Mr. Gomez has spent 8 months saving $ 1000 at the beginning of each fortnight, the interest rate being equal to 10% capitalizable biweekly. The day he will make the seventeenth deposit, Mr. Gomez finds out that the interest rate goes up to from that moment on to 11.5% capitalizable every fortnight and decides to increase the biweekly savings to $ 1300 as of that moment. Calculate the amount and interest earned after two years

do Democrats and Republicans agree or disagree with what should count towards our GDP (i. e.

True/False for the following:

1) Venture capitalists rely on preferred stock in a company to skew investment returns in their favor relative to the owners of the common stock, gain a disproportionate level of control of key decisions relative to the common shareholders and ensure that their interests are aligned with the founders.

2) When a subsequent round of financing takes place at a lower price per share than previous round of financing; existing shareholders would suffer from the dilution of their ownership stake. If the existing shareholders required a clause in the terms of their financing that would obligate the company to offer them additional shares when subsequent shares are issued at a lower price than the paid is an example of an anti-dilution clause.

3) A Drag-Along clause in a term sheet will address the rights of shareholders who control a majority of shares relative to shareholders who control a minority of shares.

4) Use the “YIELD” function in Excel to find the yield to maturity of a bond with the following characteristics. The yield to maturity on this bond is over 7%

Based on US mortality statistics, the probability that a 30-year old white female will die within the next year is 0.000642 (and so the probability of living another year is 1-0.000642 = 0.999358). What premium should a life insurance company charge to break even on a $500,000 one-year term insurance policy for a 30-year old white female? Please select the closest response.

"Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology
will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we'll augment
our intelligence." Ginni Rometty, former CEO of IBM

Discuss the term “Augmented Intelligence” and what it means for
introducing broadly the use of artificial intelligence capabilities in key
functions of the company (e.g. Marketing, Sales, R&D, IT, and Service).

Sandoz Nutrition Corporation is a subsidiary of the Swiss pharmaceutical giant, Sandoz Ltd. Sandoz, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, began manufacturing Optifast 70, a liquid meal-replacement weight loss program in 1976. The six month program is designed for people who are at least 30 percent or 50 pounds over their ideal weight. Health problems often accompany excessive weight. Optifast provides an opportunity to get rid of the weight fast.

The Optifast program is only available through doctors, hospitals, and medical clinics; a prescription is required to purchase the products. The Optifast program typically begins with the patient being placed on 420 to 800 calorie diet per day of liquid protein for 12 to 16 weeks. Calorie intake is then increased to 1000 or 1200 calories per day for the remainder of the program. The total cost is between $1400 and $2800. Optifast sales grew slowly following its introduction as the medical community and consumers became aware of the program. Sales continued to build slowly until mid November1988. Then Oprah Winfrey announced on her TV talk show that she had lost 67 pounds using Optifast. She appeared on the program in size 10 jeans to prove her point. Here was a celebrity endorsing Optifast without being asked for or paid! Within hours Sandoz received more than 200,000 phone inquires about the Optifast diet program.

The firm does not publish sales figures, but they forecasted a sales increase of from 25 to 30 percent during the six weeks following Oprah’s announcement. In 1989 Sandoz launched a print advertisement program, mostly in professional journals. Its promotional brochure and ad claims included: (1) “ The one that’s clinically proven safe and effective” and (2) “You can call the Optifast program today, and have all you need to control your weight for the rest of your life.” Unfortunately for Oprah, she regained 17 pounds during the first year after she completed the Optifast program. Studies at the University of Pennsylvania suggested that people who undertake quick weight loss programs such as liquid diets are likely to experience weight rebounds. Studies at the University of Michigan indicated that as many as 90 percent of dieters regain weight within five years after losing it. Liquid diets have also been linked with dizziness, headaches, nausea, gallbladder problems, and irregular heartbeat. Thus, there appears to be some difference between claims and use experience.
