One crucial assumption is interpreting sensitivity analysis
information for changes in model parameters is that all other
parameters is that all other model parameters are held constant.
In this case the increase in budget also reflected in the budget
constraint. When we change the budget the constraint also
changes. This violates the assumption. The change causes the
budget constraint to become infeasible, and the solution must be
adjusted to maintain feasibility.

EXCEL ASSIGNMENT #3Fall 2016
Check Figure: NPV $7,505 of common stock
REQUIREMENTS:
· Complete Parts 1, 2 and 3 of P11-25A on page 545 - 546 (little
page numbers) of your textbook.
· There is NO What IF part to this assignment.
· REQUIRED ELEMENTS:
· Excel’s PV function must be used to calculate the present
value of the cash flows. Do not use the factor tables as is
illustrated in the text.
· A data block and cell referencing is required.
SUGGESTIONS
· Use the format illustrated under general information to
determine the NPV of each investment.
· There will be no ‘Factor’ column since excel will calculate
that for you.
· Under the ‘year(s)’ column, use ‘0’ where there would be a
‘Now’, since no time has passed from now. Be sure to input
the year(s) or period(s) in your data block so you can cell
reference them to your spreadsheet formulas.
· Under the ‘year(s)’ column, for any annuity, use the total
number of years for the annuity instead of the range. For
example: for the range ‘1-6’, you would use ‘6’ in your
spreadsheet instead (the end of the range).
· To calculate the present value, use the excel formula function
(PV) and NOT the tables in the textbook. See below for
instructions on how to use the PV function in excel.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Data Block Page:
You must use a Data Block area, cell references and formulas.
You will cell reference the information from your data block

did she earn at least a 20% return? On which investment(s) did
she not earn at least a 20% return?
Part 3: (Extra Credit worth 5 pts)
You must use an excel formula function to calculate this
answer.
Please first do the calculation in excel, then summarize your
conclusion.
Other Information:
Please be sure what you turn in is a unique product. You may
work together, but you must each do your own spreadsheet. Do
NOT turn in duplicate spreadsheets. We will assume you
cheated and you both (or all) will get a zero for the assignment.
There is no date in your report.
Don’t forget to show dollar signs at the top if each column and
then again at each of the solutions you calculate.
Save your work frequently! Do not be the next person telling
horror stories about lost work! Back up your work on a disk.
SAVING YOUR FILE:
Save the original file according to the following name format:

(depending on which version of Microsoft you are using).
USING EXCEL TO CALCULATE PRESENT VALUE (PV)
LOGIC IF STATEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Present Value Function Instructions:
1. From the standard toolbar, select the button, ‘fx’. This
button will bring up a box called ‘Insert Function’.
8. 2. Under function category, select “Financial”.
3. Under function name, find and select “PV”.
4. After completing step 2 & 3, select “ok” to bring up the box
for the PV function.
5. In the PV function box, enter in the relevant information
using cell references. For example, for the ‘rate’, put your
cursor in the ‘rate’ area, go to the data block, click on the ‘rate’
cell, and then click on the next area that information is needed.
Some of the areas will have no cell references if it is not
relevant to the calculation. When all relevant information is
entered, click ‘ok’. In the example below, the cell references
will be different from your cell references.
6. When placing the cell reference into the ‘Fv’ area, make sure
there is a negative (-) sign before the reference, otherwise your
output will have the wrong sign.
7. You will need to use the Pmt box when calculating the PV of
an annuity and you will use the Fv box when calculating the PV
of a single sum.
8. The Nper box is for the time period of the inflow or outflow.
SUBMISSION OF YOUR EXCEL ASSIGNMENT:
Put a footer on each page in the bottom right-hand corner which
includes your name and ZID#. Before submitting your Excel
assignment, check the Print Preview to make sure your report is
centered (horizontally) in the page and you have included the
footer. Make sure you attach the correct file before clicking the
submit button on Bb.

SimQuickSimQuick is afreely-distributedExcel-based software
package for building simulation models of processes such as:
waiting lines, supply chains, manufacturing facilities, and
project scheduling. SimQuick is designed to be easy to learn
and use,with clearly-defined functionality.The package has been
used both to model real-world processes as well as in
educational settings to introduce fundamental concepts of
modeling, process simulation, and operations management. For
an example of a SimQuick model and more details on SimQuick
45. visit the website: SimQuick.net.SimQuick models consist of
linked combinations of five basic elements. The element types
are Entrances, Exits, Work Stations, Buffers, and Decision
Points. You have a lot of discretion in how these elements are
combined to build a model of a process. Characteristics of the
elements are entered into SimQuick by filling in tables.
Statistical distributions are a key characteristic; they capture the
uncertainty inherent in almost all processes: arrival times of
people at a service, times to process a document or machined
part, demand for a product in a store, and so on.SimQuick is
accompanied by an inexpensive 125-page booklet that covers
the basics of process simulation and how to build models using
SimQuick. Information on the booklet and how to order it can
be found at SimQuick.net.David HartvigsenMendoza College of

PA 4A medical device company is allocating next year's budget
among its divisions. As a result, the R&D Division needs to
determine which research and development projects to fund.
Each project requires various software and hardware and
consulting espenses, along with internal human resources. a
budget allocation of $1,300,000 has been approved, and 35
engineers are available to work on the projects. The R&D group
has determined that at most one of the projects 1 and 2 should
be pursued, and that is project 4 is chosen, then project 2 must
also be chosen. Develop a model to select the best projects
within the budget. ProjectNPV ($)Internal EngineersAdditional

Solution
46. Let us define Xi=1 if project I allocated and 0 otherwiseOur
objective is to maximize NPV from the project. Hence our
objective function is Since the total budget is $1300000, we
have:A maximum of 35 engineers can work hence we add the
following constraint:The following are also additional
constraints:Constraint 1: At most one of the projects 1 and 2
should be pursued. Hence we haveConstraint 2: If project 4 is
chosen, then project 2 must also be
chosen.ProjectNPVEngineersCostsAllocation160000091960000

PA 6Soap box is a local band that plays classic and
contemporary rock. The band members charge $600 for a three
hour gig. They would like to play at least 30 gigs per year but
need to determine the best way to promote themselves. The
most they are willing to spend on promotion is $2500. the
possible promotion options are as follows: playing free gigs,
making a demo cd, hiring an agent, handing out fliers, creating
47. a website. Each free gig costs them about $250 for travel and
equipment but generates about 3 paying gigs. a high quality
studio demo cd should help the band book about 20 gigs, but
will cost about $1000. A demo cd made on home recording
equipment will cost only $400 but may result in only 10
bookings. A good agent will get the band about 15 gigs, but will
charge $1500. The band can create a website for $400 and
would expect to generate 6 gigs from this exposure. They also
estimate that they may book 1 gig for every 500 fliers they hand
out, which would cost $0.08 each. They do not want to play
more than 10 free gigs or send out more than 2500 fliers.
Develop and solve an optimization model to find the best
promotion strategy to maximize their revenue. Cost

PA 9Anya is a part time MBA student who works full time and
is constantly on the run. She recognized the challenge of eating
a balanced diet and wants to minimize costs while meeting some
basic nutritional requirements. Based on some research, she
found that a very active woman should consume 2250 calories
per day. According to one author's guidelines, the following
daily nutritional requirements are recommended.
