Suppose Rina is an avid reader and buys only mystery novels. Rina deposits $4,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 15%. Assume this interest rate is fixed—that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a mystery novel is priced at $20.00.

Initially, the purchasing power of Rina's $4,000 deposit is.......... mystery novels. ???????

For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a mystery novel, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Rina's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates.

Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest mystery novel. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 mystery novels, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 mystery novels under the assumption that Rina will not buy seven-tenths of a mystery novel.

When the rate of inflation is equal to the interest rate on Rina's deposit, the purchasing power of her deposit ............... over the course of the year.??????

In your own words, what is the difference between flirting and harassing? How could you tell that the other person was interested? What steps, if any, did you take to be sure you would not be accused of sexual harassment later?

Write an LC-3 program that will repeatedly read a character from the keyboard. For each character read in, your program will print a neat message that echoes the input value, and the ASCII character code of the input character in hexadecimal. It will run forever: no HALT or End of processing is required.

For example:

Please press a key:

You pressed 'z' which is x7A

Please press a key:

You pressed '@' which is x40

Please press a key:

You pressed 'O' which is x4F

Please press a key:

You pressed '2' which is x32

Please press a key:

A company is planning to install a new automated plastic-molding press. Four different presses are available. The initial capital investments and annual expenses for these four different alternatives are:

Assume each press has the same output capacity of 150,000 units per year, has no salvage value at the end of its useful life, and the minimum attractive rate of return is 10%. The selling price for each plastic molded unit is $0.425 per unit.

a) Which press should you purchase if 150,000 nondefective units per year are produced by each press and all units can be sold?

b) Which press should you purchase is each press still produces 150,000 units per year, but the estimated unit reject rate is 7.4% for P1, 1.3% for P2, 2.6% for P3, and 4.6% for P4, where all nondefective units are sold but the defective units have no market value?

On January 1, 2020, Caliber Corporation issued 9% bonds dated January 1, 2020, with a face amount of $10 million. The bonds mature in 2029 (10 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity, the market yield is 10%. Interest is paid annually on December 31.

1. What is the amount of the annual interest payment?

2. What is the price of the bond on the issue date? (state method used)

3. Was the bond sold at a discount or a premium? Explain why.

4. What is the "actual" cost of this debt?

5. What is the price of the bond if the market yield is 8%? (state method used)

6. Is this bond sold at a discount or premium? Explain why.

7. What is the "actual" cost of this debt?

Avoparcin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, was widely used in animal feed in Denmark. Vancomycin is another glycopeptide. In 1995, the percent of vancomycin-resistance Enterococcus faecalis (VRE) isolated from pigs was 100. The use of avoparcin was banned in Denmark in 1995. In 2002, Danish scientists reported that 20% of their E. faecalis isolates was vancomycin resistant. Explain why the percent of VRE decreased and why VRE in pigs is important to humans.
