This week we will be doing a Capital Budgeting case. We will combine Case 24 and 25 into one long case where Victoria Chemicals will be dealing with a Mutually Exclusive Capital Budgeting decision.
You should reread the Principles of Finance textbook chapters (and your notes) dealing with the topic of Capital Budgeting and the decision rules used by companies to determine which projects are acceptable (and profitable).
The PPT files for the relevant chapters have been uploaded to Canvas.
Victoria Chemicals is considering upgrading its ageing plants in Merseyside and Rotterdam. Assume that they can do only one right now. You have to analyze all the given information for both plants and recommend one for updating.
The uploaded spreadsheet will help you with the quantitative analysis. Before you do that, there are some issues you have to deal with (qualitatively) in your case report.
In Case 24, there are sections titled Concerns of the Transport Division, Sales and Marketing Dept., Assistant Plant Manager, and Treasury Staff. Without doing any calculations, you have to discuss how the company should deal with each of these issues. You need to determine what is relevant (and what is not) in Capital Budgeting. Remember that to make the decision, you will be calculating NPV for each project using the given spreadsheet.
On page 354 in Case 24, they list four decision rules used by the company. Two of them are incorrect and should never be used in Capital Budgeting. Identify them, and explain why they should not be used.
In Exhibit 1 on page 355, they give you some data about the competing plants in this industry. What do the numbers tell us?
Exhibit 2 on page 356 should be used for the NPV calculations. For simplicity, you can focus only on the NPV numbers, although IRR is calculated at the same time. Some of the assumptions (and numbers) need to be corrected before you get the right NPV. Remember that NPV should be calculated only with the relevant incremental (or marginal) after-tax cash flows. If the cash flow is not relevant or marginal, it should not be used. Also, only real cash flows should be used, and not accounting numbers.
In Case 25, the only ‘issue’ you have to deal with is the option on the right-of-way. Think very carefully about this land purchase decision. What should the company do? Make the appropriate adjustments in the NPV calculations.
Exhibit 1 on pages 362-363 should be used for the NPV calculations. The same rules used in Case 24 apply here. Whatever assumptions you make should be used consistently for both cases.
The ‘Erosion’ numbers given here apply to the Sales Cannibalization effect mentioned in Case 24. If you think it is plausible and relevant, use the same number in both cases to reduce the NPV. Or don’t. You can always have alternate scenarios when calculating NPV for Capital Budgeting Projects.
Make a recommendation after you have done all the analysis. What do you recommend the company should do in the long run? Justify your answer with appropriate arguments and data. Are there any additional factors/issues that you think should be considered in the decision making process?
Upload the spreadsheet as a separate document along with your written case report.

UNIX-file-directory-and-permissions
/in /by JosephThe project team is ready to create the directory structure for the Web site. You are tasked with creating the directories and implementing the security mechanism. For this assignment, you need to create the following directory structure and permissions:
Ensure that you are starting in your individual Home directory:
+- apache/
|
|- bin/
|
|- conf/
|
|- lib/
|
+- www/
|
| – html/
|
| – cgi-bin/
|
| – ftp/
The following file permission should be enabled for the directories:
In addition, create the following empty files and set the following file permissions:
apache/bin/httpd – 755
www/html/index.html – 644
www/cgi-bin/process.pl – 711
Finally, create a file called apache/conf/httpd.conf, and add the following lines to the file:
#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
ServerRoot “/usr”
#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your documents.
#
Save the file and exit the editor. Set the file permission for this file to be: 664.
Show the command used to show content of the file and the content of the file.
Using the grep command, write comment to find the line containing the word(s) ServerRoot and DocumentRoot in the httpd.conf file.
Write a sed command that will change the ServerRoot value from /usr to the absolute directory patch for your apache directory.
Write a sed command that will change the Document value from /Library/WebServer/Documents to the absolute directory patch for your www directory.
Write an awk command that will print only the comment field and the login id of all users in the /etc/passwd file in this format: <Comment Field> – <login id>.
Your submission should include the following, as well as a description about each step (what you did and why you are performing each command) and associated screenshots:

Child and Adolescent psychology writing homework help
/in /by Joseph*Research attached*
This Assignment measures your ability to outline research methods. There are many research designs that are used in developmental research. As discussed in textbook Infants, Children and Adolescents, longitudinal, cross-sectional and sequential designs are used to assess developmental change and to explore developmental topics and changes over time.
This Assignment is composed of two parts:
Part 1:
Think about what you would like to learn about developmental change; then create your own research question that would require using either a longitudinal, cross-sectional, or sequential design. In one page, write out your question and explain which design would be most appropriate to answer the question and why.
Part 2:
Go to the Kaplan online Library and find one longitudinal, cross-sectional, or sequential research article that studies development in infants, children, or adolescents. Be sure that the article that you find is an empirical peer-reviewed article, with an abstract, purpose, methods, results, and a conclusion. If you are unsure about your article choice or have difficulty finding an appropriate article, please contact your instructor for help.
Write a two-page summary of the research. Be sure to address the following questions in your summary:
Clearly identify your chosen article by citing it within the text of the summary and referencing it on a reference page
