Develop a minimum 700-word analysis of inflation. Include the following:

• Choose a product or service you currently consume/use, such as apparel or educational services, that is included in the CPI's "market basket." Find the annual CPI index numbers for your chosen good or service for the years 1995, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Enter those index numbers in an Excel spreadsheet and calculate the percent change (inflation rates) in those index numbers from 1995 to 2005, from 1995 to 2010, and from 1995 to 2015.  
• Analyze the trends in overall inflation over the last five years and whether your income has kept pace with inflation. How has inflation over the last five years affected you and/or your family?
• Discuss how a business manager, such as a human resources manager, might use CPI statistics.

A boy tosses a football upward. If the football rises a vertical distance of 6.9m and the boy catches it at the same point he released it, what is the velocity of the ball just before he catches it? (Assume upward is the positive direction. )

An ARM is made for $50,000 for 30 years with the following terms:

Initial interest rate = 1 percent                 Index = 1-year Treasuries

Payments reset each year                         Margin = 200 basis points

Interest rate cap = none                            Payment cap = none

Discount points = 1 point

Negative amortization is not allowed

Based on estimated forward rates, the 1-year Treasury yields to which the ARM is tied is forecasted as follows:

Beginning of year (BOY) 2 = one percent (1%); (BOY) 3 = two percent (2%); (BOY) 4 = 3.5%; (BOY) 5 = 5%

Compute the interest rate, monthly payments, and loan balances for each year for this unrestricted ARM, and the yield for the entire five-year period.

An insurance company has asked your digital forensics firm to review a case for an arson investigation. The suspected arsonist has already been arrested, but the insurance company wants to determine whether there’s any contributory negligence on the part of the victims.

Two files were extracted to your work folder for this project:

a).The first, Letter 1.doc, is a memo about the case from the police department.

b).The second, Letter 2.doc, is a letter from the insurance company explaining what should be investigated.

Review these files and decide the course of action your firm needs to take include how your firm should approach the case.
