Use the following Information to Answer Problems 1 and 2

Bradford Services Inc. (BSI) is considering a project that has a cost of $10 million and an expected life of 3 years. There is a 30 percent probability of good conditions, in which case the project will provide a cash flow of $9 million at the end of each year for 3 years. There is a 40 percent probability of medium conditions, in which case the annual cash flows will be $4 million, and there is a 30 percent probability of bad conditions and a cash flow of -$1 million per year. BSI uses a 12 percent cost of capital to evaluate projects like this.

Two point particles separated by 0.7 m carry a total charge of 150 µC.

(a) If the two particles repel each other with a force of 80 N, what are the charges on each of the two particles?

q1 = _____ µC (smaller charge)

q2 = _____ µC (larger charge)

(b) If the two particles attract each other with a force of 80 N, what are the charges on the two particles?

q1 = _____ µC (smaller charge)

q2 = _____ µC (larger charge)

Stock X has a 9.0% expected return, a beta coefficient of 0.7, and a 35% standard deviation of expected returns. Stock Y has a 13.0% expected return, a beta coefficient of 1.3, and a 30% standard deviation. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 5%.

  1. Calculate each stock's coefficient of variation. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

    CVy =

  2. Which stock is riskier for a diversified investor?
    1. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by beta. Therefore, the stock with the higher beta is less risky. Stock Y has the higher beta so it is less risky than Stock X.
    2. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by beta. Therefore, the stock with the higher beta is riskier. Stock Y has the higher beta so it is riskier than Stock X.
    3. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by standard deviation of expected returns. Therefore, the stock with the higher standard deviation of expected returns is riskier. Stock X has the higher standard deviation so it is riskier than Stock Y.
    4. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by beta. Therefore, the stock with the lower beta is riskier. Stock X has the lower beta so it is riskier than Stock Y.
    5. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by standard deviation of expected returns. Therefore, the stock with the lower standard deviation of expected returns is riskier. Stock Y has the lower standard deviation so it is riskier than Stock X.

An F/A-18F Super Hornet weighing 22,000 kg is flying at Mach 0.7 at an altitude of 3.5 km. The plane has a length of 18.3 m, a wingspan of 13.6 m and a height of 4.9 m. Assume that the shape of the aircraft can be approximated by a flat rectangular plate.

(a) Calculate the thrust force required to maintain level flight and constant speed.

(b) If the pilot suddenly changes pitch to fly straight up, determine whether he will black-out

(experience more than 9g deceleration) due to the manoeuvre.

(c) Estimate whether the plane would have stopped moving in a horizontal direction before an observer at sea-level heard the manoeuvre. (For a bonus of up to 100 marks, mathematically derive the formula for the final velocity in the horizontal direction and calculate the value at the instant the observer at sea level hears the manoeuvre.)
