Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM) to estimate its cost of Equity – Cost of Equity

Image
  The Group is provided with the last 5-year financial information of NTPC Limited along with their approximately last 5 years share prices. Click here to access the excel. Click here to access the 5-year financial information of NTPC (Use Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM) to estimate its cost of Equity – Cost of Equity = Risk-Free Rate+(Market Rate - Risk-Free Rate) x Beta; For Market Return use BSE SENSEX (data is provided) and take risk-free rate as 6.65% per annum. For calculating the Market Annual Return from Daily returns, use 250 as the number of working days. Also, use the following formula to calculate return from prices Return = [(Price today – Price of the previous day)/ Price of the previous day] Required: a) Valuation of the Company using Dividend Discount Model (use only constant growth model) Dividend Data is given in the attached EXCEL file. While calculating the intrinsic value of NTPC share, use the formula g = Return on Equity ´Retention Rate to calculate the g...

We want you to use this framework in a thoughtful and critical way in order to evaluate the current and future attractiveness of a particular market segment. Draw some meaningful conclusions. B2C/B2B perspective

Image
  Summary: Your assessment consists of a 3,000-word essay. The essay should have two main sections: a PESTEL analysis We want you to use this framework in a thoughtful and critical way in order to evaluate the current and future attractiveness of a particular market segment. Draw some meaningful conclusions. B2C/B2B perspective The second part will depend on whether you are taking a B2C or B2B perspective. If you are taking a B2C perspective: the second part should entail applying the marketing mix and STP process in order to critically evaluate the company’s performance and how it could be improved (i.e. an application of what we called V 1 thinking). Carefully evaluate how well the company is applying these two frameworks – the marketing mix and the STP process, and make some recommendations for how it could do it better. If you are taking a B2B perspective: then this second part will consist of you arguing whether a V 1 , V 2 , or V 3 perspective should be taken in order to crit...

Gas is compressed in a reciprocating compressor from 1 bar to 6 bar. The FAD

Image
  Q1 Gas is compressed in a reciprocating compressor from 1 bar to 6 bar. The FAD (Free Air Delivery) is 13 m3/sec. The clearance ratio is 0.05. The expansion part of the cycle follows the law PV1.2 = C. The crank speed is 360 rev/min. Calculate the swept volume and volumetric efficiency. Q2. Provide answers for the following: A system on site is a pressure sand filter with a service curve. The filter is backwashed using the feed pump, at a higher flow rate, shown as backwash curve. • Service duty point : 3 m3/h • Backwash duty point : 9 m3/h a) What is the speed of the pump needed to achieve the service and backwash flow rates? (4 marks) b) What would be the best way to control the speed of the pump? Why? (2 marks) c) The pump is set up as a fixed speed constant pressure system (the pump runs once system pressure reaches 550 kPa, turns off when pressure drops to 450 kPa, plant re-starts) to maintain a system pressure of 500 kPa at the discharge of the pump. (4 marks) Using pump af...

Computer Dynamics is a microcomputer software development company that has a 300 + computer network.

Image
   Part A: Mini Case Study (2 pages maximum) You are to provide an essay (two pages maximum) for the following mini case question. The essay is to be a 1.5 line spacing. Computer Dynamics Computer Dynamics is a microcomputer software development company that has a 300 + computer network. The company is located in three adjacent five-story buildings in an office park, with about 100 computers in each building. The LANs in each building are similar, but one building has the data canter on the second floor. There are no other office locations. The current network is poorly designed for its current needs and must be completely replaced. Develop a logical design for this enterprise campus that considers the seven network architecture components. There are no other campuses, so you can omit WAN access. You will need to make some assumptions, so be sure to document your assumptions and explain why you have designed the network in this way. (25 marks) The essays do not require in text...

Good modeling capability of advanced powertrain control systems within the Matlab/Simulink environment

Image
  Coursework Assessment Brief: Report (80%)File The purpose of this assessment is to enable students to demonstrate a number of skills that have been developed within the Module, in particular: • Good modeling capability of advanced powertrain control systems within the Matlab/Simulink environment • An appreciation of advanced propulsion and emission control strategies available to the automotive engineer • How best to specify and implement the chosen designs in order to optimize performance benefits. This will be achieved by writing a structured report (around 4000 words). Unless specified, the manuscript will report individual work. The report will contain three parts: 1. A review of advanced hybrid powertrains, their control strategies and how they may be implemented at particular speed and load points 2. The design and implementation of a realistic series or parallel hybrid powertrain. 3. The comparison of various idle speed control strategies The part 2 (powertrain model) shou...
