An investor purchased the following five bonds. Each bond had a par value of $1,000 and a 11% yield to maturity on the purchase day. Immediately after the investor purchased them, interest rates fell, and each then had a new YTM of 5%. What is the percentage change in price for each bond after the decline in interest rates? Fill in the following table. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your monetary answers to the nearest cent and percentage answers to two decimal places.

Studies have shown that drawing a smiling face on a restaurant bill may increase the percentage of a tip left for food servers. A researcher turned the lab into a coffee shop. The participants were invited to the lab and served an express coffee, and then they received a bill with a smiling face or no smiling face from the server (a research assistant). In the end, they were asked to write the percentage of tip that they would like to leave for the server. The data showed that when a smiley face was drawn on the coffee bill, participants left a higher percentage of a tip than when the smiley face was not drawn on the bill.

Two types of intercompany stock purchases significantly complicate the consolidation process. The first occurs when the subsidiary issues added shares of stock in a public issue and the parent buys a portion of the shares. The second occurs when the subsidiary purchases outstanding shares of the parent company. Required: A- Discuss the current theoretical consolidation procedure for situations in which the parent buys a portion of the newly issued subsidiary shares that is (1) equal to its existing ownership percentage, (2) greater than its existing ownership percentage, and (3) less than its existing ownership percentage. B- Discuss the most widely supported, current theoretical consolidation procedures used when the subsidiary purchases outstanding common stock shares of the parent.

A) Body mass index (BMI) in children is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 24.5 and a standard deviation of 6.2. A BMI between 25 and 30 is considered overweight. What proportion of children are overweight? (Hint: p[25<x<30]. Answer in 0.0000 format, NOT in percentage format. Round to 4 decimal places)

B) If BMI larger than 30 is considered obese, what proportion of children are obese? (Answer in 0.0000 format, NOT in percentage format. Round to 4 decimal places).

C)Based on information provided in Question 42, in a random sample of 10 children, what is the probability that their mean BMI exceeds 25? (Hint: Central Limit Theorem. Answer in 0.0000 format, NOT in percentage format. Round to 4 decimal places)

A researcher conducts a study of white and black attitudes toward the police in her community.

The percentage of a random sample of white respondents (N = 200) who say they have a favorable attitude toward the police is 53%. The percentage of a random sample of black respondents (N = 200) who say they have a favorable attitude toward the police is 45%.

You are asked if there is a real difference between the percentage of whites and blacks who have a positive attitude toward the police in the larger population, or is this sample difference likely to have occurred by random chance or sampling error.

How do you respond? Explain your answer.

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Blacks in the population who have a favorable attitude toward the police

Your company plans to issue bonds later in the upcoming year. But with the economic uncertainty and varied interest rates, it is not clear how much money the company will receive when the bonds are issued. The company is committed to issuing 2,400 bonds, each of which will have a face value of $1,000, a stated interest rate of 10 percent paid annually, and a period to maturity of 10 years. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 

Required: 

.1. Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 10 percent. (When computing proceeds, round the present value of the face amount and of the annual interest payment to the nearest thousand dollars.) Also, express the bond issue price as a percentage by comparing the total proceeds to the total face value. (Round "Bond Issue Price as a Percentage" to 2 decimal places. )

2. Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 9 percent. (When computing proceeds, round the present value of the face amount and of the annual interest payment to the nearest thousand dollars.) Also, express the bond issue price as a percentage by comparing the total proceeds to the total face value. (Round "Bond Issue Price as a Percentage" to 2 decimal places.) 

3. Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 11 percent. (When computing proceeds, round the present value of the face amount and of the annual interest payment to the nearest thousand dollars.) Also, express the bond issue price as a percentage by comparing the total proceeds to the total face value. (Round "Bond Issue Price as a Percentage" to 2 decimal places.)

The company is considering a $65,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 6 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 10,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem.
