In 2018 and 2019, Health Canada commissioned two national surveys on the use of cannabis among people aged 20 to 24. They found 175 users out of the 1000 surveyed individuals in 2018 and 230 out of the 1100 sample in 2019.
(a) Test the hypothesis that there has been a change in the proportion of cannabis users in the 20-24 age
group population between 2018 and 2019. Use the critical value approach and a 0.05 level of
significance.
(b) Find the p-value for your result in (a) above.
(c) Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval for the true difference using the data provided.
(d) Explain how the p-value and the confidence interval are or are not consistent with your result in
part (a) above.

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 15% from $8.2 million in 2016 to $9.43 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $5 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 60%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Based on this model, if the original unlevered firm value is $100 million, the corporate tax rate is 20%, and the CFO is planning to carry out a leveraged recapitalization to add a permanent debt of $30 million. The interest rate for the debt is 6% for the coming year. The unlevered equity requires 10% annual return. What’s the levered firm value? What’s the value of levered equity?

A manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine or two. If only one is purchased and demand proves to be excessive, the second machine -can be purchased later. Some sales will be lost, however, because the lead time for producing this type of machine is 6 months. In addition, the cost per machine will be lower if both are purchased at the same time. The probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20. The after-tax net present value of the benefits from purchasing the two machines together is $90,000 if demand is low and $180,000 if demand is high.
If one machine is purchased and demand is low, the net present value is $120,000. If demand is high, the manager has three options. Doing nothing has a net present value of $120,000; subcontracting, $160,000; and buying the second machine, $140,000.

Suppose that you and two other students are working on a team research project for a course you are all taking. To complete the project, you expect that the three of you will need to work together on reviewing related literature for about two days. Then, you will divide the work into three parts: collecting financial data (5 days), writing the text of the paper (5 days), and preparing the figures and tables (2 days). Then the team will work together in assembling and editing the paper (5 days).
a. Assuming that none of the work can be done in parallel (i.e., collecting data must precede writing, which must precede preparing figures and tables), how many days will it take to complete your research project?
number of days ?
b. Ideally, the work would be best accomplished serially (as in question “a” above) so that all information created in one task is available for the processing of the next task. However, assuming for the moment that collecting data, writing text, and preparing figures and tables can be done in parallel (i.e., each task can be done by a different team member independently and simultaneously), how many days will it take to complete your research project?
number of days?

Aaron Beck noted at least ten ways that our thoughts can lead to additional stress. One of these is the concept of ‘All or nothing’ thinking, in which we look at things in absolute, black and white categories.
Can you think of an example of how this type of thinking can create stress, as well as how we can change these thoughts to reduce stress?

Write a C program without using if-else construct that does the following. It accepts a sequence of positive integers between 1 and 9 both inclusive from the keyboard. The program will stop accepting input once an integer outside the range is entered. The program will finish by printing the total number multiples of 3 and total number of even integers entered. Test data and expected output: Enter integers between 1 & 9 both inclusive, outside range to stop Enter integer :0 Total no of even integer entered is 0 Total no of multiples of 3 entered is 0 Enter integers between 1 & 9 both inclusive, outside range to stop Enter integer :2 Enter integer :4 Enter integer :6 Enter integer :9 Enter integer :3 Enter integer :1 Enter integer :2 Enter integer :0 Total no of even integer entered is 4 Total no of multiples of 3 entered is 3
