FIN 380 Take-Home Final Examination- Fall, 2018 The following pages contain the take home midterm for Finance 380, sections A, B and C. The exam is due no later than Monday, December 17th at 9:00 AM. Late exams will lose 1 point for every minute late. By electronically submitting the final exam, you are attesting to the following. Please READ carefully. 1. I understand that this is an examination and attest that the work presented is my own; that it is done without outside assistance of any kind (except that provided by the instructor). I understand that the penalty for cheating or collusion of any kind is a grade of F for the course. 2. Spreadsheet solutions will be appropriately formatted and developed in a logical, readable, coherent fashion. Confusing or unformatted spreadsheets may result in a reduction of points. 3. I understand that the file tabs are in their original order and understand that out-of-order problems will not be graded (Note: it is YOUR responsibility to insure that what you pass in ordered correctly) 4. I understand that the due date and time for the exam is Monday, December 17th at 9:00 AM. I understand that the exam must be submitted electronically. I understand that exams passed in after that time will be considered late and will incur a minimum penalty of 1 point lost per minute late. 5. The file name should contain both your last name, first name, section and the word “Final” in that order. For example, if you’re in the 10AM section (Section A), your file name should be Ketcham.David.A.Final.xlsx 6. Make sure you pass in the FINAL exam, not a homework assignment or your midterm. I don’t have time to hunt you down. 7. If you submit your exam early, I’ll try to open the file and make sure I have the right exam and that I can view it. I’ll let you know if I have problems. It is unlikely that I will be able to do so for any exam submitted after 5:00 P.M. on the day (Sunday) before the due date. 8. The exam is being made available to you on or before December 10th and is due December 17th. That means you have ample time to ask questions in class, during office hours, via email, or through myriad other means. If you don’t understand a question, ask BEFORE the exam is due for clarification. Misunderstood questions leading to wrong answers will count against you. 9. Good luck! It’s almost over. INDEX [10] This worksheet contains prices and dividends (Hyatt recently began paying dividends in March, 2018) for four companies; each is chosen to represent a different industry sector. Note that Kroger split 1 for 2 in July 2015. Share prices and dividends have been adjusted so that pre-split values are consistent with values after the split. The number of shares for Kroger as shown in the table below should be used for all dates. Construct a Price Index, and Equally Weighted Returns Index, and a Value Weighted Returns Index. Set the initial index level at 25. Graph all three indices on the same graph. Co.
