1. Two investments (A and B, below) have been proposed to the Capital Investment committee of your organization;
a. The required rate of return for your company is 6%. What is the NPV for each investment? Assume all costs and benefits occur at the beginning of the year indicated.
b. What is the payback period for each investment?
c. Which investment would you recommend and why?

Investment A Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Costs: $125,000 $10,000 $10,000 $10,000 $10,000 $10,000

Benefits: $45,000 $15,000 $10,000 $10,000 $15,000

2. Unfortunately, the Capital Investment Committee refused to approve your recommendation (Problem 1) since you did not consider the uncertainty inherent in these types of investments. You pull out your very dog-eared text from PMAN 635 and repeat your analysis, this time using Crystal Ball and the following information:
a. Investment A:
i. Year 0 Investment cost: Triangular distribution (optimistic: $100,000; most likely: $125,000; pessimistic: $200,000)
ii. Year 1-5 operating cost: Normal distribution (mean of $10,000, standard deviation of $2,000)
iii. Year 1 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $90,000, standard deviation of $20,000)
iv. Year 2 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $55,000, standard deviation of $15,000)
v. Year 3 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $35,000, standard deviation of $10,000)
vi. Year 4 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $20,000, standard deviation of $5000)
vii. Year 5 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $20,000, standard deviation of $5000)
b. Investment B:
i. Year 0 Investment cost: Uniform distribution (Minimum: $65,000; Maximum: $75,000)
ii. Year 1 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $45,000, standard deviation of $20,000)
iii. Year 2 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $15,000, standard deviation of $5,000)
iv. Year 3 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $10,000, standard deviation of $3,000)
v. Year 4 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $10,000, standard deviation of $3,000)
vi. Year 5 Benefits: Normal distribution (mean of $15,000, standard deviation of $5,000)
If the IRR is still 6%, what is the NPV for each investment?

3. Using the forward and backward pass method, identify the Critical Path and total duration for the following network. Show all work.

Task duration Pred
a 10
b 5 a
c 8 a
d 3 b, c

4. For the network below:
a. Calculate T-E and Variance for each activity.
b. Calculate the expected duration of the network. Do not use Crystal Ball.
c. What is the probability the network will take no more than 21 days? Use the Z-table or Excel’s NORMDIST function, not Crystal Ball. Be sure to show all work.

Task Optimistic Duration Most Likely duration Pessimistic Duration T-E Var Pred
a 8 10 14
b 4 5 7 a
c 8 8 9 a
d 3 3 3 b, c

5. The first unit produced by a manufacturer required 6 hours. If the industry uses a 90 percent learning curve rate, how long should the following units take?
a. Unit 2
b. Unit 3
c. Unit 4

6. Please answer discussion question 6 at the end of Chapter 4 of Mantel. Limit your answer to 200 words or less.

7. Enter the tasks and resources in the attached file (Midterm Question 7.doc) into MS Project. Note that there are two tables in this file. What is the total duration and cost for your project? Include your MSP project file with your submission.

8. Please answer each of the following:
a. What is the expected time to complete a task with an optimistic (a), most likely (m), and pessimistic (b) times of 3, 4 and 7 days respectively?
b. What is the standard deviation of the same task, assuming that 99.7% of the outcomes fall between a and b?
c. What is the standard deviation of the same task, assuming that 90% of the outcomes fall between a and b?

9. There are three (and only three) paths through a network (project), each with a probability of completion in less than 24 months as indicated:
• S- a-b-F P1(<24) = .95 • S- d-e-F P2(<24) = .85 • S- g-h-F P3(<24) = .90 a. If the tasks are independent, what is the probability of the project being completed within 24 months? Note: S is the start node, F is the finish node b. What is the probability the project being completed in 24 months or longer? 10. You are a project manager who is reviewing the estimates for the cost of materials. You therefore begin tracking the estimated cost estimates of two procurement specialists and comparing their estimates with the actual costs of the materials once ordered. You obtain the information reflected in the attached tracking table. a. Does the data indicate that either of the two procurement specialists is biased? Which one? In which direction? b. Regardless of bias, does one procurement specialist appear to be more accurate in their estimates than the other? Which one? Be sure to explain your answers. Hint, review the material in Section 4.3 of Mantel. 11. Referring to the project in question 7: a. Using the information contained in the attached file (Midterm Question 11), what is the new duration and cost for the project? You do not have to use MSP to answer this question. Note, since the tasks are laddered, there is only one path through the network. Therefore, TEproject = ?TE activities and the VARproject = ?VARactivities. b. Using Table 5-7 in Mantel, what is the probability that you can finish the project in 115 days? 12. Referring back to Question 2, you have proudly submitted your analysis of investments A and B. You are called back in to the Capital Investment Committee for what you assume will be to receive their gracious thanks for a job well done. Unfortunately, you realize there is a new member on the committee and you recognize a former Professor of yours from UMUC. He is still wearing both a belt and suspenders, so you are not surprised at his first question: “And what is the 90% solution?” You realize he is really asking for the value that each investment will exceed 90% of the time? Fortunately, you still have access to crystal ball, so you whip out your laptop and… a. Well, what is the answer for Investment A? b. And, what is the answer for Investment B?

