broker. The rate on the margin loan is 6 percent.

a. What is the percentage increase in the net wealth of your brokerage account if the price of XO immediately changes to

(1)$98

(2)$90

(3)$82

What is the relationship between your percentage return and the percentage change in the price of XO (derive the formula in general terms, not only the numbers)?

b. If the minimum margin is 30 percent, how low can XO’s price fall before you get a margin call?

c. How would your answer to (b) change if you had financed the initial purchase with only $15,000 of your own money?

d. What is the rate of return on your margined position (assuming again that you invest $15,000 of your own money) if XO is selling after one year at

(1)$98

(2) $90;

(3)$82

What is the relationship between your percentage return and the percentage change in the price of XO? Assume that XO pays no dividends.

e. Continue to assume that a year has passed. How low can XO price fall before you get a margin call?

Workers are compensated by firms with “benefits” in addition to wages and salaries. The most prominent benefit offered by many firms is health insurance.

Workers are compensated by firms with “benefits” in addition to wages and salaries. The most prominent benefit offered by many firms is health insurance. Suppose that in 2000, workers at one steel plant were paid $30 per hour and in addition received health benefits at the rate of $6 per hour. Also suppose that by 2010 workers at that plant were paid $31.5 per hour but received $13.5 in health insurance benefits. 

a. By what percentage did total compensation (wages plus benefits) change at this plant from 2000 to 2010? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Total compensation by: What was the approximate average annual percentage change in total compensation? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. 

b. By what percentage did wages change at this plant from 2000 to 2010? Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. Wages by: What was the approximate average annual percentage change in wages? Instructions: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. 

c. If workers value a dollar of health benefits as much as they value a dollar of wages, by what total percentage will they feel that their incomes have risen over this time period? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. What if they only consider wages when calculating their incomes? Incomes by: 

d. Is it possible for workers to feel as though their wages are stagnating even if total compensation is rising?

The National Football League (NFL) records a variety of performance data for individuals and teams. To investigate the importance of passing on the percentage of games won by a team, the following data show the average number of passing yards per attempt (Yds/Att) and the percentage of games won (Win%) for a random sample of  NFL teams.

Team Yds/Att Win%
Team 1 6.5 43
Team 2 7.9 76
Team 3 8.0 74
Team 4 7.6 63
Team 5 7.3 66
Team 6 7.9 76
Team 7 7.7 72
Team 8 8.0 77
Team 9 5.0 19
Team 10 5.9 36

c. Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the percentage of games won given the average number of passing yards per attempt. Enter negative value as negative number.

win= ( )+ ( )(Yds/Att) (to 2 decimals)

d. Provide an interpretation for the slope of the estimated regression equation (to 1 decimal).

The slope of the estimated regression line is approximately _____. So, for every_______of one yard in the average number of passes per attempt, the percentage of games won by the team increases by____ %.

e. The average number of passing yards per attempt for the other Team was 7.3. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (c) to predict the percentage of games won by the team. ____ %.

In a study of the accuracy of fast food​ drive-through orders, Restaurant A had 206 accurate orders and 57 that were not accurate. a. Construct a 95​% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurate. b. Compare the results from part​ (a) to this 95​% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at Restaurant​ B: 0.198less thanpless than0.299. What do you​ conclude? a. Construct a 95​% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form. nothingless thanpless than nothing ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.) b. Choose the correct answer below. A. Since the upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is higher than both the lower and upper confidence limits of the interval for Restaurant​ A, this indicates that Restaurant B has a significantly higher percentage of orders that are not accurate. B. No conclusion can be made because not enough information is given about the confidence interval for Restaurant B. C. Since the two confidence intervals​ overlap, neither restaurant appears to have a significantly different percentage of orders that are not accurate. D. The lower confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is higher than the lower confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant A and the upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is also higher than the upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant A.​ Therefore, Restaurant B has a significantly higher percentage of orders that are not accurate.
