Question: Consider three different processors P1, P2, and P3, executing the same instruction set. P1 has a clock cycle time of 300 picosecond and a CPI
Consider three different processors P1, P2, and P3, executing the same instruction set. P1 has a clock cycle time of 300 picosecond and a CPI (clock cycles per instruction) of 1.5. P2 has a clock cycle time of 400 picosecond and a CPI of 1.0. P3 has a clock cycle time of 250 picosecond and a CPI of 2.0. P1 is running a program with 10 instructions. P2 is running a different program with 20 instructions. P3 is running a program with 15 instructions.
Which processor has the highest performance? By how much does the fastest processor faster than the slowest processor? What are the CPU execution times for the three processors running their assigned programs? Please be sure to show and explain the detailed steps of how you arrived at your answer in your submission

Long-Term Treasury Bonds currently are selling at yields to maturity of nearly 8%. You expect interest rates to fall. The rest of the market thinks that they will remain unchanged over the coming year. In each question, choose the bond that will provide the higher holding- period return over the next year if you are correct. Briefly explain your answer. 1. a Baa-rate bond with coupon rate 8% and time to maturity 20 years 2. An Aaa-rated bond with coupon rate of 8% and time to maturity 20 years 3. B. An A rated bond with coupon rate 4% and maturity 20 years callable at 105 4. An A- rated bond with coupon rate 8% and maturity 20 years callable at 105 5. C. A 6% coupon non callable T-bond with maturity 20 years and YTM 8% 6. A 6% coupon non callable T-bond With maturity 20 years an YTM 8%1. Assume a bond has an 8% coupon, and 30-year maturity with par value of $1000. Suppose the market interest rate is 8% annually. What is the value of the bond? What is the value of the bond if market interest rates were 10% instead of 8%? 2. Suppose an 8% coupon, 30-year bond is selling at $1,276.76. What average rate of return would be earned by an investor purchasing the bond at this price? 3. What is the price for a zero-coupon bond with 3 years to maturity if the required rate of return is 10%7 What if the bond offers a 14% coupon rate (annual)? 4. One and two-year maturity, default-free, zero-coupon bonds have yields to maturity of 7% and 8% respectively. What is the implied 1-year forward rate 1 year from today
