Problem 3. Consider the unit interval [0, 1], and let ξ be fixed real number with ξ ∈ (0, 1) (note that the case ξ = 1/3 corresponds to the regular Cantor set we learned in our lectures). In stage 1 of the construction, remove the centrally situated open interval in [0, 1] of length ξ. In stage 2 remove the centrally situated open intervals each of relative length ξ (i.e. if the interval has length a you remove an interval of length ξ × a), one in each of the remaining intervals after stage 1, and so on. Let Cξ denote the set which remains after applying the above procedure indefinitely
(a) Prove that Cξ is compact.
(b) Prove that Cξ is totally disconnected and perfect.
(c) Atually, prove that the complement of Cξ in [0, 1] is the union of open intervals of total length equal to 1.

You took a short futures position in 10 contracts, covering each 100 ounces of gold at a price of $276.5 per ounce. The initial and the maintenance margin requirement are respectively $1500 and is $1100 per contract. No withdrawal in any excess margin will be made. Ignore any interest on the balance.
The settlement prices per ounce of gold at the end of days 1, 2 and 3 are respectively $278, $281 and $276.
(c) Calculate your total gain or loss at the end of day 3, and the annualized return. [5]

Big Retailer (BR) follows a moderate current asset investment policy, but is now considering a change, perhaps to a restricted or maybe to a relaxed policy. BR’s annual sales are $1,400,000; its fixed assets are $950,000; its target capital structure calls for 40% debt and 60% equity; its EBIT is $500,000; the interest rate on debt is 8%; and its tax rate is 20%. With a restricted policy, current assets will be 20% of sales, while under a relaxed policy, current assets will be 35% of sales. What is the difference in the projected ROEs between the restricted and relaxed policies?

Whitson Co. is looking for ways to shorten its cash conversion cycle. It has annual sales of $45,625,000, or $125,000 a day on a 365-day basis. The firm's cost of goods sold is 65% of sales. On average, the company has $7,500,000 in inventory, $5,750,000 in accounts receivable, and $2,750,000 in accounts payable. Its CFO has proposed new policies that would result in a 25% reduction in both average inventories and accounts receivable, and a 10% increase in average accounts payable. She also anticipates that these policies would reduce sales by 5%. What effect would these policies have on the company's cash conversion cycle?

Suppose we use the ElGamal signature scheme with p = 65539, ?=2,?=33384. We send signed messages (m, r, s): (809, 18357, 1042) = hi and (22505, 18357, 26272) = bye. (a). Show that the same value of k was used for each signature. (b). Use this fact to find this value of k and to find the value of “a” such that ?≡?? (??? ?).

PharmaPlus operates a chain of 30 pharmacies. The pharmacies are staffed by licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The company currently employs 100 full-time-equivalent pharmacists (combination of full time and part time) and 175 full-time-equivalent technicians. Each spring management reviews current staffing levels and makes hiring plans for the year. A recent forecast of the prescription load for the next year shows that at least 280 full-time-equivalent employees (pharmacists and technicians) will be required to staff the pharmacies. The personnel department expects 10 pharmacists and 30 technicians to leave over the next year. To accommodate the expected attrition and prepare for future growth, management states that at least 15 new pharmacists must be hired. In addition, PharmaPlus’s new service quality guidelines specify no more than two technicians per licensed pharmacist. The average salary for licensed pharmacists is $35 per hour and the average salary for technicians is $15 per hour.
Let P | = | number of full-time equivalent pharmacists |
T | = | number of full-time equivalent technicians |
Min or Max ___P+____T
____P+____T _____ (less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, equal) ____ Full-time -equivalent employees_
____P- ____T _____ (less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, equal) ____ Quality Guideline
____P ____ (less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, equal) ____ Number of pharmacists
The optimal solution requires ____ full-time equivalent pharmacists and ____ full-time equivalent technicians. The total cost is $ ____ per hour.
b. Given current staffing levels and expected attrition, how
many new hires (if any) must be made to reach the level recommended
in part (a)?

What will be the impact on the payroll?
The payroll cost will ____ by $ ____ per hour.
