umber of time periods). For example, average revenue is calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of items sold. To calculate a marginal term, take the change in the total and divide by the change in the quantity number. Exhibit 3 shows a summary of the terminology and formulas pertaining to profit maximization, where profit is defined as total revenue minus total economic costs. Note that the definition of profit is the economic version, which recognizes that the implicit opportunity costs of equity capital, in addition to explicit accounting costs, are economic costs. The first main category consists of terms pertaining to the revenue side of the profit equation: total revenue, average revenue, and marginal revenue. Cost terms follow with an overview of the different types of costs—total, average, and marginal. Exhibit 3.

Question

Consider the following statement: A firm that earns negative net income will quickly find itself in financial distress.

I. This statement is false because it is possible for a firm to have negative profits but still have positive cash flows.

II. This statement is false because accounting profits do not generally equal cash flow and it is a lack of cash, not profits, that causes financial distress.

III. This statement is true because negative profits mean negative cash flows.

Subject 2. Basic Principles of Capital Budgeting
d in the estimated cash flows since the effects of debt financing are reflected in the cost of capital used to discount the cash flows. The existence of a project depends on business factors, not financing. Important capital budgeting concepts: A sunk cost is a cash outlay that has already been incurred and which cannot be recovered regardless of whether a project is accepted or rejected. Since sunk costs are not increment costs, they should not be included in the capital budgeting analysis. For example, a small bookstore is considering opening a coffee shop within its store, which will generate an annual net cash outflow of $10,000 from selling coffee. That is, the coffee shop will always be losing money. In the previous year, the bookstore spent $5,000 to hire a consultant to perform an analysis. This $5,000 consulting fee is a sunk cost; whether the coffee shop is opened or not, the $5,000 is spent. Incremental cash flow is the net cash flow attributable to an investment project. It represents the change in the firm's total cash flow that occurs as a direct result of accepting the project. Forget sunk costs. Subtract opportunity costs. Consider side effects on other parts of the firm: externalities and cannibalization. Recognize the investment and recovery of net working capital. Opportunity cost is the return on the best alternative use of an asset or the highest return that will not be earned if funds are invested in a particular project. For example, to continue with the bookstore example, the space to be occupied by the coffee shop is an opportunity cost - it could be used to sell books and generate a $5,000 annual net cash inflow. Externalities are the effects of a project on cash flows in other parts of a firm. Although they are difficult to quantify, they should be considered. Externalities can be either positive or negative: Positive externalities create benefits for other parts of the firm. For example, the coffee shop may generate some additional customers for the bookstore (who otherwise may not buy books there). Future cash flows generated by positive externalities occur with the project and do not occur without the project, so they are incremental. Negative externalities create costs for other parts of the firm. For example, if the bookstore is considering opening a branch two blocks away, some customers who buy books at the old store will switch to the new branch. The customers lost by the old store are a negative externality. The primary type of negative externality is cannibalization, which occurs when the introduction of a new product causes sales of existing products to decline. Future cash flows represented by negative externalities occur regardless of the project, so they are non-incremental. Such cash flows represent a transfer from existing projects to new projects, and thus should be subtracted from the new projects' cash flows. Conventional versus non-conventional cash flows. A conventional cash flow pattern is one with an initial outflow followed by a series of inflows. In a non-conventional cash flow pattern, the initial outflow can be followed by inflows and/or outflows. Some project interactions: Indepe

Question

Which of the following statements is false?

A. Externalities refer to the effect of a project on other parts of the firm.

B. Cannibalization, when a new project takes sales from an existing product, is one type of externality that occurs.

C. The effect of externalities and cannibalization on cash flow is not incremental and should not be included in the capital budgeting decision.

Answer

Correct Answer: C

Externalities and cannibalization affect the cash flows of a firm and are a direct consequence of accepting a project. Therefore, they affect incremental cash flows and their effect on cash flows should be included in the capital budgeting decision.

At any time, a tendon undergoes both catabol ic and anabolic processes. Under conditions of normal loading, these pro- cesses are balanced and provide the basis for a healthy homeostatic state within the tissue. This balance may be disturbed by the type, intensity and frequency of loading (see Magnussen et al. [20] for a detailed review). A load may be applied to a tendon longitudinal to its collagen fibres (tension or tensile load) or perpendicular to the line of the fibres (compression), the latter particularly at its bony enthesis. Tensile loads may be applied actively via muscle contraction or passively via stretching. Tendon loads will be particularly high when the muscle is active and the tendon is lengthening at the same time, i.e. ec- centric contractions in the outer range, where anatomical compression may also occur [21].

A rapid increase in the intensity and/or frequency of tensile loading may lead to failure to adapt and a net catabolic effect. Net catabolism also results from lack of tensile loading (stress deprivation) and compression (Table 1).

At a cellular level, stress deprivation and com- pression induce expression of catabolic enzymes, which break down type 1 collagen [22], and increase tenocyte expression of large proteoglycans, which cleave apart collagen fibres [23]. Matrix degradation and changes in tenocyte behaviour reduce load-bearing capacity and pre- dispose to injury at relatively low tensile loads [24

The compressive load is influenced by the hip joint position. Birnbaum et al.

