A university is applying classification methods in order to identify alumni who may be interested in donating money. The university has a database of 58,205 alumni profiles containing numerous variables. Of these 58,205 alumni, only 576 have donated in the past. The university has oversampled the data and trained a random forest of 100 classification trees. For a cutoff value of 0.5, the following confusion matrix summarizes the performance of the random forest on a validation set:

Predicted

Actual

Donation

No Donation

Donation

268

20

No Donation

5375

23439

The following table lists some information on individual observations from the validation set:

Observation ID

Actual Class

Probability of Donation

Predicted Class

A

Donation

0.8

Donation

B

No Donation

0.1

No Donation

C

No Donation

0.6

Donation

a. Explain how the probability of Donation was computed for the 3 observations. Why were observations A and C classified as Donation and observation B was classified as No Donation?

b. Compute the values of accuracy, true positive rate (TPR), false positive rate (FPR) and precision. Evaluate the performance of the classifier, particularly comment on the precision measure taking into account the natural occurrence of donors in the data set.

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
