EXERCISESI. Match the following items and the text. They refer to preparing and sending the paper.1. Choice of the journal ………………………….2. Guidelines …………………………3. Length of the paper …………………………4 . Cover letter ………………………….5. Declaration ………………………….6. Confirmation of receipt ………………………….7. Review process ………………………….a) The usual length of a paper is about 6,000 to 9,000 words, i.e., about 6 to 9 pages (however, mathematics papers can be longer). Do not exceed this figure because some journals may return the paper for shortening. One journal page = 1,000 words.b) The journal´s editor will confirm that the contribution has been received and will forward it to a reviewer who will then judge the quality of the paper and often also your English.c) Almost all journals now appear also in electronic form. Your supervisor will know which journal in your field is the most suitable for you. You can also find one when searching for papers by keywords. However, not all the papers you find in this way give the name of the journal.d) All journals inform about their publication policy on their web pages. They give detailed information to authors on how to prepare a paper for submission and even offer a form/template for electronic submission.e) Some journals will publish a paper only if a statement is attached saying that the paper presents an original contribution to the researched problem and that the facts have not been published elsewhere. (See Exercise XXXIV.)f) To submit the paper, check if the journal accepts papers only in electronic form (which is becoming prevailing practice) or if a hard copy is to be sent as well. It is polite to accompany the paper with a short cover letter (sometimes a blank space is left on the submission form). (See also Guidelines for Academic Writing: How to write a formal letter).g) After the paper has been peer-reviewed, you will most probably be asked to revise some sections or parts and to work on your English, i.e. correct language errors, change some formulations or even the style, as required by the journal. When you have done that, send the paper back and wait for the announcement that it has been accepted for publication. TitleII. What errors can you find in the following titles?1.

Study the following text.A systematic modelling and simulation approach for JIT performance optimisationRobust computer-aided simulation and modelling tools help to visualise, analyse and optimise complex production processes with a reasonable amount of time and investment. Areview of the literature shows that simulation and modelling have not been extensivelyapplied in just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing environments. Also there remains a lack of a comprehensive mechanism to identify the most significant JIT drivers for the purpose ofsystem process optimisation. The prime objective of this study is to close this gap byapplying computer based simulation tools and linear mathematical modelling to identify theimpact of selected key JIT parameters on performance in an automotive component—manufacturing environment. Research shows that variables such as inconsistent task distribution, variation on operator performance, misconception of total quality managementphilosophy and lack of set-up time elimination plans disrupt ideal JIT production. In thisstudy, ProModel simulation and modelling software is used to model and simulate different experimental scenarios in order to understand and quantify the impact of selected input keyJIT variables on objective functions (i.e. process time and takt time). The outcome is a robust mathematical model that highlights the significance of JIT drivers in the manually operatedmixed-model assembly lines.(From Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, vol. 24, 2008, p. 735)Which lines describe1. the topic ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..2. the background ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….3. the method(s) and approach ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….4. the results ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….5. the conclusion …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Give the numbers of the lines and the first words of the first sentence(s).VII. The paragraphs in the following abstract have been scrambled.i. Rearrange them so that they form a cohesive text.ii. Suggest a title and keywords.a) Here, we focused on developing a method to detect a person trying to illegally cross the border by hiding in a car.b) Due to the high sensitivity of the pressure sensor, consideration was given to the effect of external disturbances such as ground vibration and wind force acting on the car.c) The proposed method is based on pneumatics. A silicon tube (inner diameter 4mm) with one end plugged by a highly sensitive pressure sensor and the other end capped is sandwiched between two rigid boards and placed on the ground at the entrance gate of the border.d) This paper describes a novel method for detecting the presence of a person hiding in a car. One of the important strategies of homeland security is border control. In particular, strict and effective monitoring to control illegal immigration is a key strategy for maintaining public safety and a healthy local economy, and is essential for preventing the entry of terrorists.e) Here, we propose a heartbeat detection filter robust against disturbances but sensitive to the heartbeat signal and an index to discriminate between the presence and non-presence of a person, and we present the experimental results obtained using the proposed method under various disturbance conditions.f) When one wheel of the car is on the board and the engine is stopped, the pressure sensor can detect human vital signs such as heartbeat, which cannot be concealed.(From IEEE Sensors Journal, vol. 11, no. 9, Sept. 2011, p. 1872)i. 1. ….. 2. ….. 3. ….. 4. ….. 5. ….. 6. …..ii. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………VIII. Imagine you are someone interested in renewable energy sources, especially wind power. Read the following abstract written by a student and say whether you would/would not like to read the whole paper and why. Is there any information you miss? Comparison of the Abstract with the Conclusion might be helpful.AbstractWind power plants must provide the same power quality as other power plants. Special attention is paid to the requirement of supplied energy stability because wind power plants are connected to the grid. It is very important to understand the sources of disturbances that affect power quality. The main parameters monitored are frequency and voltage, which have to be kept as stable as possible. The current and power can also be measured. However, the relationship between voltage quality and energy quality is unknown.Now read the conclusion.ConclusionFrom the measurements described above it is obvious that the wind turbine operation agrees with the EN 50160 standard. The only problem arose with flicker as the measured data were not realistic. Consequently, flicker will have to be measured again. All the other parameters did, however, meet the standard.………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………IX.

