You have an economics test in two weeks. It will cover both micro- and macroeconomics. Each part will be worth 50 points. You have a total of 100 hours that you can spend studying for this exam. For the first 15.0 hours you spend studying microeconomics, you will get one point more for each additional hour of studying. After that, you will get one point more for each three hours you spend studying, up to the maximum possible of 50 points. Macroeconomics is different. For your first 20.0 hours of studying you will get one point for each 45 minutes you spend studying. After that, you will get one point for each 1.5 hours you spend up to the maximum of 50 points. How many hours in total should you spend studying macroeconomics? No units, no rounding.

Dean Kuroff started a business of rehabbing old homes. He recently purchased a circa-1800 Victorian mansion and converted it into a three-family residence. Recently, one of his tenants complained that the refrigerator was not working properly. Dean’s cash flow was not extensive, so he was not excited about purchasing a new refrigerator. He is considering two other options: purchase a used refrigerator or repair the current unit. He can purchase a new one for $400, and it will easily last 3 years. If he repairs the current one, he estimates a repair cost of $150, but he also believes that there is only a 30% chance that it will last a full 3 years and he will end up purchasing a new one anyway. If he buys a used refrigerator for $200, he estimates that there is a 0.6 probability that it will last at least 3 years. If it breaks down, he will still have the option of buying a new one. Develop a decision tree for this situation and determine Dean’s optimal strategy.

1. Implement a public method named initialize. It takes a two dimensional square array of integers named

array as a parameter. It initializes all of the elements of the array to the sum of their indices except for the
major diagonal (upper left to lower right) where each element is initialized to -1. (For testing use a 4X4 or
5X5 array and have the application print out the array in 2 dimension format.

2. Implement a method named totals that takes a two dimensional integer array named array as a parameter
and returns a one dimensional array where each element is the sum of the columns of the input array.

3. A method named vowels that accepts a String array named alpha. The method will return the index of the

String that contains the most vowels. If there is a tie anyone will be good.

4. A method named count that accepts 2 parameters, an array of integers named array and an integer named min. The method will return the number of elements that are greater than ‘min’.

5. A method named order that accepts an integer array named digits. The method will print to the screen the both the maximum and minimum values of the array.

6. A method named summit that accepts 2 integer arrays named gamma and delta. If the arrays are the same size the method will return an array of the sum of the corresponding elements. If they are of different sizes the method will return an array of 10 elements where all of the elements are set to -1.

7. A method named border that accepts a two dimensional array of chars named array as a parameter. It initializes all of the elements of the array to ‘x’ except for the perimeter (first and last column, and first and last row) that is initialized to ‘o’.

In PYTHON:

Write a function that receives a sentence and returns the last word of that sentence. You may assume that there is exactly one space between every two words, and that there are no other spaces at the sentence.

To make the problem simpler, you may assume that the sentence contains no hyphens, and you may return the word together with punctuation at its end.

  1. Last year LaCroix Optical had $145 million of sales, and it had $40 million of fixed assets that were used at 75% of capacity. Use this information to solve the next two problems.
  1. (10 points) In millions, by how much could LaCroix Optical sales increase before it is required to increase its fixed assets?


  2. (10 points) LaCroix Optical was approached by the Department of Defense (DoD)because of their ability to manufacture the lens required for night vision goggles. LaCroix Optical is the last remaining firm domiciled in the United States that can manufacture the night vision lens, and subsequently the DoD designated the company as essential critical infrastructure. The company’s sales are expected to approximately double after signing a DoD contract. How much additional financing will LaCroix Optical need?

The Robinson Corporation has $44 million of bonds outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate...

The Robinson Corporation has $44 million of bonds outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate of 12.650 percent seven years ago. Interest rates have fallen to 11.750 percent. Mr. Brooks, the Vice-President of Finance, does not expect rates to fall any further. The bonds have 17 years left to maturity, and Mr. Brooks would like to refund the bonds with a new issue of equal amount also having 17 years to maturity. The Robinson Corporation has a tax rate of 30 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue was 4.40 percent of the total bond value. The underwriting cost on the new issue will be 2.70 percent of the total bond value. The original bond indenture contained a five-year protection against a call, with a call premium of 6 percent starting in the sixth year and scheduled to decline by one-half percent each year thereafter. (Consider the bond to be seven years old for purposes of computing the premium.) Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Assume the discount rate is equal to the aftertax cost of new debt rounded up to the nearest whole percent (e.g. 4.06 percent should be rounded up to 5 percent)

a. Compute the % discount rate.

b. Calculate the present value of total outflows.

c. Calculate the present value of total inflows.

d. Calculate the net present value.
