This case study looks at the behavior of a circuit board process through the use of control charts. At least two control charts will need to be constructed, and from them you will be asked to provide an assessment of what you see. Problem Statement Fujiyama Electronics, Inc. has had difficulties with circuit boards purchased from an outside supplier. Unacceptable variability occurs between two drilled holes that are supposed to be 5 cm apart on the circuit boards. Thirty samples of four boards each were taken from shipments from the supplier as shown in the data from the worksheet below. Data in the worksheet below can also be accessed in Doc Sharing in a file named Fujiyama Electronics Sample Data.

Create X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts from the data in the table above. Discuss notable out-of-control conditions displayed in the completed X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts. Only consider points outside the control limits. Do not consider runs, set of points within certain zones, and so forth. If the conditions you note could be defined as assignable conditions, and they are removed from the process, then what will happen to the X-Bar•R Control Chart? Remove the data related to the out-of-control points you observed from the original data, and recalculate new X-Bar-Bar, R-Bar, and associated control limits. Create new X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts from your updated data. Discuss how the two sets of Control Charts are different. What has changed?

Will you be able to finish this for me today. Sorry for such short noticeCan You Please Re-Dothis for me…..This is too close to the actual solutions. Can you possibly finish this for metoday. Sorry for the Short Notice Chapter17: Problems 17, 18 and 28 17.Interactionbetween Financing and Investment. Charleston Corp. is consideringestablishing a subsidiary in either Germany or the United Kingdom. Thesubsidiary will be mostly financed with loans from the local banks in the hostcountry chosen. Charlestonhas determined that the revenue generated from the British subsidiary will beslightly more favorable than the revenue generated by the German subsidiary,even after considering tax and exchange rate effects. The initial outlaywill be the same, and both countries appear to be politically stable. Charleston decides to establish the subsidiary in the United Kingdombecause of the revenue advantage. Do you agree with its decision? Explain. Charleston neglected the cost of financing thesubsidiary. It may be more costly to finance a subsidiary in the UnitedKingdom than a subsidiary in Germany when using the local debt of the hostcountry as the primary source of funds. When considering the cost offinancing, a subsidiary in the United Kingdomcould be less favorable than a subsidiary in Germany, based on the informationprovided in this question. 18.Financing Decision. In recent years,several U.S. firms havepenetrated Mexico'smarket. One of the biggest challenges is the cost of capital to financebusinesses in Mexico.Mexican interest rates tend to be much higher than U.S. interest rates. In someperiods, the Mexican government does not attempt to lower the interest ratesbecause higher rates may attract foreign investment in Mexican securities. How might U.S.-based MNCs expand in Mexico without incurring the high Mexican interest expenses when financing the expansion? Are any disadvantages associated with this strategy? Theparents of the MNCs could provide funding for the subsidiaries by investingtheir own capital. This involves convertingdollars to pesos for use in Mexico. In this case, the parent has more atstake. As the Mexican subsidiary remitsfunds back to the U.S.parent, it will remit larger amounts if it does not finance with pesos becausethe financing came from the U.S.(no cash outflows are needed to cover interest payments in pesos). Thus, the MNC is exposed to a higher level ofexchange rate risk. b. Arethere any additional alternatives for the Mexican subsidiary to finance itsbusiness itself after it has been well established? How might this strategy affect thesubsidiary’s capital structure? Once thesubsidiary has generated earnings, it can retain the earnings and reinvest themto finance future operations. Thisstrategy emphasizes equity financing and would result in an equity-intensivecapital structure for the subsidiary. 