Consider two 30-year maturity bonds. Bond A has a coupon rate of 4%, while bond B has a coupon rate of 12%. Both bonds pay their coupons semiannually.

a. Compute the prices of the two bonds at each interest rate. (Round the bond price to 2 decimal places.)

b. Suppose Bond A is currently priced to offer a yield to maturity of 8%. Calculate the (percentage) capital gain or loss on the bond if its yield immediately changes to each value of yield to maturity. (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to the nearest whole percent.)

c. Suppose Bond B is currently priced to offer a yield to maturity of 8%. Calculate the (percentage) capital gain or loss on the bond if its yield immediately changes to each value of yield to maturity. (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to the nearest whole percent.)

d. Which bond’s price exhibits greater proportional sensitivity to changes in its yield? In other words, which bond has greater interest rate risk?

e. Which bond pays a high coupon rate has lower “average” or “effective” maturity than a bond that pays a low coupon rate?

1. What biochemical feature of a phospholipid molecule allows phospholipids to spontaneously form closed compartments when placed in an aqueous solution?

b) passive transport does not utilize carrier/transporter proteins

c) active transport requires the input of energy

d) active transport only occurs at the plasma membrane

4. In the case of active transport, the Na+/K+ pump undergoes a sequence of conformational changes that allows the movement of Na+ and K+ across a membrane against their electrochemical gradients, while in the case of ER protein import SRP undergoes a sequence of conformational changes to allow the signal sequence to interact with the translocation pore. What drives these conformational changes?

a) hydrolysis of a high energy phosphate bond

b) binding of a solute or protein

c) both

d) neither

5. Is protein import into the ER co-transcriptional, or co-translational?

Sexuality is essential to the way one conceives oneself. It may depend on one's experiences and considerations that often fluctuate throughout his or her lifespan. It gets impacted by different biopsychosocial, economic, cultural, religious, and spiritual factors. The textbook states that with the passing time, the emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of sexual desire and expression become fairly stable in both genders. The Western views have equalized aging with dying, so most of the people probably have a confined view of aged adults as sexually active individuals. Unfortunately, our healthcare providers are also not exempted from these stereotypical attitudes.

Regardless of sexual orientation, how are men and women similar and different in terms of their attitudes toward sex and love?

Describe Sternberg's Triangular theory of Love. Can you compare a relationship you have experienced to Sternberg's theory?

How does a social cultural message add to the stereotypes toward sexuality in aging population?

Are there changes in the sexual behavior of the aged population?

Describe the changes in sexuality from puberty through late adulthood. Describe how a person's definition and experience of sexuality and intimacy often fluctuates throughout his or her lifespan. What are some of the influences as it relates to "changes in sexuality from puberty to late adulthood"?

PC.52 At the start of the semester Custom Kicks personnel were struggling to quickly customize their shoe inserts to their customers' feet. This hurt sales as customers became frustrated during the customization process and would hesitate to refer friends. During week three of running the business, it took an average employee about 20 minutes to customize one pair of inserts. Recognizing this challenge, management and key employees analyzed the customization process and made some time-saving changes. Two weeks later, after training all employees on the new process, an average employee could customize a pair of inserts in about 14 minutes. In this case, what is the output that should be used for productivity calculations? 1 pair (of customized inserts) 20 minutes 14 minutes After making the time-saving changes mentioned above, how many pair of inserts could an average employee complete in one hour? (Display your answer to two decimal places.) After making the time-saving changes mentioned above, by what percentage did Custom Kicks' productivity increase? (Write your answer as a percentage, and display your answer to two decimal places.) %

T&J manufacturing has a factory that produces custom kitchen cabinets. It has multiple product lines. Materials and labor for the cabinets are determined by each job. To simplify the assignment, we will assume the following average costs. The materials include $1,000 for the wood and other direct materials of $200. Both items listed are on a per job basis. It requires 20 hours of labor on average for a custom kitchen. The hourly rate is $10. The sales price will be set at a markup of 65%. The company estimates that it will have 16,000 direct labor hours in total for all product lines. It assumes 800 units are sold on average per year. A breakdown of estimated yearly costs related to the kitchen cabinets follows: Salaries- office & administrative $ 520,000 Salaries for factory personal: $ 220,000 Office Rent $ 125,000 Factory Rent $ 20,000 Office Utilities and Misc office expenses(based on units sold) $ 20,000 Sales Travel(based on units sold) $ 24,000 Insurance - office $ 12,000 Depreciation - office equipment $ 40,000 Depreciation for factory equipment $ 70,000 Advertising $ 20,000 Sales commissions(based on units sold) $ 45,000 Factory Property taxes: $ 10,000 Maintenance for factory equipment: $ 80,000

7. If the following changes were to be made, calculate a new CVP Income Statement: Direct Material costs decrease by 10%; fixed costs increase by 15% and sales price would increase by 5%. Assume you are selling the 800 units. Should the company consider these changes? Why or why not? This question is not just based on the new net income. Please review the full income statement for changes. What if the sales volume changes? Does this change your answer? I would recommend using volumes higher and lower to see how the changes impact your answer. Include any CVP income statements that are needed to support your answer. Discuss real examples of cost increases for fixed costs (at least 2) and decreases for direct materials (at least 2) that could be implemented for this business. Can the company increase price?

A friend of yours has twin 5 year old girls and loves to take them to the pool. You friend tells you, however that the most annoying thing is that although the girls are asked to pee before going into the pool, they generally say they don't have to pee, just to ask to go pee 5 minutes after being in the pool! "What's up with that?!" your friend asks, "Could there be something wrong with the girls, are they just being mischievous? Do you think I should take them to the doctor to see if there is a problem with their bladders? It only ever happens when they go into the pool". As a physiology student, apply your knowledge to explain why the girls tend to have to pee when they go swimming.

2. What pathway does the information travel up to the brain?
3. Where in the brain is the information received?
4. To conserve heat, where will blood be directed? To the limbs, or to the vital organs?
5. How is blood directed?

Question 2) Now that we know where blood is being directed when the body gets cold, how does that affect the following?

1. Blood pressure
2. Cardiac output
3. ANS
4. Osmoreceptors, Posterior Pituitary and ADH

Questions 3) How do the kidneys respond to the changes that can occur in blood pressure, cardiac output, ANS, Osmoreceptor, Posterior Pituitary and ADH, as noted in the previous questions?

1. How do the kidneys respond to changes in blood pressure?
2. How do the kidneys respond to changes in cardiac output and blood volume?
3. How do the kidneys respond to changes in ANS?
4. How do the kidneys respond to changes detected by osmoreceptors?
5. What hormones regulate water uptake in the kidneys?
6. What are water channels called?
