The stock of Arbor Pet Trees (APT) is priced based on the given systematic risk factors. Estimated sensitivities to these risk factors are given by the betas of the regression
RAPT – Rrf = βcreditRcredit + βvalue Rvalue + α + ε
| Factor | Risk Premium | Beta |
| Credit Risk | 5.3% | 1.5 |
| Valuation Risk | 2.4% | 0.3 |
| Risk-free rate | 1.3% |
What is the expected return on the stock of Arbor Pet Trees if the stock is fairly valued?

Dowell Manufacturing contracts to produce bumper cars for Five Flags Parks. Under the terms of the contract, Five Flags will pay Dowell a total of $60,000 when bumper cars are delivered six months later, and Five Flags can cancel the contract but must pay Dowell for work completed. Dowell believes that, if Five Flags cancelled the contract, Dowell could not sell the bumper cars to another park. As of December 31, 2020, the job is 80% complete. How much revenue should Dowell recognize in 2020 for this contract?

BUSINESS TRAVEL EXPENSES An executive of Trident Communications
recently traveled to London, Paris, and Rome. She paid
$280, $330, and $260 per night for lodging in London, Paris, and
Rome, respectively, and his hotel bills totaled $4060. She spent
$130, $140, and $110 per day for his meals in London, Paris, and
Rome, respectively, and his expenses for meals totaled $1800. If
she spent as many days in London as she did in Paris and Rome
combined, how many days did she stay in each city? Solve using Gauz
Jordan method.

Consider a taxi stand where inter-arrival times of the taxis and
the customers are both exponential with means of 0.5 and 1 minutes,
respectively. Stand has 3 spots that taxis can park while waiting
for the arriving customers. Arriving taxis leaves the stand when
all the spots are occupied. Similarly, arriving customers are also
lost when there is no taxi in the stand.
a. Model this system as a birth and death process by defining the
state and the state space, and drawing the rate diagram.
b. Compute the steady-state probabilities.
c. What is the expected number of taxis waiting at the stand in the
long run?
