If you were Linnaeus today, with your knowledge on Microbiology today, how would you classify the taxonomy of microorganisms? Give examples.

Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosome structure .

A new study led by researchers from Harvard school of Public health (HSPH) and Wellcome Trust Sanger institute in the UK has, for the first time used, genome sequencing technology to track changes in bacterial population following the introduction of a vaccine.

Bob lives in the UK, but works in both Germany and in the UK. In 2019 he earned 40,000 euros in Germany, and 30,000 euros in the UK. In Germany the income tax rate is 45%.

2.1.   How much tax would be due from Bob in the UK on his annual income for 2019 if the UK income tax rate was 20% and any double taxation would be eliminated using ordinary credit?

2.2.   How much tax would be due from Bob in the UK on his annual income for 2019 if the UK income tax rate was 50% and any double taxation would be eliminated using ordinary credit?

2.3.   How much tax would be due from Bob in the UK on his annual income for 2019 if the UK income tax rate was 20% for income up to 40,000 euros and 30% for income above 40,000 euros, and any double taxation would be eliminated using exemption with progression?

Listed below is the net sales in $ million for Home Depot Inc. and its subsidiaries from 1993 to 2015. Remember to code the years starting at 1 for year 1993.

Determine the least squares equation. On the basis of this information, what are the estimated sales for 2016 and 2017? (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

You are estimating the beta of the stock of Calico,Inc. using historical return information. The following information is available:

Historical return %:

Year Calico,Inc. Viprot, inc. LCK Index ( Market proxy)

2009 28 24 18

2008 18 -20 15

2007 15 18 22

2006 13 15 19

2005 -6 -8 -12

2004 24 15 36

2003 -20 -18 -28

2002 -8 -6 -13

Using the historical return data and simple linear regression ( may use calculator, showing calculator entries or Excel or any Statistical Package, showing work):

a. Estimate the betas for Calico,Inc. Viprot,Inc. & LCK Index.

b. Using the formula in the book: Adjusted beta = 0.67(historical beta) + 0.35(1.0), find the adjusted beta of Calico,Inc and Viprot,Inc

A cyclist won a bicycle race for seven consecutive years. His "winning" times and "victory" margins (time difference of the second place finisher) are given in the figure below.

(a) Find the mean, median and mode of the cyclist's times. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

(b) Find the mean, median and mode of the cyclist's margins. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

(a) Use Excel, MegaStat, or MINITAB to fit three trends (linear, quadratic, exponential) to the time series. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

(b) Use each of the three fitted trend equations to make numerical forecasts for the next 3 years. (Round the intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and round your final answers to 1 decimal place.)

1. The following information is available for the New York Giants Rental.

                        Using the above information prepare an Income Statement, Statement of Owner's Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows for the Skate and Boards Rental for 2004. Also prepare its Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004.

Hedging currency risk with a forward.

Assume you are a US-based speculator and you want to bet on the UK 10 year zero nominal bond. Assume you buy the UK 10-year bond, but also need to hedge out your currency exposure (i.e. you do not want exposure to changes in the USD vs. GBP fx rate).

You decide to hedge your fx exposure by selling GBP 10 years forward.

You now how two legs to your trade: buy UK 10-year bond and sell GBP 10 years forward.

Question 1: describe your what market forces your overal bet is exposed to when you initially put the trade on? Essentially, what market forces will drive P&L?

Assume you don't need to describe how you funded the trade (i.e. how you got the USD to buy the bond is not in scope). Ignore counterparty risk, default risk, and bid/offer spreads. Assume everything settles on the trade date T. Only explain market forces when you initially put the bet on, not the entire life of the 10-years.
