We are evaluating a project that costs $856,000, has a life of 9 years, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 157,000 units per year. Price per unit is $41, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $865,416 per year. The tax rate is 22 percent, and we require a return of 18 percent on this project. |

b. fairly conserved genes
c. least conserved genes
humans accelerated genes
polymerases
ribosomal RNAs
3. which of the following is true about the human genome?
a. about half the genome codes for a protein
b. about half the genome is identical between individuals
c. about half the genome consists of introns
d. about half the genome consists of mobile elements
4. what are pseudogenes?
a. genes that are part of a mobile element
b. genes that have undergone multiple rounds of duplication
c. genes that are no longer functional but still resemble functional genes.
5. Urokinase and chymotrypsin ( a digestive enzymes) have one domain in common with each other. This suggests that
a. they eveolve through exon shuffling
b. they are part of a gene family
c. they perform similar functions
6, long introns and short exons promote evolution
a. true
b. false
7. In humans the globin gene family eveolved through
a. gene duplication and mutation
b. exon shuffling
c. frameshift mutation
8. why does gene duplication promote evolution?
a. duplication genes are under less selective pressure
b. duplication genes provide additional templates for DNA repair
c. duplication genes do not promote evolution
d. duplication genes are less likely to mutate
9. which of the following point mutations would have little or no effect on cellular function?
a. mutation from AUA to AUG
b. mutation in regulatory region
c. mutation from CUC to AUU
d. mutation from UUA to UUG
e. mutation in exon

10. scientists have estimated mutation rates by studying mutatant E.coli that are His-. Which of the following is (are) NOT true about the experiment involving His- E. coli?
a. His- mutants requires histidine in the media
b.His- mutants can not tolerate histidine
c. His- mutants spontaneously revert back to His+
d. His- mutants can not digest histidine
11. The National Toxicology Program report in 2016 that cell phone radiation increased brain tumor growth in male rats. Radiation can cause damage and mutations to DNA. Suppose you wished to study this further. You mate these rats and find that the offsprings have normal incidence of tumors. You would conclude that the tumors were most likely due to.
a. changes to somatic cells
b. changes in germ cells
c. changes to gonadal cells
If on the other hand the offspring also had increase tumor growth then you would conclude that the
a. tumor cells were passed down to offsprings
b. changes occur in stem cells
c. changes occur in germ cells
cell phones emit................ raditation when talking than on standby.
a. more
b. less
That would suggest that using a hands-free headset may be beneficial in preventing brain tumors. Ironically if the phone is kept in the pocket during a call using a headset then the genetic changes would be
a. prevented
b. more likely to pass to the next generation
c. less severe

(Bonds) A bond with a $1,000 par, 4 years to maturity, a coupon rate of 5%, and annual payments has a yield to maturity of 4.2%. What will be the percentage change in the bond price if the yield changes instantaneously to 4.6%? (If your answer is, e.g., -1.123%, enter it as -1.123. If the sign of the price change is incorrect, no credit will be given.)

Forecast Apple's free cash flows for each of the next five years based on Apple's free cash flow for 9/24/2016 and 9/30/2017. Assume that the changes in operating assets and liabilities is $0 for each of the years in your forecast period (9/30/18 - 9/30/22).

Aggregate Supply: Draw me a SRAS(AS) graph, start at the equilibrium of Price Level 5 and RGDP at 100. Assume there is minimum wage law now in effect. The minimum wage is higher that the wage rate prior. Show me this, assume the shift changes Price Level by 2 and RGDP by 20. Explain the shift.

Hedonic treadmill is the supposed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes. According to this theory, as a person makes more money, expectations and desires rise in tandem, which results in no permanent gain in happiness.

Create a chart ( any way you would like)that summaries all the medias include in the chart if the media is selective, differential, enrichment-any special characteristics, what is it used for identification, what are the possible results ( and any color changes or any other ingredients needed to analyze) and what are the interpretations if those results.

Explain the differences between Shorting (selling) call and puts, not just in definition, but in actual workings of the option, price changes, time value, the Greeks, strategic use in a portfolio, risk management etc. Give an example of an American based company, and one call and one put for the company and explain the pricing differences and why they are.
