Three cases:   

O’Lone v. Estate of Shabazz: 

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/482/342/case.html 

Sherbert v. Verner (1963): 

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/374/398/case.html 

Braunfeld v. Brown (1961)

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/366/599/case.html

Write a three pages using only these three resources you CAN’T USE ANY OTHER RESOURCES 

you must also go through the following outline: 

1. introduction: introduce the three cases and explain the issues addressing in the essay which are related to governmental intervention on religious rights (14th amendment), outline the paper, and a thesis. 

2. second paragraph and third: talks about when the governments can intervene, explain compelling interest from the cases you read. Explain how the Sherbert test was developed through the Sherbert v. Verner (1963) case and how was compelling interest applied in O’Lone v. Estate of Shabazz. Lastly you can also address how was the Braunfeld v. Brown different from these cases by the lack of compelling interest precedent. 

3. This fourth paragraph will address the inconsistencies in the judge’s decisions, why were they inconsistent, you can build a time frame for the judges different precedents and lack of precedents, Also discuss the justices opinions’ shifts. (Think about this, every justice had a different perspective on how the law should have applied) so how did this affect their judgments.  

4. the conclusion should summarize the main points, and restate or re-emphesise the thesis. 

 

This outline is to help you write the paper, remember this is a three page paper. DOUBLE SPACED don’t use outside resources, just go through the cases, and CITE ALL the information you have put down. 

 

This is actually visual logic not basic. I need 3 assignments done. Need the flowcharts and varibles as well as the pseudocodes. Here are the assignments. ASSIGNMENT 1: Create a program that prints a book. The book consists of the following components: • A title and author • Three chapters o Each chapter consists of: A title Text – you decide the text per chapter. Keep each chapter short (just a few lines of text per chapter is sufficient – for example 3 lines of text per chapter). The text is written in a professional style. Program Requirements: • The user of the program is allowed to specify how many copies of the book should be printed (e.g., 0, 1, 6, or 10, etc). • The prompt for data input is user-friendly (i.e., the user of the program does not see the program’s variable names). • Each chapter starts with a new line number (e.g., Line Number: 1 for Chapter 1, Line Number: 2 for Chapter 2 … etc). The line number is displayed first, then the chapter itself. Hint for keeping track of the line number: Given that for every copy of the book, each chapter starts with its corresponding line number (1, 2 … etc.), the program can define a variable whose value is reset right before the book is about to be printed, and then the variable value is incremented when the chapter is about to be printed. • The program must implement multiple modules. The book itself must be implemented in modules (one module for the title/author and each chapter is implemented in its own module). • The copies of the book are displayed on the Visual Logic console. Expected Submittals: 1. The Visual Logic program (50%). 2. Formal pseudocode (following the book syntax, proper indentation, with variable declarations, etc.). Use Notepad++ to create the pseudocode (*.txt file) (50%). ………….ASSIGMENT 2: Design a program that displays the sum of the integer numeric values stored in two arrays, in a tabular format. The design defines two arrays of the same size (each array has 10 elements). One array stores odd integer numeric values (the first element of the array (at index 0) stores the value 1, … etc). Another array stores even integer numeric values (the first element of the array (at index 0) stores the value 2, …, etc). Program Requirements: • The program displays a title (appropriate for the case being solved). • The program displays on a single line three headings (i.e., labels) – to identify the corresponding odd, even, and sum values. • The program displays the triplets (i.e., the three numeric values – odd, even, and sum), one triplet per line of output, for a total of 10 output lines. • The indices of the arrays are zero-based. • The arrays are dimensioned to contain 10 elements (not 11 eleven elements – NOTE: In Visual Logic if the size of the array is set to 10, the array will have a capacity to store 11 elements). • The program uses modules. Expected Submittals: 1. The Visual Logic program (50%). 2. The pseudocode, written with Notepad++ (*.txt). Write formal pseudocode as demonstrated in the book – with variable declarations, appropriate use of keywords, proper indentation, etc. (50%). ……………ASSIGNMENT 3: In a wireless SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) network, the strength of the radio signal is (among others) a function of the distance between the wireless Access Point (AP) (e.g., a wireless router) and the computers wirelessly connected to the network. The longer the distance between the AP and a computer, the weaker the radio signals. Assume that the wireless SOHO network is based on the IEEE 802.11g protocol, case in which the approximate maximum range between the AP and the computers is 125 ft. Create a program that estimates the radio signal strength (%) – a range – for computers stationed at different distances (ft) from the AP. In your design use 5 distance zones, and proportionally assign to them signal strength ranges (%). For example, for a computer situated 10 ft away from the AP, the estimated radio signal strength would be 100 – 80%. Page 2 of 2 Program Inputs: • The distance from the computer to the AP (in ft, integer values, e.g., 2, 5, 100, etc.). Program Outputs: • The estimated signal strength (%) – a range. Program requirements: • The program must implement at a minimum three modules (or more if needed) • During a single run, the program must be able to process multiple inputs. • The prompt for data input is user-friendly (i.e., the user of the program does not see the program’s variable names). • Given that it is unknown how many data inputs the user will provide to the program, upon start, display a message letting the user know how to terminate the current execution of the program. • The program must display a title on the Visual Logic’s console. • Program outputs are displayed on the Visual Logic’s console – one line after another, with userfriendly labels. Expected Submittals: 3. The Visual Logic program (50%). 4. Formal pseudocode (following the book syntax, proper indentation, with variable declarations, etc.). Use Notepad++ to create the pseudocode (*.txt file) (50%). IMPORTANT NOTE 1: If your Visual Logic code uses compound Boolean operators, make sure you read the TIP on page 26, in the Visual Logic book. IMPORTANT NOTE 2: Test your program with multiple distance values, to insure that the outputs (the corresponding signal strength ranges) are correct. In your design you must consider which signal strength value the program will display, when the distance between a computer and the AP is longer than 125 feet.

