Assume that stock market returns have the market index as a common factor, and that all stocks in the economy have a beta of 2.0 on the market index. Firm-specific returns all have a standard deviation of 32%.

Suppose that an analyst studies 20 stocks and finds that one-half of them have an alpha of +3.0%, and the other half have an alpha of −3.0%. Suppose the analyst invests $1.0 million in an equally weighted portfolio of the positive alpha stocks, and shorts $1 million of an equally weighted portfolio of the negative alpha stocks.

a. What is the expected profit (in dollars) and standard deviation of the analyst’s profit? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

b. How does your answer change if the analyst examines 50 stocks instead of 20 stocks? 100 stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Market Value Capital Structure

Suppose the Schoof Company has this book value balance sheet:

The notes payable are to banks, and the interest rate on this debt is 11%, the same as the rate on new bank loans. These bank loans are not used for seasonal financing but instead are part of the company's permanent capital structure. The long-term debt consists of 30,000 bonds, each with a par value of $1,000, an annual coupon interest rate of 7%, and a 25-year maturity. The going rate of interest on new long-term debt, r_d, is 10%, and this is the present yield to maturity on the bonds. The common stock sells at a price of $50 per share. Calculate the firm's market value capital structure. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

C Program: create a mini calculator with the following usage (using getopt to parse the command line arguments)

Usage: minicalc [-a num] [-m num] [-x] value

1. The variable value is the starting value.
2. Value should be validated to be an integer between 1 and 50 inclusive. Error message and usage shown if not.
3. For the -m option num should be a positive integer between 1 and 10 inclusive.
4. For the -a option num should be a positive integer between 1 and 500 inclusive.
5. -a adds num to value. -m multiplies value by num. -x squares value. (Note: no num is needed.)
6. Output should have exactly 2 decimal places no matter what the starting values are.
7. If -x is included, it is executed first. If -m is included it would be next. The -a would be executed last.
8. There will be at most one of each option, if there are more than one you can use either of the options in the calculation.
9. There should be no user input while the program is running. It runs in full from the command line.

A bank with a branch located in a commercial district of a city has the business objective of developing an improved process for serving customers during the noon-to-1 P.M. lunch period. Management decides to first study the waiting time in the current process. The waiting time is defined as the number of minutes that elapses from when the customer enters the line until he or she reaches the teller window. Data are collected from a random sample of 15 customers and stored in Bank1. These data are:

Suppose that another branch, located in a residential area, is also concerned with improving the process of serving customers in the noon-to-1 p.m. lunch period. Data are collected from a random sample of 15 customers and stored in Bank2. These data are:

• a. Assuming that the population variances from both banks are equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean waiting time between the two branches? (Use α=0.05.α=0.05. alpha equals , 0.05.)

• b. Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.

• c. In addition to equal variances, what other assumption is necessary in (a)?

• d. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population means in the two branches.

During this course you will design a program for a state university. The university needs a website design that will enable students to order books online. Each week you will receive additional instructions for the elements of the design based on the needs of the university. The elements will correspond with the concepts and skills you learn that week.

According to the university's website design request, students need to order five books, one for each of the five required courses that all students take. You need to design a program that will prompt students for the price of each book and display the total cost for the five books.

Create a 1- to 1 3/4-page document listing the steps needed to solve the problem using an algorithm, including the following:

• Identify the input needed
• Define what the input must do (i.e., the process)
• Show what the output must produce

Create a 1/2- to 1-page document of your pseudocode based on the algorithm, including the following:

• Write the pseudocode statement(s) for the input
• Write the pseudocode statement(s) for the process
• Write the pseudocode statement(s) for the output

Create a 1-page flowchart based on the algorithm, including the following:

• Mark the program's starting point
• Represent the input steps in the program
• Represent the process steps in the program
• Represent the output steps in the program
• Mark the program's ending point

Using Java:

Create a class that will hold the information about a clock, called Clock. You need to keep minutes, hours and seconds in military time (24-hour) format. Include member functions that will setTime ( this will set the hours, minutes and seconds of the clock), getHours (return the hours), getMinutes (return the minutes) and getSeconds (return the seconds). Another method printTime which will print the time out like this 03:13:09 (hours:minutes:seconds). Overloaded constructors that will take in hours, minutes and seconds or the default constructor that will take in nothing and set hours, minutes and seconds all to 0.

Your class should also include the following methods

incrementSeconds() //A method to increment the time by one second. //The time is incremented by one second. // If the before-increment time is // 23:59:59, the time is reset to 00:00:00.

incrementMinutes() //A method to increment the time by one minute. // The time is incremented by one minute. // If the before-increment time is // 23:59:53, the time is reset to 00:00:53.

incrementHours() //A method to increment the time by one hour. // The time is incremented by one hour. // If the before-increment time is // 23:45:53, the time is reset to 00:45:53.

Show possible calls to do the following

Create a clock that is set to 9:0:0

Create another clock that is set to 9:30:20

Add one hour to the first clock

Add 30 minutes to the second clock

Using your clock class, create a child class, ClockChild. Create a constructor that calls the parent’s default constructor and an overloaded constructor that takes in hours, minutes and seconds and sets the member variables accordingly. Create a printTime method, for the child. Now it will take in a parameter called typeOfClock. This will be an integer that will be either 12 or 24. This tell the function how to print the time, either in military time (the parents type, call the parent method) or in normal type (12-hour) 11:30pm or 9:09am.

Show calls to instantiate two objects. One of the parent type, with the time set to 23:30:30 and one of the child type with the same time set. Show a call to printTime, using both objects.

West Fraser Timber Company (WFT) is expected to have free cash flow in the coming year of $2 million and its free cash flow is expected maintain at a sustainable growth rate of 4% per year. It has a debt worth $10 million. It’s equity cost of capital is 12%, cost of debt before tax is 6%, and it pays a corporate tax rate of 30%. If WFT Company maintains a debt-equity ratio of 0.5 and the company has 3 million common shares outstanding, what is the fair value of WFT stock?

What is legal paternalism and give me an example of legal paternalism with regards to our government’s reaction to the coronavirus? Do you think that your example of legal paternalism is justified? Are the quarantine orders or orders to stay at home given by several states and local governments an example of legal paternalism (do not use this as your example). Assuming it is legal paternalism, is it justified? Does it violate any of our legal rights or human rights?

(using C in a Linux environment and the POSIX pthreads library)

Write a program named Sort.c that accepts a list of numbers from the user. There are two threads: Main thread waits for the numbers to be entered by the user and for the second thread to finish sorting. It then asks user whether there are more lists or not. It will do this until the user indicates there are no more lists to be entered, at which point it will wait for the second thread to be finished sorting and then exits the program. Sorting and display thread waits for the user to be finished inputting the numbers from the list, and then will sort and print the numbers. It will do this each time the user enters the number (depending on if the main thread is told to continue accepting more numbers from the user).

*Edit* I'm not sure how much more clear it can be, as last "Expert" could not answer.

A C-program with two threads:

First thread asks user to enter 5 numbers and stores them in an array.

Second thread sorts the 5 numbers (the first thread at this point is "waiting" for the second thread to finish) and then prints the 5 numbers in order from least to greatest. Then it asks the user if they have more numbers to enter.

If yes, thread one is ran (asking the user for the 5 numbers), saves the 5 numbers in an array. Then the first thread again waits while the second thread sorts and prints the numbers in order. This loop continues until the user no longer wishes to enter a list of numbers.
