Suppose you purchase 900 shares of stock at $74 per share with an initial cash investment of $33,300. The call money rate is 5 percent and you are charged a 1.5 percent premium over this rate. Ignore dividends.
a. Calculate your return on investment one year later if the share price is $82. Suppose instead you had simply purchased $33,300 of stock with no margin. What would your rate of return have been now? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. Calculate your return on investment one year later if the share price is $74. Suppose instead you had simply purchased $33,300 of stock with no margin. What would your rate of return have been now? (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.

As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, sociologists and physicians at the Wentworth Medical Center in upstate New York investigated the relationship between geographic location, gender and depression. A sample of 60 individuals, all in reasonably good health, was selected; 20 individuals were residents of Florida, 20 were residents of New York, and 20 were residents of North Carolina. Each of the individuals sampled was given a standardized test to measure depression. The data collected follow; higher test scores indicate higher levels of depression.

In July 2007, Apple released the iPhone at a price of $599. Only two months later, the company dropped the price by 33% to $399. The early iPhone customers were angry about the sudden drop in price and felt they had overpaid for the product. See the letter below that Steve Jobs wrote to these customers. not surprisingly, members of the news media received the message and shared it with the general public.
INSTRUCTIONS: Write a clear and concise assessment of whether or not you think this is an effective business communication. Provide support for your answer. Organize your response into a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Use the appropriate format for business writing.

Letter from Steve Jobs
To All iPhone Customers:
I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of the iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions.
First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do it. iPhone is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to "go for it" this holiday season. iPhone is so far ahead of the competition, and now it will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Apple and every iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone "tent." We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday season.
Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you'll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon. The good news is that if you buy products from companies that support them well, like Apple tries to do, you will receive years of useful and satisfying service from them even as newer models are introduced.
Third, even though we are making the right decision to lower the price of iPhone, and even though the technology road is bumpy, we need to do a better job taking care of our early iPhone customers as we aggressively go after new ones with a lower price. Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these.
Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple's website next week. Stay tuned. We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers.
We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.
Steve Jobs
Apple CEO