The regional setting is dynamic.2. Internet use and the general demand for information technology (IT) hardware and services in the Middle East are growing, with a projected market value of 8.9 billion dollars by 2005 [1].3. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) accounted for about 59% of 2001 demand and as much as 64% of the future forecast.4. In 2001, the launching of Egypt´s first free Internet service provider Noorillustrated wide commitment to market opportunities. 5. It is no wonder that the Internet and burgeoning world of e-commerce and Net-enhancement are viewed as engines of economic growth for Egypt in the 21st century, and why Arab countries such as Egypt are exemplars of how to leapfrog [2] into the IT era [3]. 6. While it is easy to ride this wave of enthusiasm for innovations such as the Internet, failing to understand the factors that influence diffusion at the micro level is still a threat. 7. Past experience shows that technology diffusion is not a straightforward process [4]. 8. Based on prior theoretical work, our field study gathered quantitative and qualitative data from Arab knowledge workers and top and middle-level managers, nearly all of whom were Internet-savvy. 9.

Following this, the flow rate was reduced to 100sccm and the humidity was increased by 825 ppm every 60 minutes, for seven hours. Theresults of this experiment are depicted in Fig. 4.With the initial application of 825 ppm humid air, the normal frequency shift of the pureSH-SAW resonator is 11.9 ppm. For each subsequent 825 increase in humidity thereafter, the normalized frequency shift changes by less than 5.1 ppm.(From IEEE Sensors Journal, vol. 11, no. 9, Sept. 2011, p. 1772)2.Fig. 4 shows the sensing device used in the verification experiments. Forty-eightrectangular shaped spacers with dimensions 400x30x10 mm are set on the base board. Thespacers are made of a soft, sponge type material.

The distribution is similar to that shown in Fig. 10 when no one was in thesedan-type car. 5. The most frequent distribution is concentrated around F = 0.015. 6. As canbe seen from the histogram in Fig. 11(a)-(e), index F decreases in proportion to the distancebetween the person´s position and the sensing device board. 7. This is because the signalattenuates in proportion to the distance. 8. However, when a person is in the car, even aslight body movement provides a greater value of index F. 9. Thus, the distribution is morewidely spread than when no one is in the car. 10. Even with the difference in histogramdistribution due to the different cars and hiding positions, there was still a clear difference indistribution when people were in the car and when no one was in the car. 11.

