BMY and CELG Acquization

1. Changes or shocks in macroeconomic (e.g., interest rates), industry (e.g., oil price, consumer preferences) or global factors (e.g., tariffs and trade agreements) often leads to opportunities to create value through mergers and acquisitions. Articulate and analyze each of the main specific changes/shocks in factors that you believe are leading to the merger between BMY and CELG.

2. How will the merger help the acquirer address the impact of the above changes/shocks in factors you listed?

4. In the key change operation of 20.15.7 Key Changes, suppose the manager simply transmitted delta2 = oldkey XOR newkey to the agent.

1. Suppose an eavesdropper discovers delta2 and also knows a few bits of oldkey. What can the eavesdropper learn about newkey? Would the same vulnerability apply to the mechanism of 20.15.7 Key Changes?
2. Suppose an eavesdropper later discovers newkey. Explain how to recover oldkey, and why this does not work when the mechanism of 20.15.7 Key Changes is used.

1- What is the difference between energy and intensity as far as light waves are concerned? How would you change the energy? How would you change the intensity? Are these changes independent of one another? Why or why not?

a- Discuss what changes you might expect to see if the energy of the light wave was changed for the double slit experiment. Why?

b- Discuss what changes you might expect to see if the intensity of the light wave was changed for the double slit experiment. Why?

Suppose the amount of time needed to change the oil in a car is uniformly distributed between 14 minutes and 30 minutes, with a mean of 22 minutes and a standard deviation of 4.6 minutes.

Let X represent the amount of time, in minutes, needed to complete a randomly selected oil change. What is the probability that a randomly selected oil change takes at most 20 minutes to complete?

Assuming a randomly selected oil change has already taken 18 minutes and it is still not complete, what is the probability that the oil change takes no more than 5 additional minutes to complete?

Find the value that best completes the following statement: The slowest 20% of oil changes take at least __________ minutes to complete. Suppose 3 oil changes are selected at random.

Let Y be defined as the number of oil changes that take more than 20 minutes to complete in a random sample of 3. What is the probability that exactly 2 of the 3 randomly selected oil changes take more than 20 minutes to complete?

Suppose 500 oil changes are selected at random. What model would you use to approximate the probability that at least 190 of the randomly selected oil changes take at most 20 minutes to complete? Provide the approximate model with corresponding parameters.

2. The chair of the Criminal Justice department wants to know if students are generally satisfied with their selection of CJ as a major and if there is a difference in perceptions when students with different educational experiences are compared. She administered a survey to a sample of 100 students, 25 students at each academic rank. Based on the information included in the following table…. [Hint: chi-sq. = 20.49]

2.1. Formulate the null and research/alternative hypotheses.

2.2. Calculate the chi-square

2.3. Report the critical chi-square at the corresponding probability level [.05]and degrees of freedom

2.4. Test the null hypothesis and reach a statistical conclusion

2.5. Interpret your results

Write an analysis in which you address the following: • Select two publicly-traded companies within the same industry and present the DuPont analysis for each of these companies. Explain how the debt has served to influence the ROE DuPont performance results for each, and then describe how volatility plays a role in the debt choices in the context of this DuPont analysis. • Consider each of the following capital structure theories: the tradeoff theory, the signaling theory, the debt financing to constrain the manager’s argument, and the pecking order hypothesis. Briefly describe each of these, and then order them in terms of which theory you believe to be most persuasive down to which you believe to be least persuasive. Form arguments defending your rankings and reference and discuss related academic studies to support your position.

My son plays basketball for a small private college in Iowa. During the recruiting process, the college coaches face an information asymmetry problem -- they can observe a recruit's playing skills by watching games and practice sessions, but they cannot gather full information about other personal characteristics that are important in college athletics (e.g., academic ability, work ethic and emotional maturity). For this reason, the college coaches use a variety of sources to learn about the recruits, including social media posts. Accordingly, the recruits are advised to be careful about what they post on social media. Many employers also use social media to learn about job candidates due to information asymmetry problems. Is this practice fair? Should employers use this sort of personal information to make decisions about potential work performance?

Your answer to Section A should be about 250 words.

1. In the Introduction to the Course, we discussed three processes of globalization in the world economy: internationalization, liberalization, and the information and communications technological revolution(s). Explain the meaning of these terms, how they differ, and how they are important. Use specific empirical examples to clarify the abstract terms and illustrate the conceptual differences.

Here are the projected numbers (in thousands) of earned degrees in a certain country during one academic year, classified by level and by the sex of the degree recipient:

Use these data to answer the following questions.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen degree recipient is a man? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(b) What is the conditional probability that the person chosen received a bachelor's degree, given that he is a man? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(c) Use the multiplication rule to find the probability of choosing a male bachelor's degree recipient. Check your result by finding this probability directly from the table of counts. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
