Huang Industries is considering a proposed project whose estimated NPV is $12 million. This estimate assumes that economic conditions will be "average." However, the CFO realizes that conditions could be better or worse, so she performed a scenario analysis and obtained these results: Economic Scenario Probability of Outcome NPV Recession 0.05 ($72 million) Below average 0.20 (24 million) Average 0.50 12 million Above average 0.20 14 million Вoom 0.05 38 million Calculate the project's expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. Enter your answers for the project's expected NPV and standard deviation in millions. For example, an answer of $13,000,000 should be entered as 13. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. E(NPV): million ONPV: million CV:

Match the description on the right with the correct term on the left regarding types of forecasting methods. 1. Econometric, input-output, and simulation are techniques used with this type of forecasting method, which assumes that the variable to be forecasted is related to one or more intrinsic variables. Causal Methods 2. The Delphi technique, market surveys, and life-cycles analogy are techniques used with this type of forecasting method, which relies on the judgment of individuals or Qualitative Methods Time-Series Methods groups. 3. Moving averages and exponential smoothing are techniques used with this type of forecasting method, which assumes that time is the only important variable.
Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.2 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014). d. Write an equation that represents the linear model for streaming videos. Let S = the total sales of streaming videos in billions of dollars, and t = the number of years after 2009. e. In what year do the models predict streaming video sales to exceed DVD sales?
Discuss two extensions to the original GARCH (p,q) model and explain additional characteristics of financial data they might be able to capture.
Based on predictive modeling, this upcoming Winter is going to have very unpredictable weather. The National Weather service is considering abolishing specific long-term forecasts, and instead will utilize a statistical model that predicts a mean of six significant snowfalls per month. Use this information to answer the following question correctly: Trying to be forward-thinking, I'm going to try planning my one month long Winter Break based around this model's predictions. I will only travel for the holidays if there is at most one significant snowfall over winter break. What is the probability of this happening? O 0.0174 O 0.0149 O 0.0025 O 0.0542
Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day. A sample of 74 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 11 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of a = 0.05. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value = The p-value is... less than (or equal to) a O greater than a This test statistic leads to a decision to...

It is known that in any given year, • 90% of the people in a city move to the suburbs; • 80% of the people in the suburbs do not move to the city. Given an initial city population of 55,000 and an initial suburb population of 77,000, what are the long-term population levels of the city and the suburb?
Compare What-If Analysis using Trial and Error and Goal Seek to the given scenario: Let's say a student is enrolled in an online class at a learning institution for a semester. His overall average grade stands at 43% in the course (Term Grade is 45%, Midterm Grade is 65%, Class Participation is 62% and Final Exam is 0%). Unfortunately, he missed his Final Exam and was given 0%. However, he has the opportunity to redo his Final Exam and needs at least an overall average of 60% to pass the course. How can you use Trial and Error and Goal Seek to find out what is the lowest grade he needs on the Final Exam to pass the class? Which method worked best for you and why?
1. Suppose that you estimate a model of house prices to determine the impact of having beach frontage on the value of a house.14 You do some research, and you decide to use the size of the lot instead of the size of the house for a number of theoretical and data availability rea- sons. Your results (standard errors in parentheses) are: PRICE; = 40 + 35.0 LOT¡ – 2.0 AGE; + 10.0 BED; – 4.0 FIRE; (1.0) (5.0) (10.0) (4.0) (10) N = 30 R2 =.63 where: PRICE¡ =the price of the th house (in thousands of dollars) =the size of the lot of the th house (in thousands of square feet) = the age of the th house in years =the number of bedrooms in the th house =a qualitative/dummy variable for a fireplace (1 = yes for the th house) LOT; AGE; BED; FIRE; a. You expect the variables LOT and BED to have positive coefficients. Create and test the appropriate hypotheses to evaluate these expectations at the 5-percent level. b. You expect AGE to have a negative coefficient. Create and test the appropriate…

3. Scenario It is believed that large doses of acetaminophen (the active ingredient in over the counter pain relievers like Tylenol) may cause damage to the liver in nearly half of those tested. A researcher wants to conduct a study to estimate if the proportion of acetaminophen users who have liver damage is the same as previously reported. For participating in this study, he will pay each subject $20 and provide a free medical consultation if the patient has liver damage. Part A If he wants to limit the margin of error of his 98% conﬁdence interval to 2%, what is the minimum number of subjects he needs? (answer should be in the form of x,xxx) the minimum amount of money he needs to set aside to pay his subjects? $ (answer should be in the form of $xx,xxx) Part B The amount you calculated in Part A is substantially over his budget so he decides to use fewer subjects. Will this change increase or decrease the width of his conﬁdence interval? Will this new confidence interval be…
Estimating income tax based on dividends is also not straightforward, due in part to Australia’s franking credit scheme. Mike is looking to simplify total annual tax projections for a share portfolio based simply on the share portfolio's current value. To do this, he wishes to determine if there is any statistically significant linear relationship between the two. Mike has randomly sampled 30 individuals with share portfolios over AUD$100,000 and mapped the assessed value of the portfolio (in AUD $1000) to the total taxes paid on that amount (in AUD$1). Mike's data is in the table below. Assessed Value Taxes 426.1 5014 368.8 3698 309.8 3691 373.9 5189 445.7 4455 505.1 5189 342.3 3416 343.6 3931 432.3 4393 329.2 3267 291.2 2871 399.3 4013 392.7 4728 482.2 4885 480.6 4888 390.8 3917 371.6 3738 311.9 3098 343.7 3633 304.7 3538 274.6 3427 457.1 4633 231.5 4009 450.5 4565 510.1 5946 308.4 3045 348.8 3504 410.4 3375…
