(1) A: The stocks of Apple and Amazon have the following expected returns: State of Economy Probability of State of Economy Apple's Return if State Occurs Amazon's Return if State Occurs Recession 55% -9% -12% Normal 30% 8% 11% Boom 15% 17% 14% Which company's stock is riskier, based on standard deviation?  

B: If you have 120 shares of Apple's common stock ($171.05 per share) and 90 shares of Amazon's common stock ($1162.35 per share) in your portfolio, what is the expected return on your portfolio?

(2) Stock Y has a beta of 1.30 and an expected return of 15.3%. Stock Z has a beta of 0.70 and an expected return of 9.3%. If the risk-free rate is 5.5% and the market risk premium is 6.8%, are these stocks correctly priced?

(3) You have one million USD and want to create a portfolio equally as risky as the market. Given this information, fill in the rest of the following table: Asset Investment Beta Stock A $195,000 beta 0.90 Stock B $340,000 beta 1.15 Stock C ? 1.29 Risk-free asset ?

(4) Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 1.15 12.90% Repete Co. 0.84 10.20% Assume the two securities are correctly priced. Based on CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? What is the risk-free rate?  

(5) Explain the CAPM. [hint: we need to discuss systematic and unsystematic risks, diversification, assumptions CAPM makes, SML line, the model, things CAPM can't explain, etc. ]

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question.

To test for any significant difference in the number of hours between breakdowns for four machines, the following data were obtained.

(a)

At the α = 0.05 level of significance, what is the difference, if any, in the population mean times among the four machines?

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ ≠ μ₃ ≠ μ₄
H_a: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄H₀: Not all the population means are equal.
H_a: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄    H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄
H_a: Not all the population means are equal.H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄
H_a: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ ≠ μ₃ ≠ μ₄H₀: At least two of the population means are equal.
H_a: At least two of the population means are different.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

p-value =  

State your conclusion.

Reject H₀. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time between breakdowns is not the same for the four machines.Do not reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time between breakdowns is not the same for the four machines.    Reject H₀.

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time between breakdowns is not the same for the four machines.

(b)

Use Fisher's LSD procedure to test for the equality of the means for machines 2 and 4. Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Find the value of LSD. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

LSD =

Find the pairwise absolute difference between sample means for machines 2 and 4.

x₂ − x₄

Please refer to the Microsoft corp and explain how you would determine the company’s contribution margin and contribution margin percent. In your initial post include the following:

1.     Identify which specific variables should be included in the calculation.

2.     Illustrate your explanation by calculating the contribution margin and contribution margin percent using hypothetical values.

3.     Explain what your calculated results tell you about the company’s sales and cost structure.

Looking at Apple Corp. as the manufacturing company for computers and smartphones, explain how you would determine the company's contribution margin (CM) and contribution margin percent (CMP). In your initial post include the following:

• Identify which specific variables should be included in the calculation.
• Illustrate your explanation by calculating the contribution margin and contribution margin percent using hypothetical values.
• Explain what your calculated results tell you about the company’s sales and cost structure.

Drew Sneeze is not yet a CPA, but has passed two sections of the exam. He is a second year staff auditor at Deloitte and is working on the audit of public client Home Depot. This week during the audit, Drew told the controller that he was excited about a "dream deal" he'd found on an old house with a ton of character on a good sized lot on the outskirts of town a few months back, and they swapped "war stories" on how rewarding and challenging remodeling old homes can be. The controller really likes Drew, so he delivered a load of much needed remodeling materials to the house for $500, which was an 80% discount from Home Depot's standard pricing for normal customers. Drew was extremely excited and quickly paid the bill since he would not have otherwise been able to afford the materials.

#9 In humans red-green colorblindness is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. Polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. A woman with polydactyly (heterozygous) and normal vision marries a man with red-green colorblindness and normal fingers and toes. What phenotypes would you expect to see among their children?

Genetics - cystic fibrosis questions

Describe your disease by stating its symptoms. Be a thorough as possible. Then describe the mode of inheritance of your disease.

What is the mutation that causes your disease? If a protein is mutated, state the name of the protein and the type of mutation.

Where can the mutated gene be found? Where does the normal protein function? How does its mutation lead to the symptoms you described?

(2 points) Describe how a technology could be used to confirm that a newborn child has this disease.

(2 points) Describe the process that could be used to “cure” this disease. If the technology that exists cannot cure the disease, explain why.

(2 points) Would the “cure” of the disease eradicate it from the population? Explain your answer.
