MAT126 WEEK 1 ASSIGNMENT
Week One Written Assignment
Following completion of your readings, complete exercises 35 and 37 in the “Real World Applications” section on page 280 of Mathematics in Our World (page 230 if using the PDF of Chapters One through Five).
For each exercise, specify whether it involves an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence and use the proper formulas where applicable. Format your math work as shown in the Week One Assignment Guide and be concise in your reasoning. Plan the logic necessary to complete the exercise before you begin writing. For an example of the math required for this assignment, please review the Week One Assignment Guide.
The assignment must include (a) all math work required to answer the problems as well as (b) introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
- Your introduction should include three to five sentences of general information about the topic at hand.
- The body must contain a restatement of the problems and all math work, including the steps and formulas used to solve the problems.
- Your conclusion must comprise a summary of the problems and the reason you selected a particular method to solve them. It would also be appropriate to include a statement as to what you learned and how you will apply the knowledge gained in this exercise to real-world situations.
The assignment must be formatted according the APA (6th edition) style, which includes a title page and reference page. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar, in your online course.

George Mason University Systems Configuration and Integration Process Questions
1. Systems configuration and integration process is pivotal to achieve the desired performance. Both series and parallel configurations have pros and cons and implications in the system performance. Explain which configuration provides the best reliability, if you do not have physical and resource constraints. Also, briefly explain under which conditions systems in series will provide the most adequate configuration.
2. A system has five (5) components in series with a reliability of 0.99999, each. What is the overall system reliability? If the system engineer requests you to change the configuration to parallel to increase the reliability; what is the difference (%) in reliability? What is the minimum reliability each component (in parallel) must have to have an overall system reliability of 0.99999 (i.e., the same reliability each component in series has)?

Covenant Hospital Clinic Staffing
Covenant Hospital operates a main hospital and three outlying clinics in a medium-size city. All four locations perform similar outpatient services, and patients typically visit the location nearest them. The hospital has recently had more congestion—longer waiting lines—than it (or its patients) would like. As part of a study to learn the causes of these long lines and to suggest possible solutions, all locations have kept track of customer arrivals during 1-hour intervals for the past 10 weeks. All locations are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon. For each location, the hospital and clinics collected data that contains the number of customer arrivals during each hour of a 10-week period. The manager of Covenant has hired you to make some sense of these data. Specifically, your task is to present charts and/or tables that indicate how customer traffic into the hospital locations varies by day of week and hour of day. There is also interest in whether any daily or hourly patterns you observe are stable across weeks. Although you don't have full information about the way the hospital currently runs its operations—you know only its customer arrival pattern and the fact that it is currently experiencing long lines—you are encouraged to append any suggestions for improving operations based on your analysis of the data.Review the Covenant Hospital data files. Reflect on what analyses might be required to address the manager's request.The Assignment: (3–5 pages)Submit your answers and embedded Excel analysis as a Microsoft Word management report.Be sure to adhere to APA format when generating your management report.Albright, S.

Hardmon Enterprises is currently an all-equity firm with an expected return of 12%. It is considering borrowing money to buy back some of its existing shares, thus increasing its leverage.
a. Suppose Hardmon borrows to the point that its debt-equity ratio is 0.50. With this amount of debt, the debt cost of capital is 6%. What will be the expected return of equity after this transaction?
b. Suppose instead Hardmon borrows to the point that its debt-equity ratio is 1.50. With this amount of debt, Hardmon’s debt will be much riskier. As a result, the debt cost of capital will be 8%. What will be the expected return of equity in this case?
c. A senior manager argues that it is in the best interest of the shareholders to choose the capital structure that leads to the highest expected return for the stock. How would you respond to this argument?
6 Suppose Microsoft has no debt and a WACC of 9.2%. The average debt-to-value ratio for the software industry is 5%. What would be its cost of equity if it took on the average amount of debt for its industry at a cost of debt of 6%?
7 Your firm is financed 100% with equity and has a cost of equity capital of 12%. You are considering your first debt issue, which would change your capital structure to 30% debt and 70% equity. If your cost of debt is 7%, what will be your new cost of equity?
