Question 10

Risk Resulting from International Business This chapter concentrates on possible benefits to a firm that increases its international business.

a. What are some risks of international business that may not exist for local business?

b. What does this chapter reveal about the relation- ship between an MNC’s degree of international business and its risk?

Question 16

DFI Location Decision Decko Co. is a U.S. firm with a Chinese subsidiary that produces cell phones in China and sells them in Japan. This subsidiary pays its wages and its rent in Chinese yuan, which is stable relative to the dollar. The cell phones sold to Japan are denominated in Japanese yen. Assume that Decko Co. expects that the Chinese yuan will continue to stay stable against the dollar. The subsidiary’s main goal is to generate profits for itself and reinvest the profits. It does not plan to remit any funds to Decko, the U.S. parent.

a. Assume that the Japanese yen strengthens against the U.S. dollar over time. How would this be expected to affect the profits earned by the Chinese subsidiary?

b. If Decko Co. had established its subsidiary in Tokyo, Japan, instead of in China, would the subsidiary’s profits be more exposed or less exposed to exchange rate risk?

c. Why do you think that Decko Co. established the subsidiary in China instead of Japan? Assume no major country risk barriers.

d. If the Chinese subsidiary needs to borrow money to finance its expansion and wants to reduce its exchange rate risk, should it borrow U.S. dollars, Chinese yuan, or Japanese yen?

Question 13

Capital Budgeting Example Brower, Inc., just constructed a manufacturing plant in Ghana. The construction cost 9 billion Ghanaian cedi. Brower intends to leave the plant open for 3 years. During the 3 years of operation, cedi cash flows are expected to be 3 billion cedi, 3 billion cedi, and 2 billion cedi, respectively. Operating cash flows will begin 1 year from today and are remitted back to the parent at the end of each year. At the end of the third year, Brower expects to sell the plant for 5 billion cedi. Brower has a required rate of return of 17 percent. It currently takes 8,700 cedi to buy 1 U.S. dollar, and the cedi is expected to depreciate by 5 percent per year.

a. Determine the NPV for this project. Should Brower build the plant?

b. How would your answer change if the value of the cedi was expected to remain unchanged from its cur- rent value of 8,700 cedi per U.S. dollar over the course of the 3 years? Should Brower construct the plant then?

Question 25

Capital Budgeting Analysis Zistine Co. considers a 1-year project in New Zealand so that it can capitalize on its technology. It is risk averse but is attracted to the project because of a government guarantee. The project will generate a guaranteed NZ$8 million in revenue, paid by the New Zealand government at the end of the year. The payment by the New Zealand government is also guaranteed by a credible U.S. bank. The cash flows earned on the project will be converted to U.S. dollars and remitted to the parent in 1 year. The prevailing nominal 1-year interest rate in New Zealand is 5 percent, while the nominal 1-year interest rate in the United States is 9 percent. Zistine’s chief executive officer believes that the movement in the New Zealand dollar is highly uncertain over the next year, but his best guess is that the change in its value will be in accordance with the international Fisher effect (IFE). He also believes that interest rate parity holds. He provides this information to three recent finance graduates that he just hired as managers and asks them for their input.

a. The first manager states that due to the parity conditions, the feasibility of the project will be the same whether the cash flows are hedged with a forward contract or are not hedged. