You are working in the finance department of Innotech Ltd (INT). The Company has spent $5 million
in research and development over the past 12 months developing cutting-edge battery technology
which will be incorporated into the electric vehicle market. INT now need to choose between the
following three options for bringing the product to market. These options are:
Option 1: Manufacturing the product “in-house” and selling directly to the market
Option 2: Licensing another company to manufacture and sell the product in return for a royalty
Option 3: Sell the patent rights outright to the company mentioned in option 2
Your task
Your manager, INT’s CFO, Mr Barry Smith, has asked you to evaluate the three different options and
draft a memo to the Board of Directors providing recommendations on the alternatives, along with
supporting analyses.
Mr Smith has outlined the following three (3) areas you need to cover in your memo:
a) Analyse base case figures for the three options and using NPV as the investment decision
rule;
b) Provide recommendations based on the base-case analyses;
c) Provide recommendations on further analyses and discuss factors that should be considered
prior to making a final decision on the three options (Note. You do NOT have to undertake
any further financial analyses).
Further details for the various options are as follows:
Option 1: Manufacturing the product “in-house” and selling directly to the market
Three months ago, INT paid an external consultant $1.5 million for a production plan and demand
analysis. The consultant recommended producing and selling the product for five years only as
technological innovation will likely render the market too competitive to be profitable enough after
that time. Sales of the product are estimated as follows:
In the first year, it is estimated that the product will be sold for $45,000 per unit. However, the price
will drop in the following three years to $40,000 per unit and fall again to $36,000 per unit in the
final year of the project, reflecting the effects of anticipated competition and improving technology
Year Estimated sales volume
(units)
1 5,200
2 4,600
3 4,200
4 3,800
5 3,600
In the first year, it is estimated that the product will be sold for $45,000 per unit. However, the price
will drop in the following three years to $40,000 per unit and fall again to $36,000 per unit in the
final year of the project, reflecting the effects of anticipated competition and improving technology
in the market. Variable production costs are estimated to be $29,000 per unit for the entire life of the
project.
Fixed production costs (excluding depreciation) are predicted to be $3 million per year and marketing
costs will be $1.6 million per year.
Production will take place in factory space the company owns and currently rents to another business for $2.5 million per year. Equipment costing $87 million will have to be purchased. This
equipment will be depreciated for tax purposes using the prime cost method at a rate of 10% per
annum. At the end of the project, the company expects to be able to sell the equipment for $37
million.
Investment in net working capital will also be required. It is estimated that accounts receivable will
be 30% of sales, while inventory and accounts payable will each be 25% of variable and fixed
production costs (excluding depreciation). This investment is required from the beginning of the
project because credit sales, inventory stocks and purchases on trade credit will begin building up
immediately. All accounts receivable will be collected, suppliers paid and inventories sold by the end
of the project, thus the investment in net working capital will be returned at that point. (Refer to
spreadsheet example provided in Assessment Details).
Option 2: Licensing another company to manufacture and sell the product in return for a royalty

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle capable of delivering a net work output of 400 kJ for an energy input by heat transfer of 1200 kJ. The system undergoing the cycle receives heat from a source of 550K and rejects heat to a sink of 350K. Determine if this is a valid claim.

Answers

Answer: Valid claim

Explanation:

Given

Work output is [tex]W=400\ kJ[/tex]

Work input is [tex]Q=1200\ kJ[/tex]

The temperature of the source [tex]T_h=550\ K[/tex]

The temperature of the sink is [tex]T_l=350\ K[/tex]

Efficiency is given by

[tex]\eta =\dfrac{\text{W}}{\text{Q}}\times 100[/tex]

Insert the values

[tex]\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{400}{1200}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{100}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=33.3\%[/tex]

For ideal cycle it is

[tex]\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{T_h-T_l}{T_l}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{550-350}{550}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=36.36\%[/tex]

The efficiency of the cycle is less than the ideal situation, therefore, it is valid claim.

What is the centripetal force for a roller coaster if the mass is 10 kg and the normal force is 25 N?

Answers

Answer:

Fc = 123 Newton

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

[tex] Fnet = Fapp + Fg[/tex]

Where;

Fnet is the net force.

Fapp is the applied force.

Fg is the force due to gravitation.

Given the following data;

Normal force = 25N

Mass = 10kg

To find the centripetal force;

From the net force, we have the following formula;

Fc = N + mg

Where;

Fc is the centripetal force.

N is the normal force.

mg is the the weight of the object.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Fc = 25 + 10(9.8)

Fc = 25 + 98

Fc = 123 Newton

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of rock piece = 18 cm³

Mass of rock piece = 48.6 gram

Find:

Density of rock piece

Computation:

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright fringe on a flat screen is 0.0176 m, when the light has a wavelength of 425 nm. Assume that the angles are small enough so that is approximately equal to . Find the separation y when the light has a wavelength of 614 nm.

Answers

Answer:

Y = 0.0254 m = 25.4 mm

Explanation:

The formula for the fringe spacing in Young's Double-slit experiment is given by the following formula:

[tex]Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}[/tex]

where,

Y = fringe spacing = 0.0176 m

λ = wavelength = 425 nm = 4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = slit separation

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{0.0176\ m}{4.25\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m} = \frac{L}{d}\\\\\frac{L}{d} = 41411.76[/tex]

Now, for:

λ = 614 nm = 6.14 x 10⁻⁷ m

[tex]Y = (6.14\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(41411.76)\\[/tex]

Y = 0.0254 m = 25.4 mm

ASSUME:

Red has a mass of 5 kg

Red is 1.5 m from the center

Red has a speed of 9 m/s

Blue has a mass of 25 kg

Blue has a speed of 1.8 m/s

The force of friction on Red is EQUAL to the force of friction on Blue





DETERMINE:

How far from the center is Blue

Answers

Answer:

M v^2 / R = centripetal force

For Red: M v^2 / R = 5 * 9^2 / 1.5 = 270

For Blue M v^2 / R = 270 = 25 * 1.8^2 / Rb

So Rb = 25 * 1.8^2 / 270 = .3 m

Suppose a 118kg watermelon is held 5m above the ground before sliding along a frictionless ramp to the ground. How high above the ground is the watermelon at the moment it's kinetic energy is 4,610J

Answers

This question involves the concepts of kinetic energy, potential energy, and the law of conservation of energy.

