Surprise! Jamie Lee and Ross were stunned to find that their family of two has grown to a family of five! They were expecting twins, but when the babies were born, they discovered that they were actually the parents of triplets!

Ross immediately had worries of being able to provide for the growing family: diapers, formula, college expenses times three! What if something happened to him or Jamie Lee? How would the surviving parent be able to provide for such a large family?

Jamie Lee and Ross decided to purchase life insurance for Ross because his is the higher income at this time and because it would be more devastating if his income was lost due to his death. They have allowed $8,500 for funeral costs.

Calculate their living expenses for 6 months to include all monthly expenses, excluding credit card debt and entertainment. Note that Ross's mother lives close and will be providing childcare to their triplets once Jamie Lee goes back to work at the bakery for half days. His mom will have a hired nanny to assist, which will cost them $1,200 a month. Use the table below to determine the amount Jamie Lee and Ross should use when shopping for life insurance. Each answer must have a value for the assignment to be complete. Enter "0" for any unused categories.

The extinction coefficients of the four natural nucleoside-5’monophosphates pdA, pdG, pdC and pdT at 260 nm are 1.506*10⁴ , 1.218*10⁴ , 7.10*10³ , and 8.56*10³ L/mol/cm, respectively (Cavaluzzi, M.J., Nucleic Acids Res., 2004, 32, e13). Please determine:

a) The extinction coefficient of a single-stranded, 5’-phosphorylated Dickerson Dodecamer sequence d(pCGCGAATTCGCG).

Answer: ε260 = 1.244*10^5. HOw they got that?

b) Please calculate absorbance and percent transmittance of a 10 micromolar (μM) solution of the single-stranded Dickerson Dodecamer, as described in (a), at 260 nm when a cell with the path length of 1.0 cm was used.

What is A? %T?

I don't know the answer for that.

As of 12/31/03, an insurance company has a known obligation to pay $1,000,000 on

12/31/2007. To fund this liability, the company immediately purchases 4-year 5% annual

coupon bonds totaling $822,703 of par value. The company anticipates reinvestment interest

rates to remain constant at 5% through 12/31/07. The maturity value of the bond equals

the par value. Under the following reinvestment interest rate movement scenarios effective

1/1/2004, what best describes the insurance companys profit or (loss) as of 12/31/2007 after

the liability is paid?

(a) Interest rates drop by 1/2%

Graphically illustrate the impact of the following events on real GDP per capita in a balanced- growth-path equilibrium. Keep in mind that the Solow model graph provides qualitative predictions for variables such as real GDP per effective worker (y), and that real GDP per capita is given by Y/L = A × y.

1. a) For the first time in modern history, the birthrate in Japan falls below the mortality rate. (5 points)

2. b) A megathrust earthquake, much like the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, along the Cas- cadia subduction zone destroys all buildings and infrastructure in Washington, Oregon, and northern California. Due to a newly developed earthquake early warning system, the loss of life is minimal.1 (5 points)

The 2.4 billion working people in the developing countries often have to endure employment conditions, which do not meet even basic occupational safety and health (OSH) standards. The lack of work safety, excessive workloads, and occupational physical, chemical and biological exposures result in occupational diseases, injuries and as many as 1.2 million fatalities each year. Furthermore, as little as 15% of workers in the developing countries have access to occupational health and safety services.” (Rantanen et al., 2004).

In your own words, to what extent do you agree with the information provided by the quote above? Support your argument by giving further details about developing and developed countries with examples of the services.
