Components of a certain type are shipped to a supplier in batches of ten. Suppose that 50% of all such batches contain no defective components, 32% contain one defective component, and 18% contain two defective components. Two components from a batch are randomly selected and tested. What are the probabilities associated with 0, 1, and 2 defective components being in the batch under each of the following conditions? (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) Neither tested component is defective.

(b) One of the two tested components is defective. [Hint: Draw a tree diagram with three first-generation branches for the three different types of batches.]

Great Plains Distributors, Inc. sells roofing and siding products to home improvement retailers, such as Lowe’s and Home Depot, and commercial contractors. The owner is interested in studying the effects of several variables on the sales volume of fiber-cement siding products.

The company has 26 marketing districts across the United States. In each district, it collected information on the following variables: sales volume (in thousands of dollars), advertising dollars (in thousands), number of active accounts, number of competing brands, and a rating of market potential.

Conduct a multiple regression analysis to find the best predictors of sales.

1. Determine the regression equation by omitting the potential variable. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the constant value to the nearest whole number and rest of the values to 2 decimal values.)

Sales = ____ + ____ advertising + _______ accounts + ________ competitors

2. Complete the following table. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

3. Determine the regression equation by omitting the advertising variable. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your constant value to the nearest whole number and the rest of the values to 2 decimal places.)

Sales = ______ + ______ accounts + _______ competitors

4. Complete the following table. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your Coef, SE Coef and t-values to 2 decimal places.)

5. Compute the variance inflation factor for the independent variables.

Ms. Taylor is 21 years old and she just obtained her MBA degree. She is considering the following two career options:

(a)Start working now, earning an annual salary of $60,000 in each of next 44 years.

(b)Enroll in a PhD program, in 4 years and subsequent work for 40 years, earning each year the salary of $120,000.

Assume that her educational expenses at the end of each of 4 years will be $30,000. Also, assume that the relevant annual interest rate is 6% throughout, and all the annuities in the question are ordinary annuities. Based on the above information, find the implied or imputed monetary value of her PhD as of now.

(A) A stock price is currently AUD 40 and it is known that at the end of three months it will be either AUD 44 or AUD 36. We are interested in valuing a European call option.

(ii) If the delta of the above European call is 0.25, what is the delta of the European put for the same strike and maturity?

(i) Using the risk-free rate of 12% per annum; Apply stock-option replicating portfolio strategy to value this European call option when the strike is AUD 42.

(B) A stock price is currently AUD 60; the risk-free rate is 5% and the volatility σ is 30%. What is the value of a two-year American put option with a strike price of AUD 62?

PLEASE ANSWER ALL OF THEM.

X Company is considering replacing one of its machines in order to save operating costs. Operating costs with the current machine are $64,000 per year; operating costs with the new machine are expected to be $35,385 per year. The new machine will cost $156,000 and will last for four years, at which time it can be sold for $1,000. The current machine will also last for four more years but will not be worth anything at that time. It cost $41,000 four years ago, but its current disposal value is only $6,000.

9. Assuming a discount rate of 7%, what is the incremental net present value of replacing the current machine?

10. Assume the following two changes: 1) both machines will last for six more years, 2) the salvage value of the new machine after six years will be zero. If X Company replaces the current equipment, what is the approximate internal rate of return?

The following bonds and liabilities are given: • Bond A: A zero-coupon bond with a face value of $100 and a time to maturity of 3 years. • Bond B: A zero-coupon bond with a face value of $100 and a time to maturity of 11 years. • Liability X: A one-time liability maturing in 4 years with the present value of $100. • Liability Y: A one-time liability maturing in 8 years with the present value of $100. Suppose you have both liabilities X and Y and want to immunize your liabilities using bonds A and B. What would be the weights of two bonds in your immunizing bond portfolio? Please round your calculation to the nearest 2nd decimal.

Select one: A. 62% in Bond A and 38% in bond B

B. 38% in Bond A and 62% in bond B

C. 50% in Bond A and 50% in bond B

D. 66% in Bond A and 34% in bond B

E. 34% in Bond A and 66% in bond B
