ou are considering two different strategies for a savings account that you intend to close when you retire exactly 29 years from today. For Strategy 1, deposit $1,750 per quarter for 8 years (first deposit today; last one exactly 8 years from today); no new deposits will be made after the end of the deposit period, but interest continues to accrue until the account is closed. For Strategy 2, you’ll make your first quarterly deposit exactly 8 years from today, each quarterly deposit also equals $1,750 , and you’ll continue making quarterly deposits for 21 years, so that you make the final deposit exactly 29 years from today when you close the account. The savings rate always is 9.5% compounded quarterly.

What will strategy 1 accumulate at retirement?

JAVA

(1) Create two files to submit:

  • Payroll.java - Class definition
  • PayrollClient.java - Contains main() method

Build the Payroll class with the following specifications:

  • 4 private fields
    • String name - Initialized in default constructor to "John Doe"
    • int ID - Initialized in default constructor to 9999
    • doulbe payRate - Initialized in default constructor to 15.0
    • doulbe hrWorked - Initialized in default constructor to 40
  • 2 constructors (public)
    • Default constructor
    • A constructor that accepts the employee’s name, ID, and pay rate as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object’s name, ID, and payRate fields.
  • 7 public member methods (mutators, accessors, and other) (8 pts)
    • getName()
    • getID()
    • setPayRate() & getPayRate()
    • setHrWorked() & getHrWorked()
    • A method named grossPay that returns employee’s gross pay (=hrWorked * payRate)

(2) In main(), create two Payroll objects: one use the info inputted by the user, and the other use the default constructor, and print the info for each employee (2 pts)

Ex:

Enter the name, ID, pay rate, and hours worked of an employee:
Linda Smith
1234
20.5
35


Employee Records: 
Name            ID           Pay Rate      Hrs Worked     Gross Pay 
Linda Smith     1234         $20.50/hr     35.0          $717.50
John Doe        9999         $15.00/hr     40.0          $600.00

    Optimal Capital Structure with Hamada

    Beckman Engineering and Associates (BEA) is considering a change in its capital structure. BEA currently has $20 million in debt carrying a rate of 6%, and its stock price is $40 per share with 2 million shares outstanding. BEA is a zero growth firm and pays out all of its earnings as dividends. The firm's EBIT is $13.793 million, and it faces a 40% federal-plus-state tax rate. The market risk premium is 6%, and the risk-free rate is 6%. BEA is considering increasing its debt level to a capital structure with 50% debt, based on market values, and repurchasing shares with the extra money that it borrows. BEA will have to retire the old debt in order to issue new debt, and the rate on the new debt will be 14%. BEA has a beta of 1.1.

    What is the total value of the firm with 50% debt? Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to three decimal places.
    $   million

    1. What is BEA's unlevered beta? Use market value D/S (which is the same as wd/ws) when unlevering. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
    2. What are BEA's new beta and cost of equity if it has 50% debt? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
      Beta:  
      Cost of equity:   %
    3. What are BEA’s WACC and total value of the firm with 50% debt? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Fresh water from rivers and lakes varies in acidity/alkalinity depending on the rocks and soils it runs over. Granite country yields water that is slightly acidic, while water from limestone country is slightly alkaline. Acidity and alkalinity are measured on a pH scale, on which 7 is neutral, values below 7 are acidic and values above 7 are alkaline. pH can change due to pollution or due to waste from biomass such as algae.

A certain river, fed by various tributaries, usually has a pH of about 6.4 (a bit acidic). The data below shows pH values from randomly-selected sites on this river and its tributaries.

(a) Provide a graph of the data distribution. Bear in mind that distribution shape and outliers may be important. [4 marks]

(b) How much evidence is there that the pH of water in this river system has changed?
Evaluate the evidence using a hypothesis test with a significance level of 1%. Take care to state and evaluate all assumptions, and provide an appropriate conclusion. [11 marks]

(c) Provide a 99% confidence interval for the mean pH in this river system. [3 marks]

Population distribution :

Population distribution of Japan is 334.66/km2 on an area of 377,930 km2.

Japan is politically divided into 8 regions and 47 prefectures.

(all primary and secondary regions of high population density lie on the coast; one-third of the population resides in and around Tokyo on the central plain (Kanto Plain))

  • Hokkaido: 66.4 ppl/km2
  • Tōhoku: 130 ppl/km2
  • Kantō: 1300 ppl/km2
  • Chūbu: 300 ppl/km2
  • Kansai: 830 ppl/km2
  • Chūgoku: 240 ppl/km2
  • Shikoku: 220.3 ppl/km2
  • Kyūshū: 332.4 ppl/km2

Population Projections :

Japan population will decrease to 100 million people by 2049 from where it is now at 127 million and will continue to decrease to just above 50 million by 2100.

Japan’s population decline has several social and economic repercussions, such as one-third of the population being elderly by 2036 and a lack of working-age people to help keep the economy growing.

The water diet requires one to drink two cups of water every half hour from when one gets up until one goes to bed, but otherwise allows one to eat whatever one likes. Four adult volunteers agree to test the diet. They are weighed prior to beginning the diet and after six weeks on the diet. The weights ( in pounds) are Person 1 2 3 4 Weight before diet 180 125 240 150 Weight after diet 170 130 215 152 For the population of all adults, assume that the weights loss after six weeks on the diet ( weight before beginning the diet---weight after six weeks on the diet) is Normally distributed with mean μ.

a. Test the hypothesis if the diet leads to weight loss
