% and current and average of past 15 years risk free rate is 7.96
%, and using a market risk premium of 8.39% (16.35 -7.96) for the
15 year period, estimate:
a. Sharpe ratios of all 3 funds and S&P 500. Which fund has the
highest risk adjusted performance according to Sharpe measure?
Which of the above funds have beaten the market?
b. Treynor of all 3 funds and S&P 500. Which fund has the
highest risk adjusted performance according to Treynor measure?
Which of the above funds have beaten the market?

a) Imagine you want to conduct a conventional parametric test of
H0: μ1 = μ2 versus H1: μ1 not equal to μ2. What test
would you use, what assumption(s) is(are) required for the test you
will use, show how you examine the
assumption(s), and clearly state your conclusions from your
examination of the assumption(s).
b) Test H0: μ1 = μ2, and clearly state your conclusion.
c) If the true difference in the mean values is 2.0, what is the
power of the test given that α = 0.05?
d) If the true difference in the mean values is 1.0 and α = 0.05,
what sample size is required to detect a
difference in means of 1.0 if the power of the test must be at
least 0.9?
e) Repeat the test of H0: μ1 = μ2 using a nonparametric test and
state your conclusion.

A 9-month short position of a forward contract on a stock is entered into today, when the stock price is $60. The stock has expected dividends of $1.0 in 2 months, $2.0 in 5 months, and $2.0 in 7 months respectively. The risk-free interest rate is 3.0% per annum with continuous compounding.
(a) What is the forward price today?
(b) What is the initial value of the forward contract today?
(c) 3 months later, the price of the stock decreases to $55 and the risk-free interest rate remains the same. What are the forward price and the value of the forward position then?

Consider two local banks. Bank A has 95 loans outstanding, each for $1.0 million, that it expects will be repaid today. Each loan has a 6% probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $95 million outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 6% probability of not being repaid.
Calculate the following:
a. The expected overall payoff of each bank.
b. The standard deviation of the overall payoff of each bank.
a. The expected overall payoff of each bank.
The expected overall payoff of Bank A is ________million. (Round to the nearest integer.)
The expected overall payoff of Bank B is ________million. (Round to the nearest integer.)
b. The standard deviation of the overall payoff of each bank.
The standard deviation of the overall payoff of Bank A is _____ (Round to two decimal places.)
The standard deviation of the overall payoff of Bank B is ______ (Round to two decimal places.)

Suppose we can adjust a Q11B.11 Suppose we can adjust a semiconductor's band gap from 1.0 eV to 2.0 eV by changing a certain impurity's concentration. (a) Other things being equal, does the semi- conductor become more conductive or less conductive as we do this? (b) By about what factor at room temperature where kBT、0.026 eV)? Explain your reasoning. (Hint: (where k T 0.026 eV)? Explain your reasoning. (Hint: How much more or less likely is it for an energy level in the conduction band to be occupied by an electron?)

Commercial wind turbines consists of three 6400-kg blades, each 35.0 m long. It generates 1.0 MW of electrical power when it rotates with very little friction at a constant speed in the usually steady wind. However, when the wind suddenly stops,the turbine spins to a stop in 100 s. From this information, estimate the following for the situation when the wind is blowing steadily:
(a) the rotational kinetic energy of the turbine,
(b) its rotational speed, and
(c) the magnitude of its angular momentum.

At year-end 2016, Wallace Landscaping’s total assets were $1.0 million, and its accounts payable were $375,000. Sales, which in 2016 were $2.3 million, are expected to increase by 30% in 2017. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $390,000 in 2016, and retained earnings were $210,000. Wallace has arranged to sell $85,000 of new common stock in 2017 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2017. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 5%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.
