Suppose you have $30,000 to invest. You’re considering Miller-Moore Equine Enterprises (MMEE), which is currently selling for $50 per share. You notice that a put option with a $50 strike is available with a premium of $3.00. Calculate your percentage return on the put option for the six-month holding period if the stock price declines to $46 per share. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your 6-month return as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Assume the company has investments in debt securities. One is classified as a trading security and the other is classified as an available-for-sale security. Create a scenario where it is year end and the investments have changed in fair market value. Describe the scenario and explain how the financial statements would be affected. Be detailed and include numbers in the examples. Include any applicable journal entries.

1. Lancaster Real Estate Company was founded 25 years ago by the current CEO, Robert Lancaster. The company purchases real estate, including land and buildings, and rents the property to tenants. The company has shown a profit every year for the past 18 years, and the shareholders are satisfied with the company’s management. Prior to founding Lancaster Real Estate, Robert was the founder and CEO of a failed alpaca farming operation. The resulting bankruptcy made him extremely averse to debt financing. As a result, the company is entirely equity financed, with 8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock currently trades at $37.80 per share.

Lancaster is evaluating a plan to purchase a huge tract of land in the southeastern United States for $85 million. The land will subsequently be leased to tenant farmers. This purchase is expected to increase Lancaster’s annual pretax earnings by $14.125 million in perpetuity. Jennifer Weyand, the company’s new CFO, has been put in charge of the project. Jennifer has determined that the company’s current cost of capital is 10.2 percent. She feels that the company would be more valuable if it included debt in its capital structure, so she is evaluating whether the company should issue debt to entirely finance the project. Based on some conversations with investment banks, she thinks that the company can issue bonds at par value with a 6 percent coupon rate. From her analysis, she also believes that a capital structure in the range of 70 percent equity/30 percent debt would be optimal. If the company goes beyond 30 percent debt, its bonds would carry a lower rating and a much higher coupon because the possibility of financial distress and the associated costs would rise sharply. Lancaster has a 23 percent corporate tax rate (state and federal).

If Lancaster wishes to maximize its total market value, would you recommend that it issue debt or equity to finance the land purchase? Explain.

Exercise 5.1

Please provide code for both parts A and B.

PART A

Modify the P5_0.cpp program (located below) and use the predefined function pow to compute the a^b power. Here is the definition of the pow function:

double pow (double base, double exponent);

i.e. pow takes two parameters of type double, a and b and its value returned is of type double. You need to use pow in a statement like this:

p = pow(a,b)

Please note that in order to use the pow predefined function, you need to include the cmath directive, i.e. #include.

Call your new program ex51.cpp.

Imagine, you wanted to compute hundreds of these calculations in a program. Can you use a while loop in the program to do so?

PART B

Improve the program of exercise 5.1 by using a while loop that asks the user to input a and b (of any type), computes the pow(a, b)[i.e computes p = pow(a,b)] and displays the result. Call your new improved program ex52.cpp.

CODE: P5_0.cpp program

// P5_0.cpp This C++ program computes the value of a^b for three cases.
#include
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
      int i = 0;
      int a = 2, b = 4, p = 1;

      while(i < b) // computing 2^4
      {
             p = p * a;
             i++;
       }
       cout << a << " to the power of " << b << " is = " << p << endl;

      i = 0;
      p = 1;
      a = 3, b = 3;

      while(i < b) // computing 3^3
      {
             p = p * a;
             i++;
       }
       cout << a << " to the power of " << b << " is = " << p << endl;

      i = 0;
      p = 1;
      a = 5, b = 4;

      while(i < b) // computing 5^4
      {
             p = p * a;
             i++;
       }
       cout << a << " to the power of " << b << " is = " << p << endl;

       return 0;
}

Consider a system consisting of a cylinder with a movable piston containing 10⁶ gas molecules at 298 K at a volume of 1 L. Consider the following descriptions of this system:

A. Initial system as described above.

B. Starting from the initial system, the volume of the container is changed to 2 L and the temperature to 395 K.

C. Starting from the initial system, a combination reaction occurs at constant volume and temperature.

D. Starting from the initial system, the gas reacts completely to produce 10⁷ gas molecules at 395 K in a volume of 2 L.

Arrange the descriptions in order of increasing number of microstates in the resulting system. Explain the rationale for your ranking.

Is this ranking the same order as if you ranked the systems according to increasing entropy?

Frontier Thesis By Frederick Jackson Turner

1. Explain Turner’s comment that the frontier was a “meeting point between savagery and civilization”? Do you agree with his statement? Why or why not?

2. What did Turner mean by “European germs”? Hint: it does not have to do with spreading disease amongst the Indians.

3. Turner claimed that American Democracy changed as it ventured West. In fact, he saw American Democracy as wholly different from European Democracy thanks to the influence of the West. What do you think he meant by this?

4. Turner mentioned that the closing of the frontier was also the closing of the “first period of American history.” What do you think he meant by that and what period of America do you think came next?
