Brandon is an analyst at a wealth management firm. One of his clients holds a $5,000 portfolio that consists of four stocks. The investment allocation in the portfolio along with the contribution of risk from each stock is given in the following table:

Brandon calculated the portfolio’s beta as 0.930 and the portfolio’s expected return as 9.1150%.

Brandon thinks it will be a good idea to reallocate the funds in his client’s portfolio. He recommends replacing Atteric Inc.’s shares with the same amount in additional shares of Transfer Fuels Co. The risk-free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%.

According to Brandon’s recommendation, assuming that the market is in equilibrium, how much will the portfolio’s required return change? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

1.1935 percentage points

0.7508 percentage points

0.9625 percentage points

1.1069 percentage points

Analysts’ estimates on expected returns from equity investments are based on several factors. These estimations also often include subjective and judgmental factors, because different analysts interpret data in different ways.

Suppose, based on the earnings consensus of stock analysts, Brandon expects a return of 9.65% from the portfolio with the new weights. Does he think that the required return as compared to expected returns is undervalued, overvalued, or fairly valued?

Overvalued

Fairly valued

Undervalued

Suppose instead of replacing Atteric Inc.’s stock with Transfer Fuels Co.’s stock, Brandon considers replacing Atteric Inc.’s stock with the equal dollar allocation to shares of Company X’s stock that has a higher beta than Atteric Inc. If everything else remains constant, the portfolio’s risk would ----- .

C#

What to submit:

One zip file named Ass3.zip

This zip must contain one VS 2017 solution named Ass3, which contains one C# Windows Forms App project also named Ass3 and the project contains a default form, Form1.cs and Program.cs.

No change should be made in Program.cs, but your Form1 must be designed and implemented to satisfy the following requirements.

**Do not submit only a single file of the solution or project. The whole solution folder of VS 2017 must be zipped and submitted for grading.

Requirements:

1. Use VS 2017 to create a C# Windows Forms App project whose solution and project are named Ass3. When all requirements below are finished and tested, zip the entire solution as Ass3.zip and upload it for grading.
2. Use the same Functional Requirement as described in Assignment 2 with the changes below.
3. Except the Form1 class given by Visual Studio, no other classes need to be defined. That is, the program you did in Assignment 2, including data and methods of the two classes should be "transplanted" in the Form1 class of this Ass3 project.
4. All input and output should be done within Form1 and visual controls (e.g., textboxes, labels, buttons, etc.) on the form. That is, no console is used--no more command line I/O and no display in the Command Prompt.
5. Specifically, the two initial integers and each guess should be entered in a corresponding textbox (i.e., three textboxes in total) and the error message "You must enter a number between ... and ...!" will be displayed by a label in red. A second label should be used to display in blue the hint "Higher...", "Lower...", and "You win!". Finally, let the ending message "----End of Game----" be displayed in the form title (in black since title color cannot be changed).
6. Set the font size of all visual controls to be 18 points.
7. Add a button showing 'Generate Secrete Number' to create a secrete number every time it is clicked. Because this button can be clicked at any time, there might be an error or hint displayed from the previous play, this button should also erase both labels to empty and reset the form title to 'Form1' when clicked.
8. To accept a guess, a second button showing 'Guess' should be added on the form. Each time when it is clicked, it first erases the labels from their previous display and then show the error and/or hint message, depending on the guess entered.
9. Place each visual control in Form1 so they look like the form shown in the demo program attached below.
10. Same as in Assignment 2, we assume there are always two valid input integers entered to define the range of the random secrete number, and an integer is always entered as the guess value. That means there is no need to validate all three input integers except the guess value could still be out of the range, which explains (in item 5 above) why an error message needs to be displayed.

Stack Variations-JAVA-self implemented

As discussed in the section, instead of having our stack methods throw exceptions in the case of "erroneous" invocations, we could have the stack methods handle the situation themselves. We define the following three "safe" methods:

-boolean safePush (T element) - pushes element onto the stack; returns true if element successfully pushed, false otherwise.

-boolean safePop () - removes the top element of the stack; returns true if element successfully popped, false otherwise.

- T safeTop() - if the stack is not empty returns the top element of the stack otherwise returns null.

a) Add these operations to the ArrayBoundedStack class.

