Fifteen years ago, you bought a 30-year bond for $750. The annual coupon rate is 8%, the bond makes annual coupon payments, and the face value of the bond is $1000. Today, you sold the bond (with 15 years left until maturity) at a yield of 6%. What was your annual Holding Period Return (HPR)? Please write your answer in percentage terms to two decimal places (7.21 percent is 7.21, not 0.0721)

Consider that we are utilizing an application and we needed to deal with a file I/O operation. Consider that the system is currently in the user mode. Explain what happens in the next steps to allow us deal with I/O. Describe the scenario from the system’s perspective (so explain underlying mechanism).

As we discussed about process states, go ahead an explain what each state is, describing how the system determines state transitions. Provide a scenario to demonstrate all these states (explain perhaps an application running and state changes over time).

What does the following code do? Explain your answer.  

We discussed both processes (parent and child) and threads (multi-threading). Consider the utility of multiple processes vs multiple threads. What are their differences in terms their activities, implementation and results. Are they different? Do they both provide some concurrency? Explain.
