T/F

If you formed a portfolio that consisted of all stocks with betas less than 1.0, the portfolio would have a beta coefficient that is equal to the weighted average beta of the stocks in the portfolio.

The beta of an "average stock," or "the market," does not change over time.

The slope of the SML is determined by the value of beta.

The CAPM is built on historic conditions, although in most cases we use expected future data in applying it.

"Risk aversion" implies that investors require higher expected returns on riskier than on less risky securities.

If you plotted the returns of a company against those of the market and found that the slope of your line was negative, the CAPM would indicate that the required rate of return on the stock should be less than the risk-free rate for a well-diversified investor, assuming that the observed relationship is expected to continue in the future.

A firm can have a positive beta, even if the correlation between its returns and those of another firm is negative.

One stock has a beta of 1.2 and another has a beta of -0.6. The returns on the stock with the negative beta must have been negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks

A stock with a beta equal to -1.0 has zero systematic (or market) risk.

Consider two local banks. Bank A has 100 loans​ outstanding, each for​ $1.0 million, that it expects will be repaid today. Each loan has a 4 % probability of​ default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $ 100 million​ outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 4 % probability of not being repaid. Calculate the​ following: a. The expected overall payoff of each bank. b. The standard deviation of the overall payoff of each bank.

Exp19_Access_Ch02_Capstone - International Foodies 1.0

Project Description:

International Foodies is an importer of exotic foods from all over the world. You landed a summer internship with the company and discovered that their product lists and the suppliers they buy from are stored in Excel workbooks. You offer to help by using your newly gained knowledge of Access to create a relational database for them. You will begin by importing the workbooks from Excel into a new Access database. Your manager mentions that she would also like a table that specifies food categories so that you can relate the products you sell to specific categories in the database. You will create a table from scratch to track categories, create relationships between the tables, and create some baseline queries.

Steps to Perform:

Step

Instructions

Points Possible

1

Start Access. Open the downloaded Access file named Exp19_Access_Ch2_Cap_Foodies. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. Save the file to the location where you are storing your files.

0

2

You will examine the data in the downloaded Excel worksheets to determine which fields will become the primary keys in each table and which fields will become the foreign keys so that you can join them in the database.

Open the Suppliers.xlsx Excel workbook, examine the data, and close the workbook. Open the Products.xlsx Excel workbook, examine the data, and close the workbook.

You will import two Excel workbooks that contain supplier and product information into the database.

Click the External Data tab, click New Data Source, point to From File in the Import & Link group, and then select Excel. Navigate to and select the Suppliers.xlsx workbook to be imported as a new table in the current database. Select First Row Contains Column Headings. Set the SupplierID field Indexed option to Yes (No Duplicates). Select SupplierID as the primary key when prompted and accept the table name Suppliers. Do not save the import steps.

10

3

Import the Products.xlsx workbook, set the ProductID Indexed option to Yes (No Duplicates), and select ProductID as the primary key. Accept the table name Products.

10

4

Change the Field Size of the QuantityPerUnit field to 25 in Design view of the Products table. Set the Field Size of ProductID and CategoryID to Long Integer. Save the changes and open the table in Datasheet view. Open the Suppliers table in Datasheet view to examine the data. Close the tables.

4

5

You will create a new table that will enable International Foodies to associate each product with a food category in the database.

Create a new table in Design view. Add the following fields in Design view and set the properties as specified:

Add the primary key field as CategoryID with the Number Data Type and Number assigned to a new category. (type the period) as the Description. Set the Caption property to Category ID.

Save the table as Categories.

6

6


Add CategoryName with the Short Text Data Type and Name of food category. (type the period) as the Description. Change the field size to 15. Set the Caption property to Category Name and the Required property to Yes.

6

7

Add CategoryDescription with the Long Text Data Type. Set the Caption property to Category Description. Switch to Datasheet view and save the table when prompted. You will enter Category data into the table in the next step.

4

8


You will add 8 records to the Categories table so that you have some sample data to test in the database.

Add the following records to the Categories table:

Category ID   Category Name        Category Description                 

1                  BEVERAGES             SOFT DRINKS, COFFEES, TEAS                  

2                  CONDIMENTS          SAUCES, RELISHES, SEASONINGS

3                  CONFECTIONS         DESSERTS, CANDIES, SWEET BREADS

4                  DAIRY PRODUCTS   CHEESES

5                  GRAINS/CEREALS   BREADS, PASTA, CEREAL

6                  MEAT/POULTRY      PREPARED MEATS

7                  PRODUCE                 DRIED FRUIT, BEAN CURD

8                  SEAFOOD                 SEAWEED AND FISH

Close the table.

6

9

You will create the relationships between the tables using the Relationships window.

Add all three tables to the Relationships window. Identify the primary key fields in the Categories table and the Suppliers table and join them with their foreign key counterparts in the related Products table. Select the Enforce Referential Integrity and Cascade Update Related Fields check boxes. Save and close the Relationships window.

12

10

You will use the Simple Query Wizard to create a query of all products that you import in the seafood category.

Add the ProductName, SupplierID, and CategoryID fields from Products (in that order). Save the query as Seafood Products.

10

11

Add a criterion in Design view, to include only products with 8 as the CategoryID.

2

12

Sort the query results in ascending order by ProductName. Run, save, and close the query.

2

13

You want to create a query that displays actual category names rather than the CategoryIDs. You are interested to know which meat and poultry products are imported. You will copy the Seafood Products query and modify it to delete a field, then add an additional table and field.

Copy the Seafood Products query and paste it using Seafood Or Meat/Poultry as the query name.

2

14

Open the Seafood Or Meat/Poultry query in Design view and delete the CategoryIDcolumn.

2

15

Add the Categories table to the top pane of the query design window. Add the CategoryName field to the last column of the design grid and set the criterion as "Seafood" Or "Meat/Poultry". Run, save, and close the query.

A suspension of 4-aminophenol (1.0 equivalent) in water (1 mL of water for every 2.7 mmol of 4- aminophenol) is heated at 65 °C to 75 °C for 5 minutes with stirring. Acetic anhydride (1.5 equivalents) is added, and the reaction is stirred for 10 minutes at 65 °C to 75 °C, and then an additional 10 minutes at room temperature. At this point, the crude target product begins to slowly precipitate from the solution. You can assume that your limiting reagent has been completely consumed.

Your target mass of acetaminophen is 2.00 g. Based on your target mass, answer the questions below. Enter all quantities accurate to three significant figures. For liquid reagents, enter a volume in millilitres. For solid reagents, enter a mass in grams.

Air at 90.0°C and 1.0 atm (absolute) contains 7.0 mole% water. A continuous stream of this air enters a compressor–condenser, in which the temperature is lowered to 18.6°C and the pressure is raised to 2.90 atm. The air leaving the condenser is then heated isobarically to 90.0°C. Calculate the fraction of water that is condensed from the air, the relative humidity of the outlet air at 90.0°C, and the ratio (m3 outlet air at 90.0°C)/(m3 feed air) at 90.0°C.
