Suppose the rate of return on a 10-year T-bond is 4.05%, the expected average rate of inflation over the next 10 years is 2.0%, the MRP on a 10-year T-bond is 0.9%, no MRP is required on a TIPS, and no liquidity premium is required on any Treasury security. Given this information, what should the yield be on a 10-year TIPS? Disregard cross-product terms, i. e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average.
a. 1.15%
b. 1.41%
c. 1.05%
d. 1.17%
e. 1.22%

Using a cps-sample of 7,440 individuals, you estimate the following regression: = 20.91 - 2.61 x female where female is a binary variable that takes on the value of 1 for females and is 0 otherwise. the standard error on the coefficient on female is 0.25. the 95% confidence interval for the gender wage gap, or the amount that females earn less, is: a) [-3.10, -2.12] b) [18.30, 23.52] c) [-3.02, -2.20] d) [-1.96, -1.64]

Until recently, hamburgers at the city sports arena cost $4.70 each. the food concessionaire sold an average of 13 comma 000 hamburgers on game night. when the price was raised to $5.40, hamburger sales dropped off to an average of 6 comma 000 per night. (a) assuming a linear demand curve, find the price of a hamburger that will maximize the nightly hamburger revenue. (b) if the concessionaire had fixed costs of $1 comma 500 per night and the variable cost is $0.60 per hamburger, find the price of a hamburger that will maximize the nightly hamburger profit.

Mr. pines is considering buying a house and renting it to students. the yearly operating costs are $1,900. the house can be sold for $175,000 at the end of 10 years and it is considered 18% to be a suitable annual effective interest rate. if the house costs $100,000 to purchase, how much would you need to charge your tenants each year in rent?
