Short concept: The three questions are repeated from the previous set.  Pick any two out of the three from the choices below.  If you attempt all, I will grade only the first two.  Use this space to answer # 2 of your 2 choices. 1. What is total risk and what are the two components of total risk?  How can this risk be reduced?  When calculating the risk for a 2 or 3 stock portfolio, what are the statistical components you should take into account and why? OR 2.  When calculating the value of a firm for an acquisition of a target firm, what factors would you consider when determining the discount rate for calculating this value? If there are gains of synergy associated with this acquisition, how will the acquiring firm account for this in their valuation of the target? OR 3.  Your firm is considering cutting dividends due to a recent downturn in your industry.  With the knowledge gained from your recent Corporate Finance class, how would you present the pros and cons to changing dividend policy to your management team/and or shareholders?

public abstract class Food {   private boolean fried;   private int ounces;   public Food(boolean f, int o) {      fried = f;      ounces = o;   }     public abstract void eat();   public String toString() {      return String.format(“fried: %s, ounces: %d”,             fried, ounces);   }} Given the abstract class above, create a concrete subclass that only provides the minimum necessary implementation to satisfy the following requirements: The subclass should be named Doughnuts The subclass should have an additional private field of type int named amount The subclass should include a single public 3-argument constructor that uses proper constructor chaining to initialize all three data fields The subclass should be able to print out the names and values of all three data fields, in any order. Extra or unnecessary code may result in a deduction of points. Think carefully about the minimum necessary implementation to meet these requirements. Method names do not have to reflect their behaviors. Make sure to select the ‘Preformatted’ style from the dropdown so your code is formatted clearly. DO NOT USE THE TAB KEY WHEN WRITING CODE AS YOU MAY ACCIDENTALLY SUBMIT YOUR EXAM.
