A five-year project requires an investment of -112 and has the following cash flows in years 1 through 5, respectively (all cash
flows in dollars): 48, 88, 34, 15, and 52. Find the difference between the Cauchy upper bound and the Cauchy lower bound. Write
your answer as a percentage with two decimals; e.g., 23.55% but do not write the % sign. (Acceptable error = 0.50%)
Table 2 shows the statistics for bed count and inpatient service days that Manatee Bay Health Center reported for last year (a non-leap year). The hospital chief operations officer (COO) is meeting with the board of directors next Tuesday for a quarterly meeting. He asked you to figure the hospital's occupancy ratio for the past year. You have been given the statistics in Table 2 to calculate the annual percentage of occupancy for the past year's operations.

- What do the Forecast for each year add up to?arrow_forward9. Suppose an electronics store offers an extended warranty on a cell phone that covers screenrepair and camera repair and will cost $9.99 per month. Suppose there is a 14% chance ofneeding a screen repair in the next year and an 11% chance of needing a camera repair. Suppose a screen repair will cost the store $155 and a camera repair will cost the store $79. How much annual profit does the store expect for each warranty purchased?arrow_forwardMany 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 55 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 22 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly more than 0.3. You use a significance level of a =0.02. What is the test statistic for this sample?

- Suppose a group of consumers spend 30% of their disposable income on food, 20% on clothing, and 50% on rent. If over the course of a year the price of food rises 10%, the price of clothing drops 5% and rent rises 15%, what is the average price increase experienced by these consumers?arrow_forwardA recent survey showed that 42% of recent college graduates named flexible hours as their most desired employment benefit. In a graduating class of 860 college students, how many would you expect to rank flexible hours as their top priority in job benefits?arrow_forwardReturns earned over a given time period are called realized returns. Historical data on realized returns is often used to estimate future results. Analysts across companies use realized stock returns to estimate the risk of a stock. Consider the case of Celestial Crane Cosmetics Inc. (CCC): Five years of realized returns for CCC are given in the following table. Remember: 1. While CCC was started 40 years ago, its common stock has been publicly traded for the past 25 years. 2. The returns on its equity are calculated as arithmetic returns. 3. The historical returns for CCC for 2014 to 2018 are: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Stock return 18.75% 12.75% 22.50% 31.50% 9.75% Given the preceding data, the average realized return on CCC’s stock is . The preceding data series represents of CCC’s historical returns. Based on this conclusion, the standard deviation of CCC’s historical returns is . If investors expect the…arrow_forward
