relations, glanced at her online calendar and remembered her
appointment at 3:00 P.M. today. She quickly found the file labeled \"McCullen and Aranda\" and
started preparing for the meeting. She recalled that this was essentially an employee-supervisor
case, where the employee had been unwilling or unable to meet the supervisor\'s requests. The
employee claimed that the supervisor was too demanding and impatient. Their conflict had
escalated to the point that both were unhappy and uncomfortable in the work environment. Other
employees had noticed, and overheard, some of the conflict. In her role, Dawn was responsible
for many programs, including a new mediation initiative to resolve workplace conflict. The
program was designed to help employees develop stronger communication and conflict
resolution skills. In this case, the program was also providing an intermediary step between
informal and formal discipline. Today, she was meeting with both parties to discuss mediation
guidelines, a time line, their goal, and their general points of conflict. John McCullen, fifty-one,
a buyer in the facilities department, and Terry Aranda, the director of facilities procurement,
arrived separately. John had been with the company for thirty-two years and had started his
career with the company right out of high school. Terry, thirty-one, was hired from another firm
to oversee the procurement area a year ago and recently graduated from a prestigious MBA
program. Dawn started the meeting by reviewing the mediation guidelines and time line. She
reminded John and Terry that their goal was to develop a workable and agreeable solution to the
current situation. Dawn then asked for each party to explain his or her position on the conflict.
John began, \"Ms. Aranda is a very smart lady. She seems to know the buying and procurement
area, but she knows less about the company and its history. I am not sure she has taken the time
to learn our ways and values. Ms. Aranda is impatient with our use of the new software and
computer system. Some of us don\'t have college degrees, and we haven\'t been using computers
since we were young. I started working at this company about the time she was born, and I am
not sure that her management style is good for our department. Everything was going pretty well
until we starting changing our systems.\" Terry commented, \"John is a valuable member of the
department, as he knows everyone at this company. I appreciate his knowledge and loyalty. On
the other hand, he has not completed several tasks in a timely manner, nor has he asked for an
extension. I feel that I must check up on his schedule and proof all of his work. John has attended
several training classes, and I asked that he use an electronic calendar so that projects are
completed on time. He continues to ignore my advice and deadlines We\'ve had several
conversations, but John\'s work has not substantially improved. We have many goals to achieve.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
