Mariner Corporation, which manufactures sail boats, ordered dry dock equipment from Brown Corporation. This equipment was built for the specialized needs of Mariner, and could not be used by any other company. Instead of purchasing the equipment, Mariner elected to enter into a long term lease agreement with Brown Co. The lease contract was signed on January 1, 2020.   It calls for 12 payments of $15,000, with the first one due on December 31, 2020. The lessor’s implicit interest rate is not known. Mariner’s incremental borrow rate is 8%.

a. Is this lease a finance or operating lease? Explain.

b. Present the journal entry to be made by Mariner when the lease is signed.

c. Show the journal entry that Mariner will make for the December 31, 2020 payment.

1. Develop a well-structured MATLAB function to compute the Maclaurin series expansion

   for the cosine function and name the function cosMac. The function should have the following features:

   1. Iterate until the relative error (variable name “relErr” ) falls below a stopping criterion OR exceeds a maximum number of iterations (variable name“maxIter”) for a given value of x.

   2. Include a default value of relErr = 1e-6 if the user does not enter the value (use nargin function).

   3. Include a default value for maxIter = 100 if the user does not enter the value (use nargin function).

   4. Return the estimate of cos(x), the approximate relative error, the number of iterations, and the true relative error (that you can calculate based on the built- in cosine function).

A researcher wants to determine if there is a significant difference between the average fuel mileages for city and highway driving for the same model of cars. Use the EPA data below from a variety of 4-door sedans built in 2015 to determine if there is a difference between the city and highway fuel mileage for the same car models using α = 0.05. Round calculations to the nearest tenths.

what test should you perform for this and why?

QUESTION 3: A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of nine patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.7, 2.8, 3.0, 2.3, 2.3, 2.2, 2.8, 2.1 and 2.4.

a) Find the mean of the sample.

b) Find the standard deviation of the sample.

c) Find the median of the sample.

d) Based on the mean and the standard deviation in the sample, estimate the mean amount of time that the tranquilizer is effective in the whole population by constructing and interpreting a 90% confidence interval. (Assume the required conditions are held.) Here you don’t need to show how the interval is built. Just the interval and its interpretation.

1. Glycogen:

a.)  Is mainly broken down to glucose-1-P by glycogen synthase

b.)  Has branch chains that are attached at the branch points by alpha 1,4

glycosidic linkages

c.)  Built by glycogen phosphorylase when there is high ATP and high glucose-6-

P

d.)  Is an important storage form of glucose in our livers

e.)  Both a and c 

2. What effect will high fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and low ATP have on gluconeogenesis?

a.)  It will shut gluconeogenesis down at the step of triose phosphate isomerase

b.)  It will speed gluconeogenesis up at fructose-1,6-bisphosphate phosphatase

c.)  It will speed up gluconeogenesis by hyperactivating triose phosphate

isomerase

d.)  It will speed up gluconeogenesis by hyperactivating phosphofructokinase

e.)  Both b and d

Many families in California are using backyard structures for home offices, art studios, and hobby areas as well as for additional storage. Suppose that the mean price for a customized wooden, shingled backyard structure is . Assume that the standard deviation is .

a. What is the -score for a backyard structure costing (to 2 decimals)? If your answer is negative, enter minus (-) sign. b.

What is the -score for a backyard structure costing (to 2 decimals)?

c. Interpret the -scores in parts (a) and (b).

Comment on whether either should be considered an outlier. is standard deviations the mean. is standard deviations the mean.

d. If the cost for a backyard shed-office combination built in Albany, California, is , should this structure be considered an outlier? Explain. is (to 2 decimals) standard deviations the mean. This cost an outlier.

The intersection (∩) of two sets (s1, s2) is the set of all elements that are in s1 and are also in s2. Write a function (intersect) that takes two lists as input (you can assume they have no duplicate elements), and returns the intersection of those two sets (as a list) without using the in operator or any built-in functions, except for range() and len(). Write some code to test your function, as well.

Note: Do not use the in operator for this assignment. The keyword in used in for loops (e.g. for x in list) is allowed, as that is not the same as using the in operator. The following code, which uses the in operator, would not be permitted, since it makes this question too easy:

if elem in set2:
# do something

Sample Output for Part 1:

>>> intersect([1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25], [1,4,9,16,25]) [1, 9, 25]

As we said in class all models are built on assumptions:

1     Dividend payout ratio is 50% therefore, the retention rate is the remainder

2      All assets and noninterest bearing liabilities vary is the same proportion as sales

3       Use the following equation to find the additional funding needed (AFN):

.
