Professor,

In trying to apply my knowledge in the real world, I am trying to create a realistic retirement schedule. However, I am running into difficulties using both a financial calculator as well as our equations from class in doing this.

I am trying to do the following: plan a retirement schedule between the ages of 22 and 68, in which I would deposit 25% of my income each year. The income starts at 80,000 with an annual growth rate of 5% and, to be realistic, assuming an interest rate of 2.5%. I will assume for simplicity that I receive my first salary ($80,000) when I turn 22, and my last salary when I turn 68. As soon as I receive a salary, I will save 25% of it.

However, this raises issues, as if I try to use the equation for the present value of a growing annuity with a 5% growth rate and 2.5% discount rate, r-g will yield a negative number. Also, I could not find online how to do this on my HP 10bII+ financial calculator and I don't want to manually enter 47 payments.

Do you know how I could overcome this obstacle?

1. Briefly comment on Jimmy’s concern that “if I try to use the equation for the present value of a growing annuity with a 5% growth rate and 2.5% discount rate, r-g will yield a negative number”. (3 sentences at most)
2. How much will Jimmy have in his retirement account when he turns 68, immediately after the last deposit?
3. What single deposit made on Jimmy’s 22^nd birthday would give the same account balance when he turns 68?

Write a script to play two-dimensional Tic-Tac-Toe between two human players who alternate entering their moves on the same computer.

Use a 3-by-3 two-dimensional array. Each player indicates their moves by entering a pair of numbers representing the row and column indices of the square in which they want to place their mark, either an 'X' or an 'O'. When the first player moves, place an 'X' in the specified square. When the second player moves, place an 'O' in the specified square. Each move must be to an empty square. After each move, determine whether the game has been won and whether it’s a draw.

Using the Arizona Wuhan seafood market virus isolate, MN997409.1, run BLAST against the RefSeq Representative genomes (refseq_representative_genomes) database, limiting the search to Viruses (taxid: 10239) in the “Organism” field. From the hits returned, construct a phylogenetic tree (Distance tree of results). Examining the BLAST results and the Distance Tree select all that apply:

a)The non-Wuhan virus genome with the lowest E-value and highest identity is the SARS coronavirus

b)The distance tree suggests the Arizona virus is very different from the reference Wuhan seafood market virus isolate

c)The Distance tree suggests that the Wuhan viruses show similarity to a Bat coronavirus – BM48-31/BGR/2008

d)The White-eye corona virus show a significant hit, but with very low Query coverage
