The structural support structure must lift the pipeline above the ground to allow free passage of wildlife under the pipeline. The loading on each truss support must be determined by calculating the weight of oil and of the pipe over each support. Assume that supports are spaced 2 meters apart and thus each truss is holding up 2 meters of pipeline. Each support is a simple truss in the shape of an equilateral triangle. Thus the angle between members is 60o. You will need to find the stress in each member due to the weight of the oil and the pipe.

Which critical success factor improves with reduced cycle time, better quality standards, and improved efficiency when an is is implemented?

Suppose jamal purchases a pair of running shoes online for $60. if his state has a sales tax on clothing of 6 percent, how much is he required to pay in state sales tax?

Calculate the cost of each capital component—in other words, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock (including flotation costs), and the cost of equity (ignoring flotation costs). use both the capm method and the dividend growth approach to find the cost of equity. calculate the cost of new stock using the dividend growth approach. what is the cost of new common stock based on the capm? (hint: find the difference between re and rs as determined by the dividend growth approach and then add that difference to the capm value for rs.)assuming that gao will not issue new equity and will continue to use the same target capital structure, what is the company’s wacc? e. suppose gao is evaluating three projects with the following characteristics. each project has a cost of $1 million. they will all be financed using the target mix of long-term debt, preferred stock, and common equity. the cost of the common equity for each project should be based on the beta estimated for the project. all equity will come from reinvested earnings. equity invested in project a would have a beta of 0.5 and an expected return of 9.0%.equity invested in project b would have a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 10.0%.equity invested in project c would have a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 11.0%.analyze the company’s situation, and explain why each project should be accepted or rejected g
