Consider the steady, incompressible blood flow through the following vascular network: 100 µm diameter which is 80 mm in length to the first branching point, which can be estimated as a standard tee (flow through run), the branch off the tee turns 45 degrees and undergoes a constriction to 65 µm diameter and the flow through run continues for another 80 mm. The velocity of the blood into the 100 µm diameter vessel is 100 mm/s and 20% of the mass flow rate exits via the branch.

a) What are the velocities of both the run and branch?

b) What is the change in pressure from the inlet to the end of the run?

c) What length would the branch need to be to achieve the same pressure drop?

d) What assumptions did you make in completing this problem.

You are responsible for managing a performance-based advertising campaign for your company that provides Indian cuisine cooking classes that cost $100 per student. You have a budget of $300 per day. The search terms you decide to bid on are cooking classes and Indian cooking classes. You initially allocate $200 per day to the first campaign and $100 to the second. Over time you realise that “cooking classes” generates on average 500 clicks per day resulting in sales of $5000. “Indian cooking classes” generates on average 100 clicks resulting in sales of $3000. Which campaign would appear to be the most effective? Calculate the CPC and ROI for each campaign to justify your response. Feel free to use your computer or a calculator to help you work out the answers.

Charlene Hickman expected the price of Bio International shares to drop in the near future in response to the expected failure of its new drug to pass FDA tests. As a​ result, she sold short 100 shares of Bio International at ​$26.91.

First calculate the delta of the following option. Then use this delta to ESTIMATE the new price of a European call option if the stock price increases by $4. The option has the following the following initial parameters:

s0 = $40
k = $35
r = 10%
sigma = 20%
T = 0.75 years

Suppose you believe that Johnson Company's stock price is going to increase from its current level of $40 sometime during the next 5 months. For $400 you can buy a 5-month call option giving you the right to buy 100 shares at a price of $60 per share. If you buy this option for $500 and Johnson's stock price actually rises to $70, would you exercise your call option? AND what would be your pre-tax net profit or loss from holding this option?

The supply curve for rental cars in San Francisco is given by the equation Qs=100+8p. The demand curve for rental cars is given by the equation Qd=500-2P. P is the daily rental price, in dollars, and Q is the number of rentals per day.

a. Use algebra to determine the equilibrium price and quantity of rental cars in San Francisco. Show your work. Be sure to include the units of measurement in your answers.

b. Draw a graph of the market for rental cars. On your graph, clearly label the axes, the demand and supply curves, and the equilibrium price and quantity.

3) A bond has four years to maturity, an 8% annual coupon and a par value of $100. The bond pays a continuously compounded interest of 5%.

a. What would the actual percentage change in the price of the bond be if the interest rate goes up from 5% to 6%?

b. What would be the percentage change in the price of the bond implied by the duration approximation?

c. What would be the percentage change in the price of the bond implied by the duration plus convexity approximation?

d. Why does adding the convexity term to the approximation improve it?

Kingbird Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO retail inventory method on January 1, 2016. At that time the inventory had a cost of $57,000 and a retail price of $100,000. The following information is available. Year-End Inventory at Retail Current Year Cost—Retail % Year End Price Index 2016 $133,560 56% 106 2017 146,520 59% 111 2018 124,120 60% 116 2019 168,750 57% 125 The price index at January 1, 2016, is 100. Compute the ending inventory at December 31 of the years 2016–2019.

1. Suppose that a firm’s short-run total cost function is STC= 0.1q² + 4q +100. Will the producer surplus at P=$15 be $302.5?
2. Suppose that a firm is price taker. If the price is equal to marginal cost, then the profit is being maximized.
3. If a firm wished to maximize profit, it will always reduce output if wage rates rise.
4. If a competitive firm's price is below its marginal cost, an increase in production will usually decrease profits.
5. A profit‑maximizing firm will never hire that quantity of a factor of production for which that factor has an increasing marginal productivity because it would not be maximizing profits.
