Interpret the tables below: R, R square

interpret the regression coefficients, either b or beta.

Suppose a person’s life is divided into two main blocks, periods 1 and 2. The consumer does not desire to perfectly smooth consumption over the two periods. In particular, preferences are such that c2 = 0.5 ∗ c1. Income in the two periods is equal to y1 = 500 and y2 = 1000, and income taxes are proportional τ1 = 50% and τ2 = 50%. The real interest rate is r = 0%.

(a) What is the present value of lifetime resources (PVLR)? What is the highest feasible consumption in the current period? What is the highest feasible consumption in the future period?

(b) Find the optimal consumption in each period (c ∗ 1 , c∗ 2 ) and the amount of saving/borrowing. Comment on your findings.

(c) What happens to the consumption and saving choices if the real interest rate is r = 100% and there are no taxes (τ1 = τ2 = 0%)? Comment on your findings.

Dominique LeBlanc is the owner of a new ten-year $50,000 8% par-value bond with a Bermuda option and annual coupons. Allowable call dates are at the ends of years 6through 10, and the call premium at the end of year n is $300(10-n). Dominique purchased the bond for $51,975.00.

A) Find the lowest yield that Dominique may receive during the period she holds the bond.

B) Find the highest yield that Dominique may receive during the period she holds the bond.

C) Upon receipt, Dominique deposits each coupon and the redemption amount in an ac-count earning 6%. Find the lowest yield that Dominique may receive during the ten-year period.

D) Upon receipt, Dominique deposits each coupon and the redemption amount in an ac-count earning 6%. Find the highest yield that Dominique may receive during the ten-year period.

Return on Investment and Residual Income
Johnson Company has two sources of funds: long-term debt and equity capital. Johnson Company has profit centers in the following locations with the following net incomes and total assets:

a. Calculate ROI for each profit center and rank them from highest to lowest based on ROI.

Round ROI to the nearest whole percentage.

b. Calculate residual income for each profit center based on a desired ROI of 5% and rank them from highest to lowest based on residual income.

I. 1,4-hexadiene II. 1,3,5-octatriene III. 3,4-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene.

(A) Draw the structures of the above compounds and circle the compound with the highest lmax in UV-Vis spectrum.

(B) Draw the s-cis and s-trans isomers for the hexadiene compound(s) that will have the highest lmax in UV-Vis spectrum (I or III?).

(C) Draw the structure of the major product which results when compound III is treated with: (1) HBr at -80 oC.

(2) HBr at 40 oC.
What type of control does each of these reactions have (kinetic vs. thermodynamic)?

(D) Write the structure(s) of the compounds formed when the 2 isomers of 3,4-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene (s-cis and s-trans) are reacted with cis-1,2-dicyanoethylene (NCCH=CHCN). What type of reaction is observed

Treasury wants to issue $30 billion of 180-day Treasury bills. There are $5 billion of noncompetitive bids and $64 billion of competitive bids. The competitive bids are as follows: $13 billion at 2.75%; $11 billion at 3.50%; $10 billion at 4.00%; $9 billion at 3.25%; $8 billion at 3.00%; $7 billion at 3.75%; and $6 billion at 2.50%. (a) What will be the highest return/rate accepted and paid to all successful bidders? (b) What would be the bond-equivalent yield (investment rates) paid to all successful bidders? (c) What would be the price for the newly issued 180-day Treasury bills and report your answer to six decimal places like the Treasury does? Report your answers in the table.

So how to explain b and c?

2. In a two-player, one-shot, simultaneous-move game, each player can choose strategy A or strategy B. If both players choose strategy A, each earns a payoff of $400. If both players choose strategy B, each earns a payoff of $200. If player 1 chooses strategy A and player 2 chooses strategy B, then player 1 earns $100 and player 2 earns $600. If player 1 chooses strategy B and player 2 chooses strategy A, then player 1 earns $600 and player 2 earns $100.

a. Write the above game in normal form.

b. Find each player’s dominant strategy, if it exists.

c. Find the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria) of this game.

d. Rank strategy pairs by aggregate payoff (highest to lowest).

e. Can the outcome with the highest aggregate payoff be sustained in equilibrium? Why or why not?
