A 25-year maturity bond has a 8% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $887.42. A 15-year maturity bond has a 7.5% coupon rate, also paid annually. It sells today for $899.5. A bond market analyst forecasts that in five years, 20-year maturity bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 9% and that 10-year maturity bonds will sell at yields of 8.5%. Because the yield curve is upward-sloping, the analyst believes that coupons will be invested in short-term securities at a rate of 7%.

a. Calculate the expected rate of return of the 25-year bond over the five-year period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Expected rate of return% ?

b. What is the expected return of the 15-year bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Using Python:

Part 1:

Write the following function in a file called listlab.py

list4(): This function takes four formal parameters. If all four inputs are of type int and/or float, return the largest of the four inputs. Otherwise, return a list containing the four input parameters. Remember the type() function from Chapter 2.2; you may also want to use max().

Notes:

1. Every function must have a docstring, and variable names other than input parameters and loop control variables must have meaningful names. We will be grading for this.

2. Do not put a call to your function at the bottom of the file.

Part 2:

Write a Python function `make_triangle(trianglechar, triangleheight) that will return a string with an isosceles right triangle based on the two formal parameters triangle_height giving the triangle height and triangle_char that gives the symbol to be printed.

Important notes:

1. This program returns (not prints!) a string.
2. For this function and the other part of this lab you are required to put in a docstring. That will be checked by a TA/grader reading the program.
3. Every one of the occurrences of triangle_char should have a single space after it, including the ones at the ends of lines.
4. This is not too complex to write either using while or using for and range(). If you're comfortable with for() and range(), that might be a little easier.
5. The two ways we thought of to do this are either using two loops, one nested inside the other, or using one loop and string multiplication.
6. `\n' is the newline character. Your returned string should have triangle_char of them. (One at the end of every "line".)

1. For each of the following: draw a supply/demand graph for the currency market in question.  Label axes, the supply and demand curves, and equilibrium exchange rate.  Then show and explain with words what will happen to the market after the shock described.  Include the effect on the foreign exchange rate.  Explain.

1. The market for Russian Rubles.  Foreigners significantly increase their tourism/travel into Russi
2. The market Japanese Yen. Japanese imports from the United States increase significantly.
3. The market for European Euros.  The EU lowers its interest rate.
4. The market for Mexican Pesos.  Investors speculate that the Peso will soon appreciate.
5. The market for British pounds.  Brexit scares investors, so investors leave the UK.
6. The market for Korean won.  Americans buy many more Korean cars.

Using kinematic relation s = v_0t +(1/2)at^2 , I got the 2 equations: 172.8m = 5.682V_0 + 16.143a and 140.3m = 4.930V_0 + 12.152a. How do I get Initial velocity and acceleration out of that? m=meters and t is seconds

In conducting interviews and observing factory operations to implement an activity-based costing system, you determine that several activities are unnecessary or redundant. For example, warehouse personnel was inspecting purchased components as they were received at the loading dock. Later that day, the components were inspected again on the shop floor before being installed in the final product. Both of these activities caused costs to be incurred but were not adding value to the product. If you include this observation in your report, one or more employees who perform inspections will likely lose their jobs. Page 804 Required As a plant employee, what is your responsibility to report your findings to superiors? Should you attempt to determine if the redundancy is justified? Explain. What is your responsibility to the employees whose jobs will likely be lost because of your report? What facts should you consider before making your decision to report or not??

The neutralization of 50.0 mL of 1.00 M hydrochloric acid with 50.0 mL of 1.00 M sodium hydroxide causes a 6.7°C increase in temperature. Predict how the following changes to the experimental protocol would affect the value of the change in temperature.

The temperature change depends on the moles of water produced (moles of reaction) and the mass of the solution. Assume that the density of each solution is 1.0 g/mL.
a. using 100.0 mL of 1.00 M hydrochloric acid and 100.0 mL of 1.00 M sodium hydroxide
b. using 50.0 mL of 2.00 M hydrochloric acid and 50.0 mL of 2.00 M sodium hydroxide
c. using 25.0 mL of 1.00 M hydrochloric acid and 75.0 mL of 1.00 M sodium hydroxide
d. using 25.0 mL of 1.00 M sulfuric acid and 75.0 mL of 1.00 M sodium hydroxide (Be careful. Think about the value of n!)

