The mean area of homes in a certain city built in 2009 was 2438 square feet. Assume that a simple random sample of 11 homes in the same city in 2010 had a mean area of 2,295 squarefeet, with a deviation of 225 square feet. An insurance company wants to know if the mean area of homes built in 2010 is less than that of homes built in 2009.

1. You and your friend Jack have different opinions about Tesla stock price. On Sep. 30, 2020, you did a short sale of Tesla stock at $429.01 for 1000 shares. The same day, Jack bought the Tesla stock at $429.01 for 1000 shares with margin. The initial margin and maintenance margin requirement for short sale is 150%. The initial margin and maintenance margin requirement for long on margin is 30% (assume no interest is charged on long on margin account). Below is the Tesla stock price in the next 2 days:

Oct. 01, 2020: $448.16

Oct. 02, 2020: $415.09.

1.Please calculate your daily margin ratio and Jack’s daily margin ratio for each of the next 2 days (Oct. 01 and Oct. 02). Please specify if margin call is received and how much money you or Jack need to deposit into the account after the margin call. (6 points)

2.If you and Jack both decide to close the account (i.e., selling the stock or covering the short selling position) after receiving the first margin call instead of depositing more money into the account, please calculate returns for both of you. (4 points)

December 31, 2020. The only temporary difference is accrued product warranty costs which are expected to be paid as follows:                                              
                                              
   2021       $720,000

The enacted income tax rates are 35% for 2020, 30% for 2021 through 2023, and 25% for 2024. If Canner expects taxable income in future years,                                               
the deferred tax asset in Canner's December 31, 2020 balance sheet should be                                              
a.   $432,000

       each of the next four years                           (960,000)      
   Taxable income                               1,980,000

3). Baker Corp.'s 2020 income statement had pretax financial income of $500,000 in its first year of operations. Baker uses an accelerated cost                                           
recovery method on its tax return and straight-line depreciation for financial reporting. The differences between the book and tax deductions                                           
for depreciation over the five-year life of the assets acquired in 2020, and the enacted tax rates for 2020 to 2024 are as follows:                                          
                                          
       Book Depreciation                                   
       Over (Under) Tax           Tax Rates                      
   2020       (100,000)       35%                      
   2021       (130,000)       30%                      
   2022       (30,000)       30%                      
   2023       120,000       30%                      
   2024       140,000       30%                      
                                          
There are no other temporary differences. In Baker's December 31, 2020 balance sheet, the noncurrent deferred income tax liability and                                           
the income taxes currently payable should be

• Use Excel to conduct a regression of the values of the security against the predictors and verify the validity of underlying assumptions
  • Check for homoscedasticity and serial correlation
  • If necessary, rerun the regression using robust standard errors
  • Look for evidence of multicollinearity and eliminate redundant predictors if necessary

This policy ensures that all students in grades one to nine are physically active for at least thirty minutes each day through activities organized by the school (Alberta, 2020). Being active is being healthy. As was mentioned in the Dr. Christine Kennedy’s article schools have the potential to help children develop lifelong, healthy eating patterns and encourage physical activity; research supports school-based interventions to increase physical activity and decrease obesity (Kennedy, 2010).

Giving the kids an opportunity to have an active form of break, allows them to get the proper physical attention to the young body. This increase the overall mental and physical health. Kids between ages of 6 to 14 are in the most important period of they life, when the body and bones are forming. Therefore, this initiative that came to Alberta schools in 2005 was widely accepted and implemented by all the schools across the province.

come up with a discussion question. Something that a rival or someone who is against this policy would say.

1. Suppose you are fresh out of college and plan to immediately start working and retire in 40 years, after which you plan to live for another 20 years after retirement.  Assuming that the interest rate from now until the end of retirement will average about 5% and that your income before retirement will likely be about $80,000 per year, how much should you save annually between now and retirement:
   1. If you want to replace about 75% of your pre-retirement income after retirement?

2. If you want to spend the same amount of money after retirement as you did before retirement?

Instructions: Prepare a classified balance sheet in good form (with the proper three-line heading) as of December 31, 2019.

Consider a set of n boxes with their positions numbered from 1 to n. Initially all the boxes
are CLOSED. These n boxes are subject to modifications over n iterations as follows. At the ith
iterations the boxes at the positions whose ids are multiples of i are flipped, i.e. changed from
CLOSED to OPEN or vice-versa. For example, at iteration 1, boxes at all positions are
flipped, at iteration 2, boxes at positions 2,4,6,etc. are flipped, at iteration 3, boxes at positions 3,6,9, etc.
are flipped.
Propose an algorithm for find out, that after n such iterations how many boxes will be OPEN.
Note that the answer requires only how many boxes, not their positions. Describe the rationale
for the algorithm, give the pseudocode, and its complexity. Grading scheme: (your grade will be
based on whichever class your algorithm falls in)
- For algorithms with complexity O(n2) or higher.
- For algorithms with complexity O(kn), where k is the number of digits of n.
- For algorithms with complexity O(M(k)), where k is the number of digits of n, and M(k) is
the complexity of multiplying two k digit numbers.