What is their purpose?Development of Sensing Device to Detect Persons Hiding in a Car1. From the histograms in Figs. 9-11, we considered how to set a threshold T h for judging the presence or non-presence of a person hiding in the car. …………………………………….. . For both the sedan and the camper, if index F is less than 0.12, there is a 90% probability that no one is hiding in the vehicle.2. The results do not perfectly discriminate between the presence and non-presence of a person due to the disturbance from the dynamic pressure of wind and ground vibration. If the inspection was conducted in a closed area, the judgment accuracy would be improved. Nonetheless, by identifying the high probability of a concealed person, a more detailed inspection could be carried out, which would make the inspection procedure more efficient.3. Regarding detection time, the X-ray method requires shorter time than this system, but [6] indicates the danger of using the X-ray method for finding illegal immigrants because of their exposure to X-rays. This system needs more detection time than X-ray because the system requires the drivers and all fellow passengers to get out of the vehicles, but compared with the hands-on searching by border officers, the system can reduce the detection time without the dangers such as the exposure to radiation.(From IEEE Sensors Journal, vol. 11, no. 9, Sept. 2011, pp. 1876 – 1878)1. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..2. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….3. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

First read the extracts from the following Introduction. Then study the Conclusion. Compare the extracts with the Conclusion and say whether the Conclusion provides answers to the problem as stated in the Introduction.Development of Sensing Device to Detect Persons Hiding in a CarIntroductionIllegal immigration from neighboring countries is a serious problem ………………………………. . Accurate devices to quickly and easily find people hiding in vehicles are necessary to maintain strict border control as well as make the illegal immigration procedure more effective.Generally, a border officer checks the inside and/or outside of a vehicle to determine if anyone is hiding there. ……………………………………… . Alternatives to this manual method have been considered, such as the X-ray equipment …………………………………… [4] and …………………… …………………… [5]. However, these methods require a high initial cost …………………………………. . Moreover, the danger of using the X-ray method for finding illegal immigrants is indicated because the illegal immigrants would be exposed to X-rays [6]. A simpler method which uses microvibrations to detect a concealed person has been proposed [7]. We also proposed a similar method ………………………………. [8].These methods, however, are sensitive not only to human microvibrations but also to external disturbances such as ground vibration and wind force acting on the vehicle.This paper describes a novel pneumatic method that uses silicon air tubes and a low-frequency condenser microphone as a pressure sensor highly sensitive to the heartbeat signals of a person hiding in a vehicle but robust against external disturbances such as。

命题人:倪新华AIncreasingly, over the past ten years, people--- especially young people –have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, especially processed food(加工过的食品), is not good for the health. As a result, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives(添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers(化肥), widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple words, this means that the soil has been nourished(给…营养) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in commercial farming area.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry(家禽):there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other sides of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually unnecessary food. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Y et all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fibre.1. People have become more interested in natural foods because______.A. they want to keep healthyB. they want to taste all kinds of foodsC. natural foods are more delicious than processed foodsD. they want to return to nature2. Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that _____.A. they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB. they live in very crowded conditionC. the eggs they produce lack vitaminsD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely3. According to the passage, ______.A. people can only find sugar to give them energyB. sugar is bad for the healthC. the use of sugar is habit formingD. sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing usefulBSweet potatoes are fat-free, high in fiber and full of the vitamins that research suggests reduce your risk of life-shortening diseases. To stay healthy, we must eat more fruits and vegetables, and sweet potatoes are a great source of beta carotene(胡萝卜素)and other carotenoids(which the body turns into vitamin A). According to a study of the diets of almost 90,000 nurses, eating about one cup a day of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids can cut your risk of stroke in half and reduce your risk of heart disease by 22 percent. Other research suggests beta carotene protects against breast, lung and stomach cancers. Beta carotene is the most famous member of the carotenoids family. In face, a medium-sized sweet potato contains nearly 12mg of beta carotene(anti-aging experts usually suggest 6 to 11 mg per day). Sweet potatoes are also a low-fat source of vitamin E. Research has linked high E diets with a lower risk of heart disease. This vitamin pill in an orange jacket also packs a vitamin C punchit which has more C than apricots (a kind of fruit). Research suggests that vitamin C protects against ailments (小疾) ranging from cataracts(an eye disease) to cancer. In addition, a UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) study linked high vitamin C diets with a longer life. Recent studies have showed that antioxidant Vitamins C, E and beta carotene fight a fierce battle against free radicals (自由基),which cause cell (细胞)damage and lead to various illness. Therefore, to keep fit, eat more sweet potatoes.4. According to the text, there exists a lot of ______in sweet potatoes.A. fiber, beta carotene, other carotenoids, V itamin E and CB. beta carotene, other carotenoids, fiber, V itamin A and EC. V itamin A, beta carotene, fiber, V itamin E and CD. beta carotene, other carotenoids, V itamin A and E5. This text as a whole suggests that eating sweet potatoes can help______.A. cut your risk of stroke and heart diseaseB. protect against breast, lung and stomach cancersC. protect against ailments ranging from cataracts to cancersD. you stay healthy and reduce your risk of life-shortening diseases6 ― This vitamin pill in an orange jacket‖in the passage refers to______.A. sweet potatoB. vitamin C pillC. vitamin E pillD. beta carotene7.

