Answer the questions for the bond below, which pays interests semi-annually. The modified duration is 3.9944 years and convexity measure is 19.7636 years. (Assume par value is $1000). Coupon rate: 9%, current yield to maturity: 8%, maturity: 5 years. (1) Calculate the price value of a basis point if the new yield to maturity becomes 8.01% (2) Calculate the actual price of the bond for a 50-basis-point increase in interest rates (yield changes from 8% to 8.5%) (3) Using duration, estimate the approximate price of the bond for a 50-basis point increase in interest rates (yield changes from 8% to 8.5%) (4) Using both duration and convexity measure, estimate the approximate price of the bond for a 50-basis-point increase in interest rates (yield changes from 8% to 8.5%) (5) Compare your results in (3) and (4) and explain which is closer to the actual price in (2)

SLO2- Understand how factors in the social structure, such as the economy, public policy, religion, and education influence patterns and changes in marriage, families, and relationships.

For this question students will choose and discuss TWO factors in the social structure and their influence. The basics for this are touched upon in chapter one but every chapter from CH3 – CH14 discusses various factors in the social structure and the influence they have so students will need to choose, be specific, and focus on the detail for one example of influence/change per factor.

Choose a factor in the social structure, define it in your own words, then explain using an example, a specific way that this factor has influenced patterns and/or changes in either marriage, families, or relationships. Detail and terminology are expected.

Choose a different factor in the social structure, define it in your own words, then explain using an example, a specific way that this factor has influenced patterns and/or changes in either marriage, families, or relationships. Detail and terminology are expected.

The living standards data compiled by the late Angus Maddison reveal a pattern in which the material living standards of Western Europe were essentially “flat” from the year 1 CE to 1500 CE, and only start increasing dramatically post-1600 CE. The thesis has been advanced that this rise in Western European material living standards correlates wit the birth and development of Economic Thought/Theory, whereby men explicitly attempted to rationalize the laws governing economic phenomena. Prior to 1700 CE, most of life in Western Europe was organized around the dogma and kerygma of the Catholic Church, the influence of which was increasingly diminishing post-1500 CE. Consider the Biblical passages below from the Holy Bible: • Leviticus 25:37. “You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.

• Luke 12:15. “And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”’

• Timothy 6:10. “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”’.

• Philippians 4:19. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”

One of the most popular types of online advertising involves buying an ad-link on search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing. Advertisers can narrowly target potential customers by buying an ad that will be placed next to the search results for a specific term. For instance, if you used Yahoo search engine and typed in “spaghetti,” you would get 13 million results, ranging from spaghetti recipes, to encyclopedia references, to a link for the “Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.” In the right column are “sponsored results”—ads for spaghetti cookbooks, pasta making equipment, and several distributors of spaghetti sauce. Each search engine’s advertising system is unique, but you can get a basic understanding of the process by investigating Google’s system called “AdWords.” Go to the AdWords website and then answer the following questions. Explain how the price of an ad on Google is calculated. When purchasing search term advertising, a critical decision is identifying as many possible key terms to describe your product as possible. Suppose you were an online organic food store and you wanted to advertise .your vegetarian spaghetti sauce on Google. What specific keywords would you want to include? (Hint: Use the “keyword tool.”) List the best prospects. Assume your daily advertising budget is $50. What would be the best combination of key terms and cost per click to reach your target audience
