As you plan for a negotiation, you need to anticipate the other party’s questions and objections.

Power and politics are neither good nor bad; it is how they are used.

 An investmet project requires initial investment of 100,000. There are three possible outcomes for this project: 1) 5% probability of sucees that investment yields annual income of 40,000 for eigth years (starting from year 1 to year 8) and zero salvage value 2) 35% probability of sucees that investment yields annual income of 28,000 for eigth years (starting from year 1 to year 8) and zero salvage value3) 60% probability of failure that yields zero annual income but salvage value of 70,000 dollar at the end of year 1 Considering minimum ROR 12%, calculate the expected NPV and explain if this investment is satisfactory. Explain your work in detail including all the required equations and calculations.

  An investment project has the following cash flow:   C0=$15,000 C1=$12,000 C2=$10,000  I3=$8,500  I4=$8,000  I5=$7,500  I6=$7,000  I7=$7,000  I8=$7,000 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 C: Cost, I: Income Consider escalation rate of 12% for the costs, escalation rate of 8% for incomes and inflation rate of 6% Calculate the ROR for constant dollar cash flow of this investment project. Explain your work in detail including all the required equations and calculations.

For an investment with the following cash flow, calculate the NPV, Benefit Cost Ratio, and Present Value Ratio at a minimum discount rate of 10%. And conclude if this is an economically satisfactory investment. Please show your work.  C=4,000 C=3,000 C=2,000 I=2,800 I=3,200 I=3,600 I=3,800 L=$4,000 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 C: Cost, I: Income, L: Salvage value (incurred at the end of the sixth year)

An investor has two alternatives A and B. Also the other opportunities exist at 16% minimum rate return. The total money available for investment is 80,000 and cash flow for alternative A and B are displayed in following tables:     Project A:  C=$40,000  I=$20,000  I=$20,000  I=$20,000  I=$20,000  I=$20,000  I=$20,000 L=$16,000 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Project B:  C=$80,000  I=$24,000  I=$24,000  I=$24,000  I=$24,000  I=$24,000  I=$24,000 L=$60,000 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 C: Cost, I:Income, L:Salvage   Using ROR and NPV analysis, which investment is economically better? Please include the incremental analysis and show all your work. 

 Please calculate the APR for a loan with the following conditions:  $25,000 loan with an interest rate of 6% compounded annually and a repayment period of 8 years. The costs deducted at the time of taking the loan (present time) include 2 points and a loan originating fee of 150 dollars.   

The GAP dehydrogenase (glycolysis step 6) reaction is shown below. Which of the following is false feature of this step? A) A hydride ion is transferred from the substrate to NAD+ B) Inorganic phosphate acts as the electrophile to attack C1 of GAP C) NAD+ must be available for this step or glycolysis will come to a halt.  

In the pentose phosphate pathway, the major products are ____________A) Ribulose and NADPHB) Ribulose and NADHC) Ribulose and NAD+D) Ribulose and ATP
