5.1.4 Creating synthetic positions.
5.2 Explain FOUR (4) differences between a forward contract and a future contract.

Question 1:   Please explain the difference between the commerce clause and the due process clause. Why are these two clauses so relevant in state and local tax cases? Please be specific and provide examples in your answer.

Question 2: South Dakota v. Wayfair has been called the "tax case of the millennium." Explain why this SCOTUS decision is so important for nexus purposes. Also, what issues were left unanswered by the decision.

Question 4: For corporate income tax purposes, explain why many states are adopting market based sourcing for services?

Question 5: What is the importance of the Multistate Tax Compact , the Uniform Division of Income for Tax Purposes Act (UTIPTA) and the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement

Incarceration rates vary from state to state. We must remember that correlation is not causation, but we can ask: “What state level factors might be associated with the state incarceration rate?”

1. Before you look at the data below, state appropriate null and research hypotheses concerning the relationship between Incarceration Rate and Median State Income.
   
   Using the data below, calculate:
2. The prediction equation (least squares line)
3. The Coefficient of Determination
4. Pearson's r
5. Predicted Incarceration Rate for Nebraska based on regression analysis using Median State Household Income.
6. Would multiple regression be a useful statistical tool for further analysis of these data? Why or why not? You do not need to do any calculations to answer this section of the question
7. Incarceration Rate and Median Household Income graph below

8. Please show work. Class does not use SPSS or excel for problems. Thank you.

1. Explain the concept of transport maximum. Under what scenario would glucose appear in the urine?
2. Explain in detail the process that establishes and maintains the medullary osmotic gradient in the kidneys. Then describe the effect this osmotic gradient has on the water in the renal tubules.

Three fair dice colored red, blue and green are rolled.

1. What will you choose the sample space to be in this case? How many atomic events are there in the sample space? What probability distribution will you use to model this problem?

2. What is the probability that exactly two of the dice roll the same number?

3. What is the probability that all three dice roll distinct numbers?

4. What is the probability that at least two of the dice roll the same number?

Give explanations for all your answers and show all the steps involved.

How the section 179 and bonus depreciation deductions work. Include in your discussion:

1. What types of property are eligible under each?

2. Are there any limits on the deduction? If so, can you carry over any amounts to future years?

3. What will happen to the bonus depreciation deduction in future years?

4. Why would Congress implement these types of deductions?

5. Can you use both at the same time? If so, how does that work?

Female primates visibly display their fertile window, often with red or pink coloration. Do humans also do this? A study looked at whether human females are more likely to wear red or pink during their fertile window (days 6-14 of their cycle). They collected data on 24 female undergraduates at the University of British Columbia, and asked each how many days it had been since her last period, and observed the color of her shirt. Of the 10 females in their fertile window, 4 were wearing red or pink shirts. Of the 14 females not in their fertile window, only 1 was wearing a red or pink shirt.

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (2 points)

(b) Calculate the relevant sample statistic, ?̂? −?̂??, for the difference in proportion wearing a pink or red shirt between the fertile and not fertile groups. (2 points)

(c) For the 1000 statistics obtained from the simulated randomization samples, only 6 different values of the statistic, ?̂? − ?̂?? are possible. The table below shows the number of times each difference occurred among the 1000 randomizations. Calculate the p-value. (2 points) Randomization distribution for difference in proportion wearing red or pink in 1000 samples ?̂? −?̂?? −0.357 −0.186 −0.014 0.157 0.329 0.500 Count 39 223 401 264 68 5

(d) Interpret the p-value. (1 point)
