Question 2 A 4-year zero coupon bond has a face value of $100 and a price of $82.270. The table below contains prices, coupons and the time to maturity for 3 annual coupon paying bonds that have a face value of $100. Please use annual compounding and annual discounting in your calculations and 3 decimal places in your workings. Time to Maturity (Years) Annual Coupon Price 1 3.0% $98.095 2 6.5% $102.790 3 5.8% $102.179 a) What is the price of a 3-year bond paying annual coupons of 5% and a face value of $100? b) If you had $1 million invested in the 3-year 5% coupon bond, how many of the 4-year zerocoupon bonds would you need to short-sell to hedge your interest rate risk? c) Without doing any calculations, discuss what actions you would need to take with your short position in the zero coupon to ensure your interest rate risk remained hedged until the maturity of the 3-year coupon paying bond.

Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) has an elastic modulus of 400 GPa and a KIc of 4 MPa•m1/2 . A specimen is tested in tension and is found to deform elastically up to the point of fracture at a stress of 450 MPa. (a) Make a diagram of engineering stress-engineering strain to show this behavior. (b) Find the strain at fracture. (b) Estimate the flaw size (a) that caused failure (assume Y = 1). (c) If another specimen of the same size is prepared and tested, do you expect failure to be at a stress of 450 MPa again? Why or why not?

Red-green color blindness is a sex-linked recessive traits in humans. Two people with normal color vision have a color blind son. What are the genotypes of the parents?

In mice, apricot eyes is recessive to black eyes. Tail length is governed by another gene, linked to the eye color gene. Long tails is dominant to short tails. To determine the distance between the two genes, a double heterozygote is mated in a testcross and the classes of progeny produced were as follows:

Apricot eyes, Long tails 33

Apricot eyes, Short tails             20

Black eyes, Long tails                17

Black eyes, Short tails                30

Determine the map distance between the two genes

2. During 2017, Tom sold Sears stock for $10,000. The stock was purchased 4 years ago for $13,000. Tom also sold Ford Motor Company bonds for $35,000. The bonds were purchased 2 months ago for $30,000. Home Depot stock, purchased 2 years ago for $1,000, was sold by Tom for $2,500. Calculate Tom’s net gain or loss, and indicate the nature of the gain or loss. $__________

2. Unit 4 looked at decision making, and discussed the situational aspect. Please describe two situations; the first, a situation where you believe a very directive style would be appropriate and the second, one where you think a very collaborative style would better serve the situation. In both instances, describe the situation and your reasoning.

3. In Unit 14, we looked at small business. Would you prefer managing in a huge enterprise or a small one? What factors entered into your decision?

Q2. Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 8 white, 4 black, and 2 orange balls. Suppose that we win $2 for each black ball selected and we lose $1 for each white ball selected. Let X denote our winnings. What are the possible values of X, and what are the probabilities associated with each value i.e. create a discrete probability distribution table for winning amount. Compute the expected value of winnings and standard deviation of winnings. You can setup an Excel spreadsheet to perform the calculations. Upload your Excel file on BB using the link Homework> HW3.