However, a future Internet of Things can provide a broader vision and also enable everyone to access and contribute rich information about things and locations. The success of social networks to share experience and personalized insights shows also great potential for integration with business-centric applications. The integration and interoperability with mainstream business software platforms can be enhanced and extended by real-time analytics, business intelligence and agent-based autonomous services. I nformation sharing may be rewarded through incentives, thus transforming the I nternet of Things from a cost-focused experiment to a revenue-generating infrastructure to enable trading of enriched information and accelerate business innovation. Mash-ups and end-user programming will enable people to contribute to the I nternet of Things with data, presentation and functionality. Things-generated physical world content and events from Auto-ID, sensors, actuators or meshed networks will be aggregated and combined with information from virtual worlds, such as business databases and Web 2.0 applications, and processed based on new business intelligence concepts. Direct action on the physical world will be supported through machine-interfaces and introduction of agile strategies. This chapter aims to provide a concept for a future architecture of the Internet of Things, including a definition, a review of developments, a list of key requirements and a technical design for possible implementation of the future Internet of Things. As open issues, the evaluation of usability by stakeholders in user-centric as well as business-centric scenarios is discussed and the need for quantifying costs and benefits for businesses, consumers, society and the environment is emphasized. Finally, guidelines are derived, for use by researchers as well as practitioners.(1) What does the success of social networks to share experience and personalized insights show?(2) What will Mash-ups and end-user programming do?(3) How can the integration and interoperability with mainstream business software platforms be enhanced and extended?(4) How will direct action on the physical world be supported?(5) What can a future Internet of Things do?(6) What have many of the initial developments towards the Internet of Things focused on?。
exercise用法及固定搭配
exercise用法及固定搭配Hey, friend! Let's talk about "exercise" today. You know, "exercise" is one of those words that's super important in our daily lives.When we talk about "exercise" as a verb, it means to do physical activities to make your body stronger and healthier. For example, I exercise every morning. I run around the park, feeling the fresh air on my face. It's like I'm having a conversation with nature while I exercise. And you? Do you exercise? Maybe you prefer to exercise in a gym, lifting weights or using those fancy exercise machines.One common fixed - up with "exercise" as a verb is "exercise caution." Oh man, this is really crucial! Imagine you're crossing a busy street. You have to exercise caution, just like when you're doing a new and difficult exercise routine. You don't want to rush into it without thinking. It's like walking on thin ice. You gotta be careful.Another one is "exercise control." Let's say you really love chocolate cake, but you know it's not so good for you if you havetoo much. So you need to exercise control over your desire to eat it all the time. It's a battle within yourself, like a little angel and a little devil sitting on your shoulders. The angel is telling you to exercise control, and the devil is saying "Just one more slice!"Now, when "exercise" is a noun, it refers to the activity itself. There are all kinds of exercises. There's aerobic exercise, like dancing or cycling. My sister loves aerobic exercise. She says it makes her feel like she has wings and can fly. And then there's strength - building exercise. My brother is all about that. He wants to look like those superheroes in the movies. He's always doing push - ups and sit - ups.A great fixed phrase with "exercise" as a noun is "do exercise." It's so simple yet so important. We should all do exercise regularly. If we don't, it's like leaving a beautiful garden uncared for. It'll just wither away. There's also "take exercise," which means pretty much the same thing. It's like choosing to take a journey to a healthier you.In a school or work setting, we often hear about "exercise books." These are the notebooks where we write down ourthoughts, our lessons, or our work tasks. It's a different kind of "exercise" in a way. It's like exercising our minds instead of