For the 15-year period between 1995 and 2010, ABC’s monthly return had a standard deviation of 5%. Matthew, a certified financial analyst, wishes to establish whether the standard deviation witnessed during that period still adequately describes the long-term standard deviation of the company’s return. He collects data on the monthly returns recorded between 1st Jan. 2015 and 31st Dec. 2016 and computes a monthly standard deviation of 4%.
Carry out a 5% test to determine if the standard deviation computed in the latter period is different from the 15-year value.

health insurance benefits vary by the size of the company (Atlanta Business chronicle, December 31, 2010). The sample data below show the number of companies providing health insurance for small, medium, and large companies. for purposes of this study, small companies are companies that have fewer than 100 employees. Medium-sized com- panies have 100 to 999 employees, and large companies have 1000 or more employees.
The questionnaire sent to 225 employees asked whether or not the
employee had health
insurance and then asked the employee to indicate the size of the
company.
a. Conduct a test of independence to determine whether
health insurance coverage is independent of the size of the
company. What is the p-value? using a .05 level of significance,
what is your conclusion?
b. a newspaper article indicated employees of small
companies are more likely to lack health insurance

The 8% $30 million convertible loan note was issued on
1 April, 2010 at par. Interest is payable annually in arrears on 31
March each year.
The loan note is redeemable at par on 31 March, 2013 or convertible
into equity shares at the option of the loan note holders on the
basis
of 30 equity shares for each $100 of loan note. The company’s
finance director has calculated that to issue an equivalent loan
note without
the conversion rights it would have to pay an interest rate of 10%
per annum to attract investors.
The present value of $1 receivable at the end of each year, based
on discount rates of 8% and 10% are:
8% 10%
End of year 1 0·93 0·91
2 0·86 0·83
3 0·79 0·75
