Clayton Industries

  

1. Clayton Industries is planning its operations for next year, and Ronnie Clayton, the CEO, wants you to forecast the firm’s additional funds needed (AFN). The firm is operating at full capacity. Data for use in your forecast are shown below. Based on the AFN equation, what is the AFN for the coming year? Dollars are in millions. Last year’s sales = S0 $350 Last year’s accounts payable $40 Sales growth rate = g 30% Last year’s notes payable $50 Last year’s total assets = A0* $500 Last year’s accruals $30 Last year’s profit margin = PM 5% Target payout ratio 60% a. $102.8 b. $108.2 c. $113.9 d. $119.9 e. $125.9 

2. The ABC Corporation’s budgeted monthly sales are $4,000. In the first month, 40% of its customers pay and take the 3% discount. The remaining 60% pay in the month following the sale and don’t receive a discount. ABC’s bad debts are very small and are excluded from this analysis. Purchases for next month’s sales are constant each month at $2,000. Other payments for wages, rent, and taxes are constant at $500 per month. Construct a single month’s cash budget with the information given. What is the average cash gain or (loss) during a typical month for the ABC Corporation? (Points : 20) 

3. The Dewey Corporation has the following data, in thousands. Assuming a 365-day year, what is the firm’s cash conversion cycle? Annual sales = Annual cost of goods sold = Inventory = Accounts receivable = Accounts payable = $45,000 $31,500 $4,000 $2,000 $2,400 a. 25 days b. 28 days c. 31 days d. 35 days e. 38 days 

4. Sapp Trucking’s balance sheet shows a total of noncallable $45 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 7.00% and a yield to maturity of 6.00%. This debt currently has a market value of $50 million. The balance sheet also shows that the company has 10 million shares of common stock, and the book value of the common equity (common stock plus retained earnings) is $65 million. The current stock price is $22.50 per share; stockholders’ required return, rs, is 14.00%; and the firm’s tax rate is 40%. The CFO thinks the WACC should be based on market value weights, but the president thinks book weights are more appropriate. What is the difference between these two WACCs? a. 1.55% b. 1.72% c. 1.91% d. 2.13% e. 2.36% 

5. Zhdanov  INC. forecasts that its free cash flow in the coming year, that is, at t = 1, will be -$10 million, but its FCF at t = 2 will be $20 million. After Year 2, FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% forever. If the weighted average cost of capital is 14%, what is the firm’s value of operations, in millions? a. $158 b. $167 c. $175 d. $184 e. $193

Research report

 

 Need to present a research reports on 

1. Machine learning method

2. User Behavior Analytics (UBA)

 Both reports should be written with a word count of 70-105 words(not more than the count provided) and should provide a URL reference link too . 

Note : NO PLAGIARISM 

Should have minimum of 3 statements which describes the information about the report.

Tips: Should be in simple own words and no usage of critical words and attached the file to know in detail to write on it. This question is from a cyber security subject so that the matter should relate to cyber security for sure and should connect to readers.

GO16_AC_CH02_GRADER_2E_AS – Grants and Organizations

  

Project Description:

In this project, you will use a database to answer questions about grants awarded to a college. You will open and save an existing database, create a relationship between two tables, sort records in a table, create queries in Design view, create queries from existing queries, sort query results, and specify criteria in a query.

     

Start   Access. Open the downloaded file named go_a02_grader_a1_Grants_Organizations.accdb,   and then enable the content.

 

Using   Organization ID as the common field, create a one-to-many relationship   between the Organizations table and the Grants Awarded table. Enforce   referential integrity and enable both cascade options.

 

Create   a relationship report with normal margins, saving it with the default name.   Close all open objects.

 

In   the last record of the Organizations table, change the data in the   Organization ID field from ORG-1527   to ORG-1001, and then close the table. (The   related records in the Grants Awarded table will automatically update.)

 

In the Sorted Grants table, sort the   records first in descending order by the Award Amount field and then in   ascending order by the Department field. Close the table, saving the changes   to the table.

 

Create   a query in Query Design view based on the Grants Awarded table. Add the following   fields to the design grid in the order given: Grant ID, Grant Name, Award   Amount, Type, and Award Date. Run the query, save it as All Grants Query, and then close the query.

 

Copy   the All Grants Query to create a new query with the name Grant Types Query. Redesign the query so that the   following fields display in the order given: Grant ID, Department, Type,   Grant Name, and Award Amount. Sort the records in ascending order by the Type   field and in ascending order by the Grant Name field. Run the query, and then   close the query, saving the changes to the query.

 

Copy   the All Grants Query to create a new query with the name Grants Sort Query. Redesign the query so that the   following fields display in the order given: Grant Name, Department, Award   Amount, and Award Date. Sort the records in ascending order by the Department   field and in descending order by the Award Amount field. Run the query, and   then close the query, saving the changes to the query.

 

Copy   the Grants Sort Query to create a new query with the name All Private Grants Query. Redesign the query so that the   following fields display in the order given: Grant Name, Department, Award   Amount, Award Date, and Type. Sort the records in ascending order only by the   Grant Name field. Set the criteria so that when you run the query only those   records display that have private   as the Type. Do not display the Type field in the query results. Run the   query (11 records display). Close the query, saving the changes to the query.

 

Create   a query in Query Design view based on the Organizations table. Add the   following fields to the design grid in the order given: Organization Name,   Contact Name, and Contact Phone. Sort the records in ascending order by the   Organization Name field. Set the criteria so that when you run the query only   those records display that are missing the contact phone number. Run the   query (two records display). Save the query as Missing Phone   Query,   and then close the query.

 

Be   sure that all database objects are closed, open the Navigation Pane, and then   close Access. Submit the go_a02_grader_a1_Grants_Organizations.accdb   database as directed.