our bodies. You know, like when you're trying to solve a really tough math problem. It's mental exercise.There are also some expressions related to exercise that are a bit more complex. For instance, "exercise one's rights." In a democratic society, we can exercise our rights to vote, to speak freely, and so on. It's like having a superpower, but we have to use it responsibly. If we don't exercise our rights, it's like having a magic wand but never using it. What a waste!Another one is "exercise an option." In the business world, people often have options in contracts. They can exercise an option to buy or sell something. It's like having a key to a treasure chest, but you have to decide when to use that key.Exercise is not just about getting fit physically. It can also be about improving our mental state. When I exercise, I feel less stressed. It's like all my worries are sweating out of me. And I'm sure you've felt that way too, or at least you will if you start exercising more.Some people think that exercise is a chore. Oh, come on! It's not like that at all. It's like a gift you give to yourself. It's time for you to focus on yourself, to improve yourself. You know those days when you just don't feel like doing anything? Well, that's when exercise can be your best friend. It'll pick you up and give you the energy you need.In conclusion, "exercise" whether as a verb or a noun, has a whole bunch of meanings and fixed phrases associated with it. It's an essential part of our lives, like the fuel in a car that keeps us going. So, don't be lazy. Get out there and exercise! Whether it's physical exercise to keep your body in shape or mental exercise to keep your mind sharp, it's all good.。

雅思c11t1s1阅读原文
雅思c11t1s1阅读原文英文回答:The reading passage in IELTS Cambridge 11 Test 1 Section 1 discusses the topic of urban planning and the impact it has on the environment. The passage explains that urban planning plays a crucial role in creating sustainable and livable cities. It highlights the importance of considering environmental factors such as air quality, green spaces, and transportation systems when designing urban areas.One example mentioned in the passage is the city of Curitiba in Brazil. The city's urban planning focused on creating an efficient public transportation system, which reduced the number of cars on the road and minimized air pollution. As a result, Curitiba became a model city for sustainable urban development.Another example is the city of Freiburg in Germany. Thepassage mentions that Freiburg implemented a comprehensive urban planning strategy that prioritized sustainable energy sources and green architecture. The city now generates a significant portion of its energy from renewable sources and has become a leader in sustainable urban design.These examples demonstrate how effective urban planning can positively impact the environment. By considering factors such as transportation, energy sources, and green spaces, cities can create a more sustainable and livable environment for their residents.中文回答:雅思第11册第1套第1篇阅读原文讨论了城市规划对环境的影响。

Risk, Cost of Capital, and Capital Budgeting5. 【Calculating WACC】Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 55 percent common stock and 45 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 16 percent, and the cost of debt is 9 percent. The relevant tax rate is 35 percent. What is Mullineaux’s WACC?11. Finding the WACC Given the following information for Huntington Power Co., find the WACC. Assume the company’s tax rate is 35 percent.Debt: 4,000 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, selling for 103 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments.Common stock: 90,000 shares outstanding, selling for $57 per share; the beta is 1.10.Market: 8 percent market risk premium and 6 percent risk-free rate.12. 【Finding the WACC】Titan Mining Corporation has 9 million shares of common stock outstanding and 120,000 8.5 percent semiannual bonds outstanding, par value $1,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $34 per share and has a beta of 1.20, and the bonds have 15 years to maturity and sell for 93 percent of par. The market risk premium is 10 percent, T-bills are yielding 5 percent, and Titan Mining’s tax rate is 35 percent.a. What is the firm’s market value capital structure?b. If Titan Mining is evaluating a new in vestment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?13. 【SML and WACC】An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:The T-bill rate is 5 percent, and the expected return on the market is 12 percent.a. Which projects have a higher expected return than the firm’s 12 percent cost of capital?b. Which projects should be accepted?c. Which projects would be incorrectly accepted or rejected if the firm’s overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?16. 