The watermelon is "1.02 m" above the ground.

The total energy of the watermelon can be found by its potential energy at the highest point:

Total Energy = mgh

where,

m = mass = 118 kgg = 9.81 m/s²h = height = 5 m

Therefore,

Total Energy = (118 kg)(9.81 m/s²)(5 m)

Total Energy = 5787.9 J

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

Now, according to the law of conservation of energy, at the given point:

Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

5787.9 J = 4610 J + mgh'

[tex]h'=\frac{5787.9\ J-4610\ J}{(118\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)}[/tex]

Suppose that you make a series RC circuit with a capacitor and a known resistor that has a 5% tolerance: R= 5.20 ± 0.26kΩ. You plan is to measure the time constant of the circuit in order to determine the value of the capacitor. You do ten trials of your experiment and measure the time constant each time, and then you calculate the average and standard error of the ten results to determine that τ= 2.150 ± 0.002s.

Which of the following is the best estimate of the uncertainty on your determination of the value of your capacitor?
a. 1%
b. 0.1%
c. 5%

Answers

Answer:

correct answer is C

Explanation:

The time constant of an RC circuit is

           τ = RC

so to find the capacitance

          C = τ/ R

          C = 2.150 / 5.20 10³

          C = 4.13 10⁻⁴ F

to find the error we use the worst case

         ΔC = | [tex]|\frac{dC}{d \tau }| \ \Delta \tau + | \frac{dC}{dR} | \ \Delta R[/tex]

the absolute value guarantees that we find the worst case, we evaluate the derivatives

          ΔC = 1 /R Δτ + τ/R²  ΔR

the absolute values ​​of the errors are

          Δτ = 0.002 s

          ΔR = 0.3 kΩ

we substitute

           ΔC = 0.002 /5.20 10³ + 2.150/(5.20 10³)²   0.3 10³

           ΔC = 3.8 10⁻⁷ + 1.74 10⁻⁵

           ΔC = 1.77 10⁻⁵ F

the uncertainty or error must be expressed with a significant figure

            ΔC = 2 10⁻⁵ F

the percentage error is

            Er% =[tex]\frac{\Delta C}{C} \ 100[/tex]

            Er% = [tex]\frac{2 \ 10^{-5} }{ 4.13 \ 10^{-4} } \ 100[/tex]

            Er% = 4.8%

A film of oil lies on wet pavement. The refractive index of the oil exceeds that of the water. The film has the minimum nonzero thickness such that it appears dark due to destructive interference when viewed in visible light with wavelength 678 nm in vacuum. Assuming that the visible spectrum extends from 380 to 750 nm, what is the longest visible wavelength (in vacuum) for which the film will appear bright due to constructive interference

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

For destructive interference , the condition is

2μt = nλ

2μt = n x 678

For constructive interference , the condition is

2μt = (2n+1)λ₁ /2

n x 678 = (2n+1)λ₁ /2

λ₁ = 1356 n / ( 2n + 1 )

λ₁ = 1356  / ( 2 + 1/n )

For longest wavelength , denominator should be smallest or n should be largest . The longest value of n is infinity so

λ₁ = 1356  /  2

= 678 nm .

Learning Goal: To understand the concept of moment of inertia and how it depends on mass, radius, and mass distribution.
In rigid-body rotational dynamics, the role analogous to the mass of a body (when one is considering translational motion) is played by the body's moment of inertia. For this reason, conceptual understanding of the motion of a rigid body requires some understanding of moments of inertia. This problem should help you develop such an understanding.
The moment of inertia of a body about some specified axis is I = cmr^2, where c is a dimensionless constant, m is the mass of the body, and r is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation. Therefore, if you have two similarly shaped objects of the same size but with one twice as massive as the other, the more massive object should have a moment of inertia twice that of the less massive one. Furthermore, if you have two similarly shaped objects of the same mass, but one has twice the size of the other, the larger object should have a moment of inertia that is four times that of the smaller one.
Two spherical shells have their mass uniformly distrubuted over the spherical surface. One of the shells has a diameter of 2 meters and a mass of 1 kilogram. The other shell has a diameter of 1 meter. What must the mass m of the 1-meter shell be for both shells to have the same moment of inertia about their centers of mass?

Answers

Answer:

 m₂ = 4 kg

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined by

         I = ∫ r² dm

for bodies with high symmetry it is tabulated, for a spherical shell

        I = 2/3 m r²

in this case the first sphere has a radius of r₁ = 2m and a mass of m₁ = 1 kg, the second sphere has a radius r₂ = 1m.

They ask what is the masses of the second spherical shell so that the moment of inertia of the two is the same.

        I₁ = ⅔ m₁ r₁²

        I₂ = ⅔ m₂ r₂²

They ask that the two moments have been equal

        I₁ = I₂

        ⅔ m₁ r₁² = ⅔ m₂ r₂²

         m₂ = (r₁ / r₂) ² m₁

let's calculate

         m₂ = (2/1) ² 1

         m₂ = 4 kg
