Discussion 1:

Read: “The Experience of Disease: Psychosocial Aspects of Movement Disorder” (Jacopini, 2000), “Caregiver Bodywork: Family Members Experiences of Caring for a Person With Motor Neuron Disease” (Ray & Street , 2006), and “Biopsychosocial Predictors of Depressive Mood in People With Parkinson’s Disease” (Moore, et.al , 2007). Additionally, review Chapter 3 in your text and watch the Andres Lozano: Parkinson’s, Depression and the Switch That Might Turn Them Off video.

For this discussion, refer to the information in the “Introduction to the Miller Family” document. Ella’s father, Frederic, has Parkinson’s disease and is known in the family as the “shaky” grandpa. In 250-300 words, given what you know about the members of the family, analyze and comment on the potential effects this condition/illness might have on them. Select two individuals from different generations and analyze the similarities and differences in their perspectives on this condition from the lens of their stage of life and development. Explain the kinds of emotional and/or behavioral changes that might be expected. How might the various family members react to them?

Discussion 2:

Watch the Annie Lennox: Why I Am an HIV/AIDS Activist video, and review any relevant Instructor Guidance. For this discussion, reference the information in the “Introduction to the Miller Family” document. Mike Maldonado lost his companion of 10 years to AIDS. After being tested, Mike learned that he is HIV positive. Examine the biological basis for social, psychological, and physical problems related to his diagnosis. Comment specifically on how they pertain to Mike’s psychological state. Based on their cultural and traditional beliefs, as well as their concerns for his health, comment on how Mike’s family members might react to the news about this diagnosis. What are some common thoughts, beliefs, biases, and fears that might be held by Mike, his family, friends, and his community as a result of their sociocultural experiences? Integrating what you have learned from the readings and video, what information would you want the Miller family to have in order to understand and be supportive of Mike at this time?

As a financial adviser to individual investors, your boss has asked you to write a memo to him so that he can recommend a mortgage-backed bond to a client. The client has a particular corporate bond in mind, but your boss thinks that a pass-through mortgage-backed security would provide a better yield at the same risk level and maturity. The bond that the client is considering is a 7-year, AA-rated bond with a 6.75% coupon. When it matures, the proceeds will be used for and are matched exactly with the cost of his daughter’s college education, which will be paid in one lump sum. The bond your boss favors is a pass-through MBS (also 7-year with an AA rating), featuring a 7.15% coupon. Your economic research department just released a research report that predicts that interest rates are going to decline over the next several years to historical lows.

Wr that provides the following:

Your recommendation
At least 3 reasons you considered to develop your recommendation

Shortly after you were given this task, you became aware of a new CMO issue that has an AA-rated, 7-year Class A VADM tranche, with a 7.00% coupon that uses a Z bond to protect against prepayment and extension risk. Write a second memo to your boss of at least 300 words that offers the following:

What the acronym VADM means in the context of MBS
A description of the new CMO tranche and how it may or may not be a better choice for the client than the corporate bond and the MBS that your boss initially recommended

Analysis of Credit Card Debt

[Pin It]

is Suppose that you had a $5,270.00 balance on a credit card with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 15.53 percent. Consider the following questions and prepare a report based upon your conclusions. This report must be submitted as A WORD DOCUMENT and attachment to the Consider the following questions and prepare a report based upon your conclusions. Your report should be created as a Word document, but you are encouraged to create graphs and charts (which can be made in Excel and copied to the Word document) to illustrate your points. Remember: make sure you explain what the charts and/or graphs mean; do not assume the reader understands what they mean.

Most credit cards require that you pay a minimum monthly payment of two percent of the balance. Based upon a balance of $5,270.00, what would be the minimum monthly payment (assuming no other fees are being applied)?
Considering the minimum payment you just calculated, determine the amount of interest and the amount that was applied to reduce the principal. Hint: You’ll need to find the total interest for the year first.
Consider one of your credit cards. What is the balance? How is the minimum monthly payment determined? What would be the minimum payment? How much of the minimum payment goes towards interest? How much of the minimum payment goes towards the principal? If you do not want to share an actual balance or do not have a credit card, calculate these amounts using an imaginary credit card balance.
Now, examine the terms of one of your credit cards or other revolving debt. Are there other charges that the credit card company is applying to your account? Are you receiving a special rate for a limited time? Does your card charge an annual service charge or an inactivity fee?
Examine a credit card bill (or other revolving debt) and see how long it will take to pay off your debt if you paid only the minimum payments (you can also use an online calculator like the one http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/managing-debt/minimum-payment-calculator.aspx What steps could you take to pay off this credit card (or debt) sooner? Determine the percentage of the principal that you need to pay down in order to pay off the credit card in the time frame of your choosing.
Many Americans find themselves amassing large amounts of credit card (or other revolving) debt at an early age. What advice concerning the use of credit cards and the fees they charge would you provide to a young adult planning on getting a credit card?
