2. Communicate how you arrived at the probability of each outcome.

3. What is the expected value, E(X), for the game? You may include this in your table from the distribution. If the game costs 10 points to play, how much would the player expect to win or lose?

The city of Metropolis is considering replacing incandescent bulbs in traffic lights with light-emitting diode (LED) lights because they use significantly less energy and last much longer without abrupt failure. Currently Metropolis has 80,000 incandescent bulbs in traffic lights at approximately 12,000 intersections. It is estimated that replacing all the incandescent bulbs with LED will cost $46.02 million. However, the investment is also estimated to save the city $8.85 million per year in energy costs. Answer the following questions on a Word Doc or Excel Spreadsheet :

1- Determine the payback period of converting Metropolis’s traffic lights to LEDs.

2- If the average life of an incandescent traffic light is one year and the average life of an LED traffic light is seven years, should the city finance the investment in LED’s at an interest rate of 5% per year? Support your answer by showing calculations or copying and pasting your spreadsheet.  

3- Assume the project manager for the city of Metropolis asked you to provide justific2- ation for the project. Write a brief email to the project manager describing why or why not Metropolis should invest in LED lights using the support figures you calculated for #2.

You have been recently hired in the human resources department at the company you have always dreamed of working for. At the end of your first day, your manager, I.M. DeBoss, on her way out of the office says to you: “So Mr./Ms. Jones, what things come to mind when you think of the word 'ethics'?" Before you can answer, she asks you if you believe ethics are important for a company and if so why do you feel that way? Not letting up, because she is DeBoss, she then asks you if you think your views on ethics have evolved based on your life experiences or do you believe as suggested in the 60 Minutes piece, “Born good? Babies help unlock the origins of Morality,” that your ethics DNA was established at birth and why?

Just as you are about to respond to her, she says “I am sorry Mr./Ms. Jones but I really have to run but I want to continue our conversation tomorrow.” You are relieved because you will have a night to ponder her questions and wow her with your responses tomorrow. How would you respond to your manager?

A proposed corporate bond issue is usually subjected to a credit risk assessment by
credit rating agencies. The results of such an assessment provide a basis for potential
investors to make decisions regarding the proposal.
Some investors consider duration to be a useful factor when deciding whether to invest
in corporate bonds. However, other investors do not consider duration to be that useful
and as such, they rely solely on the work of credit rating agencies. Such investors
consider the information provided by credit rating agencies to be more useful than
duration when choosing the bonds to invest in.
Required:
Prepare a 2,500 word evaluative report that covers the following:
(a) A discussion of the factors that contribute to credit risk and an explanation of the
relationship between credit risk and interest rate risk. [15 Marks]
(b) Identification and explanation of any two (2) approaches that may be used to assess
the degree of credit risk of a proposed bond issue. [10 Marks]
(c) A critical discussion of the usefulness of duration as a measure of interest rate risk
relating to corporate bonds. [15 Marks]
(d) An evaluation whether there is a relationship between using duration and credit
ratings when choosing bonds that an investor should invest in. [10 Marks]
[TOTAL: 50 MARKS]

Deep River College is a two-year school in Southern California. Twice a year, the fundraising office at Deep River mails requests for donations to the alumni. The staff uses a word processing program and a personal information database to create personalized letters. Data on past contributions and other alumni information, however, is stored manually. The dean, Alexandra Ali, recently submitted a systems request asking the college’s IT department to develop a computerized alumni information system. The school does not have a formal systems review committee, and each department has an individual budget for information services. Eddie Bateman, a systems analyst, performed a preliminary investigation and he concluded that the system met all the feasibility tests. After reading his report, Alexandra asked him to proceed with the systems analysis phase.

(1) Design a questionnaire to learn how the current process works and what the information requirements for the new information system would be. Your questionnaire should include the three types of questions discussed in the textbook.

It should contain:

six closed-ended questions, five opinion questions, and one question requesting an explanation of a procedure or problem.

[Hint: use the one question to explain the procedure, and close-ended questions to learn the information requirements]

Listed below are several terms and phrases associated with property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. Pair each item from List A with the item from List B (by letter) that is most appropriately associated with it.

College has not been easy for you, but you made it through this far and should be proud of yourself. Over the course of your college education, you more than likely faced several life factors that played a role in the grades you received. In other words, what activities did you spend a lot of time doing away from class and studying, like working, family, video games, partying, etc.

In a one (1) page, double-spaced Word document, with margins set at 1" all around, discuss some of those activities and in particular, choose one that you spent more time doing than any other. Now, consider the time, in hours per week, spent enjoying your most favorite activity and compare it to the time, in hours per week, you spent studying for this course. Finally, look at your current grade for this course. Describe the correlation between your favorite activity and your grade for this course? If you were to graph it, what would it look like? What could you do to change it without jeopardizing fun activities? Finally, do you believe there is a correlation between a high GPA and a good paying job? Why or why not?

Lafayette Public School System has three high schools to serve a district divided into five areas. The capacity of each high school, the student population in each area, and the distance (in miles) between each school and the center of each area are listed in the table below:

(Part a - 8 points) Formulate and list the linear program for the above problem to minimize the total student-miles traveled per day. You do NOT need to solve your listed linear program.  

(Part b - 2 points) If Capedot High School will be closed to conserve the school system’s resources and its budget, how will you efficiently revise your linear program to cope with this school closing?

Please use Word or something to write your answer and show work. Thank you very much! :D

On April 22, 2019, CBO published a cost estimate for House Bill 582, Raise the Wage Act. You can obtain a copy of the report here. Read the report and answer the following questions.

(1) In your own word, why does raising the federal minimum wage DIRECTLY affect the federal budget?

(2) Would the proposed policy have an impact on mandatory spending, and why? If yes, by how much does it change the projected federal deficit associated with mandatory spending over the 2020-2029 period?

(3) Would the proposed policy have an impact on discretionary spending, and why? If yes, by how much does it change the projected federal deficit associated with discretionary spending over the 2020-2029 period?

(4) Why would the proposed policy impose “intergovernmental and private-sector mandates”? What are the estimated annual costs of the policy to subnational governments and private-sector organizations respectively? As the report states, spending for the Postal Service is classified as off-budget. The distinction between on-budget and off-budget programs is rather superficial. In your answer, please consider the overall federal budget including both on-budget and off-budget components.
