/*Question 3: The following data contains five columns (variables) and five rows (observations). First, read the data into SAS to create a data set. Notice that the first, third, and the fifth variable have missing values. Please replace the missing values of the first, third, and fifth variable with 30, 40, and 50, respectively. Next, for all the variables, if a value is at least 100, make an adjustment to the value such that its new value is equal to its old value minus 50. 15 20 . 35 55 60 50 75 100 80 . 40 100 200 . 25 50 79 120 45 80 150 . 120 35 */

You think that a stock price is going to swing into a certain range. Hence, in order to limit your risk (and your return as well), you decide to buy one put for $7 with exercise price of 110; buy one put for $1 with exercise price of 95; sell one put for $4 with exercise price of 105; and sell one put for $2 with exercise price of $100. (a) What is your maximum profit and maximum loss of this option strategy? (hint: using a table, develop profit and loss scenarios for the following stock prices: $90, $100, $105, $110) (Note that each option contract includes 100 stocks) (b) What is your breakeven point?

Stocks:

50% of portfolio - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD)

starting price: 30.9$ Closing price: 29.94$

50% of portfolio - Canopy Growth Corp (CGC)

Starting price: 24.21$ Closing price: 27.31$

Report the overall realized return on your investment portfolio.

Don’t confuse expected and realized returns.

This is expected return:

E[Rp]=w1*R1+w2*R2+w3*R3+w4*R4

wi=weight of stock ‘’i’’ in your portfolio

This is realized one:

Ri=realized return of asset ‘’i’’= (Price @ end – Price @ beginning)/Price @ beginning

OR

more formally:

R=(P[t+1]-P[t])/P[t]

Example:

The cost of your portfolio at t=0 is 100 euro. At t=1, your portfolio costs 107 euro.

Realized return for the period= (107-100)/100=7%

starting price: 24.21$     Closing price: 27.31$

You manage a department in a large firm. Management follows a standard 100% markup over the wholesale price it pays for all items in the store. (So if the store pays a wholesale price of $50 for an item, it sets its retail price at $100.) In your experience, the elasticity of demand is in the neighborhood of -3. Is top management’s pricing strategy appropriate?

Consider a competitive market for which the quantities demanded and supplied​ (per year) at various prices are given as​ follows:

Calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price is ​$100.

The price elasticity of demand is ____

​(Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.​)

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced it is going to break far out of that range in the next three months. You do not know whether it will go up or down, however. The current price of the stock is $100 per share, and the price of a 3-month call option at an exercise price of $100 is $10.

1. If the risk-free interest rate is 10% per year,what must be the price of a 3-month put option on P.U.T.T. stock at an exercise price of $100? (The stock pays no dividends.)

2. What would be a simple options strategy to exploit your conviction about the stock price’s future movements? How far would it have to move in either direction for you to make a profit on your initial investment?

USE C language :- The use of computers in education is referred to as computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Write a program that will help an elementary school student learn multiplication. Use the rand function to produce two positive one-digit integers. The program should then prompt the user with a question, such as
How much is 6 times 7?

The student then inputs the answer. Next, the program checks the student’s answer.

• If it’s correct, display the message "Very good!" and ask the student if she/he would like to continue. If no terminate the program. if yes ask another multiplication question.
• If the answer is wrong, display the message "No. Please try again." and let the student try the same question repeatedly until the student finally gets it right.

A separate function should be used to generate each new question. This function should be called once when the application begins execution and each time the user answers the question correctly.

Before ending the program, the program should display how many questions were right and how many questions were answered wrong at the first time it was answered.

1.Discuss the fiscal and monetary policy measures that have been put in place to deal with the effects of COVID-19. Use graphs to explain the different policies and explain how you think they will affect output and employment in the short and the long run.

2. Would the impact be different if the country was under a fixed exchange rate regime?

3. Would you recommend a fixed exchange rate regime in the context of COVID-19, seeing how the rand has suffered?
