State what the following abbreviations stand for: NOI, GI, $T_{e},$ NOPAT, TI, R, OE, EBIT.

Software and hardware for optimizing cell design of robotic picking lines have an installed cost of $78,000 with no residual value after 5 years. For years 2 and 4, use DDB book depreciation to determine (a) the depreciation charge, and (b) the book value.

Halcrow Yolles purchased equipment for new highway construction in Manitoba, Canada, costing $500,000 Canadian. Estimated salvage at the end of the expected life of 5 years is$50,000. Various acceptable depreciation methods are being studied currently. Determine the depreciation for year 2 using the DDB, 150% DB and SL methods. Solve (a) by hand, and (b) by spreadsheet function.

What is the depreciation rate $d_{t}$ each year t for an asset that has a 5-year recovery period and is straight line depreciated?

Cyber Manufacturing purchased a complete video borescope system for applications that require work in places where eyes cannot see. The purchase price was $18,000, shipping and delivery was$300, installation cost was $1200, tax recovery period was 7 years, estimated useful life was 10 years, salvage value was nil, and annual operating cost was$45,000 per year. For tax depreciation purposes, what are the values of B, S, and n that should be used in depreciating the asset?

Choose the best answer. Which is NOT true about geothermal energy? (a) It is only available in limited areas. (b) It cannot be used for cooling. (c) It can be locally depleted due to heavy use. (d) Ground source heat pumps require an additional source of energy.

The points A(-3, -4) and C(5, 4) are the ends of the diagonal of a rhombus ABCD. (a) Find the equation of the diagonal BD. (b) Given that the side BC has gradient $\frac{5}{3}$, find the coordinates of B and hence of D.

Bristol-Myers-Squibb purchased a tablet-forming machine in 2010 for $750,000. The company planned to use the machine for 10 years and then sell it for$50,000; however, due to rapid obsolescence, it will be retired after only 6 years in 2016. (a) Determine the capital investment remaining when the asset was prematurely retired. (b) If the asset is sold at the end of 6 years for $175,000, determine the capital investment loss based on straight line depreciation. (c) If the new-technology machine has an estimated cost of$260,000, how many more years would the company have had to depreciate the currently-owned machine to make its book value and the first cost of the new machine equal each other?

Suppose that

$$f_{X, Y}(x, y)=\lambda^{2} e^{-\lambda(x+y)}, 0 \leq x, 0 \leq y$$

Find E(X + Y).

Compute $-2 \ln \lambda$ for the nightmare data, and use it to test the hypothesis that $p_{X}=p_{Y} .$ Let $\alpha=0.01$

A restaurant offers a choice of four appetizers, four-teen entrees, six desserts, and five beverages. How many different meals are possible if a diner intends to order only three courses? (Consider the beverage to be a “course.”)

From 2000 through 2009, the population of Kentucky grew more slowly than that of South Carolina. Models that represent the populations of the two states are given by

$$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} P=30.8 t+4035 & \mathrm { Kentucky } \\ P=61.6 t+3985 & \mathrm { South Carolina } \end{array}\right.$$

where P represents the population (in thousands) and t represents the year, with t=0 corresponding to 2000. Use a graphing utility to estimate the year when the population of South Carolina first exceeded that of Kentucky.

Find P(X < 2Y) if

$$f_{X, Y}(x, y)=x+y$$

for X and Y each defined over the unit interval.

Brass waveguides are often silver plated to reduce losses. If the thickness of silver $\left(\mu=\mu_{\mathrm{o}}, \varepsilon=\varepsilon_{\mathrm{o}}, \sigma=6.1 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{S} / \mathrm{m}\right)$ must be $5 \delta$, find the minimum thickness required for a waveguide operating at 12 GHz.
