. You read in the newspaper that rocks from Mars have been found on Earth. Your friend says that

the rocks were shot off Mars by the large volcanoes there. You are skeptical so you decide to

calculate the magnitude of the velocity that volcanoes eject rocks from geological evidence. You

know the gravitational acceleration of objects falling near the surface of Mars is only 40% that on

the Earth. You can look up the height of Martian volcanoes and determine the distance rocks from

a volcano hit the ground from pictures of the Martian surface. If you assume the rocks farthest

from a volcano were ejected at an angle of 45 degrees, what is the magnitude of the rock's

velocity as a function of its distance from the volcano and the height of the volcano for the rock

furthest from the volcano?

Operating and Capital Leases - The CEO of Smith & Sons, Inc., was considering a lease for a new administrative headquarters building. The building was old, but was very well located near the company’s principal customers. The leasing agent estimated that the building’s remaining useful life was ten years, and at the end of its useful life, the building would probably be worth $100,000. The proposed lease term was eight years, and as an inducement to Smith & Sons’ CEO to sign the lease, the leasing agent indicated a willingness to include a statement in the lease agreement that would allow Smith & Sons to buy the building at the end of the least for only $75,000. As the CEO considered whether or not to sign the lease, she wondered whether the lease could be accounted for as an off-balance-sheet operating lease. What would you advise her?

Your neighbors have been feeding the birds – a lot – and now they’ve got rats in their yard, happily feasting on the leftover birdseed. You don’t want the rats near your house, and having little regard for the life of vermin, you decide to place a little “deterrent” on your property. Nosing around in a lab, you find arsenic. OK, you are smart enough not to actually use it, but you can’t help but think about it...

If a rat ingests arsenic, the enzyme __________________________ will be inhibited, and the metabolic intermediate ___________________________ will NOT be converted to ___________________________ which is the key entry point to the energy-generating pathway known as the ___________________________. Instead, this metabolic intermediate will be shunted into the metabolic pathway known as ___________________________ which does not require the function of the inhibited enzyme. The glucose- derived end-product of this pathway is ___________________________ and the net energy yield from glucose is ___________________________ NADH and ___________________________ ATP.

Corporate bonds offer a series of fixed payments consisting of interest payments and face value at maturity. As so, managers of financial intermediaries like pension funds and insurance companies frequently utilize such instruments to achieve their financing objectives.

Questions for discussion:

What is assumed the interest payments can be reinvested at?

What is interest rate risk and what would happen to the price of a bond given interest rates increase?

Assume the manager of a $100 million portfolio of corporate bonds predicts interest rates will rise in the near future.

What adjustments should be made to the portfolio assuming the market has not already adjusted for this prediction?

Will a long-term zero coupon bond have more or less interest rate risk than a comparable coupon paying bond?

Today’s price of Delta is $150 per share. You are neither bullish nor bearish about Delta, but you believe that the share price will not move by a lot in the near future. To implement your view, you decide to sell a straddle with one month until maturity. An option dealer provides you quotes on one-month Delta options. For a call option with a strike of $150, the dealer quotes you a price of $4.32. For a put option with a strike of $150, the dealer quotes you a price of $4.32. The c.c. risk-free rate is zero. What is the profit to the short straddle if Delta trades at $200 per share in one month?

Problem Two

Using the information in data set one, which I have included in the table below, recalculate total cost, fixed cost, variable cost, marginal cost, average total cost, average variable cost and average fixed costs if the price of the variable input (which is labor in this example) is not $50 but $55. I have created Table 2 for you to put your answers in. Assume that fixed costs remain at $220.  When the price of a variable input changes which other costs will increase? Compare the costs you calculate for table two to the costs calculated in table one to find your answers.

Question 1

Office Support, Inc. provides on-site repair for most large photocopy machines. It currently has five trained repair teams that it sends out on an on-call basis. Since the company advertises one-day service, it will not accept more than five requests for service per day. Two months ago, the vice president started considering expanding the workforce. At that time he asked the call desk to record the actual calls for each of the next 40 days. The data to respond to the questions below are provided in the Office worksheet. Define the random variable x as the number of service calls per day.   Clearly x is a discrete random variable.

4 points: Use built-in Excel functions to find the minimum and maximum values of x. That is, find the minimum number and maximum number of service calls per day over the 40 day period.   

Place the minimum in cell E2.

Place the maximum in cell E3.

4 points: Based on the minimum and maximum number of service calls per day in the sample of 40 days, specify the complete range of x. That is, make a list of all possible outcomes of x under the column labeled x starting in cell G2.

9 points: Using the built-in Excel function named COUNTIF, calculate the count (frequency) of each outcome (x) in the sample. In general, your function with its arguments will appear as
“=COUNTIF(argument 1, argument 2),” where argument 1 is the data range and argument 2 is a cell reference containing a specific outcome value. Start by finding the count for x = 0, then finding the count for all other outcomes. The values will be under the column labeled “Count.”

In the first unused cell following the last count value (from above), use Excel’s built-in SUM function to calculate the total count (frequency). For example, if the count cells went from H2:H7, enter the sum in cell H8. Format the sum cell (box, color, etc.) to highlight that it contains the sum of the values above it.

  1. [50%] Code Snippet

Given snippet code below that you are required to complete. You are not allowed to make a new function or change any given code. Please complete each section that are marked with the notation “INSERT YOUR CODE HERE”.

Once you complete the snippet below, your output should have the same result with the given output below.

Descriptions:

  1. [15%] isValid()

This function is for checking that there is no duplicated employee data in the linked list. This function will check the name, jobPos, grade and age. It will return to 1 if no duplicated data found at those properties and return to 0 vice versa.

  1. [10%] push()

This function is built for inserting a new data in the linked list. You are required to check whether the inputted is novel data. If the inputted data is not valid, the program will print “ The inputted data is duplicated!”.

Note : please analyze how to push a data by given sequence of inserting in the main function and please compare it to the given output!

  1. [15%] pop()

this function is built for deleting a data. If you are trying to delete a data when the list is empty, then the program will prompt you “the list is empty!”.

Note : please analyze how to pop a data by given sequence of deleting in the main function and please compare it to the given output!

  1. [10%] printAll()

this function is built for printing all the data in the list along with the total employee number. If you are trying to delete a data when the list is empty, then the program will prompt you “the list is empty!”.
