A square loop of wired with side length 2 cm is in the plane of the page. At time t= 0, a 9 T magnetic field is directed into the page. The field changes to 4 T directed into the page in 0.25 seconds.

What is the magnetic flux through the loop of wire at time, t = 0? What is the magnetic flux through the loop of wire 0.25 seconds later?What is the emf induced in the loop of wire during this time?If the resistance in the loop is 0.02 Ω, what is the induced current in the wire?Does the induced current in the wire flow clockwise or counterclockwise?

Suppose your father has spare cash of $3 million (he also owns a free-of-mortgage property) and he asks you, as a student of financial services, to give him some recommendations for asset allocation. Based on what you have learnt so far from this program, what are your suggestions to him (you may make any necessary assumptions) ? Justify your asset allocation decision. Having proposed an asset allocation strategy, explain under what circumstances will you recommend changes to the asset allocation you proposed.

1. A group of private investors borrowed $30,053,950million to build 300 new luxury apartments near a large university. The money was borrowed at 5% annual interest, and the loan is to be repaid in equal annual amounts over a 40-year period. Annual operating and maintenance expenses are estimated to be $5,202 per apartment. This expense will be incurred even if an apartment is vacant. The rental fee for each apartment will be $14,241 per year, and the worst case occupancy rate is projected to be 89%. Investigate the sensitivity of annual profit (or loss) to changes in annual operating and maintenance expense.

Your assignment is to develop an investment portfolio of common stocks and mutual funds for a person of your age (32) and current life situation(unemployed student) You are required to select 5 individual stocks and 5 mutual funds. You must justify your selections by doing some research and indicating why you chose the stocks and mutual funds in your portfolio.

Both Bond A and Bond B have 7.1 percent coupons and are priced at par value. Bond A has 8 years to maturity, while Bond B has 19 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percentage points, what is the difference in percentage changes in prices of Bond A and Bond B? (i.e., Bond A - Bond B). The bonds pay coupons twice a year. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Explain how to compare the payouts (lump-sum and annuity) and evaluate which is a better financial choice. Specifically, what discount rate equates the gross annual annuity payments to the present value of the lump sum cash option? What happens to the attractiveness of each option as the relevant discount rate changes? What do you see as a reasonable hurdle rate, i.e., an investment ‘hurdle rate’ whereby if you take the lump sum you can reliably expect to earn this return on your investment, then ending up with more money than the annuity option