28.Portugal. Sandusky Co. has no other international business. It finances itsoperations with 40% equity and the remainder of funds with dollar-denominateddebt. It borrows its funds from a U.S. bank at an interest rate of 9 percentper year. The long-term risk-free rate in the U.S. is 6 percent. The long-termrisk-free rate in Portugalis 11 percent. The stock market return in the U.S. is expected to be 13 percentannually. Sandusky’s stock price typically movesin the same direction and by the same degree as the U.S. stock market. Its earnings aresubject to a 20% corporate tax rate. Estimate the cost of capital to SanduskyCo. Cost of equity = Cost of equity = Cost of equity = 13% Cost of debt = .09 x (1 -.2) = .072 Cost of capital = Cost of capital = (.60)7.2% + (.40)13% = 9.52% Chapter 18: Problems 9, 10 and 11 9. Bond Financing Analysis. Sambuka, Inc. can issue bonds in either U.S.dollars or in Swiss francs. Dollar-denominated bonds would have a coupon rateof 15 percent; Swiss franc-denominated bonds would have a coupon rate of 12percent. Assuming that Sambuka can issue bonds worth $10,000,000 in eithercurrency, that the current exchange rate of the Swiss franc is $.70, and thatthe forecasted exchange rate of the franc in each of the next three years is$.75, what is the annual cost of financing for the franc-denominated bonds?Which type of bond should Sambuka issue? IfSambuka issues Swiss franc-denominated bonds, the bonds would have a face valueof $10,000,000/$.70 = Sf14,285,714. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 SF Payment SF1,714,286 SF1,714,286 SF16,000,000 Exchange rate $.75 $.75 $.75 Payments in $ $1,285,715 $1,285,715 $12,000,000 Theannual cost of financing is 14.92% for the franc-denominated bonds. Since theannual cost of financing of the dollar-denominated bonds is 15%, Sambuka shouldissue the franc-denominated bonds 10. Bond Financing Analysis. Hawaii Co. just agreed to a long-term deal inwhich it will export products to Japan. It needs funds to financethe production of the products that it will export. The products will bedenominated in dollars. The prevailing U.S.long-term interest rate is 9 percent versus 3 percent in Japan. Assume that interest rateparity exists, and that Hawaii Co. believes that the international Fishereffect holds. a. ShouldHawaii Co. finance its production with yen and leave itself open to theexchange rate risk? Explain. No. The exchange rate of the yen is expected torise according to the IFE, which would offset the interest rate differential. b. ShouldHawaii Co. finance its production with yen and simultaneously engage in forwardcontracts to hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk? No. The forward rate premium should reflect theinterest rate differential, so the financing rate would be 9% if Hawaii usedthis strategy. c. Howcould Hawaii Co. achieve low-cost financing while eliminating its exposure toexchange rate risk? Hawaiicould request that the Japanese importers pay for their imports in yen. Itcould finance in yen at 3% and use a portion of the proceeds from its exportrevenue to cover its finance payments. 11. Cost of Financing. Assume that Seminole, Inc., considers issuing aSingaporedollar‑denominated bond at its present coupon rate of 7 percent, even though ithas no incoming cash flows to cover the bond payments. It is attracted tothe low financing rate, since U. S. dollar-denominated bonds issued in the United Stateswould have a coupon rate of 12 percent. Assume that either type of bondwould have a four‑year maturity and could be issued at par value. Seminole needs to borrow $10 million. Therefore, it will either issue U.S. dollar denominated bonds with a par value of $10 million or bondsdenominated in Singapore dollars with a par value of S$20 million. Thespot rate of the Singaporedollar is $.50. Seminole has forecasted the Singapore dollar’s value at the endof each of the next four years, when coupon payments are to be paid: End of Year Exchange Rate of SingaporeDollar 1 $.52 2 .56 3 .58 4 .53 Determine the expected annual cost offinancing with Singaporedollars. Should Seminole, Inc., issue bonds denominated in U.S. dollarsor Singaporedollars? Explain. End of Year: 1 2 3 4 S$ payment $1,400,000 $1,400,000 $1,400,000 $21,400,000 Exchange rate $.52 $.56 $.58 $.53 $ payment $728,000 $784,000 $812,000 $11,342,000 Theannual cost of financing with $ is determined as the discount rate that equatesthe U.S. dollar payments resulting from payments on the Singaporedollar-denominated bond to the amount of U.S. dollars borrowed. Using a calculator, this discount rate is8.97%. Thus, the expected annual cost offinancing with a Singaporedollar-denominated bond is 8.97%, which is less than the 12% cost of financingwith U.S. dollars. However, there issome uncertainty associated with Singapore dollar financing. Seminole Inc. must weigh the expected savingsfrom financing in Singaporedollars with the uncertainty associated with such financing. .
