5. Consider a newlywed who is planning a wedding anniversary
gift of a trip to Dubai for her
husband at the end of 10 years. She will have enough to pay for the
trip if she invests $5,000
per year until that anniversary and plans to make her first $5,000
investment on their first
anniversary. Assume her investment earns an 8 percent interest
rate, how much will she have
saved for their trip if the interest is compounded in each of the
following ways?
a. Annually
b. Quarterly
c. Monthly
6. If you applied for a loan of $10,000 from two different banks,
and Bank Y makes an offer to
charge interest of 7% compounded monthly and Bank Z offers you 8%
annual interest due at the
end of the year. What will be the difference in the Effective
Interest Rate charged by the two
banks?
7. Your grandfather left an inheritance for you of $50,000. However
you can only drawdown on
the investment as follows:
Years 1 – 4 $10,000 and
Year 5 $40,000
Interest on the fund is 7.5%. What is the present worth of this
inheritance?
8. Your choice of vehicle is the Honda CRV, which you plan to
purchase in 5 years time after you
have completed your studies. You plan to save a certain sum of
money every quarter for the
next 5 years, and the bank offers you a rate of 8% per annum on
your savings. How much do
you need to save every quarter to meet the price of your vehicle
which is $150, 000.

Customer hires a contractor to tile 40 identical rooms in his office building. The customer purchased the tile and the contractor will be reimbursed for labor only. The contractor assumes he can complete one room per day at eight hours per day and at a cost of $1000/day or $1000 per room The planned cost is $40,000 and the planned duration is 40 days Current status At the end of 6 weeks (30 days).
The contractor has completed 24 rooms at a cost of 27,000. This includes a freak accident where the tiles for two offices had to be removed & replaced.

Create a two-part form that calculates weekly income for Happy Diner's waitress Tammy, based on her regular hours, overtime pay, and tips. She makes $10 an hour, if she works 40 hours a week, or less. Her overtime pay is $15 an hour. If Tammy worked over 40 hours, she is earning her overtime wages. Happy customers give her tips as well.
Use an HTML document named tipsYourlastname.html as a Web form with two text boxes — one for the number of hours worked and one for the tips. Use a PHP document named tipsyourlastname.php as the form handler. Output the total amount earned to the screen in some nice organized manner. Please comment your code appropriately and test your program with various input to ensure it operates correctly. Check your math as well.
Please remember that program has to work to get credit. This is a very small program, but you need to plan ahead and give yourself enough time for testing and debugging. Write a small piece of code at a time and test it before you add more code. Work incrementally.

Skills and self-esteem are believed to influence job performance. To investigate this, an experimenter split 14 recent parolees into "high skill and self-esteem" and "low skill and self-esteem" groups. Three months later, employers were asked to rate each parolee’s job performance on a standard test that gives ratings from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. The following ratings were obtained for the individuals in the two groups:
|
High skills and self-esteem |
Low skills and self-esteem |

a. Run descriptive statistics on the data. Please provide
measures of central tendency and variability for
the entire sample and also by groups.
b. Are there differences in job performance between the two groups? In your response, provide the answers to the following:
(i) The test you will run.
(ii) The null and research hypothesis.
(iii) The test results (copy the results to the word doc).
(iv) Your interpretation of the results.

You are the manager of a monopoly that sells a product to two groups of consumers in different parts of the country. Group 1’s elasticity of demand is -6, while group 2’s is -5. Your marginal cost of producing the product is $50. a. Determine your optimal markups and prices under third-degree price discrimination. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.
Markup for group 1:
Price for group 1: $
Markup for group 2:
Price for group 2: $
b. Which of the following are necessary conditions for third-degree price discrimination to enhance profits. Instructions: In order to receive full credit, you must make a selection for each option. For correct answer(s), click the box once to place a check mark. For incorrect answer(s), click twice to empty the box.
We are able to prevent resale between the groups.
There are two different groups with different (and identifiable) elasticities of demand.
At least one group has elasticity of demand less than one in absolute value.
At least one group has elasticity of demand greater than 1 in absolute value.

What is the NPV of this project? (in 000s)
Bogle is considering a two-year project to manufacture microchips. Bogle purchases equipment for $750K. This two-year project will require additional inventory of $125K and accounts payable of $150K, which reverse at the end of the project. Bogle’s tax rate is 50%, and its cost of capital is 12%.
Bogle estimates incremental revenue of $600K in years 1 and 2, and operating expenses equal to 15% of revenues. The machine is depreciated straight-line (i.e., 50% in year 1 and 50% in year 2).

My friend lost a bet with me and now owes me money. However, he is broke and will pay me in increments. $500 in two years, $400 in 4 years, and finally, $1000 in ten years, with an interest rate 3.2%. How much money did he bet today (present value)?
If you could, please show the formula and how you got the answer. The answer we are given is $1,551.92 and I'm confused on how to get there. Thanks!

Write a simple Python program that will generate two random between 1 and 6 ( 1 and 6 are included). If the sum of the number is grader or equal to 10 programs will display “ YOU WON!!!”. if the sum is less than 10, it will display “YOU LOST”. After this massage program will ask users a question: “if you want to play again enter Y. if you want to exit enter ‘N’) If the user enters Y they will continue to play and if they enter N the program terminates.
