Hooper Printing Inc. has bonds outstanding with 9 years left to maturity. The bonds have an 8% annual coupon rate and were issued 1 year ago at their par value of $1,000. However, due to changes in interest rates, the bond's market price has fallen to $910.40. The capital gains yield last year was - 8.96%.

  1. What is the yield to maturity? Round your answer to two decimal places.

  2. For the coming year, what is the expected current yield? (Hint: Refer to Footnote 7 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1.) Round your answer to two decimal places.

  3. For the coming year, what is the expected capital gains yield? (Hint: Refer to Footnote 7 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1.) Round your answer to two decimal places.

  4. Will the actual realized yields be equal to the expected yields if interest rates change? If not, how will they differ?
    1. As rates change they will cause the end-of-year price to change and thus the realized capital gains yield to change. As a result, the realized return to investors will differ from the YTM.
    2. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors will differ from the YTM.
    3. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will not change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.
    4. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.
    5. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will not cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.

Part II – Joyce Snyder

After the high school group finishes their tour, Dr. Williams sees two patients.

Joyce Snyder is a biochemist working for a bio-warfare lab at a university. She is working on a project using sarin as a model substance. Suddenly, while working, the lab alarms go off and Joyce accidentally knocks a vial of sarin over and a bit of the liquid splashes onto her arm between her gloves and lab coat.

She suddenly starts to feel dizzy, her heart starts pounding harder than ever, and she has shortness of breath. She feels incredibly sluggish and tries to get to the exit. As she approaches the lab door, her muscles cramp and she falls down and hits her head, knocking her unconscious. Her colleagues from across the hall happen to see her fall and call for help. Joyce is given oxygen and taken to the nearby hospital.

Joyce is admitted to the hospital and Dr. Williams examines her. Joyce is unconscious but seems to be experiencing some paralysis, so Dr. Williams orders blood work. The results are listed in Table 1 below, the top line represents her initial readings; the following three rows are for subsequent time points. You must work with your team members to interpret all clinical values.

Dr. Williams looks over the results and knows from Joyce ’s colleague that she is a bioweapons biochemist. Dr. Williams figures out that Joyce has been working on synthesizing a new sarin-like biochemical weapon and suspects she has a type of poisoning that is like that of sarin.

3- Use FirstLastList: Write method public void join(FirstLastList SecondList) such that given two linked lists, join them together to give one. So if the lists lst1= [1,3,7,4] and lst2=[2,4,5,8,6], the result of lst1.join(lst2) is lst1=[1,3,7,4,2,4,5,8,6] and lst2=[].
4- Use FirstLastList: Write method public void swap(). It swaps the first and last elements of a FirstLastList. So if lst1= [1,3,7,4], lst1.swap() = [4,3,7,1]. Display or throw an exception if the list contains less than two elements.

set.seed(student_id)

Group1=round(rnorm(15,mean=10,sd=4),2)

Group2= round(rnorm(12,mean=7,sd=4),2)

For this question you are not allowed to use the lm() command in R or the equivalent of lm() in python or other software. If you want to use a software, only use it as a calculator. So if you are using R, you may only use mean(), sum(), qt() and of course +,-,*,/. (Similar restrictions for Python, excel or others).

Consider all the 27 numbers printed under Group1 and Group2 as your y values, and the two group indicators as a categorical variable x ( indicating Group1 vs Group2).

(a) Fit a least square regression line and calculate the intercept and the slope.

(b) At 5% level of significance, test that the true slope parameter is zero.

(c) Match your answer from part (b) to your answers from Question 2. Describe briefly any similarity that you see.

The administration at a university is interested in studying if any relationship exists between quality of academic experience at the school and whether the student is a major in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS major) or has a major in the College of Business (Business major). The school randomly surveys 10 seniors who are HSS students and 10 seniors who are Business students and asks them to rate the quality of their academic experience on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is extremely high and 1 is extremely low. Here are the data:

HSS Major Business Major
7 4
6 7
10 4
4 6
8 8
9 7
6 9
8 5
7 8
10 7

The HSS majors have a mean of 7.5 and a variance of 3.6, whereas the Business majors have a mean of 6.5 and a variance of 2.9.

Answer the following questions:

1. What is the null hypothesis? (1 point)

2. What is the research hypothesis? (1 point)

3. What is the dependent variable? (1 point)

4. Write out the results of an independent samples t-test using these data. In other words, provide the numerical answers: t-statistic, your critical value of t (or p-value), and degrees of freedom. (4 points)

5. Write a paragraph to explain the results of the hypothesis test using statistics from the problem with alpha=0.05. This should be two or more formal sentences to describe your findings and conclusions.

java programming

Create a class named Money. It should have member variables for
Member Variables
Store dollars and cents as members (both should be int). They should be
accessible from only inside the class.
Methods
 Write a default constructor that sets members to 0.
 Write a two-parameter constructor that sets members to the parameter
values.
 Write get/set methods for the member variables.

 Write an override method for toString. The returned string should be
formatted as a normal money string. For example, if dollars is 2 and cents is
5 then it should return $2.05. If dollars is 3 and cents is 50 then it should
return $3.50.
 Write an override method for equals. It should return true if both the
dollars and cents are equal and false otherwise. This means you compare
the dollars in the current to the dollars in the other and you compare the
cents in one to the cents in another.

Class – Main
The main method should be in this class.
 Declare an array of Money in main. The array should have 20 elements.
 Populate the array with data from a file. Use a loop to read data from the
input file. Use the input file data given at the end of this document.
 Write a loop that will print all elements of the array on screen. You should
have read all data from the input file before doing this.
 Write a loop that will add up all the money in the array and store the total
in another Money instance. After the loop print the total money on screen
using the Money instance that has the total. You should use toString to get
the formatted money string. The total money that gets print should not
have a cents value over 99. For example, 7 dollars and 160 cents should be
8 dollars and 60 cents. You should have read all data from the input file
before doing this.
 Add two calls to the Money equals override. One to demonstrate that the
instances are equal and another to demonstrate that they are not equal.
