1. Your team would like to calculate the attributable risk or attributable proportion of CHF death rates due to smoking 1-14 and 15-24 cigarettes per day separately for males and females. Do you notice any differences within and between these groups in death rates due to CHF based on the different number of cigarettes smoked per day?
2. What can the team conclude about the death rate due to CHF for males and females separately when zero cigarettes per day are smoked? How do they compare?

What is the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for the project if the cost of capital is 10%? Would you accept the project under the MIRR rule?

1) Accept the project since the MIRR is 22.71% 2) Accept the project since the MIRR is 15.94% 3) Accept the project since the MIRR is 12.49% 4) Reject the project since the MIRR is 9.53% 5) Reject the project since the MIRR is 9.35%

Calculate the implied forward rates on one-year securties using the unbiased expectations theory. Keep the calculated value in one cell and make it as general as possible, i.e. use formulas such as COUNT, SUM, PRODUCT, etc. (Hint: Use COUNT() for the N value.)

??1=1+1???1+1??−1?−1−1 Nf_1=[(1+1R_N )^N/(1+1R_(N-1) )^(N-1) ]-1

Why is the calculated implied forward rate more than the zero-coupon?
