3.35) The motor A delivers 3000 hp to the shaft at 1500 rev/min, of which 1000 hp is removed by gear B and 2000 hp is removed by gear C . Determine (a) the maximum shear stress in the shaft; and (b) the angle of twist of end D relative to end A . Use G=12x10^6 psi for steel, and assume that friction at bearing D is negligible.

answer is a) A B -Tmax=10,030psi

BC -Tmax=9980psi

b)0.05289rad=3.03 degrees

1. A coach is trying to choose the starting line-up for the basketball team. The team consists of seven players who have been rated (on a scale of 1= poor to 3 excellent) according to their ball-handling, shooting, rebounding, and defensive abilities. The positions that each player is allowed to play (G-guard, C- center, F-forward) and the players abilities are: Player |Position Defense Ability G-F F-C G-F F-C G-F 6 7 Formulate an IP to choose the starting lineup such that the five-player starting line-up satisfies the following restrictions, then solve your IP using python (if you have not taken and are not currently taking python you may use the excel solver - be sure to document this in your homework submission). Submit your python file on canvas and include the optimal solution in vour written submission (a) At least 3 starters must be able to play guard, at least 2 starters must be able to play forward, and at least one starter must be able to play center (b) The average defensive ability of the starting lineup must be at least 2 (c) If player 3 starts, then player 6 cannot start (d) If player 1 starts, then players 4 and 5 must both start (e) Either player 2 or player 3 (or both) must start

Dickinson Brothers, Inc., is considering investing in a machine to produce computer keyboards. The price of the machine will be $986,000, and its economic life is five years. The machine will be fully depreciated by the straight-line method. The machine will produce 31,000 keyboards each year. The price of each keyboard will be $30 in the first year and will increase by 4 percent per year. The production cost per keyboard will be $10 in the first year and will increase by 5 percent per year. The project will have an annual fixed cost of $206,000 and require an immediate investment of $36,000 in net working capital. The corporate tax rate for the company is 35 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 12 percent.

  

What is the NPV of the investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Suppose we are thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The old one cost us $1,320,000; the new one will cost, $1,580,000. The new machine will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will probably be worth about $320,000 after five years.

The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $264,000 per year. It will be completely written off in three years. If we don’t replace it now, we will have to replace it in two years. We can sell it now for $440,000; in two years, it will probably be worth $122,000. The new machine will save us $292,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate is 35 percent, and the discount rate is 10 percent.

a.1

Calculate the EAC for the old computer and the new computer. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

A stock price is currently $36. During each three-month period for the next six months it is expected to increase by 9% or decrease by 8%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. Use a two-step tree to calculate the value of a derivative that pays off (max[(40-ST),0])2 where ST is the stock price in six months.

  1. What are the payoffs at the final nodes of the tree? [1 mark]
  2. Use no-arbitrage arguments (you need to show how to set up the riskless portfolios at the different nodes of the binomial tree). [2 mark]
  3. Use risk-neutral valuation. [1 mark]
  4. Verify whether both approaches lead to the same result. [1 mark]
  5. If the derivative is of American style (ST in the payoff function refers to the stock price when the option is exercised), should it be exercised early? [1 mark]

Problem 2: Option Valuation (18 marks) In this question, you need to price options with various approaches. You will consider puts and calls on a share. Please read following instructions carefully:

• The spot price of this share will be determined by your student number. You need to use the last digit of your student number. The spot price of the share will be 56

• The strike price of the options will be the share price you just calculated +2. Strike Price is (56+2)=58.

Based on this spot price and this strike price as well as the fact that the risk-free interest rate is 6% per annum with continuous compounding, please undertake option valuations and answer related questions according to following instructions: Binomial trees: Additionally, assume that over each of the next two four-month periods, the share price is expected to go up by 11% or down by 10%.

a. Use a two-step binomial tree to calculate the value of an eight-month European call option using the no-arbitrage approach. [2.5 marks]

b. Use a two-step binomial tree to calculate the value of an eight-month European put option using the no-arbitrage approach. [2.5 marks]

c. Show whether the put-call-parity holds for the European call and the European put prices you calculated in a. and b. [1 mark]

d. Use a two-step binomial tree to calculate the value of an eight-month European call option using risk-neutral valuation. [1 mark]

e. Use a two-step binomial tree to calculate the value of an eight-month European put option using risk-neutral valuation. [1 mark]

f. Verify whether the no-arbitrage approach and the risk-neutral valuation lead to the same results. [1 mark]

g. Use a two-step binomial tree to calculate the value of an eight-month American put option. [1 mark] h. Calculate the deltas of the European put and the European call at the different nodes of the binomial three. [1 mark]