This assignment must be completed in excel. Each problem must have there own sheet and it all goes into one workbook. You can not just state the answer you must use formulas to complete. 

 

 

6)The following are the historic returns for the Chelle Computer Company:

Based on this information, compute the following:

a.The correlation coefficient between Chelle Computer and the General Index.

b.The standard deviation for the company and the index.

c.The beta for the Chelle Computer Company.

 

8) As an equity analyst, you have developed the following return forecasts and risk estimates for two different stock mutual funds (Fund T and Fund U):

a.If the risk-free rate is 3.9 percent and the expected market risk premium (i.e., E(R_M) − RFR) is 6.1 percent, calculate the expected return for each mutual fund according to the CAPM.

b.Using the estimated expected returns from Part a along with your own return forecasts, demonstrate whether Fund T and Fund U are currently priced to fall directly on the security market line (SML), above the SML, or below the SML.

c.According to your analysis, are Funds T and U overvalued, undervalued, or properly valued?

10.Draw the security market line for each of the following conditions:

a.(1) RFR = 0.08; R_M(proxy) = 0.12

(2) R_z = 0.06; R_M(true) = 0.15

b.Rader Tire has the following results for the last six periods. Calculate and compare the betas using each index.

 

c.If the current period return for the market is 12 percent and for Rader Tire it is 11 percent, are superior results being obtained for either index beta?

 

3.You have been assigned the task of estimating the expected returns for three different stocks: QRS, TUV, and WXY. Your preliminary analysis has established the historical risk premiums associated with three risk factors that could potentially be included in your calculations: the excess return on a proxy for the market portfolio (MKT), and two variables capturing general macroeconomic exposures (MACRO1 and MACRO2). These values are: λ_MKT= 7.5%, λMACRO1 = −0.3%, and λMACRO2 = 0.6%. You have also estimated the following factor betas (i.e., loadings) for all three stocks with respect to each of these potential risk factors:

a.Calculate expected returns for the three stocks using just the MKT risk factor. Assume a risk-free rate of 4.5%.

b.Calculate the expected returns for the three stocks using all three risk factors and the same 4.5% risk-free rate.

c.Discuss the differences between the expected return estimates from the single-factor model and those from the multifactor model. Which estimates are most likely to be more useful in practice?

d.What sort of exposure might MACRO2 represent? Given the estimated factor betas, is it really reasonable to consider it a common (i.e., systematic) risk factor?

5.Suppose that three stocks (A, B, and C) and two common risk factors (1 and 2) have the following relationship:

a.If λ₁ = 4% and λ₂ = 2%, what are the prices expected next year for each of the stocks? Assume that all three stocks currently sell for $30 and will not pay a dividend in the next year.

b.Suppose that you know that next year the prices for Stocks A, B, and C will actually be $31.50, $35.00, and $30.50. Create and demonstrate a riskless, arbitrage investment to take advantage of these mispriced securities. What is the profit from your investment? You may assume that you can use the proceeds from any necessary short sale.

a. Using regression analysis, calculate the factor betas of each stock associated with each of the common risk factors. Which of these coefficients are statistically significant?

b.How well does the factor model explain the variation in portfolio returns? On what basis can you make an evaluation of this nature?

c.Suppose you are now told that the three factors in Exhibit 9.12 represent the risk exposures in the Fama-French characteristic-based model (i.e., excess market, SMB, and HML). Based on your regression results, which one of these factors is the most likely to be the market factor? Explain why.

d.Suppose it is further revealed that Factor 3 is the HML factor. Which of the two portfolios is most likely to be a growth-oriented fund and which is a value-oriented fund? Explain why.

 

7)a. Using regression analysis, calculate the factor betas of each stock associated with each of the common risk factors. Which of these coefficients are statistically significant?

b.How well does the factor model explain the variation in portfolio returns? On what basis can you make an evaluation of this nature?

c.Suppose you are now told that the three factors in Exhibit 9.12 represent the risk exposures in the Fama-French characteristic-based model (i.e., excess market, SMB, and HML). Based on your regression results, which one of these factors is the most likely to be the market factor? Explain why.

d.Suppose it is further revealed that Factor 3 is the HML factor. Which of the two portfolios is most likely to be a growth-oriented fund and which is a value-oriented fund? Explain why.
