HOW TO DO B PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL
One measure of the risk or volatility of an individual stock is
the standard deviation of the total return (capital appreciation
plus dividends) over several periods of time. Although the standard
deviation is easy to compute, it does not take into account the
extent to which the price of a given stock varies as a function of
a standard market index, such as the S&P 500.
As a result, many financial analysts prefer to use another measure
of risk referred to as beta. Betas for individual stocks are
determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is
the total return for the stock and the independent variable is the
total return for the stock market. For this case problem we will
use the S&P 500 index as the measure of the total return for
the stock market, and an estimated regression equation will be
developed using monthly data. The beta for the stock is the slope
of the estimated regression equation (b1). The data contained in
the file named Beta provides the total return (capital appreciation
plus dividends) over 36 months for eight widely traded common
stocks and the S&P 500.
The value of beta for the stock market will always be 1; thus,
stocks that tend to rise and fall with the stock market will also
have a beta close to 1. Betas greater than 1 indicate that the
stock is more volatile than the market, and betas less than 1
indicate that the stock is less volatile than the market. For
instance, if a stock has a beta of 1.4, it is 40% more volatile
than the market, and if a stock has a beta of .4, it is 60% less
volatile than the market.
Managerial Report
You have been assigned to analyze the risk characteristics of these
stocks. Prepare a report that includes but is not limited to the
following items.
A (30 points). Compute descriptive statistics for each stock and
the S&P 500. Comment on your results. Which stocks are the most
volatile?
B (30 points). Compute the value of beta for each stock. Which of
these stocks would you expect to perform best in an up market?
Which would you expect to hold their value best in a down
market?
C (40 points). Comment on how much of the return for the individual
stocks is explained by the market.

You were recently promoted to a management position of a firm that produces a certain popular widget, replacing the previous manager. The firm uses only two types of labor when producing the product: experienced workers and unskilled workers. The firm can hire as many workers as needed. Unskilled workers are paid a wage of $10 per hour and experienced workers $50 per hour.
In your initial analysis, you learn that at the current amounts of labor, the marginal product of unskilled labor is 50 and a marginal product of experienced labor is 100.
Why did the firm replaced the previous manager and promoted you? Explain in detail.

1) Ahmed can paint the office in 5 hours. When Jamel helps him it takes them 4 hours working together. How long will it take Jamel if he works alone?
2) If a projectile is fired straight upward form the ground with
an initial speed of 96 feet per second, then its height h in feet
after t seconds is given by the function h(t)= -16t^2+96t
Find the maximum height of the projectile.
3) he model A= 1.6 e^0.039t gives the minimum wage, A, in year
t, and where t= 0 represents the year 1970.
a)Use model to predict the minimum wage in the year 2018.
b) Use the model to find the year in which the minimum wage reach
$15 per hour.

Jane was riding her horse on a warm sunny day (101 degrees
Fahrenheit) when suddenly her horse stopped and reared up in the
air. Jane was not prepared for this and fell hard backwards into
the ground. As she hit the ground Jane's leg was gashed open by a
large, sharp boulder that she fell next to. Jane began to bleed
severely. Jane's pulse seems to be low and her respiratory rate is
at 22 bpm.

Please explain this, especially Part A in detail (how to draw).
Someone posted the answer of this but do not understand it.
Firm "Challenger Inc". uses two inputs (input K1 & input K2) to produce its final good (Q). Specifically, it needs two (2) units of input K1 and one (1) unit of input K2 to produce one unit of its final good. The production function as this function by the Managerial Director of Challenger Inc.: Q = F( K1, K2 ) = Min( 0.5K1 , K2 )
A- Draw Isoquant curves of this production function (K2 on the vertical axis and K1 on the horizontal axis).
B- The firm is currently producing 10 units of the final good (Q). If the price of both inputs (K1 and K2) is equal to 10, what is the minimum total expenditure the firm needs to incur to produce the 10 units of Q output?
C-Now suppose Challenger Inc. has a budget of $ 450 and the prices of inputs K1 and K2 have not changed. What is the maximum number of units of the final good the firm can produce?
D- If the firm’s budget was $459, would your answer in part c change? (Note: You can only produce integer units of Q output).
E- Refer to Part C. If Challenger Inc.'s budget was $468, would your answer in part c change? (Note: You can only produce integer units of Q output).

A) p= p0 + gamma * z ( equilibrium of a vertical fluid column)
and
B) dp/dx = 0 and dp/dz + gamma = 0 ( equilibrium of an infinitesimal element of fluid )
show that one can derive 1) A from B and 2) B from A .. so A and B are equivalent forms of the equilibrium equations for fluids
