Place yourself in the position of an executive manager (e.g., CEO, CFO, or COO) of The Home Depot. Further assume that you and your colleagues believe that it is time to further expand the company by way of new store locations. It is estimated that the cost of this expansion will be approximately $200 million. Of course, one of the key points of your discussion is the means by which the necessary funds will be raised.

The questions that appear below have arisen during a meeting among you and your colleagues. How would you respond to these questions?

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages to our company of financing the expansion by issuing bonds? By issuing common stock?

2. In the current economic climate, is it appropriate for us to be considering this expansion? In other words, would such an expansion be in the best interest of our stockholders? Why or why not?

1. EXCHANGE RATES: AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR (AUD) [15 marks]
   1. Consider the following hypothetical (separate) events from December 2020 to December 2021:

1. Speculators are seriously concerned about long-term effects on the Australian economy of the coronavirus.
2. India and China increase their demand for Australia’s metals such as iron ore and lithium.
3. US Federal Reserve lowers the US cash rate from 1.50% to 0.50%, while the Reserve Bank of Australia raises its cash rate from 0.50% to 1.00%.

For each event, identify the specific factor and explain the likely effect on the price of the Australian Dollar (AUD) in the foreign exchange market. Use a relevant demand and supply for AUD diagram in each of your answers.

                                                                                               [9 marks]

1. b.Suppose in Australia the AUD in 2020 strongly depreciated against major currencies. Is there likely to be a contractionary or expansionary effect on the Australian economy from the depreciation of the AUD? Explain your answer.

                                                                                               [3 marks]

c) Discuss the likely effects a large appreciation of the AUD would have on: (i) consumers travelling overseas; (ii) wheat exporters; (iii) import-competing Australian firms such as manufactures. [3 marks]

Exercise 5: Inappropriate Interview Questions Exercise: An interview question is not in itself illegal, but how the interviewer uses the answer can be. The goal of an interview is typically to obtain important information about the candidate while reinforcing the organization's employer brand and maintaining a positive employer image. It can be helpful to practice recognizing inappropriate interview questions and identifying ways to more appropriately get the information that you are looking for from the candidate. Working with a group of 2-3 students, read this list of interview questions and explain why each is inappropriate. Try to identify the type of information being requested that may be important for the position, and identify a way to obtain the same desired information in a more appropriate way.

The MBA program was experiencing problems scheduling its courses. The demand for the program’s optional courses and majors was quite variable from one year to the next. In one year, students seem to want marketing courses; in other years, accounting or finance are the rage. In desperation, the dean of the business school turned to a Statistics professor for assistance. The Statistics professor believed that the problem may be the variability in the academic background of the students and that the undergraduate degree affects the choice of major. As a start, he took a random sample of last year’s MBA students and recorded the undergraduate degree and the major selected in the graduate program. The undergraduate degrees were BA (=1), BEng (=2), BBA (=3), and several others (=4). There are three possible majors for the MBA students: Accounting (=1), Finance (=2), and Marketing (=3). Can the Statistics professor conclude that the undergraduate degree affects the choice of major?

1. a) Create a cross-classified (or contingency) table with undergraduate degree as the row and MBA major as the column. The data in this table should be deemed as observed counts.

2. b) Create another table with the corresponding expected counts and having row totals, column totals, and grand total. Round each cell value to two decimal places.

3. c) Perform a chi-square test to assess the association (or independence) between undergraduate degree and choice of MBA major at 5% level of significance. Verify the assumptions required for the chi-square test of independence. Make sure you follow all the steps for hypothesis testing indicated in the Instructions section and show your computations.

1. President Trump passed an executive bill, banning Chinese airplanes from landing in America, and Chinese Post Graduate students from studying in America. As Chinese tourists and students contribute greatly to the US economy, how do you think this law by President trump will affect US productivity and economic growth?

1- 97% of America or 97% of Americans. Obviously, one is based on land area and the other is based on the number of people. If a cell phone company can achieve 97% of Americans, then the company's income must be very substantial. If a cell phone company achieves 97% of the US land, it shows that the coverage is very wide, for example, some areas with sparsely populated areas are also covered. According to data, the United States has a population of 328.2 million and a land area of ​​3,797,000 mi². Wyoming has the smallest population in the United States, with only more than 500,000 residents. If I choose, I will choose company A. For me, cell phone company can cover 97% of the area of ​​the United States. Relatively speaking, the manpower and material resources spent by the company will be reduced, because the area is determined and easy to operate, but 97% of Americans need to spend a lot of money. Advertising costs, etc., that is very inefficient and difficult to maintain. For example, a person who loves to travel will also choose a US cell phone company that can cover 97% America, because going to places with few people can ensure that they can call others. So I choose company A.

-------------------------------------

2-Do you think it is better for a cell phone company to cover 97% of America or 97% of Americans? What is the difference? If cell phone company A covers 97% of America, while cell phone company B covers 97% of Americans, which company would you choose and why?

In my opinion, I think this question is to rely on a company’s two basics which are profit and service. If company B covers 97% of American users, this means that they will definitely make a large amount of money. There are about 330 million people in the USA (U.S. and World Population Clock, 2020). If 97% percent of these people using the same cell phone company that means this company will make trillions of incomes. what the greatest advantage is that this company's service can choose to focus on places with a high population density. This action will help them to cut a large amount of budget. Alaska, which is the largest US state and third least populated state. The land area of Alaska is one-fifth of the U.S. but the population is third-least in the US (Kästle, 2020). If company B services this place, it will be a very uneconomical action. the company can choose to abandon these very-low-density places and try their best to serve other states with more economic benefits. If company A covers 97% of America, this means that they will have the greatest service in the United States because this means that people in the US can use this service no matter where they go. Company A needs to focus on the coverage of US territory.

An MCAT is an exam that university students take if they are interested in applying to med school. A professor at the University of Guelph quotes the following: "Because only a minority of university students actually take the MCAT, the scores overestimate the ability of a typical university student. The mean MCAT score is about 508, but I think that if all students took the test, the mean score would be no more than 450". This professor gave the test to a random sample of 500 students in Ontario, and found that these students had a mean score of x = 461.

a) Is this good evidence against the claim that the mean for all students is no more than 450? For the purpose of this example, let us assume that the population standard deviation σ of MCAT scores in our Ontario population is 100.

b) would this statistically significant result be practically significant?

b) Would this statistically significant result be significant in a practical sense?
