Part 1

Please open “LIFE” data. The data is related to results of a survey that asks people to grade themselves in terms of Conscientiousness and Life satisfaction. Conscientiousness grading scale is from 1 to 10 whereas Life satisfaction criteria was graded from 1 to 80. And each person, surveyed grade himself by own for both criteria. Gender information is included in data as well. The objective of survey is whether life satisfaction can be explained with conscientiousness and gender. So, the dependent variable is defined as life satisfaction and the independent variables are gender and conscientiousness. Please do the following steps:

1) Run a linear regression in SPSS the dependent variable is life satisfaction and the independent variables are gender and cons. Copy and paste the SPSS output to your document.

2) Write down the regression equation.

3) Test if gender has no significant effect on life satisfaction at alpha=0.05 significance level.

4) Give a complete interpretation of the slope coefficient of gender

   LIFE DATA:

1. Company A has a current ratio of 2, PE ratio of 12, debt ratio of 25% and ROE of 8%. Its basic earnings power (EBIT/TA) is 20%. The company net income is $8000, and the tax rate is 40%. Find ROA and Time Interest Earned (EBIT/Interest) Ratio.

2. If company B uses cash to pay down the account payable, what will happen to its current ratio? (Please use numerical examples to illustrate)

3. Company C adopts a new operation system and improves its asset turnover ratio (Sales/Total Assets) from 0.8 last year to 1.8 this year. During this year, its asset grows by 30% from last year. How much does the sales have to grow in percentage this year so that the total asset turnover ratio is 1.8?

4. Company D has no debt now and is considering borrowing $200 million at a market interest rate of 5%. The loan is a balloon payment loan for 20 years, and the company faces a 30% marginal tax rate, what is the value of the tax benefits that the company will get just from the loan?

5. Currently, company E has a 20% debt ratio, a marginal tax rate of 40% and its beta is 1.3. The risk-free rate is 3% and the equity risk premium is 7%. What will happen to the cost of equity, if the firm moves to a 50% debt ratio?

6. Company F has 5 million shares, trading at $40/share and it has $30 million in debt. The manager believes that the value of the company will increase by 20% if it borrows another $30 million and buys back stock. Assuming investors are rational, what would the company expect to pay, per share, on the stock buyback?

7. Company G has 100 million shares outstanding, trading at $20/share and $900 million in debt outstanding. If the marginal tax rate for the firm is 30%, the cost of bankruptcy is 20% of current firm value and the probability of bankruptcy at the current debt level is 30%, what is the unlevered value of the firm?

8. Firm H has equity with a market value of $600 million and a current debt ratio of 20%. If the company has an optimal debt ratio of 50% and would like to borrow money and buy back stock right now, how much additional debt will the firm have to issue?

9. Company I operates in a market where investors pay a 30% tax rate on dividends and only 10% in capital gains. The company’s stock trades at $30/share today and has an annual dividend of $2/share. If the ex-dividend day is tomorrow, what would you expect the stock price to be at the end of today?

10. Mark Cuban is a household name due to his involvement on the hit reality show "Shark Tank," but Cuban is also a billionaire and owner of NBA basketball team the Dallas Mavericks. He's also got his hands in several other ventures, including a TV network. Cuban is an outspoken critic of the NBA and has long preferred investing directly into companies instead of the stock market. However, when he does invest in stocks, he sees dividends as a requirement rather than a bonus. Do you agree with him? Please elaborate your answers.

7. Company G has 100 million shares outstanding, trading at $20/share and $900 million in debt outstanding. If the marginal tax rate for the firm is 30%, the cost of bankruptcy is 20% of current firm value and the probability of bankruptcy at the current debt level is 30%, what is the unlevered value of the firm?

8. Firm H has equity with a market value of $600 million and a current debt ratio of 20%. If the company has an optimal debt ratio of 50% and would like to borrow money and buy back stock right now, how much additional debt will the firm have to issue?

9. Company I operates in a market where investors pay a 30% tax rate on dividends and only 10% in capital gains. The company’s stock trades at $30/share today and has an annual dividend of $2/share. If the ex-dividend day is tomorrow, what would you expect the stock price to be at the end of today?

A circular circuit of radius 30 cm is built to rotate about a

pair of insulating posts. The circuit consists of a 100 volt

battery, two 25 kW resistors in parallel and one 75 kW

resistor in series. The circuit is exposed to an external uniform magnetic field

of magnitude 0.75 Tesla and directed 20 degrees from the

normal vector of the circuit and the axis of rotation.

Calculate the total torque (magnitude and direction) on the

circuit

Calculate the component of the torque on the circuit

(magnitude and direction) at point A (exactly ¼ of the way

around the loop)

Suppose that the objective of a two-variable optimization model is to maximize 20X1 + 13X2, and that we find by graphing that the binding constraints are:

(3) 9X1+3X2≤87 (7) 4X1+6X2≤62

Based on the above, the optimal solution is at X1 = 8, X2 = 5, and OFV = 225.

(a) For the objective function coefficients, find the allowable increase and decrease for each coefficient (based on one-at-a-time changes).

(b) Suppose that the right-hand side of (3) is changed to 87+∆b3. Find expressions for the values of X1, X2, and OFV as a function of ∆b3, and from the latter state the shadow price of this constraint. [Do not worry about the allowable range.]

Breakin Away Company has three employees-a consultant, a computer programmer, and an administrator. The following payroll information is available for each employee:

For the current pay period, the computer programmer worked 60 hours and the administrator worked 50 hours. The federal income tax withheld for all three employees, who are single, can be determined by adding $356.90 to 28% of the difference between the employee's amount subject to withholding and $1,796.00. Assume further that the social security tax rate was 6%, the Medicare tax rate was 1.5%, and one withholding allowance is $70.

Determine the gross pay and the net pay for each of the three employees for the current pay period. Assume the normal working hours in a week are 40 hours. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
