LIN Ltd is a US-based retailer and it uses LIFO method for valuation of inventory. Following information is obtained from its inventory records for 2019:

You are require to answer the following (no calculations are necessary):

a) In light of US-GAAP, what are your key observations regarding cost of inventory balance and units sold?

b) What are the potential consequences of current inventory management on profitability and availability of inventory?

Theory tells us that the real interest rate equals the marginal product
of capital less the depreciation rate. Theory also tells us that the marginal
product of capital decreases when the capital-labor ratio increases. We know
from observation that the capital-labor ratio has been rising steadily for over a
century, but that the real interest rate and the depreciation rate have remained
relatively constant. How can all of these statements be correct? Explain.
Hint: One possible answer uses technological change in an important way.
Graphing the production function for different technology levels may be helpful.

Given the following information

n= 5 Σ X_t = 30 Σ Y_t = 172 Σ Y_t X_t = 980

Σ X²_t = 205 Σ Y²_t = 5162

Find the least squares estimates of α and β from

Y_t = α + βX_t + u_t

The sum of squared residuals is 45.2691. What does the SSR tell us in general?

Find the unbiased estimate of the variance of u_t. What does S² tell us in general?

Test H₀: β = 0 against H₁: β > 0 at the 5% level of significance.

Calculate the 95% confidence interval for β.

Calculate the R².

At a retail selling price of $2.5, Pepsi will be able to cover 15% of the approximately 1 billion units (20 oz. bottles) premium water market in US. If retailers charge a margin of 20% and if Pepsi’s unit variable cost in making and selling a bottle of LIFEWATR is $1, and Pepsi will incur a total fixed cost (in manufacturing, advertising, branding etc.) of $75 million, what is the profit that it can expect from the product? At $2, Pepsi will cover 20% of the premium water market in US. Do you think they should price the product at $2? Assume that there are no whole sellers between Pepsi and its retailers.

You are an investor in the US, thinking about investing 500.000 USD. Numbers say that the nominal interest rate for one year on USD assets is 2%, while in Norway the interest rate is 2,8%. Forecasts estimate that in Norway the inflation is going to be 2,1% during the next year, while in the US 1,1% inflation is expected. The USD/EUR exchange rate is 1,08. Market analysts say that during the next year the USD is expected to appreciate by 0,9% agains the EUR.

What is the reasonable choice with respect to investment? Which currency should be invested in? How can the profit from this situation be maximized?

Customer pet peeves about customer service. What are yours? Food not prepared properly at a restaurant? You need to return clothing or something else?

Discrete Math

Most important is c) and e) and f)

Statements with nested quantifiers: variables with different domains.

The domain for the first input variable to predicate T is a set of students at a university. The domain for the second input variable to predicate T is the set of Math classes offered at that university. The predicate T(x, y) indicates that student x has taken class y. Sam is a student at the university and Math 101 is one of the courses offered at the university. Give a logical expression for each sentence.

(b)

Every student has taken at least one math class.

(c)

Every student has taken at least one class other than Math 101.

(d)

There is a student who has taken every math class other than Math 101.

(e)

Everyone other than Sam has taken at least two different math classes.

(f)

Sam has taken exactly two math classes.
