Read through the article about Imagination Tech and its market "implosion" thanks to the announcement that Apple is going to begin using its own Graphics Chips in upcoming phones (years from now).

Article: http://fortune.com/2017/04/03/apple-imagination-tech-shares-crash/

Notice the share price of Imagination Tech since the issue happened. Is the company undervalued now from this crash? Why or why not? Why do you think the stock has crashed so far, even though Apple's announcement won't affect them for years? what do you think this company might be able to do to recover? How do you think the market "discounts" this firm's cash flows from a risk perspective? Do you think this has changed after the Apple announcement?

Also, from a capital budgeting perspective, I would like you to think about the "Project" that Imagination might need to implement to survive. How do you think company executives would have approached the cash outflows that were necessary to help fix this situation? Think about how future cash flows would be impacted if the company did nothing, what would happen to future cash flows if the company successfully created a new product or innovation that helps increase cash flows? Would managers find a positive NPV from their capital budgeting analysis?

Which study design was used to conduct this study? Be specific in describing the study design (ie prospective cohort, experimental, case-control, etc).

You are interested in examining the relationship between believing in things-that-go-bump-in-the-night and watching Supernatural on the CW Network. You are able to determine the viewership of Supernatural from Nielsen Ratings on a state by state basis. Additionally, each of the 50 states has documentation on supernatural anxiety rates. You tabulate viewership and fear of supernatural things and then rank the states. You publish the relationship between watching Supernatural and fear of things-that-go-bump-in-the-night in a leading sci-fi journal.

What is it in our brain that makes having such experiencespossible? I assume other species don't have these. Sure there areinstances in the natural world where you can see individuals of thespecies gather around the dead one. Sometime even the alpha male inthe group allows the kin/relatives of the dead individual toapproach it (for whatever reason).

The kind of thing I don't see in the wild-life kingdom is anindividual becoming "enlightened" or the likes.

Sure our cerebrum is highly developed and all. But "what" is itin our brain that makes it capable for humans to have suchexperiences?

I've read articles saying we have identified such regions in thebrain. Just want to know what these structures are. Did suchresearch establish that such structures also exist in other speciestoo?