According to researchers at Stanford Medical School (as cited in Medical Self Care), the ideal weight for a woman is found by multiplying her height in inches by 3.5 and subtracting 108. The ideal weight for a man is found by multiplying his height in inches by 4 and subtracting 128. Using PHP and HTML 5, design and build a web page that calculates the ideal weight given the person’s gender and height. The user selects the gender from a drop down list and enters the height in a text box. Your PHP script should read all the input and calculate and display the ideal weight.

The following java files are created from this:

• BankAccount.java
• CheckingAccount.java
• SavingsAccount.java
• TransactionDriver.java

Objective: To learn about inheritance and understand how to inherit and override superclass methods and to be able to invoke superclass constructors

In this assignment we will simulate a bank transactions that offers the customer the following types:

1. Checking account that does not provide interest, but it does provide a limited free transactions per month. Additional checking account transactions are charged a small fee.
2. Savings account that earns interest on a monthly basis.

Program Specification and implementation

Create a superclass BankAccount and two subclasses CheckingAccount and SavingsAccount. All the bank accounts should support getBalance, deposit and withdraw methods. Follow the below detailed specifications for each class.

BankAccount:

-         Implement instance field balance

-         Constructor creates an account with 0 balance.

-         Constructor to create an account with an initial balance

-         deposit method that takes in amount to be deposited

-         withdraw method that takes amount to withdraw

-         getBalance method to return the current balance in the account.

-         transferMoney method that transfers money from this bank account to other bank account. This method takes two arguments (BankAccount otherAccount, double amount)

-         display method that displays the account balance.

CheckingAccount:

-        Constant instance fields for ALLOWED_TRANS and TRANS_FEE. Allow for 2 free transactions and $3 for additional transaction.

-         instance field transactionCount (specific and new to CheckingAccount).

-         Constructor to create zero balance account.

-         Constructor to create an account with an initial balance

-         override deposit and withdraw methods in order to increment the transaction count.

-         chargeFees that charges transaction fee if any to the account at the end of the period.

SavingsAccount:

-         Instance field interestRate that holds the interest rate for period.

-         Constructor that sets interest rate.

-         Constructor that sets rate and initial balance.

-         addCompoundInterest method that adds the interest for the current period to the account balance. Deposit the interest to the account. Use this formula to calculate interest = balance * interestRate / 100.0.

TransactionsDriver:

-         Instantiate a savings account name it dadsSavings with interestRate 0.3%

-         Instantiate a checking account and name it kidsChecking.

-         Deposit 10000 into dadsSavings account.

-        Transfer 3000 to kidsChecking

-        Withdraw 200 from kidsChecking

-         Withdraw 400 from kidsChecking

-         Withdraw 300 from kidsChecking

-        Withdraw 500 from kidsChecking

-         Withdraw 400 from kidsChecking

-         Invoke end of period interest for the savings account

-        Invoke end of period transactions fees for the checking account

-        Display the final balance for dadsSavings account

-         Display the final balance for kidsChecking account

-         End of program

Sample Output:

At the end of these transactions the bank accounts should have the below balances

End of the period account balances

Dad's savings. Account balance: 7021.0

kid's checking. Account balance: 1188.0

Also, draw the inheritance UML diagram for the three bank accounts classes.

The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs most frequently in the set. For example, the set {4, 3, 6, 4, 3, 4, 1} has mode 4.

(a) (10%) Give an efficient, in-place algorithm to compute the mode of a set. Give the running time of your algorithm as a function of number of elements in the set, n. Show all work!

(b) (10%) Now suppose we know that there exists an element that occurs at least (n/2) + 1 times in the set, where n is the number of elements in the set. Give an O(n) algorithm to find the mode of this set.

9 starch agar plates have been inoculated with different bacteria in order to see if each bacterial species has amylase to hydrolyze the starch. After incubation, Gram's iodine must be added to see if the results were positive or negative. Before applying the Gram's iodine, the plates are incubated for 48 hours.

What should you expect to happen if you applied the Gram's iodine after 2 hours of incubation instead of the 48 hours and why?

A) Calculate the kinetic energy of a proton (1.67×10−27kg) traveling 8.30×10⁷ m/s .

B) Calculate the momentum of a proton (1.67×10−27kg) traveling 8.30×10⁷ m/s .

C) By what percentages would your calculations have been in error if you had used classical formulas?