Softy Furnishing Ltd (SF) is a small local firm which produces a number of decorative items for the home including cushions, curtains and bed linen. Hoping to bring its brand image up to date, the firm has just employed Roz who, straight from University, has some great ideas about how the firm’s products can be recreated to bring a modern feel to the home and how working practices can be brought up to date. Abbie has been a machinist at the firm for three years and has always enjoyed being allowed to plod along with her work, machining seams on cushions. Roz has brought in some new (very fast equipment) to speed up production but Abbie is refusing to use the machines as she says that as she was trained on more manual machines she should be allowed to continue to use them. Roz has promised training but Abbie says that she is happy to continue with what she is doing. Roz also wants to make changes in the warehouse however she often feels intimidated by the lads working in there. Dennis, Roz’s line manager has now told her that any changes she wants to make in the warehouse must go through him and that he will deal with the men in that part of the firm. Roz is not happy with this and tells him so but Dennis says that his decision is final and for her own good.
Roz is also having problems with Shabana who, in Roz’s eyes is lazy. Shabana has been employed with the firm since September 2013. Dennis has agreed with Roz that they cannot afford to keep people on if they are not pulling their weight and therefore tells Roz that she can dismiss Shabana but to make sure she gets her full notice entitlement.
Question 1 Advise Abbie as to whether she is obliged to use the new equipment.

Question 2 Advise Roz as to any action she can take in relation to the comments made by Dennis

For this assessment please ignore any reference to Shabana.

*Some guidance on Assessment Criteria

To achieve a pass on each of the questions there must be some evident knowledge and understanding of the relevant law and, as they are problem questions, some attempt to apply it. The better the explanation of the law and the better the ability to apply and discuss it (including the citation of relevant primary sources and similar cases), the higher the mark to be awarded. Detailed facts of cases are not expected unless this is inherently required by the question, because of its similarity to/distinguishability from a previously decided case, or doing so assists the explanation of the law.
For an answer to be awarded a mark in the upper second/first class range it must, among other criteria, explain and apply/evaluate the law correctly and coherently and generally cite relevant legal sources and authorities (some deduction should be made for inappropriate use of old Acts/Regs but an otherwise good answer could still get a reasonably good mark). Conclusions, which are consistent with the discussion, should be provided along with an explanation of any remedies that may be awarded (if applicable). Evidence of wider research, a fuller understanding and a strong analytical ability should be evident for a first class mark.

footnotes : Should be used to reference sources.
Referencing: must reference sources using the Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA) .
use Arial (point12).

In class we read the Mystic River book of Denis Lehane and then watched the movie of it by Clint Eastwood(you can find it online if you didn’t watch it)
Our professor wants us to compare the differences and similarities in both book and movie but not by the plot or basic stuff as they are similar. Please compare the role of the women (Celeste, Annabeth) in the book and movie, the backgrounds of the characters (Jimmy, Sean, Dave, where they live, what kind of family they have) and the characteristics of these people rather than saying in movie he dies like this but in the book its different.

Purpose: Comparing and contrasting is an important academic skill. It allows writers to draw rich connections between disparate ideas and to hone broad ideas to a sharp focus. But comparing and contrasting also poses a unique set of organizational challenges. In this assignment, you will practice thinking in terms of differences and similarities and presenting these differences and similarities in a balanced and organized way.

Please give abundant quotations and enough evidence in supporting every idea. My professor wants a clear thesis statement at the end of the introduction and topic and conclusion sentences for every paragraph.
Please include 2 body paragraphs about the difference and the third one as the similarity.
In the similarity paragraph please also talk about the common theme.
Please start with a hook to the introduction and write an effective conclusion.
Please use the perfect MLA format as my professor gives a lot of importance.
Please make sure to write full 5 pages
Please use sophisticated vocabulary
Please give specific examples with the characters and give a profound understanding with short quotations.
I added two files, one is the review of the movie by New York Times and the other document is an interview with Denis Lehane about the book.
Please read these two files and give reference and quotations from these in supporting the essay. (please include the book, the movie, the interview, the review in work cited) 4 sources

New York Times review link online: http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9904E2DA173CF930A35753C1A9659C8B63

Interview with Denis Lehane is attached.

Instructions of my Professor: As you shape your comparison / contrast, you should deepen your argument with research. What relevant background can you give about the novel and film? Who else has written about them? Do you agree with them? Disagree? Both?

You should move gradually from a working thesis that aspects of the the novel or film are superior to a more specific thesis that explicitly states your major reasons. We’ll have a thesis workshop in class.

You are charged with evaluating the literature, so do not hesitate to make claims about the quality of the texts you examine, backing up these claims with clear reasons and convincing evidence.

Make sure to be fair and objective when stating an opposing claim. Feel free to concede any points you cannot disprove. Use a “devil’s advocate” position (summarize an imaginary opposing argument as in “A reader might argue that . . . ”) only if you cannot find a real source with an opposing argument. You could present the opposing argument before your refutation (as in a “classical argument”) or after you state and argue for your own position.
