The following six (4) questions are based on the following data:

When performing calculations in the following problems, use the numbers in the table as-is. I.e., do NOT convert 8.5985 to 8.5985% (or 0.085985). Just use plain 8.5985.

1. Using the basic market model regression, R p = α + β R m + ϵ, what is the beta of this portfolio? Yes, this is an opportunity to practice regression analysis. You can use Excel or other tool of choice.

2. For precision, find the portfolio beta using the excess return market model:

R p − R f = α + β ∗ ( R m − R f ) + ϵ

[Hint: compute annual excess returns first, then run regression.]

3. Using the excess return beta β ∗ from the previous problem, what is Jensen's alpha for the portfolio?

[Hint: use Equation (17.6) from Moore (2015)]

4. What is the portfolio's M2 measure?

A 2000-gram male infant was delivered at 34 weeks’ gestational age by cesarean section due to breech presentation, premature labor, and rupture of membranes. On physical examination the infant was non-dysmorphic, appeared vigorous, had spontaneous respirations, and the skin was pink and well perfused. Apgar scores were 7 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. One hour after admission to the neo- natal intensive care unit, the infant developed tachypnea and nasal flaring with moderate subcostal and substernal retractions. Bronchial breath sounds that were slightly diminished in intensity were present. Analysis of umbilical arterial blood revealed a pH of 7.37, a PaO2 of 50 mm Hg, and a PaCO2 of 30 mm Hg. To improve work of breathing, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of + 6 cm H2O was initiated via nasal prongs. One hour later the infant’s vital signs were as follows: temperature 37.6°C under radiant heat, blood pressure 60/42 mm Hg, heart rate 130 beats per minute, oxygen saturation 94% to 96% while breathing 40% oxygen with CPAP, and blood glucose 70 mg/dL. The remainder of the examination was normal for the gestational age. The infant’s respiratory status gradually improved, and over the next 3 days he was weaned from CPAP and transitioned to a nasal cannula and then to room air. Two days later, the infant was discharged home. 1. What are important components of the initial neonatal assessment? 2. What was concerning about this patient’s respiratory status, and what should the healthcare team continue to monitor? 3. What intervention would you consider if the CPAP + 6 did not improve the infant’s work of breathing?

1. What intervention would you consider if the CPAP + 6 did not improve the infant’s work of breathing?

A 2000 v signle phase synchorunus generator isbeing used as a backup generator outside a diagnostic center in Islamabad . when the generator terminals are short circuited and a field exication current if 2.5 A is passed, the ammeter between the terminals read 100 A of full load current . if this terminals of the same generator are opened and the voltage across them is measured using a voltmeter , we get the value of 500V with the same exciatation cureent . the armature resistance is 0.8 ohms.

Determine the voltage regulation of this generator if it is delivering 100 A during normal operating with unity power factor , 100A with 0.8 leading PF and with 0.71 lagging PF

Back on December 23, 2000, Jasmine Crusher purchased a home in Pahoa, Hawaii for $1,500,000 which included the land and the home. Her property tax bill for 2001 showed assessed value of the land of $300,000 and of the building for $1,200,000. She used the home as her personal residence until October 15, 2010 when her employer transferred her to San Francisco. Jasmine put the house on the market for a sale price of $1,900,000 but was receiving no offers. In February 2011, she found out that a house down the road had just sold for $1,250,000. So, she decided to rent it and use it for occasional vacations for herself. Jasmine hired a management company to find the renters. Since the house is in Hawaii, the management firm never had a problem having the house rented for most of the year. Because Jasmine used a 15 year loan, the loan was completely paid off in December 2015. Jasmine turned over all bill paying responsibilities to the management company starting in 2014. Below are the details Jasmine received from the management company for 2014 and 2015. However, in 2016, she decided that the management company was charging her too much for the small amount of work they seemed to be doing, so she fired them on June 1 and took over all of the work of renting the house and paying the bills. On December 2, 2016, the nearby volcano erupted and Jasmine’s house was burned to the ground by one of the advancing lava flows, while she was working in San Francisco. As a result of having been so busy with work and the rental, Jasmine neglected to pay her homeowners insurance that was due July 1, 2016, so at the time of the eruption, she had no insurance. The 2016 information is a combination of the management company information through May 31, and Jasmine’s records for the rest of the year up until the house was caught in the lava flow. Jasmine sold the land in a fire sale “as-is” for $50,000 on December 31, 2016. Jasmine is a successful IT consultant with AGI, made up of wages and interest income, for 2016 of $375,500 and $365,750 for 2015.

You owe $2000 on a credit card that charges 20% interest. You have $2200 in your savings account that earns 1.69% interest. Your savings account charges $14.50 a month if you keep a balance of less than $1500 a month. Compare the amount of interest for both to decide what you should do about paying the credit card bill. Consider all factors in the decision. Show your for any calculations you may completed.
