The date today is July 31st, 2019. Mary has $5000 and wants to invest for 3 years.
Option 1: Invest in a four-year security maturing on July 1st, 2023 has an interest rate of 8% per year
Option 2: Invest in a three year security maturing on July 31,
2022 has an interest rate of 6%, then on July 31, 2022, invest
another two-year security maturing on July 31, 2023.
Based on the unbiased expectations theory, what should be the
return of the one-year security beginning July 31, 2022 (at the end
of the three year security) and maturing on July 2023 (at the start
of the two-year security)?

Mammals have about 5000 species today, and date to about 200
million years old (though major diversification of mammals happened
about 65 million years ago). Compared to beetles, which have
400,000 species they are a small taxon. Compared to dragonflies,
which also have about 5000 species but are 400 million years old,
they are a young taxon. Are mammals successful in terms of
evolution? Why or why not? Defend your answer.
