Molson currently sells 41 different brands of beer in Canada. Labatt currently sells 17 different brands. The manager at Mike's Place needs to choose 5 Molson brands and 5 Labatt brands to sell. How many options do they have? The 10 beers (5 Labatt, 5 Molson) selected in the previous question must be placed in a line on a display shelf so that no two Molson products are adjacent and no two Labatt products are adjacent. How many ways are there to do this? Continuing from the previous question, suppose two of the brands selected by the manager were (Labatt) 50 and (Molson) Export. The display shelf can not have a bottle of 50 adjacent to a bottle of Export. How many ways are there to do this while still avoiding two adjacent Molson products and two adjacent Labatt products? How many of the arrangements from the previous question have the bottle of 50 and the bottle of Export among the first (leftmost) 5 bottles?

According to the above two-way contingency table, do we have enough evidence to conclude that ages is not related to seat-belt usage at 10% significance level?

Consider the following two income redistribution proposals. Discuss the issues to be considered when thinking about adopting these proposals from the Utilitarian and Rawlsian viewpoints.
A) The plan ends of taking $5.6 milllion from the highest 10% income households and $400,000 from the lowest 50% income households and ends up giving $5.5 milllion to the remaining households in the economy.
B) The plan takes $7 million from the highest 20% income households and ends up giving $2 million to the lowest 20% households.

What conclusions can be made about the quality of the process?
The R chart indicates that the process variability is in control/out of control . - No samples fall/One sample falls/Two samples fall/More than two samples fall...outside the R chart control limits. The x chart indicates that the process mean is in control/out of control . No samples fall/One sample falls/Two samples fall/More than two samples fall....outside the x chart control limits.

Suppose, in a country, the government decides to start redistributing income from rich households to poor households. The government considers two policy options:
Incentivize rich households to donate to the charity of their choosing — for example, the government could match each dollar the household donates to their charity.
Enact an income tax on high income households and directly redistribute the tax revenue to poor households.
Considering both efficiency and equity, provide a reason that (a) would be preferable to (b). Provide a reason that (b) would be preferable to (a). Explain.

1. Your company just paid a dividend of $4.0 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 5% next year and will then increase its dividend growth rate by 2% points per year ( from 5% to 7% to 9% to 11%) until it reaches the industry average of 11% dividend growth, after which the company will keep a constant growth rate forever. The required return on your company’s stock is 13.08%. What will a share of stock sell for today? ____(44)_____. What will a share of stock sell for in one year?_____(45)____.
