Homework 2 Solution‚ Fin 500Q‚ Quantitative Risk Management 1. Assume gold price risk is diversifiable‚ and the riskless rate is 5%. A firm produces a unit of gold a year from today. Assume all interest is compounded annually and is tax deductible. The price of gold is either $500 or $200‚ each with probability 0.5. Suppose the firm pays taxes at a rate of 40% for all its cash flow in excess of $300. The value of the firm is the expected discounted value of its cash flow less the expected discounted value

EXPERIMENT NO. 7 Quantitative Analysis of Soda Ash by Double-Indicator Titration ABSTRACT This experiment aims to analyze the percent composition of a substance mixture by using double indicator titration. The analyte used is the soda ash which is titrated with an HCl titrant‚ standardized by 1o Na2CO3. The indicators used are phenolphthalein for basicity and methyl orange for acidity. The two volumes of the titrant are then used to calculate percent composition of soda ash analyte. Statistical
