A borrower is repaying a loan with 10 annual installments of $2000. Half of the loan is repaid by the amortization method at an effective rate of i = .06. The other half of the loan is repaid by the sinking fund method in which the lender receives i = .06 and the sinking fund accumulates at i = .05. Find the amount of the loan to the nearest dollar.

1. Suppose there is a corporate bond. Its face value is $2000. And the maturity is 4 years. Its coupon is $10 issued at the end of each year. Its price is $1900 right now. The interest rates for bonds and stocks are 2% and 3%, respectively. The market price of stock of this company is $25 right now. And the shares outstanding is 25,000 shares. And the tax rate is 20%. The ratio of debt to equity is 0.2. (30 scores)

   1. What is the WACC in real term for this firm?

   2. What are the NPV and the YTM of the bond?

   3. Suppose the firm is going to repurchase some stocks now. It repurchased 5000 shares from the market at the current price. What is the stock price after the repurchase?

   4. Suppose the firm is going to split its stock. It is a 2-to-1 split. (a share becomes two.) It requires commission of $ 2000. What is the stock price afterwards?

   5. Suppose the firm issued cash dividend of $2 per share. What is the price afterwards?

Suppose that the annual demand for TV sets in Zirconia is P = 2000 - 2Q.

a. Suppose that TV's R Us Corporation has the sole rights to import TV sets into the country of Zirconia. TRUC has no fixed costs. It can import TV's for a price of $150 per set and its additional costs of selling a TV amount to $50 per set.

If it wishes to maximize profits, how many TV sets should TRUC sell per year, what price should it charge, and what will be its annual profits? (Show your computations.)

b. Suppose that a World Bank/IMF mission persuades the country of Zirconia to abandon its import license scheme, so that any firm that wishes to do so can import and sell TV sets. Assume that TV's can be imported for a price of $150 per set and the additional costs of selling a TV amount to $50 per set. What do you expect to be the price of TV sets sold in Zirconia and what will be the annual quantity of sets bought and sold? (Explain your reasoning.)

In a sample of 2000 American adults, 500 said they believed in astrology.

1. What is the point estimate of the corresponding population proportion?
2. Make a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion.

The key point of the case is : 6000 traditional bank jobs to go and 2000 new digital position created as NAB aims to move 60 percent of its business online over three years. redundancies are expected to cost up to $800 million. despite record underlying cash profit of $6.6bn, shares fall on cost blow out. question: write 10 academic references from which you will refer to theoretical issues.?using Harvard reference)

Two towns had a population of 12,000 in 1990. By 2000, the population of town A had increased by  13⁢ % while the population of town B had decreased by  13⁢ %. Assume these growth and decay rates continued.

a. Write two exponential population models A(T) and B(T) for towns A and B, respectively, where T is the number of decades since 1990.

A(T)=

12000*e0.12*T

B(T)=

12000*e−0.14*T

b. Write two new exponential models a(t) and b(t) for towns A and B, where t is the number of years since 1990.

Give the answers in the form C⋅at. Round the growth factor to four decimal places.

a(t)=

12000*1.13t

b(t)=

12000*0.87t

c. Find A(2), B(2), a(20), and b(20) and explain what you have found.

Round your answers to the nearest integer.

A(2)=

B(2)=

a(20)=

b(20)=

Each of these values represent the population

In a leadership role, you will learn that there is an abundance of responsibilities, especially with regard to making important decisions. Decisions can be harder to make if you have a close working relationship with individuals. Place yourself in the seat of a member on the leadership team (manager, director, CEO, president, VP, etc.). Pick a scenario, from the list below, and discuss how you would go about making your decision based on your knowledge.

• Layoffs: You are challenged with a decision to layoff a team member who has been loyal to the organization for many years and has ultimately become your friend.

• Hiring: There are two people who qualify, for a position, in your department. One person has years of experience while the other person has the education.

• Sexual harassment: An employee has filed sexual harassment against a manager, who happens to be a close confidante of yours.

• Theft: A manager is suspected of stealing from the organization. This manager happens to be your relative.

This is an opportunity to get creative and also showcase your leadership skills. You may fill in the blanks however you would like. Be specific in providing the details of the scenario you choose. Additionally, you will need to address the process of your thinking regarding how you would go about making your decision and why you would choose this decision. Please use subtitles for each section. The subtitles should be labeled as follows:

• Scenario (Discuss the scenario from the list and fill in the blanks to complete the situation.)
• Decision (Describe the process of thinking and why you chose this decision.)
• Position (This section will detail why you selected this decision.)
• Conclusion

In July 2000, the Protein Data Bank named the nucleosome “molecule of the month.” In an accompanying report, David Goodsell wrote that

"The job of the nucleosome is paradoxical, requiring it to perform two oppo- site functions simultaneously. On one hand, nucleosomes must be stable, forming tight, sheltering structures that compact the DNA and keep it from harm. On the other hand, nucleosomes must be labile enough to allow the information in the DNA to be used. Polymerases must be allowed access to the DNA, both to transcribe messenger RNA for building new proteins and to replicate the DNA when the cell divides."

Explain how nucleosomes help DNA to adopt a highly-compact structure while also keeping the DNA molecule accessible for transcription and replication?
