Jeremy earned $100,000 in salary and $6,000 in interest income during the year. Jeremy’s employer withheld $11,000 of federal income taxes from Jeremy’s paychecks during the year. Jeremy has one qualifying dependent child who lives with him. Jeremey qualifies to file as head of household. Assume the original facts except that Jeremy had only $7,000 in itemized deductions. ( use 2019 )

1. (1.3) Determine Jeremy’s tax refund or taxes due. You must show work.

2. (0.3) Copy and paste the applicable table showing tax rates used.

3. Comment (optional)

Using a dividend discount model, what is the price for this stock? Stock covariance with the market= 0.5 Market variance = 0.25 Stock covariance with a second risk factor= 0.6 Variance of the second factor= 0.3 Market Premium:3% Second factor risk premium=1% Risk free rate =2 % Current earnings per share= $5, The ROE is expected to shrink (decrease) at the rate 10% for first 5 years The ROE is expected to grow at the rate 8% forever after the first 5 years Payout for the first 5 years: 50% Payout after 5 years: 50%

.You are interested in determining whether there is a statistically significant difference between
economics and political science majors in terms of their overall grade point average (GPA). You
randomly sample 10 economics majors and 16 political science majors. You find that the average
economist has a 3.0 GPA with a standard deviation of 0.4, and the average political scientist has
a 3.4 GPA with a standard deviation of 0.3. Conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test using
significance level α = 0.05. Clearly state the hypotheses, the test statistic, the p-value, and your
conclusion (in complete, plain language sentences).

An investor is considering the following two investment opportunities. The returns for each, under different economic conditions are forecast as above.

a.    Calculate the expected returns and standard deviation of returns for A and B.

b.    Assume that a portfolio is equally weighted between Investment A and Investment B. What would be the expected return and standard deviation on the portfolio?

c.    Which investment, A, B, or the equally weighted portfolio would you recommend and why?

Calculate the contribution to total performance from currency, country, and stock selection for the manager in the example below. All exchange rates are expressed as units of foreign currency that can be purchased with 1 U.S. dollar. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Input all amounts as positive values.)

EAFE Weight / Return on Equity Index/ E1/E0 / Manager's Weight / Manager's Return

Europe 0.1 12%. 0.8. 0.25 17 %

Australasia 0.3 18%    1 0.22 14 %

Far East 0.6 17%    1.2 0.53 14%

Using these four feature vectors in the order listed (See Below, the first vector is [0, 1, 0, 1]) with a Bias of constant one and assume the random initial weights are [0.1, -0.6, 0.3, -0.7], calculate the next four iterations, calculate the next four weights using the perceptron learning algorithm. Assume the learning rate, alpha is equal to 0.2

Question
(a) Consider a random sample of the following data: 254, 261, 250, 258, 253, 257.
Calculate the unbiased estimator of the population variance.

(b) Suppose the GPA of all students enrolled in a particular course can be modelled by a
certain distribution with a mean of 3.4 and variance 0.3. Compute the probability that the
mean GPA of a random sample of 40 students selected from this course will be:

(i) lower than 3.2
(ii) between 3.3 and 3.6

(c) Suppose you throw a die 600 times. Apply a suitable technique to compute the
approximate probability of obtaining between 90 and 110 fours.

Hello:

I am working on some homework problems for decision modeling. Here is the question: The weekly deman for a slow moving product has the following probability mass function:

Demand, x Probability f(x)

0 0.2

1 0.4

2 0.3

3 0.1

4 or more 0

Use VLOOKUP to generate 25 random variates from this distribution. I know i have to use RAND and VLOOKUP I just cannot get it to give me 25 random numbers. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Caro Manufacturing has two production departments, Machining and Assembly, and two service departments, Maintenance and Cafeteria. Direct costs for each department and the proportion of service costs used by the various departments for the month of August follow:

Required:

Use the step method to allocate the service costs, using the following:

a. The order of allocation starts with Maintenance.

b. The allocations are made in the reverse order (starting with Cafeteria).

Q1. A portfolio is invested 39% in Stock A, 24% in Stock B, and the remainder in Stock C. The returns for Stock A, B, and C are 11.7%, 39.2%, and 14.3% respectively. What is the portfolio's return?

Q2.

Calculate the portfolio beta based on the following information:

Q3. The risk-free rate is 2.1%, the market risk premium = ( E(Rm) - Rf) is 6.2%, and the stock’s beta is 1.1. What is the required rate of return on the stock, E(Ri)?
Use the CAPM equation.
