ANSWER:
Let take a model for two periods.
Period 0 (present): Let benefit = income - cost be =100
Period 1 (future): Let benefit = income - cost be =150
We should expect the genuine dicount rate is 10%
Presently, our NB = profit0 + profit1/1+r = 100 + 150/1.1 = 236.36
Presently assume the scientist imagines that loan fee is 8%
NB = 100 + 150/1.08 = 238.88
Presently assume the analyst feels that loan cost is 12%
NB = 100 + 150/1.12 = 233.92
Accordingly, we see that lessening financing cost inceases the net present advantage.

It is commonly believed that the more often we encounter someone, the more we end up liking the person. If the person “mirrors” our actions when we talk to them (e.g., smiling when we smile, touching our hair when we touch our hair), we like them even more than previous tests show. To test this hypothesis, a researcher has randomly assigned equal numbers of male (n=10) and female (n=10) students to meet with a confederate who they have never met...
Suppose we have two species R and S that interact with one another and that we record the change in their populations from year to year. When we begin our study, the populations, measured in thousands, are Ro and So; after k years, the populations are R and S,. If we know the populations in one year, they are determined in the following year by the expressions We will combine the populations in a vector x - and note that...
We use the formula PV = FV (1/1+R)^N to calculate Present Value. The formula is used to figure out how much a future sum is worth today, given that there is always a discount rate. In class, we imagined a $20 million lottery win, in which the Lottery officials make the following offer: either take $1 million per year for 20 years, or accept the Present Value using a discount rate of 5%. There is a factor that is NOT...
Problem 6. In lecture, we saw that an undirected graph with n nodes can have at most n(n - 1)/2 edges. Such a graph necessarily has one connected component. The greatest number of edges possible in a disconnected graph, however, is smaller. Suppose that G (V, E) is a disconnected graph with n nodes, how large can |El possibly be? You do not need to prove your answer, but you should provide some explanation of how you obtained it.
We have seen that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has argued that low interest rates in the United States during the mid-2000s were due to a global savings glut rather than to Federal Reserve policy. In an interview with Albert Hunt of Bloomberg Television, Alan Greenspan, who was Federal Reserve Chairman from August 1987 through January 2006 made a similar argument. Greenspan argued, "Behind the low level of long-term rates: a global savings glut as China, Russia and other emerging...
Number 10 Bonus Problems ; part a, b, c. Thank you 10. Bonus problems: (a) In the lecture, we have derived the capacitance C of a coaxial cylindrical capacitor of length L with the radii Ri and Ro of the inner and outer cylinders, respectively. Simply write down the formula. Using R,-R and Ro-R+ δ, re-express the formula, and make a plot for C vs δ/R. (10 points) (b) A parallel-plate capacitor is made of two conducting plates of size...
In Chapter 1 of the text we looked at calculating a monthly payment for a loan. A related formula is to calculate the amount accruing when regular payments are made into an interest bearing account - often called the Savings Plan formula. (A is the accrued amount after t years of making regular payments, PMT, into an account at interest rate, r%, compounded ntimes each year.) A(t) = PMT·((1 + r/N)N·t - 1)/(r/N) = PMT*((1 + r/N)^(N*t) - 1)/(r/N) The...
B = B 2 In the lecture we used Faraday's law to show that the electro- motive force in a rectangular loop of wire, rotating about the Ê-axis with a constant angular frequency w and placed in a constant magnetic field B = Bĉ was 3 4. 2 e(t) = wt î E = ABw sin(wt). Here A is the area enclosed by the loop. In this problem we shall consider the same arrangement, where the length of each side...
During the mRNA processing our bodies will omit parts of the RNA depending on the environment around us. This means we may have the Gene for one type of phenotypic expression but not actual show it because the RNA was altered before the translation process.. If we are under a high stress environment then we will produce proteins that will alter our phenotype (this includes behavior). This editing can be cause by multiple factors like our food consumption, stress, resource...
a) In lecture we derived the estimate of B in WLS as Derive A.wls when p-1. (It should have a form similar to simple linear regression.) (Hints: Notice that we can write a weighted average as analogues of the sums of squares identities we've used; you should derive these if you need to use them.) . You may need to use weighted b) Assume we have the following data: T1 T2 y2 That is, we have a total of n...