The abductor mechanism of the hip involves two muscle synergies: (1) the trochanteric abductor muscles (GMed and GMin); and (2) the ITB-tensing muscles or ITBten- sioners [the upper abducting portion of the gluteus max- imus (UGM), tensor fascia lata (TFL) and vastus lateralis (VL)] [26, 32–34] (Fig. 1). Kummer [35] calculated the potential for trochanteric abductor muscles to provide 70 % of the abductor force required for pelvic control in a single-leg stance, with the remaining 30 % provided by the ITB-tensing muscles. The TFL has been shown to hyper- trophy [36] and GMed and GMin atrophy [18 ] in those with gluteal tendon pathology

This pattern of imbalance in the relative proportions of the trochanteric abductors and ITB tension ers could feasibly alter the relative contribution of these muscle groups in controlling frontal-plane motion or postures. Although it is unclear whether these changes precede or result from tendinopathy, it is tempting to speculate that the predominant activity of ITB tensioner muscles could impose greater trochanter ic compression in hip adduction

We propose that a combination of a hip-adducted po- sition and ITB tensioner muscle activity contribute to the compression of the tendons of GMed and GMin. A com- mon clinical observation is that in single-leg standing ac- tivities, patients adopt a greater hip-adducted position. The ITB is passively pre-tensioned when the hip is in adduc- tion, which provides a mechanical advantage for the ITB tensioners and may provide the basis for an enhanced contribution to control in the frontal plane. Compressive loads on the gluteal tendons in passive hip adduction would then be amplified by added active tensioning by the ITB tensioner muscles. Detailed biomechanical analysis is re- quired to test this proposed interaction between muscle activation and joint position on the tendons of GMed and GMin in individuals with lateral hip pain.

The most salient feature of the presentation of gluteal tendinopathy is pain and tenderness primarily at the greater trochanter [13, 42–44]. There may be some radiation around the trochanter and often down the lateral thigh [42, 44]. The onset of pain is frequently insidious, tends to worsen over time and is sometimes associated with chan- ges in training load or physical activity [42, 43], though it can occur acutely after a strong contraction of the abductor musculature, such as that occurring during a slip or fall or a forceful sporting action, such as a sidestep.

Cook and Purdam [55] recommend functional loading tests to assess and monitor a tendon’s response to management over time. For the gluteal tendons, these authors suggest standing on one leg as a low-load test and hopping as a high-load test. Reduced pain on subsequent testing is thought to reflect improved load tolerance by the tendon. Improvement after a period of rehabilitation could be identified as either reduced pain on a specified number of hops or a greater number of hops before the onset of pain

For athletes, controlling tendon load will be a central tenet of management of gluteal tendinopathy. While complete rest is catabolic for tendons, avoiding rapid changes in loading/training and reducing activities involving provocative combinations of compression and high tensile load are recommended [67]. This may involve restriction of longer-distance and higher-speed running and other activities involving high eccentric abductor loads, such as hopping and bounding. Modifications of running technique might also be required. Reductions in peak hip adduction in running can be successfully altered with visual biofeedback [69] and increases in cadence [70]. Increasing cadence by 10 % has also been shown to result in increased activity of GMed during the late swing phase but not during the stance phase [71].

It would also seem prudent to avoid hip flexion/adduction stretches (e.g.ITB and gluteal stretches), as these place compressive and tensile loads on the gluteal tendon insertions.

However, corticosteroid injection does not completely al- leviate the pain (average pain reduction 55 % [4]), and medium- and longer-term responses are much lower than its initial effects. Positive responses drop to 41–55 % at 3–4 months [1, 2, 54], and after 12 months, Brinks et al. [1] showed no difference in outcomes between subjects receiving corticosteroid injection and those receiving usual care (analgesics as required). This pattern of poorer out- comes in the longer term, with high rates of recurrence, has been shown for other insertional tendinopathies, such as tendinopathy of the lateral elbow [75, 76].

Recurrence of pain following corticosteroid injection may reflect the failure of this intervention to address the underlying pathology and the associated central mechanisms now thought to be important co-drivers of longer-term tendon pain [78– 80

The evidence for the best management is poor, and the underlying mechanisms of the condition are only beginning to be understood. Compression and stress shielding of the deep fibres of the gluteal tendons in hip adduction are likely to be central to the development of tendon degen- eration.

Pain is often worst at night—those affected having difficulty sleeping on their side [14]. This can have a substantial negative influence on sleep quality. Other problem functions include single-leg loading tasks, such as walking, standing on one leg to dress, and climbing stairs and hills [38, 42]. Patients with gluteal tendinopathy also frequently report lateral hip pain and stiffness on extending the hip on rising to stand or walking after sitting [42]. <

Common List Methods

There are number of methods for lists, but we will at least cover how to add and delete items from them. All of the list methods can be found on Python's documentation website. Methods follow the list name. In the statement listName.append(2) , append() is the method.

.append(value) - appends element to end of the list
.count('x') - counts the number of occurrences of 'x' in the list
.index('x') - returns the index of 'x' in the list
.insert('y','x') - inserts 'x' at location 'y'
.pop() - returns last element then removes it from the list
.remove('x') - finds and removes first 'x' from list
.reverse() - reverses the elements in the list
.sort() - sorts the list alphabetically in ascending order, or numerical in ascending order

Python Lists Tutorial
told you we would come back to see how awesome the for loop is. Basically, variable a is the actual element in the list. We are incrementing an implicit index. Don't get too worried about it. Just remember we are cycling through the list. Common List Methods There are number of methods for lists, but we will at least cover how to add and delete items from them.

They are fairly straightforward, but they are very crucial to understanding how to harness the power of Python.

However, it is often the case in this situation that fetching from RAM is faster than fetching from the flash the program memory is implemented from. The advantage of flash is that large amounts can be relatively cheap. Microcontroller manufacturers therefore sometimes put a lot of flash on
