a) A manager at the Kemboja Car Sales and Services Enterprise wishes to estimate the number of days it takes for his car dealer to sell a local made car model. A random sample of 50 cars was selected and the mean number of days his car dealer is able to sell a local made car is 50 days. Assume the population standard deviation is 6 days.

i) Find the best point estimate of the population mean. Find the standard error of the

mean.

ii) Calculate the 99% confidence interval of the population mean number of days a car

dealer is able to sell a local made car.

b) As an aid for improving students’ study habit, 6 students were randomly selected to attend a seminar on the importance of education in life.

Consider the following two banks:

Bank 1 has assets composed solely of a 10-year, 11.75 percent coupon, $2.1 million loan with a 11.75 percent yield to maturity. It is financed with a 10-year, 10 percent coupon, $2.1 million CD with a 10 percent yield to maturity.

Bank 2 has assets composed solely of a 7-year, 11.75 percent, zero-coupon bond with a current value of $2,229,035.91 and a maturity value of $4,851,206.79. It is financed by a 10-year, 11.00 percent coupon, $2,100,000 face value CD with a yield to maturity of 10 percent.

All securities except the zero-coupon bond pay interest annually.

a. If interest rates rise by 1 percent (100 basis points), what is the difference in the value of the assets and liabilities of each bank? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
