The manufacturer of a certain brand of cigarettes states that the nicotine content in their cigarettes is 18.2mg with a standard deviation of 1.15mg. An independent testing agency
examined a random sample cigarettes (sample below). At a 5% level of significance, is there evidence for the testing agency to conclude that the mean nicotine level to be other than the company states?

a) Efficient market hypothesis (EMH) states that the price of a security (such as a share) accurately reflects the information available. When information arrives, how fast will an information about a share be captured and reflected in the share price depends on the degree of competition among market investors. List and briefly explain, in your own words, two variations of information.

(b) Modigliani and Miller (1958) outline the most authoritative work on the theory of capital structure in a perfect market setting. However, capital markets are imperfect. With the presence of imperfections, managers must balance the costs of benefits of introducing debt into a company’s capital structure. List and briefly explain ONE cost and ONE benefit of debts that must be considered in forming the optimal debt level.

(c) Fama (1976) finds that the portfolio standard deviation decreases with the number of shares included in the portfolio, at a diminishing rate, to a positive and constant level of standard deviation. Explain briefly, in your own words, (i) why the portfolio standard deviation decreases; and (ii) why the decreasing rate of portfolio standard deviation stop after reaching a positive and constant level.

(d) From a theoretical perspective, define the market portfolio. In your answer, elaborate how a market portfolio could be proxied by.

1. A recent report states that on a Friday night, the waiting time to be seated at cheesecake factory is normally distributed with a mean of 165 minutes and a standard deviation of 40 minutes. A research agency selects a random sample of 20 people waiting to be seated on a Friday night.

1. What is the standard error of the mean in this sample?
2. What is the likelihood that the sample mean is between 160 and 175 minutes?
3. What is the likelihood that the sample mean is greater than 175 minutes?

in this problem we are interested in the time-evolution of the states in the infinite square potential well. The time-independent stationary state wave functions are denoted as ψn(x) (n = 1, 2, . . .).

(a) We know that the probability distribution for the particle in a stationary state is time-independent. Let us now prepare, at time t = 0, our system in a non-stationary state

Ψ(x, 0) = (1/√( 2)) (ψ1(x) + ψ2(x)).

Study the time-evolution of the probability density |Ψ(x, t)|^2 for this state. Is it periodic in the sense that after some time T it will return to its initial state at t = 0? If so, what is T? Sketch, better yet plot (by using some software), |Ψ(x, t)|^2 for 3 or 4 moments of time t between 0 and T that would nicely display the qualitative features of the changes, if any.

(b) Let us now prepare the system in some arbitrary non-stationary state Ψ(x, 0). Is it true that after some time T, the wave function will always return to its original spatial behavior, that is,

Ψ(x, T) = Ψ(x, 0)

(perhaps with accuracy to an inconsequential overall phase factor)? If so, what is this quantum revival time T? Compare to (a). And why do you think it was possible to have it in this system for an arbitrary state?

(c) Think now about the revival time for a classical particle of energy E bouncing between the walls. Assuming the positive answer to (b), if we were to compare the classical revival behavior to the quantum revival behavior, when these times would be equal?

Need help with Part C!

A. A beverage company hires a manager to work in China. The contract states that if the manager works there for 3 years she will receive an extra bonus of $ 5,000 at the end of each quarter for 6 years following her assignment. Find the lump sum that would have to be deposited today to equal the ending value of the annuity after 6 years assuming money can earn 5.2% interest compounded quarterly.

B. Betty's Cola, Inc. will need a new bottling machine in 5 years and has been told to deposit $10,000 at the end of each quarter for 5 years to accumulate the needed funds. Assuming money can earn 6% compounded quarterly, what lump sum deposited today will generate the same ending value of the annuity after 5 years?

C. Sandy Chen borrows money at 8% compounded quarterly for her college tuition fee. She agrees to repay the note with a payment of $2,000 per quarter for 5 years. What is this annuity worth today?

D. Monica took out a loan for a new business. She needed $665,000 for start-up costs. She used $65,000 of her own money and took out the loan for the remaining $600,000. Assuming it is a 30-year loan at 7.2% compounded monthly, find the amount of her monthly payment.

Please explain each question :)

The law of demand states that as the price of a good rises,
A. buyers purchase more of the good, because they expect prices to be even higher in the future
B. buyers purchase less of the good, because they expect prices to fall in the future
C. buyers purchase less of the good, because their real income decreases with an increase in price
D. buyers purchase more of the good, because the price of a substitute has risen
