Mahesh graduated from college six years ago with a finance
undergraduate degree. Although he is
satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become a banker. He
feels that MBA degree would allow
him to achieve this goal. After examining business schools, he has
narrowed his choice to Kathmandu
University, school of management, one of the renowned University in
Nepal. Although internships are
encouraged by the school, to get class credit for the internship,
no salary can be paid. Other than
internship, neither school will allow its students to work while
enrolled in its MBA program. Assume
it is now January 1, 2020 and he is planning to accumulate Rs
710,000 including college fees and other
stationery expenses for an MBA in January 2025. Today he is
thinking for a deposit in a bank that pays
11 per cent nominal interest rate. The source of income that he
received quarterly from his current job
is Rs 65,000. Out of his quarterly income he spends 65 per cent
amount for his living. His mother has
also deposited Rs 200,000 in his account to facilitate his MBA
degree. In order to attain his goal, you
are required to answer the following: [1+2+2+2+1+2=10]
a. How much must he deposit in lump sum on January 1, 2020 to
accumulate a university fees along
with stationery expenses of Rs 710,000 on January 1, 2025?
b. If Mahesh wants to make equal installments on each January 1
from 2021 through 2025, how large
must each payment be?
c. If he wants to invest his quarterly salary net saving in the
bank, the first payment being made at the
end of first quarter from now, how much he could accumulate in
January 1, 2025? Assuming that
interest is compounded on quarterly basis.
d. What is the effective annual rate if interest is compounded
monthly? Explain the difference
between annual percentage rate and effective annual rate.
e. If his bank balance of Rs 200,000 today pays 9 per cent annual
interest compounded monthly, to
which value it will grow on January 1, 2025?
f. A dollar in hand today is worth more than a dollar to receive
next year. Give your arguments.

Description: In April 2020, the Toyota-backed startup Pony.ai has teamed up with the online Asian ecommerce site Yamibuy3 to delivery packages and groceries in Irvine, California due to Covid-19. Read the news story published by Bloomberg4 and visit the Pony.ai website5 to acquire background information. You may explore more information from other pieces of news and video clips. Now assumed that customers purchased groceries in the online website, they would like to use Pony.ai app for a home delivery. You are asked to develop diagrams to capture the main features of such autonomous delivery service. Remember, online shopping and checkout are not integral part of your application, but only autonomous delivery service (PonyPilot6 ). Tasks: Develop the following diagrams to capture the autonomous delivery service. You may make any assumptions as necessary since the PonyPilot app is not readily available to everyone (invitation only). 1. Use case diagram (focus on delivery service) 2. Sequence diagram (focus on delivery service) 3. ERD diagram to store necessary data (focus on delivery service)

Using Python in vs code:
The distribution of letters in a document has a distinctive and predictable shape, as shown in the following figure. This distribution could be effective information to break a cipher. Write a program that reads an input file, and outputs the count or frequency of all 26 letters to an output file: count.dat. Case sensitivity is not considered, i.e., ‘a’ is treated as the same as ‘A’. Test file is “independence.txt”. In the output file, you don’t need to draw a histogram and a frequency output as in Question 5 is sufficient. A screenshot of the content of this output file should be provided.
please include screenshots of your outputs.

In a large accounting firm, the proportion of accountants with MBA degrees and at least five years of professional experience is 70% as large as the proportion of accountants with no MBA degree and less than five years of professional experience. Furthermore, 20% of the accountants in this firm have MBA degrees, and 26% have fewer than five years of professional experience. If one of the firm’s accountants is selected at random, what is the probability that this accountant has no MBA degree AND less than five years of professional experience?

a. Assuming that the population is approximately bell-shaped and symmetric, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean annual consumption of alcoholic beverages by young women in the United States. What is the margin of error?
b. Now, construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean annual consumption of alcoholic beverages by young women in the United States. What happens to the margin of error when we change the confidence level from 95% to 99%?

Long-Term Care Today
Demographics and epidemiological transitions result in dramatic changes in the health needs of individuals throughout the globe. In recent times, there has been increase in the prevalence of long-term disability in the population—causing increasing need for long-term care services. In addition, the present developing world is experiencing an increase in the demand for long-term care services at a cost much lower than industrialized countries.
· Who are the institutional and non-institutional caregivers in both the countries? Support your answer with relevant examples. Explain the factors that affect care giving in each country.
· Is there any difference in the status of quality of care of the elderly consumers in the United States as compared to the developing country?
· Is there any difference in the health care cost provided in the United States as compared to the developing country? Define any social support that may exist to cover health care in both countries.

2. Suppose that BioNTech discovers a vaccine that cures a disease. BioNTech has laboratories in both the United States and Germany and can manufacture the vaccine on both countries with the following total cost function:
?(?) = 10?
where ? = ?1 + ?2. In Germany and the United States, the demand functions for the vaccine are ?1 = 70 − ?1 (Germany) ?2 = 110 − ?2 (The United States)
a) If the firm can practice third-degree price discrimination, what price should it set on each country to maximize its profit? How many vaccines will it sell in each country? What will be its maximum profit under the third-degree price discrimination?
b) Assume now that practicing third-degree price discrimination is illegal in both countries. So, the firm can charge only a single price (? ?) on both countries. Calculate its profit-maximizing price-quantity combination and the maximum profit.
c)Calculate the deadweight loss under the third-degree price discrimination.
