David Palmer identified the following bonds for investment:

  1. Bond A: A $1 million par, 10% annual coupon bond, which will mature on July 1, 2025.
  2. Bond B: A $1 million par, 14% semi-annual coupon bond (interest will be paid on January 1 and July 1 each year), which will mature on July 1, 2031.
  3. Bond C: A $1 million par, 10% quarterly coupon bond (interest will be paid on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 each year), which will mature on July 1, 2026.

The three bonds were issued on July 1, 2011.

(Each Part is Independent)

  1. If Bond B is issued at face value and both Bond B and Bond A are having the same yield to maturity (EAR), calculate the market price of Bond A on July 1, 2011. [Note: Full mark would only be given to correct answer of which the values of those variables not provided in the question directly are derived.]                                                                       

  1. David purchased the Bond C on January 1, 2014 when Bond C was priced to have a yield to maturity (EAR) of 10.3812891%. David subsequently sold Bond C on January 1, 2016 when it was priced to have a yield to maturity (EAR) of 12.550881%. Assume all interests received were reinvested to earn a rate of return of 3% per quarter (from another investment account), calculate the current yield, capital gain yield and the 2-year total rate of return (HPY) on investment for David on January 1, 2016. [Hint: Be careful with how many rounds of coupons has David received during the holding period and thus how much interests (coupons and reinvestment of coupons) he has earned in total during the 2-year holding period.]                                                                                                      
  1. David purchased Bond B on a coupon payment day. Bond B is priced to have a yield to maturity (EAR) of 12.36% and its market value is $1,101,058.953 on the date of purchase. Find the remaining life until maturity (in terms of 6-month period or year) of Bond B.

Determine the direction of the electric field at the following three points:
Point E halfway between two like charges. (-120 degrees, 50 V/m)
Point F halfway between two opposite charges. (-90.5 degrees, 309 V/m)
Point G at the center of the square. (90 degrees, 210 V/m)

1. For the points E, F and G, draw a diagram showing both charges and the two individual field vectors (one for each charge) and explain why their vector sum points in the direction that you.

2. Determine the electric potential at the points E, F and G. List them numerically and give an explanation for their value

Predicting High/Low user of Social Networking Sites among students

A study was conducted to identify the variables which distinguish between heavy/light users of social networking sites among students. A questionnaire was designed for the purpose. The social networking sites considered for the study were Facebook, Orkut, Linked-in, Twitter, etc. the online survey was conducted on a sample of 61 students in the age group of 20 to 30. The collected response data is attached herewith in excel sheet.

Run a two-group Logistic regression analysis with high/low user as a categorical dependent variable and the variables X3A to X3L as predictor variables. To:

a. Compute the percentage of respondents that it is able to classify correctly

b. Determine the statistical significance of the logistic function

c. Identify which of the predictor variables are relatively better in classifying between the two groups.
