With respect to the dividend discount model (constant and nonconstant forms), net present value model, FCF enterprise value model, etc., it has been suggested that the complexity is not the actual formula but the inputs. Use the constant growth dividend discount model (P = D / r – g) to explain why—and what about—the complexity of the inputs is key to the analysis.

1. Gyms often use pricing strategies. Suppose a yearly membership to the gym costs $300, a monthly pass costs $40, and a daily pass costs $10. A. Explain the rationale for this pricing strategy. B. What must be true about the customer’s price elasticity of demand in each group? Who might be the “typical” customer in each group?

In a study of red/green color blindness, 1000 men and 700 women are randomly selected and tested. Among the men, 92 have red/green color blindness. Among the women, 19 have red/green color blindness. Test the claim that men have a higher rate of red/green color blindness.
The test statistic is
The p-value is

In a unique species of plants, flowers may be either yellow, blue, red, or mauve. A pure-breeding line with blue flowers is crossed to a pure-breeding red-flowered line, and the resulting F₁ plants have yellow flowers. In the F₂ the following ratio is observed:

9/16 yellow: 3/16 blue: 3/16 red: 1/16 mauve

If pure-breeding yellow and mauve plants are crossed, the same F₂ ratio is observed.

A. Give a concise genetic hypothesis for the inheritance of this trait (include number of genes, number of alleles and dominance relations between alleles).

B. Designate your own gene symbols and list the genotypes and ratios for each F₂ class.

C. Determine the expected phenotypic ratios if the F₁ from above is crossed to a pure-breeding mauve plant.

Microeconomics

Over the past seven weeks, we have explored the foundational concepts and principles of microeconomics, and we have applied them to the world around us. Take this time to share what you have learned with your classmates. In your initial post, respond to the following:

• Choose one microeconomic concept applied in Under Armour Inc. Explain your findings and the implications to your chosen firm’s sustainability.

• Using the same microeconomic concept chosen above, explain how it would be applied to the firm where you work or the type of firm you hope to work for in the future. What does this imply about this firm’s future?

Describe the Punctuated Equilibrium of change, and what are the drivers of change under this model?

Use a company you are familiar with or invent your own to explain your answer.
