Q1-Why are people worried more about federal budget deficits than environmental protection ( In the News " What Worries Americans")?

Q2- who paid for the Revolutionary War? did the deficit financing initiated by the Continental Congress pass the cost of the war on to future generations?

Q3- When are larger deficits desirable?

Demand for rug-cleaning machines at Clyde’s U-Rent-It is shown in the following table. Machines are rented by the day only. Profit on the rug cleaners is $18 per day. Clyde has 3 rug-cleaning machines.

  
a. Assuming that Clyde’s stocking decision is optimal, what is the implied range of excess cost per machine? (Enter smaller value in first box and larger value in second box. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Implied range of excess cost per machine from $  to $

b. Your answer from part a has been presented to Clyde, who protests that the amount is too low. Does this suggest an increase or a decrease in the number of rug machines he stocks?

• Increase

• Decrease

c. Suppose now that the $18 mentioned as profit is instead the excess cost per day for each machine and that the shortage cost is unknown. Assuming that the optimal number of machines is 3, what is the implied range of shortage cost per machine? (Enter smaller value in first box and larger value in second box. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Implied range of shortage cost per machine from $  to $  

How Laude? Many educational institutions award three levels of Latin honors often based on GPA. These are laude (with high praise), magna laude (with great praise), and summa laude (with highest praise). Requirements vary from school to school. Suppose the GPAs at State College are normally distributed with a mean of 2.95 and standard deviation of 0.43.

(a) Suppose State College awards the top 2% of students (based on GPA) with the summa laude honor. What GPA gets you this honor? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
? GPA or higher

(b) Suppose State College awards the top 10% of students (based on GPA) with the magna laude honor. What GPA gets you this honor? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
?? GPA or higher

(c) Suppose State College awards the top 20% of students (based on GPA) with the laude honor. What GPA gets you this honor? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
?? GPA or higher

In guinea pigs, black coat color is dominant over white, short hair is dominant over long, and rough coat is dominant over smooth. Show the Punnett Square for a cross between a homozygous black, short-haired, rough coat guinea pig and a homozygous white, long-haired, smooth coat guinea pig. What do the offspring look like?

How would you characterize Target’s organizational structure?

What is the composition of Target’s board of directors?

Problem 1: An organization is considering to generate forecast for April using exponential smoothing method (smoothing constant α =0.3) and the 2-period moving average technique. The actual sales are given in the table for January, February, March. The forecast for January using exponential smoothing method and the forecast for January and February using 2-period moving average technique are provided as well:

16. The forecast for April using exponential smoothing method with α =0.3 is 65.73

True

False

17. Using the 2-period moving average method, the forecast for March is 65 and the forecast for April is 75

True

False

18. If the actual sales of April is 45, the organization would prefer the exponential smoothing over the 2-period moving average technique according to MAD

True

False

19. The MSE for the 2-period moving average technique is 270.8 if the actual sales of April is 45

True

False

. What is the primary difference between UDP and TCP?

1. One is connection-oriented, one is connectionless
2. One uses checksums, one does not
3. One is used by a router, the other by a bridge
4. One is used by IP, the other is used by ICMP
5. They are identical

33. A router deals with which part of the IP address:

1. NIC
2. PORT
3. Host ID
4. Network ID

34. A hop in a TCP/IP network refers to:

1. Going through a bridge
2. Going through a router
3. Going through a NIC
4. Going through a web server

1.a) Briefly describe how the Efficient Frontier and the Capital Allocation Line (CAL) are determined. Include all steps and procedures.

1.b) The CAL has the following parameters: Risk-free rate is 3 percent, return on the optimal risky portfolio is 12 percent, with a standard deviation (SD) of 20 percent. What is your expected return if you limit your risk to a Standard Deviation of 10 percent?

1.c) How do you achieve a 35 percent return using the parameters above? Explain and show precisely how you would achieve the return and also calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio.

This is all the info I've been given. I need to draw the efficient frontier and capital allocation line and describe both.
