1.8. Consider an income guarantee program with an income guarantee of $5,000 and a benefit reduction rate of 40%. A person can work up to 2,000 hours per year at $10 per hour. a. Draw the person’s budget constraint with the income guarantee. b. Suppose that the income guarantee rises to $7,500 but with a 60% reduction rate. Draw the new budget constraint. c. Which of these two income guarantee programs is more likely to discourage work? Explain. d. Draw...
3. (3 pts) A certain large shipment comes with a guarantee that it contains no more than 15% defective items. If the proportion of defective items in the shipment is greater than 15%, the shipment may be returned. You draw a random sample of 10 items. Let X be the number of defective items in the sample. If in fact 15% of the items in the shipment are defective (so that the shipment is good, but just barely), what is...
3) Dublin-based Cloudenci is considering a new public cloud offering that assures a maximum time to repair (MTTR) of 600 seconds for any given failed component in its cloud infrastructure. Assuming a maximum of one failure per year: a) Calculate the annual availability without planned downtime b) If Cloudenci wants to offer a five nines SLA based on the availability, what is an acceptable MTTR assuming 1 failure per year with no planned downtime? c) Discuss one of the following...
No more than one state of nature can occur at a given time for a chance event. This indicates that the states of nature are defined such that they are ________________.
Suppose that we wish to assess whether more than 60 percent of all U.S. households in a particular income class bought life insurance last year. That is, we wish to assess whether p, the proportion of all U.S. households in the income class that bought life insurance last year, exceeds .60. Assume that an insurance survey is based on 1,000 randomly selected U.S. households in the income class and that 640 of these households bought life insurance last year. a) Assuming...

Based on expectation theory, if the interest rate for a 3-year bond is 8% and the interest rate on a 1-year bond right now is 9%, a one year bond a year from now is 9%, what is the expected one year bond interest rate 2-years from now? Answer this questions using the simplified averaging assumption from page 95. (Show your work by uploading a file. You can use excel, word or hand write your work and upload a picture...
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? A) In general, money today is worth more than money in one year. B) We define the risk-free interest rate, rf for a given period as the interest rate at which money can be borrowed or lent without risk over that period. C) We refer to (1 - rf) as the interest rate factor for risk-free cash flows. D) For most financial decisions, costs and benefits occur at different points in time. Suppose...
