For C code: Do not use any function other than getchar, scanf, and printf

Q2.A) Write a program to do the following: Read in two values into variables X   and y from the keyboard (they may be decimal values like 2.3). Read in a 3rd value (which is really small < 1.0 ) into variable E. Using a loop find out the value of N in the below expression. i.e. Each iteration of the loop reduced the value of Y by dividing it by 2. Print out N at the end when the condition is met. For most input X and Y values the condition may not become true and the loop would become an infinite loop. To break from such "traps", you can have a loop count and break away. i.e. Count how many iterations it has run through the loop body, and if it goes over some number, say 100, just use "break" after saying "there is no solution for the given numbers" which should end the program.  

Note: This program conveys the convergence vs divergence in numerical methods.

(a) Let X = 1.02 Y = 8.1, E = 0.05. In each iteration Y/2N values become 8.1, 4.05, 2.025, 1.0125, and stops since X - 1.0125 is 0.0075 which is < E. This starting Y value converges toward a solution.

(b) If X = 1.02 and Y = 9.5, then it would not converge to a solution to meet the criterion, but diverges away. Y/2N value become 4.75, 2.375, 1.1875, 0.59375, 0.2968,goes to 0, but difference goes up.

Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 seconds). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table.

Delay Before Recall
0 0.5 1
6 5 7
13 2 2
10 10 5
7 5 5
8 8 4
10 6 1

(a) Complete the F-table. (Round your values for MS and F to two decimal places.)

(b) Compute Tukey's HSD post hoc test and interpret the results. (Assume alpha equal to 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

The critical value is_______ for each pairwise comparison.


Which of the comparisons had significant differences? (Select all that apply.)

A.) The null hypothesis of no difference should be retained because none of the pairwise comparisons demonstrate a significant difference.

B.) Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a half second delay.

C.) Recall following a half second delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.

D.) Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.

Ghost, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $185,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $29,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 30 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 40 percent lower. The company is considering a $65,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 7 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 7,400 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for questions a and b. Assume the company has a market-to-book ratio of 1.0 and the stock price remains constant.

The company is considering the introduction of a new product that is expected to reach sales of $10 million in its first full year and $13 million of sales in the second and third years. Thereafter, annual sales are expected to decline to two-thirds of peak annual sales in the fourth year and one-third of peak sales in the fifth year. No more sales are expected after the fifth year. The CGS is about 60% of the sales revenues in each year. The GS&A expenses are about 23.5% of the sales revenue. Tax on profits is to be paid at a 40% rate. A capital investment of $0.5 million is needed to acquire production equipment. No salvage value is expected at the end of its five-year useful life. This investment is to be fully depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. In addition, working capital is needed to support the expected sales in an amount equal to 27% of the sales revenue. This working capital investment must be made at the beginning of each year to build up the needed inventory and implement the planned sales program. Furthermore, during the first year of sales activity, a one-time product introductory expense of $200,000 is incurred. Approximately $1.0 million has already been spent promoting and test marketing the new product.

a. Formulate a multiyear income statement to estimate the cash flows throughout its five-year life cycle.

b. Assuming a 20% discount rate, what is the new product’s NPV?

c. Should the company introduce the new product?

You are evaluating the performance of two portfolio managers, and you have gathered annual return data for the past decade:

Year Manager X Return (%) Manager Y Return (%)
1 -2.5 -4.0
2 -2.5 -3.0
3 -2.5 -2.5
4 -0.5 3.5
5 0.0 5.5
6 2.0 6.5
7 6.5 7.5
8 10.0 8.5
9 13.5 9.5
10 19.5 12.0
  1. For each manager, calculate (1) the average annual return, (2) the standard deviation of returns, and (3) the semi-deviation of returns. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
    Average annual return Standard deviation of returns Semi-deviation of returns
    Manager X 4.35 % 7.74% ? %
    Manager Y 4.35% 5.67% ? %
  2. Assuming that the average annual risk-free rate during the 10-year sample period was 1.0%, calculate the Sharpe ratio for each portfolio. Based on these computations, which manager appears to have performed the best? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to three decimal places.

    Sharpe ratio (Manager X): 0.433

    Sharpe ratio (Manager Y): 0.591

  3. Calculate the Sortino ratio for each portfolio, using the average risk-free rate as the minimum acceptable return threshold. Based on these computations, which manager appears to have performed the best? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to three decimal places.
    1. Sortino ratio (Manager X): ?
    2. Sortino ratio (Manager Y): ?
