Exhibit 8.1 USE THE INFORMATION BELOW FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM(S)   Davenport Corporation’s last dividend was $2.70, and the directors expect to maintain the historic 3 percent annual rate of growth. You plan to purchase the stock today because you feel that the growth rate will increase to 5 percent for the next three years and the stock will then reach $25 per share.  Refer to Exhibit 8.1. How much should you be willing to pay for the stock if you require a 17 percent return?

Suppose F ( x ) = ⌈ x ⌉ . {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”F(x)=\left \lceil{x}\right \rceil. “} Which of the following choices for domain and target (codomain) make F a well-defined one-to-one (injective) function?  Select all that apply.

OPTIONAL: For partial credit considerations, you can upload your work and/or explanation to other problem(s) in this section. Audio explanation is fine as well. Clearly write your name on your work.  Upload to D2L under “assignments” if upload here doesn’t work. If you do this, please write something here so that I know.

TechNova is developing a next-generation wearable device. A competing product is scheduled to launch in 9 months, while TechNova’s original launch timeline was 15 months. To remain competitive, the company must accelerate its project schedule. The development process consists of three critical phases: Core Technology Integration Hardware Design Product Launch Preparation Each phase can be executed at one of three pace levels: Normal, Priority, or Crash, with corresponding time and cost tradeoffs. Due to time pressure, Normal pace is not permitted for the Hardware Design and Launch Preparation phases. TechNova has a budget limit of $18 million for the entire project.   Time Requirements by Pace Level Level Core Technology Integration Hardware Design Launch Preparation Normal 4 months — — Priority 3 months 4 months 2 months Crash 2 months 3 months 1 month   Cost by Pace Level Level Core Technology Integration Hardware Design Launch Preparation Normal $3 million — — Priority $5 million $6 million $4 million Crash $7 million $8 million $5 million Objective: Determine the optimal pace level for each phase to: Minimize the total project duration Ensure the total project cost does not exceed $18 million     Questions: What is the minimum duration of the project? [duration] months What is the optimal policy (pace level) for the Core Technology Integration phase? [strategy] What is the total cost of the optimal project plan? $[cost] million
