An entrepreneur has 2000 shares. An angel invested $1000 for 1000 shares.  A new investor would have been willing to invest $500 for 1000 shares if there were no ratchet in the first round (a price of $0.50) per share. So the total value of the venture is $2000 and the new investor would own 25% of the value. At what price per share would the new investor be willing to invest if the first-round investor has a full ratchet?

C++ DO not use arrays to write this program.

Write a program that repeatedly generates three random integers in the range [1, 100] and continues as follows:

  • If the right-most digit of all the three integers is equal, the program displays them in ascending order on the screen and continues. If the generated integers have different right-most digits, they are not displayed and the program continues. The program terminates once the right-most digits of all the three random numbers are equal to 0. For example, assuming:
    • the first three random integers are: 98, 23, 48
    • the second three random integers are: 45, 5, 75
    • the third three random integers are: 4, 95, 33
    • the fourth three random integers are: 11, 61, 21
    • the fifth three random integers are: 100, 20, 40 ---------> The program terminates as all the three numbers end with 0

The output will be:

5, 45, 75

11, 21, 61

20, 40, 100

Please notice that all the numbers are not displayed at the end of the program. Every line is displayed in one iteration and the last line is displayed in the last iteration of your loop.

  • If the very first set of numbers generated all end with zero, for example, the first three integers are: 50, 40, 10, after the program shows these three numbers in ascending order, it also displays: "... are your lucky numbers."

So, the output would be:

10, 40, 50 are your lucky numbers.

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase.

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase. Some students suggest that the price increased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased Other students attribute the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in the price of calzones at local pizza parlors. 


Everyone agrees that the increase in the price of calzones was caused by a recent increase in the price of pizza dough, which is not generally used in making cheeseburgers. Assume that burger joints and pizza parlors are entirely separate entities-that is, there aren't places that serve both cheeseburgers and calzones. 


The first group of students thinks the increase in the price of cheeseburgers is due to the fact that the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased.

On the following graph, adjust the supply and demand curves to illustrate the first group's explanation for the increase in the price of cheeseburgers.

The second group of students attributes the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to the increase in the price of calzones at local pizza parlors.

On the following graph, adjust the supply and demand curves to illustrate the second group's explanation for the increase in the price of cheeseburgers.

Suppose that both of the events you have just analyzed are partly responsible for the increase in the price of cheeseburgers. Based on your analysis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the increase in the price of cheeseburgers?

  • If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.

  • If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift.

  • Whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.

  • If the price increase was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.

Discount Bonds

Discount bonds such as Treasury bills have no stated interest rate. They are sold at a discount from face value, F. The yield or nominal interest rate is the percentage increase above the purchase price, P. The yield, i, is found as

                i = ((F – P)/P) * 100

You multiply by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage.

An example:

Assume F = 1000 and P = 950 for a 1-year discount bond. Its yield is

         ((1000-950)/950)*100

         = (50/950)* 100

         = (0.0526) * 100

         = 5.26%

  1. For a 1-year discount bond, if F =1000 and P = 950, the yield is

___5.26%________?

  1. For a 1-year discount bond, if F =2000 and P = 1950, the yield is

____2.56%________?

  1. If a one-year $10,000 discount bond has a yield of 5%, its price is ___$95281_______?

(Hint, find the present value of the bond using its yield.)

  1. If a two-year discount bond has a face value of $5000 and a yield of 3%, its price is __________?

Rate of Return

  1. If a bond has a current yield of 4% and a capital gain of 3%, its rate of return is _______?
  1. If a bond has a current yield of 6% and a rate of return of 4%, it has a _____ capital gain or loss.

  1. If a bond has a 2% rate of return and a capital loss of 4%, its current yield is ________?

Real and Nominal Interest Rates

  1. If the nominal interest rate is 3% and expected inflation is -1%, the real interest rate is ___________?

  1. If the nominal interest rate is 6%, the expected rate of inflation is 5% and the actual rate of inflation is 3%, the ex post real interest rate is __________?

  1. If the expected rate of inflation is 4% and the ex ante real interest rate is 4%, the nominal interest rate is _______?

On an intelligence​ test, the mean number of raw items correct is 233 and the standard deviation is 39. What are the raw​ (actual) scores on the test for people with IQs of​ (a) 120​, ​(b) 87​, and​ (c) 100​? To do this​ problem, first figure the Z score for the particular IQ​ score; then use that Z score to find the raw score. Note that IQ scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. ​(b) What is the raw​ (actual) score on the test for people with an IQ of 87​?