【W ACC and NPV】Photochronograph Corporation (PC) manufactures time series photographic equipment. It is currently at its target debt-equity ratio of 1.3. It’s considering building a new $45 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate aftertax cash flows of$5.7 million in perpetuity. There are three financing options:1. A new issue of common stock. The required return on the company’s equity is 17 percent.2. A new issue of 20-year bonds. If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 9 percent, they will sell at par.3. Increased use of accounts payable financing. Because this financing is part of the company’s ongoing daily business, the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC. Management has a target ratio of accounts payable to long-term debt of .20. (Assume there is no difference between the pretax and aftertax accounts payable cost.)What is the NPV of the new plant? Assume that PC has a 35 percent tax rate.Solutions5. Using the equation to calculate the WACC, we find:WACC = .60 (.16) + .40(.09)(1 – .35) = .1194 or 11.94%11.We will begin by finding the market value of each type of financing. We find:MV D = 4,000($1,000)(1.03) = $4,120,000MV E = 90,000($57) = $5,130,000And the total market value of the firm is:V = $4,120,000 + 5,130,000 = $9,250,000Now, we can find the cost of equity using the CAPM. The cost of equity is:R E = .06 + 1.10(.08) = .1480 or 14.80%The cost of debt is the YTM of the bonds, so:P0 = $1,030 = $35(PVIFA R%,40) + $1,000(PVIF R%,40)R = 3.36%YTM = 3.36% × 2 = 6.72%And the aftertax cost of debt is:R D = (1 – .35)(.0672) = .0437 or 4.37%Now we have all of the components to calculate the W ACC. The W ACC is:WACC = .0437(4.12/9.25) + .1480(5.13/9.25) = .1015 or 10.15%Notice that we didn’t include the (1 – t C) term in the WACC equation. We simply used the aftertax cost of debt in the equation, so the term is not needed here.12. a.We will begin by finding the market value of each type of financing. We find:MV D = 120,000(元1,000)(0.93) = 元111,600,000MV E = 9,000,000(元34) = 元306,000,000And the total market value of the firm is:V = 元111,600,000 + 306,000,000 = 元417,600,000 So, the market value weights of the company’s financing is: D/V = 元111,600,000/元417,600,000 = .2672E/V = 元111,600,000/元417,600,000 = .7328b.For projects equally as risky as the firm itself, the WACC should be used as thediscount rate.First we can find the cost of equity using the CAPM. The cost of equity is:R E = .05 + 1.20(.10) = .1700 or 17.00%The cost of debt is the YTM of the bonds, so:P0 = 元930 = 元42.5(PVIFA R%,30) + 元1,000(PVIF R%,30)R = 4.69%YTM = 4.69% × 2 = 9.38%And the aftertax cost of debt is:R D = (1 – .35)(.0938) = .0610 or 6.10%Now we can calculate the WACC as:WACC = .1700(.7328) + .0610 (.2672) = .1409 or 14.09%13. a.Projects X, Y and Z.ing the CAPM to consider the projects, we need to calculate the expected returnof each project given its level of risk. This expected return should then be comparedto the expected return of the project. If the return calculated using the CAPM ishigher than the project expected return, we should accept the project; if not, wereject the project. After considering risk via the CAPM:E[W] = .05 + .60(.12 – .05) = .0920 < .11, so accept WE[X] = .05 + .90(.12 – .05) = .1130 < .13, so accept XE[Y] = .05 + 1.20(.12 – .05) = .1340 < .14, so accept YE[Z] = .05 + 1.70(.12 – .05) = .1690 > .16, so reject Zc. Project W would be incorrectly rejected; Project Z would be incorrectly accepted.16.We can use the debt-equity ratio to calculate the weights of equity and debt. The debt of thecompany has a weight for long-term debt and a weight for accounts payable. We can use the weight given for accounts payable to calculate the weight of accounts payable and the weight of long-term debt. The weight of each will be:Accounts payable weight = .20/1.20 = .17Long-term debt weight = 1/1.20 = .83Since the accounts payable has the same cost as the overall WACC, we can write theequation for the W ACC as:WACC = (1/2.3)(.17) + (1.3/2.3)[(.20/1.2)W ACC + (1/1.2)(.09)(1 – .35)]Solving for WACC, we find:WACC = .0739 + .5652[(.20/1.2)WACC + .0488]WACC = .0739 + (.0942)W ACC + .0276(.9058)W ACC = .1015WACC = .1132 or 11.32%Since the cash flows go to perpetuity, we can calculate the future cash inflows using the equation for the PV of a perpetuity. The NPV is:NPV = –$45,000,000 + ($5,700,000/.1132)NPV = –$45,000,000 + 50,372,552 = $5,372,552。