//----------------------------------------------------------------
// ArrayBoundedStack.java by Dale/Joyce/Weems Chapter 2
//
// Implements StackInterface using an array to hold the
// stack elements.
//
// Two constructors are provided: one that creates an array of a
// default size and one that allows the calling program to
// specify the size.
//----------------------------------------------------------------

package ch02.stacks;

public class ArrayBoundedStack<T> implements StackInterface<T>
{
protected final int DEFCAP = 100; // default capacity
protected T[] elements; // holds stack elements
protected int topIndex = -1; // index of top element in stack

public ArrayBoundedStack()
{
elements = (T[]) new Object[DEFCAP];
}

public ArrayBoundedStack(int maxSize)
{
elements = (T[]) new Object[maxSize];
}

public void push(T element)
// Throws StackOverflowException if this stack is full,
// otherwise places element at the top of this stack.
{
if (isFull())
throw new StackOverflowException("Push attempted on a full stack.");
else
{
topIndex++;
elements[topIndex] = element;
}
}

public void pop()
// Throws StackUnderflowException if this stack is empty,
// otherwise removes top element from this stack.
{
if (isEmpty())
throw new StackUnderflowException("Pop attempted on an empty stack.");
else
{
elements[topIndex] = null;
topIndex--;
}
}

public T top()
// Throws StackUnderflowException if this stack is empty,
// otherwise returns top element of this stack.
{   
T topOfStack = null;
if (isEmpty())
throw new StackUnderflowException("Top attempted on an empty stack.");
else
topOfStack = elements[topIndex];
return topOfStack;
}

public boolean isEmpty()
// Returns true if this stack is empty, otherwise returns false.
{
return (topIndex == -1);
}

public boolean isFull()
// Returns true if this stack is full, otherwise returns false.
{
return (topIndex == (elements.length - 1));
}
}

Create a test driver application to demonstrate that the added code works correctly.

b) Add these operations to the ArrayListStack class.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// ArrayListStack.java by Dale/Joyce/Weems Chapter 2
//
// Implements an unbounded stack using an ArrayList.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------

package ch02.stacks;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class ArrayListStack<T> implements StackInterface<T>
{
protected ArrayList<T> elements; // ArrayList that holds stack elements

public ArrayListStack()
{
elements = new ArrayList<T>();
}

public void push(T element)   
// Places element at the top of this stack.
{
elements.add(element);
}

public void pop()   
// Throws StackUnderflowException if this stack is empty,
// otherwise removes top element from this stack.
{
if (isEmpty())
throw new StackUnderflowException("Pop attempted on an empty stack.");
else
elements.remove(elements.size() - 1);
}

public T top()   
// Throws StackUnderflowException if this stack is empty,
// otherwise returns top element of this stack.
{
T topOfStack = null;
if (isEmpty())
throw new StackUnderflowException("Top attempted on an empty stack.");
else
topOfStack = elements.get(elements.size() - 1);
return topOfStack;
}

public boolean isEmpty()   
// Returns true if this stack is empty, otherwise returns false.
{
return (elements.size() == 0);
}
  
public boolean isFull()
// Returns false - an ArrayList stack is never full.
{
return false;
}

}

Create a test driver application to demonstrate that the added code works correctly.

c) Add these operations to the LinkedStack class.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// LinkedStack.java by Dale/Joyce/Weems Chapter 2
//
// Implements StackInterface using a linked list to hold the elements.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

package ch02.stacks;

import support.LLNode;

public class LinkedStack<T> implements StackInterface<T>
{
protected LLNode<T> top; // reference to the top of this stack

public LinkedStack()
{
top = null;
}

public void push(T element)
// Places element at the top of this stack.
{
LLNode<T> newNode = new LLNode<T>(element);
newNode.setLink(top);
top = newNode;
}   

public void pop()
// Throws StackUnderflowException if this stack is empty,
// otherwise removes top element from this stack.
{
if (isEmpty())
throw new StackUnderflowException("Pop attempted on an empty stack.");
else
top = top.getLink();
}

public T top()
// Throws StackUnderflowException if this stack is empty,
// otherwise returns top element of this stack.
{   
if (isEmpty())
throw new StackUnderflowException("Top attempted on an empty stack.");
else
return top.getInfo();
}

public boolean isEmpty()
// Returns true if this stack is empty, otherwise returns false.
{
return (top == null);
}

public boolean isFull()
// Returns false - a linked stack is never full
{
return false;
}

}

Create a C++ program which will accept an unlimited number of scores
and calculates the average score. You will also need to prompt for the
total points possible. Assume each test is worth 100 points.

Requirements.

• Enter the Student ID first, then prompt for grades. Keep prompt-
ing for grades until the client enters ’calc’. That triggers final pro-
cessing.

• Make your code as reliable as possible.
• Make your program output easy to read.
• You cannot use anything from the standard template library.
• Use functions whenever possible to modularize your code. Use
function prototypes and code the functions under the main().
• Style guide elements apply comments, layout, Program Greeting,
Source File Header, and variables, etc. etc.
