A business executive has the option to invest money in two plans: Plan A guarantees that each dollar invested will earn $0.70 a year later, and Plan B guarantees that each dollar invested will earn $2 after 2 years. In Plan A, investments can be made annually, and in Plan B, investments are allowed for periods that are multiples of 2 years only. How should the executive invest $100,000 to maximize the earnings at the end of 3 years? Specify...

We are given a random number generator that generates a uniform random variable X over the interval [0, 1]. Suppose we flip a fair coin and if H occurs, we report X and if T occurs, we report 2X + 1. Let Y be the reported random variable. (a) Derive the cdf and pdf of Y (b) Which one is more likely to occur: Y ∈ [0,1] or Y ∈ [1,2]? Explain your answer.

The position x(t), of a damped oscillator with forcing satisfies the ordinary differential equation , i) where f(t) denotes the forcing on the oscillator. (i) If x(0) = 0, dx dt (0) = 1, f(t) = 4t and the Laplace transform of x(t) is denoted X(s) = L[x(t)], then show that X(s) = 1 /(s + 2)^2 + 4 /s^2 (s + 2)^2 ii) Hence find x(t)

Ginger Rogers makes two comments about discounted cash flow models applied to dividends and share repurchases:...

Ginger Rogers makes two comments about discounted cash flow models applied to dividends and share repurchases: Statement 1: Because DDMs do not incorporate the cash flows to investors from repurchases, they systematically understate the present value of future cash flows from a stock and underestimate the true rates of return, which should be based on total cash flows. Statement 2: Some considerations that might argue against the corporate use of repurchases are their lack of transparency, potential unequal treatment of...
