HIT172 Operating Systems and Applications

Setting up Remote Desktop Connection: (Marks 06)
You are working as HelpDesk Support for an organization where your usual
duty involves providing remote users various IT related supports. Majority
of these users are placed in locations where high-speed LAN (10Mbpds) are
not available. Assume they are using the Darwin VM at their end, and you
have Canberra VM at your end. Now you will have to set up Remote Desktop
Connection from Canberra to Darwin; so that you, with the physical access
to Canberra VM, can remotely connect to Darwin VM. You also have to ensure
the connection is optimized for low-speed broadband networks.
Follow the submission format and before starting this task ensure VMs can
ping each other.
TASK-02: Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
Creating Firewall Rules: (Marks 06)
www.cdu.edu.au or cdu.edu.au has the IP address of 138.80.162.69. Create
an outbound firewall rule in any of the VMs that will allow the VM’s browser
to access all other websites except that of CDU’s one.
Name the rule according to your own CDU student ID, for instance s298900.
But don’t use ‘298900’, use your own ID.
Before you initiate the task, change the VM’s Network from ‘intnet’ to ‘NAT’,
this will allow access to internet through your host (physical) machine. So
also ensure your physical machine is connected to internet.
You must provide all the necessary screenshots up until the creation of the
rule as well as results following the submission format. While providing the
result, include browser’s screenshot where it shows it can access other
websites but not CDU; plus in the same screenshot, include ping screenshot
where it shows – within one command box – a ping request to 8.8.8.8
succeeds whereas another request to 138.80.162.69 fails (the format for
screenshot is given next page).
8.8.8.8 is a public DNS server used and maintained by Google so it is always
up and running.
Now once you are done with the above and taken necessary screenshots for
the whole process and result; make required changes to the rule so that this
time, Ping requests to CDU goes through but the website still remains
unavailable. (hint: ping uses ICMP while Web Traffic uses TCP).
I’ve attached the following screenshot for reference, as you can see, the
browser and command box must be present within a single screenshot.
TASK-03: Linux Commands
Linux: (Marks 08)
Following are some tasks which should be executed in a terminal and the
corresponding screenshot should be included.
• Find out the ID of a specific process and cease its execution using that
ID.
• Show how to move two files, F1.txt and F2.txt from Device directory
(/dev) to Home directory. Just assume these two files are already
created.
• Using Method-1* for chmod, set permission for a file in the format rwx
rw- -w- and rw- r-x –x.
• Using Method-2* for chmod, ‘Give Execute and Write’ permission to
group and owner for a file.
* Refer to the chmod section of Linux command file for Method 1 and
2.

FBE 441: Investments

To carry out this problem set, you will need a computer running Microsoft Excel. Please use the data
provided in the answer template available on Blackboard. This problem set is due by 07:59am PT on
Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Your solutions should be in the form of a single Excel file with each
question answered in a separate sheet. Make sure to include the names of all people in your team
somewhere obvious inside the file. Submit the file on Blackboard. It is all team members’
responsibility that the problem set is submitted on time. It is sufficient if one of the team members
makes a submission.
Question 1
Please use data in sheet beta_portfolios for this question. The data description is included in the Excel
file which you should read carefully.
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) predicts that differences in the exposure to market returns
should explain all cross-sectional expected return differences between different assets. In this
question, you will evaluate CAPM using annual data on portfolios sorted by CAPM beta from 1964 to
2019.
a) Compute the average return, volatility, average beta, and the Sharpe ratio for each portfolio.
b) As a mean-variance investor who needs to pick one of the five beta-sorted portfolios, which
portfolio would you choose?
c) Show graphically that CAPM does not hold. To do this, plot the security market line (SML) –
predicted by the data on the market return and the riskless rate –along with the average returns and
average betas of portfolios.
d) What does the relation between the expected portfolio returns and betas imply for mispricing
under the assumption that the CAPM is the right model? Which portfolios are overpriced, and which
portfolios are underpriced?
2
Question 2
Please use data in sheet beta_portfolios for this question. The data description is included in the Excel
file which you should read carefully.
In this exercise, we will implement a simplified version of the “Betting against Beta” (BaB) strategy.
For this purpose, we construct a zero-cost market-neutral (zero-beta) strategy by taking a levered
position in portfolio 1 (the lowest-beta portfolio) and a delevered short position in portfolio 5 (the
highest-beta portfolio) using the portfolio betas in each year.
a) Compute the returns of a levered version of portfolio 1 that has the same beta as the market
portfolio. What is the average annual return of this portfolio? Assume that the riskless rate can be
used for both borrowing and lending.
b) Compute the returns of a delevered version of portfolio 5 that has the same beta as the market
portfolio. What is the average annual return of this portfolio? Assume that the riskless rate can be
used for both borrowing and lending.
c) Consider a zero-cost strategy that is long in the levered portfolio from a) and short in the delevered
portfolio from b). What are the average return, Sharpe ratio, and beta of this strategy?
d) Interpret the results from c) in an economy where the only systematic risk is exposure to market
risk, and therefore the CAPM is the right model of risk and return.
Question 3
Please use data in sheet beta_portfolios for this question. The data description is included in the Excel
file which you should read carefully.
a) Some researchers have argued that the CAPM does not appear to hold due to high borrowing costs
for investors. That is, the cost of borrowing to lever up low-beta portfolios is higher than the riskless
rate. Repeat the exercise in a), b), and c) of Question 2 assuming that the borrowing costs of investors
is higher than the riskless rate by 6 percent.
b) How does your conclusion in d) of Question 2 change in terms of the feasibility of exploiting
mispricing in a CAPM world

gastroesophageal reflux disease

1. A young woman who is a full time college student presents with symptoms of chronic recurrent abdominal pain, diarrhea, excessive gas formation, abdominal distention, and bloating. She is very frustrated with her symptoms and wants to know what she can do to resolve these problems. What is the probable diagnosis of this patient, and what are some nutrition guidelines that would be effective to help her manage her symptoms?

2. A person has complaints of persistent severe heartburn after eating, which is minimally relieved with antacids. He is diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). How should you educate this pereson about GERD and the measures to prevent severe heartburn?

literature:religious and healthcare values


  1. Describe any religious and/or healthcare values that you have learned about this semester that do not align with your own. What strategies and insights helped you to engage sympathetically with these values and helped you think through them carefully?
  2. Tell the story of one example when you found a way to respect a religious practice or value that seemed to challenge your own values. When and how did you cultivate respect and compassion for other religions’ practices and beliefs? When did you notice your attitudes changing as you gained new knowledge? If your perspective or interpretations changed, what was it like for you? How might it be possible to live out the wisdom that you discovered or perhaps pass this new insight on to others?
  3. Describe what it has been like for you to read your classmates’ reflections and respond to them in your peer replies. How have unfamiliar religious and healthcare values been discussed? What is the impact of reading and responding to your classmates’ work on your own learning in this course? What reflection made the strongest impression on you? How did you reply to it? How did this dialogue affect your learning later on
