Let G = Z4 ⊕ Z4, and H = {(0, 0), (2, 0), (0, 2), (2, 2)}, and K = (1, 2). Is G/H isomorphic to Z4 or Z2 ⊕ Z2? Is G/K isomorphic to Z4 or Z2 ⊕ Z2?

You are interested in studying the relationship between a home’s selling price and various features of the home (this is called a hedonic price analysis). You estimate the following regression equation, in thousands of dollars:
  
(house price) ̂=175+12bedroom+.8square_footage - 2.5distance

Where bedroom measures the number of bedrooms in the house, square_footage is the house’s square footage, measured in hundreds (e.g. 2,200 square foot house would enter the regression as 22), and distance is the distance from downtown, measured in miles.

a. Do the signs of the coefficients match your a priori expectations? Explain why or why not based on your intuition.

b. Suppose you are a realtor. Use the regression results to estimate the value of a client’s home with the following characteristics: 3,200 square feet; 4 bedrooms; located 6 miles from downtown.
  
c. How would your estimate change if the client decided to add a 200 square-foot bedroom?

1. Express the degree of a vertex in terms of the adjacency matrix
2. Describe how you can find out whether a graph is connected, based on its adjacency matrix, using only matrix addition and multiplication.

Without using the Tutte-Berge formula, prove that every cubic graph with at most two bridges contains a perfect matching.

Roberts Company, a small machine shop, is contemplating acquiring a new machine that costs
$24,000. Arrangements can be made to lease or purchase the machine. The firm is in the 40%
tax bracket. The firm would obtain a 5-year lease requiring annual end-of-year lease payments
of $6,000. All maintenance costs would be paid by the lessor, and insurance and other costs
would be borne by the lessee. The lessee would exercise its option to purchase the machine for
$1,200 at termination of the lease.
The firm would finance the purchase of the machine with a 9%, 5-year loan requiring end-of-
year installment payments of $6,170. The machine would be depreciated by 20% in year 1, 32%
in year 2, 19% in year 3, and 12% in years 4 and 5. The firm would pay $1,500 per year for a
service contract that covers all maintenance costs; insurance and other costs would be borne by
the firm. The firm plans to keep the machine and use it beyond its 5-year recovery period.

i. Find the after-tax cash outflows for each year under the lease alternative.
ii. Find the after-tax cash outflows for each year under the purchase alternative.
iii. Calculate the present value of the cash outflows associated with the lease and purchase
alternatives using the after-tax cost of debt as the discount rate.
iv. Choose the alternative with the lower present value of cash outflows from Step 3. It will
be the least-cost financing alternative.

For each given integer n, determine if n is a sum of two squares. (You do not have to find the squares.)

(e)n=1000

Find the infinite series for the following differential equation about x = 0, using Frobenius method, Bessel's or Legrende's equations.

Let ?∈ℕ, and assume √? is irrational. Show that ℚ(√?)={?+?√?∶?,?∈ℚ} is a field (show that there is multiplicative commutativity and multiplicative inverse). What would change if ℚ was replaced with ℝ.

Exercise 10-69 (Algorithmic)
Stock Dividends

Penguin Company has the following information regarding its common stock:

Its common stock is $15 par, with 300,000 shares authorized, 132,000 shares issued, and 130,600 shares outstanding.

On August 22, 2013, Penguin declared and paid a 15% stock dividend when the market price of the common stock was $28 per share.

1. Prepare the journal entry to record declaration and payment of this stock dividend. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

2. Prepare the journal entry to record declaration and payment assuming it was a 30% stock dividend.

Daryl Kearns saved $240,000 during the 25 years that he worked for a major corporation. Now he has retired at the age of 50 and has begun to draw a comfortable pension check every month. He wants to ensure the financial security of his retirement by investing his savings wisely and is currently considering two investment opportunities. Both investments require an initial payment of $188,500. The following table presents the estimated cash inflows for the two alternatives: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Opportunity #1 $ 55,675 $ 58,780 $ 78,870 $ 101,420 Opportunity #2 103,500 109,400 17,800 14,100 Mr. Kearns decides to use his past average return on mutual fund investments as the discount rate; it is 9 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required Compute the net present value of each opportunity. Which should Mr. Kearns adopt based on the net present value approach? Compute the payback period for each opportunity. Which should Mr. Kearns adopt based on the payback approach? Compute the net present value of each opportunity. Which should Mr. Kearns adopt based on the net present value approach?
