Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature–the pragmatic idealism–of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the “ticking clock” of a visionary company is a core ideology–core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money–that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

Research conducted by Collins and Porras (2002) highlights the importance of establishing and committing to an ideology comprised of two parts: (1) core values; (2) a core purpose. In my personal experience it seems easier to define a core ideology than to live it consistently.

‘Temperature.dat’ file give simulated temperature for a year based on the historical records ofToronto. [50](a) The temperature in the given file is measured in degrees Celsius. Write a anonymous functionthat can convert the temperature in degrees Celsius to the degrees Fahrenheit, where 10C =(10F − 32)/1.8.(b) Write a function that use the advance file input functions in chapter 9 to read the data file, usethe anonymous function you created in part a) to convert temperature from degree Celsiusto degree Fahrenheit, and return the temperature in degree Fahrenheit as output argument.(c) Calculate min, max average and standard deviation of temperature for each month, plot min,max and average temperature for 12 months and save your figure in JPEG format. Label themin,max and average temperature respectively.(d) Save temperature calculated in b) and results in c) in different sheets to Excel spreadsheetfile. Temperature in b) should follow the format as original data file, that is, the first columnis the month, then followed by the temperature in Fahrenheit. For each set of results in c)should be in similar format given by the table below.

1.      ITC Corporation considering purchasing a new minicomputer for data processing. the purchase price is $ 150,000 delivered and installed. It has been estimated that the new computer will produce annual savings of $ 50,000 in enhanced productivity as compared with the current computer. ITC assume the new computer will have an economic life of 5 years, at which time it will be essentially obsolete and have zero salvage value over the costs of removal. The present computer, which is fully depreciated, is in good working order and could conceivably be used for at least 5 more years, but its present salvage is zero, net of all costs of removal. The company has adopted a hurdle rate of 12%, . For each of calculation, assume that the margin tax rate is 50%, that the new computer will be straight line depreciated over no less than five years, and that the cash flows occur in a lump sum at year end.

a.       Show the company cannot justify the computer on purely economic grounds.  What happens if the flows are assumed to occur quarterly.

b.     What would the savage value of the present computer have to make the new computer attractive?  Assume the salvage income is subject to the 50% tax rate. Why does the old computer’s salvage value influence the new computer’s attractiveness?

c.      Suppose again that the present computer has zero salvage value.  What would the salvage value of the new computer at the end of 5 year life have to be to make the new computer attractive?  Assume the book value of the computer at the of year five is zero?
