The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is fast becoming a requirement for serious investment professionals. It is an attractive alternative to getting an MBA for students wanting a career in investment. A student of finance is curious to know if a CFA designation is a more lucrative option than an MBA. He collects data on 38 recent CFAs with a mean salary of $138,000 and a standard deviation of $34,000. A sample of 80 MBAs results in a mean salary of $130,000 with a standard deviation of $46,000.

1) Calculate the value of the test statistic. Do not assume that the population variances are equal. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)

2) At the 5% significance level, is a CFA designation more lucrative than an MBA?

B. Suppose a 48-year-old salesperson earning $50,000 a year (after taxes) is considering a career move. Specifically, this person – who plans to retire when (s)he turns 62 regardless of job – is thinking about quitting sales work for 2 years to earn an MBA degree. With MBA degree in hand, suppose this person can become an executive and earn $75,000 per year (after taxes). Suppose MBA tuition is $30,000 per year. Suppose the relevant discount rate is 3.5% per year. Based on this information, demonstrate and explain how one could reckon whether or not this change promises to be a good move. You are expected to show how one would set up and perform the calculation(s).

Part 1

The United States' economy is growing at a faster rate than the economy of its trading partner, the United Kingdom. As a result, the rate of American inflation is increasing.

1. Draw correctly labeled graphs to show how the increase in inflation will affect the supply of the U.S. dollar and demand for the British pound in the foreign exchange market.
2. Based on the scenario, what will happen to the value of the U.S. dollar? Explain. (Make sure you use the costs of foreign and domestic goods in your explanation.)
3. Based on the changing value of the U.S. dollar in part (B), how will U.S. net exports be affected? Explain.

Part 2

The Federal Reserve decreases the money supply in the United States causing interest rates to increase.

1. Draw correctly labeled graphs to show how the increased interest rates in the scenario will affect the demand for the U.S. dollar and supply of the EU euro in the foreign exchange market.
2. Based on the scenario, what will happen to the value of the EU euro? Explain. (Make sure you use the concept of foreign financial investment in your explanation.)
3. Based on the changing value of the EU euro in part (B), how would U.S. aggregate demand be affected? Explain.
