Ninety days ago, a British firm bought merchandise from a Dutch company for €100,000. The exchange rate at the time of the sale was £0.855/€. The firm chose not to hedge to reduce or eliminate the risk of changes in the exchange rate. If the exchange rate changes to £0.845/€, then what profit or loss will the British firm realize?
Ninety days ago, a British firm sold merchandise to a Spanish company for €500,000. The exchange rate at the time of the sale was £0.870/€. Forty-five days ago, the firm chose to hedge to reduce or eliminate the risk of changes in the exchange rate by entering a forward contract that locked in an exchange rate of £0.891/€. If the exchange rate today is £0.897/€, then how much will the British firm be paid in pounds?

Which of the following best describes the differences between the arithmetic mean and geometric mean growth rates?
The procedures used to calculate the geometric mean growth rate and arithmetic
mean growth rate are somewhat different, but produce the same result.
The geometric mean growth rate calculation takes into account changes in the basis, while the arithmetic mean growth rate does not.
The arithmetic mean growth rate is preferable to the geometric mean growth rate when calculating rates of return based on changes in stock price.
The geometric mean growth rate is preferable to the arithmetic mean growth rate when calculating rates of return based on changes in stock price.
More than one of the answers is correct.

You are asked to trace the effects of such a mutation from the level of nucleotide sequence all the way to cell function.
Part 1: Name and describe at least 2 varieties of mutations that occur at the single nucleotide level.
Part 2: Remember the Central Dogma? Be able to step through the effects of this type of mutation from changes in nucleotide sequence to changes in protein structure and function to changes in cell function (from DNA to RNA to protein).
Part 3: Following (b) above, given a mutation in a specific protein that we’ve talked about, for instance: cytochrome C, chlorophyll, or the proton pump, what would be the possible effects on cell function resulting from this specific mutation? Explain in detail.

Suppose the utility function for goods q1 and q2 is given by U(q1, q2) = q1q2 + q2 6 (a) Calculate the uncompensated (Marshallian) demand functions for q1 and q2 2 (b) Describe how the uncompensated demand curves for q1 and q2 are shifted by changes in income (Y) or the price of the other good. 3 (c) Calculate the expenditure function for q1 and q2 such that minimum expenditure = E(p1, p2, U) 4 (d) Use the expenditure function calculated in part (c) to compute the compensated demand (Hicksian) functions for goods q1 and q2. 2 (e) Describe how the compensated demand curves for q1 and q2 are shifted by changes in income (Y) or by changes in the price of the other good
