Your $100 million bond portfolio has currently $90 million invested in bonds and the remainder invested in T bills. The duration of the bond component is 5.2 years. Assume that the T bond futures contract has a duration of 7.8 years and a value of $102,500 per contract
Q) How many futures contracts should be purchased or sold to change
your portfolio's duration to 6.0 years? and How many futures
contracts should be purchased or sold in order to make the
portfolio insensitive to changes in interest rates?

In Address Resolution Protocol: ARP it was stated that, in newer implementations, “repeat ARP queries about a timed out entry are first sent unicast”, in order to reduce broadcast traffic. Suppose host A uses ARP to retrieve B’s LAN address. A short time later, B changes its LAN address, either through a hardware swap or through software reconfiguration.
(a). What will happen if A now sends a unicast repeat ARP query for B?
(b). What will happen if A now sends a broadcast repeat ARP query for B?

The diameter of a cylinder follows a normal distribution with the mean of 10cm and the variance of 0.04 cm^2.
a) Construct a Shewhart chart to monitor the process mean of cylinder diameter with a sample size 9? (Use L=3)
b) If the mean of the process changes to 10.5 cm, what is the probability that you detect this mean shift at the immediate next sample (the first sample after the mean shift)?
c) Continue b), what is the probability of detecting this mean shift before plotting the 5th sample after the mean shift?

2(A) A 10-year bond has a face value of EUR1000 pays a 6% annual coupon rate. The required market yield is 6.5%. What is its convexity?
2(B) A 10-year bond has a face value of EUR1000 pays a 6% annual coupon rate and is traded at 102%. The market yield is 5.73%. What are its duration and convexity? If the required yield changes by +200 basis points, compare the actual bond price change with using duration and convexity rule to estimate the bond price change?

Consider the risk-free rate over your investment period was 6%, and the market's average return was 14% with a standard deviation of 20%. What was your Sharpe ratio?
What if you leverage your position? For example, what if you borrow USD 1,000 and invest USD 2,000 (USD 1,000 which you borrowed and USD 1,000 of your own money) in the market, what is your Sharpe ratio for this leveraged position?
Explain (or proof) how the Sharpe ratio changes if you leverage up your position.

Let the shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 20-minute oil-change facility is unknown. However, records indicate that the mean time is 21.6 minutes, and the standard deviation is 4.5 minutes. Round to four decimal points, as needed. Include Excel formulas. *
What is the probability that a random sample of 40 oil changes results in a sample mean time of less than 20 minutes? *
What is the mean time required to get an oil change when the probability that it takes longer than that time is 5%? *

Determine whether a probability model based on Bernoulli
trials can be used to investigate the situation. If not,
explain.
A company realizes that 5% of its pens are defective. In a package
of 30 pens, is it likely that more than 6 are defective? Assume
that pens in a package are independent of each other.
Group of answer choices
Yes
No. There are more than two possible outcomes.
No. 6 is more than 10% of 30
No, the chance of getting a defective pen changes depending on the pens that have already been selected.
No. The pens in a package are dependent on each other.
