You will be paying $10,800 a year in tuition expenses at the end of the next two years. Bonds currently yield 9%.

a. What is the present value and duration of your obligation? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Present value" to 2 decimal places and "Duration" to 4 decimal places.)

b. What is the duration of a zero-coupon bond that would immunize your obligation and its future redemption value? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Duration" to 4 decimal places and "Future redemption value" to 2 decimal places.)

You buy a zero-coupon bond with value and duration equal to your obligation.

(Enter your answer as a positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Exercise 4:

Consider an Australian financial institution which has Swiss Franc denominated assets worth 50 million CHF and USD denominated liabilities worth 1 million USD. The past exchange rates in over the past 10 months are:

a) Measure the exposure: Calculate the value of the position in AUD.

b) Measure the sensitivity: Calculate the change (in AUD) in the CHF position for a 1% increase in the value of the Swiss Franc. Calculate the change (in AUD) in the USD position for a 1% increase in the value of the USD.

c) Calculate the past changes in the exchange rate in %.
d) Re-evaluate the portfolio position with the past changes in the exchange rate. e) Calculate the Value at Risk for the next month and α = 10%
f) Calculate the Value at Risk for the next month and α = 20%

A new drug called Xaelenfal is on the market. Xaelenfal is an AMPA receptor antagonist, meaning that it binds onto AMPA receptors without activating them and prevents glutamate from binding.

i. If I take the drug Xaelenfal, how will this effect EPSPs recorded in the postsynaptic neuron when an excitatory presynaptic neuron fires an action potential? (1 point)

ii. How will the drug Xaelenfal effect IPSPs in the postsynaptic neuron when an inhibitory presynaptic neuron fires an action potential? (1 point)

iii. In a normal brain, synapses can get stronger when a presynaptic cell repeatedly causes a postsynaptic cell to depolarize (we call this long-term potentiation, or LTP). Explain how long term potentiation works including the following details. (3 points)
- Name the neurotransmitter that is released by the presynaptic cell.
- Name the receptor that this neurotransmitter binds to on the postsynaptic cell to mediate normal excitatory transmission.
- What other receptors are involved and how do they get recruited?
- List one way in which the presynaptic neuron changes and one way in which the postsynaptic neuron changes during LTP.

iv. Given what you know about plasticity, could Xaelenfal effect the ability of synapses to potentiate. Explain your answer. (2 points)

What does Kohl’s 2015 10-K communicate about its stockholders’ equity?
Kohl’s Corporation (KSS) operates department stores in 49 states in the U.S. and has annual sales in excess of $18 billion. Its fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31 each year.

Programming Language : JAVA

Create an interface named Turner, with a single method called turn(). Then create 4 classes:

1- Leaf: that implements turn(), which changes the color of the Leaf object and returns true. If for any reason it is unable to change color, it should return false (you can come up with a reason for failure). The new color can be determined at random.

2- Document: that implements turn(), which changes the page on the document to the next page and returns true. If the current page is the last page of the document, then it returns false. This class should have a method called returnIdDate(), which returns a String containing the ID of the Document and the date it was published.

3- Pancake: that implements turn(), which flips the pancake if it has not flipped before and returns true. If the pancake has already been flipped, then it returns false.

4- Think of one more objects that can use turn(). Create the class and implement the turn() method. Show your creativity.

Write an application, DemoTurners, which:

1. Creates an array of 4 Turner objects and adds one object for each of the 4 class types to it.
2. Demonstrates polymorphism by calling the turn() method on each object in a loop.
3. Prints the Document object’s returnIdDate method using the Turner object (how can this be done?)
