Explain the key features and main findings of Rajan & Zingales 1995 study on the capital structure of firms.

Discuss the consistency of mutual fund performance results, as studied by Goetzmann and Ibbotson (1994) and Malkiel (1995).

1. By January 2014 the US population had grown to 317.3 million and the US Federal Debt was a reported $17.3 trillion. Calculate the January 2014 Federal Debt per capita and use the calculation in a meaningful sentence.

2. From class we learned that in 2010 the federal debt (in millions) was $13,561,623 and the population of the U.S. was 309 million. Use these values to compute the federal debt per capita in 2010.

3. In 1980, a Domino’s large pizza cost $4.99. What would be the cost of that pizza in 1995 dollars?

4. In 1986, a certain model of car cost $13,000. What would be the cost of that car in 2012 dollars? How does this compare to the actual cost of a typical new car in 2012?

5. According to a NY Times article on December 13, 2009, the average selling price of a 32” LCD TV was $600. What would be the cost of that same TV in 2015 dollars?

6. In 2009, the price of a package of crayons was $2.80. If it was the year 1988, what would the price be?

7. Use the chart below to answer: Using the starting value of $112 in 1995, which year was a better price when considering inflation? 2000, 2007 or 2011? (Assume that 1995 is a fair value for the goods and services.)

Consider an epidemic disease in a country;

The daily emergence of the disease is given in the table below. The first day is the 18th of March, and the last day of the record is the 7th of May. The record is five days apart. There are no records either earlier or later than the dates, or between the dates.

x=0.83.

a) draw a graphic/chart for daily emergence of the epidemic disease, by hand or by using a program,

b) calculate emergence speed of the disease (rate of change (dEp/dt), Ο(h² error level)) for each date and draw a graphic for it.

c) calculate the rate of change of the speed (acceleration of the epidemic (d²Ep/dt²), Ο(h² error level)) for each date and make a graphic, also.

d) what is the total number of infected people during the time period. (use at least two solution techniques and discuss)

e) what is the number of infected people on the 31^st of March.

f) what is going to be the number of infected people on the 9^th of May.

Hornet Motors purchased a custom-made metal press for use in repairing wrecked cars.  The press was installed on January 2, 2016. The press had a market value of $300,000. Hornet agreed to pay for the press in three equal installments beginning December 31, 2016. At the time, Hornet's incremental borrowing rate was 7%.

Required:  Compute the installment payments and prepare the three year amortization table for the note payable. Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase of the machine, the first annual payment, and the final payment on the note.

I do not understand how do you get the cash payments.

Michael M. Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $265,000 is estimated to result in $112,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS 5-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $48,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $12,000. The inventory will return to its original level when the project ends. The shop's tax rate is 30 percent and its discount rate is 8 percent. Should the firm buy and install the machine press? Why or why not?

Blue line machine shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $485,000 is estimated to result in $179,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRs five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $45,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $15,000, along with an additional $4,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 35 percent and the project's required return is 9 percent, should the company buy and install the machine press?

Cost-Cutting ProposalsStarset Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $670,000 is estimated to result in $245,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the 5-year MACRS class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $55,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $20,000, along with an additional $2,500 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop’s tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent, should the company buy and install the machine press?
