Write a program to gauge the rate of inflation for the past year. The program asks for the price of an item (such as a hot dog or a one carat diamond) both one year ago and today. It estimates the inflation rate as the difference in price divided by the year ago price. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes. Define a function to compute the rate of inflation. The inflation rate should be a value of type double giving the rate as a percent, for example 5.3 for 5.3%.

You are an investor with an investment horizon of one year and a certain degree of risk aversion. Your task is to determine the efficient frontier in the case of two risky securities and one risk-free (T-bill) security and select the optimal portfolio depending on your risk-aversion parameter. You need to do your work on an EXCEL SPREADSHEET!
*Note: select two risky securities and one risk-free (T-bill) security OF YOUR CHOICE.
1- Choose
A well-diversified risky bond B represented by its E(RB) and STDB.
A well-diversified stock fund S represented by its E(RS) and STDS.
A T-bill with one-year maturity represented by RF.
2- Choose a correlation coefficient between B and S.
3- Make simulations on STD and E(R) of a "complete" portfolio
(formed with B and S) by varying the weights allocated on B and
S.
4- Construct and graph the opportunity set (feasible set) for B and
S from your simulations.
5- Compute the weights of the tangent portfolio (T).
6- Compute the STDT and E (RT) of the tangent portfolio (T).
7- Add the T-bill to your portfolio and redo step 3. 8- Repeat step 4 with the T-bill rate.
9- Choose different risk aversion parameters and determine your
optimal weights in T and F and for the implied optimal portfolio
compute the E(R) and STD.
10- Provide a summary of your results
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP :)

Many taxpayers are surprised when they are hit by the AMT at year end and there is pressure to repeal it. Research and find the average percentage of taxpayers, individuals and corporations that have been subject to AMT in the last 5 years. Comment on your findings and discuss whether the AMT should be maintained or repealed and provide justifications for your position.

Changing the Cost Formula for a Month to the Cost Formula for a Year
During the past year, the high and low use of three different resources for Fly High Airlines occurred in July and April. The resources are airplane depreciation, fuel, and airplane maintenance. The number of airplane flight hours is the driver. The total costs of the three resources and the related number of airplane flight hours are as follows:
Resource |
Airplane Flight Hours |
Total Cost |
|||
| Airplane depreciation: | |||||
| High | 44,000 | $ 18,500,000 | |||
| Low | 28,000 | $ 18,500,000 | |||
| Fuel: | |||||
| High | 44,000 | 445,896,000 | |||
| Low | 28,000 | 283,752,000 | |||
| Airplane maintenance: | |||||
| High | 44,000 | 16,272,000 | |||
| Low | 28,000 | 12,256,000 | |||
Required:
If required, round calculations and answers to nearest dollar.
1. Develop an annual cost formula for airplane depreciation.
Total annual cost of airplane depreciation = x ( $ )
Develop an annual cost formula for fuel.
Total annual cost of fuel = $ ×
Develop an annual cost formula for airplane maintenance.
Total annual cost of airplane maintenance = ( x $ ) + ( $ × )
2. Using the three annual cost formulas that you developed, predict the cost of each resource in a year with 484,000 airplane flight hours.
| Total annual cost of airplane depreciation | $ |
| Total annual cost of fuel | $ |
| Total annual cost of airplane maintenance | $ |

The Tanenbaum Company anticipates that in the coming year (a) it will produce 40,000 units of its sole product and require a total of two labor hours per unit; (b) its average labor wage rate will be $12.75 per hour; and (c) it expects to incur indirect production costs of $1,460,000 to produce these 40,000 units. What should it's overhead rate be in the coming year if Tanenbaum used an overhead vehicle of
Number of units?
Direct labor hours?
Direct labor dollars?
Yoshihara Corporation produces two products with the same total prime cost:
|
Product |
Direct Labor |
Direct Material |
|
S |
$146 |
$210 |
|
T |
$200 |
$156 |
If Yoshihara uses units of production as its overhear vehicle, the two products also have the same total manufacturing costs. If the company uses direct material dollars as its overhead vehicle, which product do you think will end up costing more? Why?
