C. In 1790 Benjamin Franklin left the equivalent of $4,600 (actually 1,000 British pounds)

each to the cities of Philadelphia and Boston. He stipulated that the money be invested

and that the principal not be touched for 100 years.

  1. If the money had been invested at 4%, compounded yearly, how much would each city have had in 1890?  _____________________

  2. How much if it had been invested at 5%, compounded yearly? __________________


D. A genie popped out of a bottle and offered you one of three choices:

  1. $5,000 today.

  2. $10,000 10 years from now.

  3. a 12-year annuity, paying $1,000 a year starting at the end of this year.

Your required rate of return is 9%. Which alternative is worth more to you?_____________________

Need this in C# and also the Pseudocode. Program 4: In 1789, Benjamin Franklin is known to have written “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Our federal tax system is a “graduated” tax system which is broken into seven segments. Essentially, the more you make, the higher your tax rate. For 2018, you can find the tax brackets...

At writing, 1 Euro is equivalent to 0.89 GBP (i.e., British pounds). Assume that the interest rate over one (annual) timestep in Britain is rGB = 1:5%, and in Europe, it is rE = 2:0%.

a C++ program that reads in weight in pounds and outputs the equivalent length in Kilograms and grams. Use at least three functions: one for input, one or more for calculating, and one for output. Include a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values until the user says he or she wants to end the program. 1 pound (lb) is equal to 0.45359237 kilograms (kg). There are 1000 grams in a kilogram and 16 ounces...

C Corp. is expecting to receive 100,000 British pounds in one year. C Corp expects the spot rate of the British pound to be $1.49 in a year, so it decides to avoid exchange rate risk by hedging its receivables. The spot rate of the pound is quoted at $1.51. The strike price of put and call options are $1.54 and $1.53, respectively. The premium on both options is $.03. The one-year forward rate exhibits a 2.65 percent premium. Assume...

(c) Actually, the 10,000 larvae in each group came from a series of 50 different runs of the experiment, with 200 larvae in each group for each run. The researchers believe that conditions differ from run to run, and thus it makes sense to treat each run as a case (rather than each fly). In this analysis, we are looking at paired data, and the response variable would be the difference in the number of larvae surviving between the choice...
