Annual wages and pay increases are classified as a __________ metric of human resources.

Suppose that the average time an employee takes to reach the office is 35 minutes. To address the issue of late comers, the mode of transport chosen by the employee is tracked: private transport (two-wheelers and four-wheelers) and public transport. The data on the average time (in minutes) taken using both a private transportation system and a public transportation system for a sample of employees are given below.

  Private Transport Public Transport 27 30 33 29 28 25 32 20 20 27 34 32 30 37 28 38 18 21 29 35 a. Considering the travel times (in minutes) of employees using private transport, compute the z-score for the tenth employee with travel time of 29 minutes. b. Considering the travel times (in minutes) of employees using public transport, compute the z-score for the second employee with travel time of 29 minutes. How does this z-score compare with the z-score you calculated for part a?c. Based on z-scores, do the data for employees using private transport and public transport contain any outliers? What will be an ideal response?

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. The longer the maturity of a Treasury security, the smaller the interest rate risk. 2. The value of a bond that pays semiannual interest is greater than that of an otherwise equivalent annual coupon interest paying bond. 3. Interest rate risk is the risk that results from the changes in interest rates and thereby impact the bond value. 4. When the required return is different from the coupon interest rate and is constant until maturity, the value of the bond will approach its par value as it nears maturity. 5. When a bond's required return is greater than its coupon interest rate, the bond value will be less than its par value.
