Class Node ● Private member variables: coefficient (double), exponents (integer), and next pointer. ● Setter and getter functions to set and get all member variables ● constructor 2. Class PolynomialLinkedList ● Private member variable to represent linked list (head) ● Constructor ● Public Function to create a Node ● Public function to insert the Node to the linked list (sorted polynomial according to the exponent). ● Public function to print the polynomial in the elegant format: 23x 9 + 18x 7+3 ● Overloaded public function to allow adding two polynomials poly3=poly1+poly2 (23x 9 + 9x 7+3)+(2x 4+3x 7+8x 2 -6) =23x 9 +12 x 7+2x 4+8x 2 -3 ● Overloaded public function to allow negating (!) the sign of any polynomial poly3=!poly1 2x 4+3x 7+8x 2 -6 =- 2x 4 -3x 7+8x 2+6 ● Overloaded public function to allow multiplying two polynomials ● Public function to evaluate polynomial based on an input If x=1, then the value of this polynomial 2x 4+3x 7+8x 2 -6 should be 2(1) 4+3(1) 7+8(1) 2 -6 =7

Consider two firms which differ with respect to asset risk and financial leverage. Firm 1 owns assets worth $10,000,000, and has issued zero coupon bonds with a face value of $4,500,000. On the other hand, Firm 2 owns assets worth $25,000,000, and has issued zero coupon bonds with a face value of $15,000,000. The standard deviation of the return on firm 1’s assets is 40%, whereas the standard deviation of the return on firm 2’s assets is 50%. Assume that both firms will be liquidated one year from today and that the rate of interest is 3%. 1. What is the fair market value for the bonds issued by Firm 1? What is the dollar value of Firm 1’s limited liability put option? What is the yield to maturity, credit risk premium, and (risk neutral) probability of default for Firm 1’s bonds?

Darlene and Jacob Snell own 800 acres of farmland titled as "joint tenants with rights of survivorship, not as tenants in common". Currently the land is appraised at $5,000 per acre. In addition, Mr. Snell holds a $200,000 CD in his name only, and Mrs. Snell holds a $200,000 CD in her name only. Mr. and Mrs. Snell have no debts. Mrs. Snell's last will and testament provides that "all of my assets at my death shall be divided in three equal portions among my two children and my husband." Mrs. Snell dies unexpectedly, leaving her husband and two children as her sole heirs. Which of the following statements is true?

Albert Page purchased one of Extra-large Shirt Company’s bonds last year when the market interest rate on similar-risk bonds was 6 percent.   When he purchased the bond, it had seven years remaining until maturity. The bond’s coupon rate of interest (paid semi-annually) is 5 percent and its maturity value is $1000. Today, the market rate on similar risk bonds as the one Albert purchased one year ago is 4 percent.

3. If he were to sell the bond today, what price he can sell it for?
