The market portfolio has expected return of 12% and risk of 19%, and the risk free rate is 5%. According to the capital market line (the line that connects the risk free rate to efficient frontier), what is the portfolio weight for the risky market portfolio if an investor wants to achieve 8.5% return? What about 16.2%? And 19% return?

What are some ways to improve health literacy in the healthcare setting?

Explain each point.

What is rent-seeking? What are some of the effects of rent-seeking on an economy? Is rent- seeking thought to be efficiency increasing or reducing?

6.2     Complete the following table. Assume that the real interest rate is 3% per year, and inflation is expected to be constant at 2% per year. Recall that nominal cash flows must be discounted using nominal rates, and real cash flows must be discounted using real rates.                                                      

Note that present values are taken at time 0, at which point real cash flows and nominal cash flows are the same, because there is no time for inflation to affect the cash flows.

This implies that the present values of the two series of cash flows should be exactly the same.

Hint: You may want to recall the $1 chocolate bar example from question 5.2 to assist you with calculating the real cash flows.

Note that you can use the CF function of the Texas Instruments BA II Plus calculator (similar on the HP 10BII series and Sharp EL738 series financial calculators) to calculate the NPV of these cash flows. See your user’s manual or a YouTube video to learn how to use this function.

1. Explain how liminality, cultural chasm and white supremacy are inter-related.

2. Start to connect with the reading. Use ONE example of your read material and connect it to one of the term. How is the term being described in the reading. You can't use bell hooks and cultural chasm because I already provided you an example in the online lecture. BUT you can use another one from hooks' essay if you find it.

3. Start thinking of experiential factors that contribute to the liminal state of Judith Ortiz Cofer and bell hooks. Identify 1 for EACH of the authors. Demonstrate that you read.

Use the following information on Filmore Corporation to calculate its WACC. 10,000 bonds with face value of $1,000 matures in 5 years, has 8% coupon rate, pays coupons semiannually, and currently sells for $1,050. 1,000,000 common shares sell for $40 per share. The dividend next year will be $2, and dividends are expected to grow at 6% constantly. It has no preferred stock. Its tax rate is 35%. What is Filmore Corporation's WACC? show the steps

What is the effect on the public sector during a boom period? (surpluses increase/decrease? Deficits increase/decrease?)

1. One of your friends has an awful writing style: he almost never starts a message with a capital letter, but adds uppercase letters in random places throughout the message. It makes chatting with him very difficult for you, so you decided to write a plugin that will change each message received from your friend into a more readable form.

Implement a function that will change the very first symbol of the given message to uppercase, and make all the other letters lowercase.

2. Implement a function that will compute the area of a triangle.

You have been assigned to a development team that is building software that will be used to control the operations of a bicycle rental store. A rental store has a limited number of vehicles that can be managed. A bicycle rental store must maintain information about how many vehicles are available for rental. The bicycle rental store must provide publicly available methods to allow vehicles to be added and removed from it. The rental store should also provide publicly available methods that reports its capacity. An attempt to add or remove the vehicle other than it’s capacity should print the message letting user know that he/she can’t add or delete the vehicle (Hint: use “if” condition to check the number of vehicles. They shouldn’t be more that 5/5 each to add and less than 1 to delete). At the moment there are two distinct types of vehicles: bicycle and quadricycle (four-wheel bicycle). Every vehicle has a company code, a fun name, number of wheels and a rental price. The bicycle has two wheels whereas quadricycle has four. Define the Java classes that are required to implement the functionality that is described above. Be sure to use object-oriented principles in your Java code. Hints • Vehicle class, Bicycle class, Quadricycle class, RentalStore class. • Bicycle class and Quadricycle class inherits extends from Vehicle class • RentalStore class will have methods to show the total number of vehicles, add/delete Bicycle and add/delete Quadricycle • Rental class should have ArrayList • In general every class should have attributes, constructor and it’s methods. • Besides RentalStore class, all other classes should have toString() method . • Create TestClass that have Main() method. Bicycles: company code 0001, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 150 company code 0002, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 110 company code 0003, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 50 company code 0004, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 250 company code 0005, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 90 quadricycle : company code 0011, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 250 company code 0012, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 110 company code 0013, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 210 company code 0014, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 210 company code 0015, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 190 For this scenario, we will have 5 bicycles and 5 quadricycles (total of 10 vehicles). Add all those vehicles to an ArrayList. Find bicycles with price less than $100 and delete all of them. Find quadricycles with price less than $200 and delete all of them. At last, show to total number of remaining vehicles with their details.

According to Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding (3rd ed.), describe a time when your sympathetic nervous system kicked into gear and you experienced the fight-or-flight reaction. What did it feel like? “The Autonomic Nervous System” in Unit 2 of the textbook, pages105 - 106

(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below.

The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.


A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant.


The rate of a fast step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a slow step.


Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase.


Slow reactions can be speeded up by raising the temperature.


Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have small rate constants.


Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase.
