An investor purchased the following five bonds. Each bond had a par value of $1,000 and a 11% yield to maturity on the purchase day. Immediately after the investor purchased them, interest rates fell, and each then had a new YTM of 5%. What is the percentage change in price for each bond after the decline in interest rates? Fill in the following table. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your monetary answers to the nearest cent and percentage answers to two decimal places.

Find the best regression equation that gives selling price as a function of living area, taxes, acreage and rooms.

Your client wants to purchase stock on margin. You assess the client and the stock and decide that a 40% margin is appropriate. Commissions are 1% and the rate of interest on margin loans is 8%. The current price of the stock is $100/share and your client wants to purchase 1,000 shares.

a. How much cash must your client put into the acc ount to support the initial purchase?

b. Below what price would the price of the stock have to drop for there tois a margin call witha maintenance margin of 30%?

c. What is the profit or loss on this transaction if the client sells the stock 6 months later for $80 a share?

d. What is the profit or loss on this transaction if the client sells the stock 6 months later for $120 a share?

Mario consumes eggplants and tomatoes in the ratio of 1 bushel of eggplants per 1 bushel of tomatoes. His garden yields 30 bushels of eggplants and 10 bushels of tomatoes. He initially faced prices of $25 per bushel for each vegetable, but the price of eggplants rose to $100 per bushel, while the price of tomatoes stayed unchanged. After the price change, he would

a. increase his eggplant consumption by 6 bushels.

b. decrease his eggplant consumption by at least 6 bushels.

c. increase his consumption of eggplants by 8 bushels.

d. decrease his consumption of eggplants by 8 bushels. e. decrease his tomato consumption by at least 1 bushel.

1. A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by Q^D= 100 – P/3 and has a cost function described by C = 30Q +1.5Q². Solve for the monopolist’s profit maximizing output and price.
2. With reference to question 4 above, suppose the demand facing the monopolist increases to Q^D= 120 – P/2. Solve for the new profit maximizing values of price and quantity. Describe how the two answers differ and explain those differences in terms of the demand change.
3. The market for coats is perfectly competitive with market supply given by Q^S= 2500 + 40P and market demand given by Q^D given by Q^D= 7500 – 10P. Solve for the equilibrium values of price and quantity. Calculate the values of elasticity of demand and elasticity of supply at the equilibrium.

A real estate developer wishes to study the relationship between the size of home a client will purchase (in square feet) and other variables. Possible independent variables include the family income, family size, whether there is a senior adult parent living with the family (1 for yes, 0 for no), and the total years of education beyond high school for the husband and wife. The sample information is reported below.

1. Develop an appropriate multiple regression equation using stepwise regression. (Use Excel data analysis and enter number of family members first, then their income and delete any insignificant variables. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. R and R2 adj are in percent values. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

One of the questions in a study of marital satisfaction of dual-career couples was to rate the statement, "I'm pleased with the way we divide the responsibilities for childcare." The ratings went from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). The table below contains ten of the paired responses for husbands and wives. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to see if the mean difference in the husband's versus the wife's satisfaction level is negative (meaning that, within the partnership, the husband is happier than the wife). Wife's score 3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4

Husband's score 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4

NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)

A) State the distribution to use for the test. (Enter your answer in the form z or t_df where df is the degrees of freedom.)

B) What is the test statistic? (If using the z distribution round your answer to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answer to three decimal places.)

C) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

D) Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value.

E) Alpha (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)
α =

Martin Luther King, Jr. was many things, a civil rights activist, nonviolent protestor, organizer, teacher, son, husband, father, and a black man. Many forget that he was first, a Christian Southern Baptist minister and preacher. His religious faith informed his ethical actions. After reading selections from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, Letters from the Birmingham Jail, explore the role of Christian ethics in King’s actions during the turbulent times in the South in the 1960s. Consider the following:

1) King was in Birmingham to address the issue of injustice by organizing a protest. Define the injustice and the protest and explain how Judeo-Christian ethics were applied to allow for civil disobedience. How was the injustice in Birmingham tied to all communities in the South?

2) King lists four steps to nonviolent campaigns. Name them. How did these flow from King’s Christian ethical principles?

3) What was MLK's opinion of the old saying, "an eye for an eye"? How did MLK regard the notion that justice meant "evening the score?

4) How do King’s ethical principles help him defend against the charges that his protests and law breaking were “untimely” considering the political situation in Birmingham at the time?

5) Consider areas of conflict in the world today. Pick one and discuss how King’s actions and his ethical principles might resolve the issue.

NOTE: I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A WHOLE ESSAY AS AN ANSWER, HOWEVER, A SENTENCE OR TWO PER QUESTION WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

Thompson operated an ice-cream truck owned by Smith Foods Ltd. During the summer months Thompson travelled throughout the residential areas of a large city selling ice-cream products. Thompson’s principal customers were children, and Thompson would drive along the streets ringing a series of bells attached to his truck to signal his arrival in the area. Alberta, a five-year-old child, and her brother were regular customers of Thompson. On the day in question the two children heard the bells that sig- nalled the approach of Thompson’s ice-cream truck. Martha, Alberta’s mother, was talking to her husband on the telephone at the moment that the ice-cream truck arrived. In response to the cries of her two small children for money to buy ice-cream, she gave them enough money to buy an ice-cream bar each. The children ran across the street to where the truck was parked, and each ordered a different ice-cream product. Thompson served Alberta first, and then turned to serve her brother. At that instant, Alberta ran

into the street, with the intention of returning home, and was struck by a car driven by Donaldson.

Alberta was seriously injured as a result of the accident and an action for damages was brought against Thompson, the operator of the ice-cream truck, Smith Foods Ltd., the owner of the truck, and Donaldson, the owner and driver of the automobile.

Discuss the basis of the action on Alberta’s behalf against the owners and drivers of the vehicles, and determine the basis of the liability of each party under the law of torts.

Render a decision.
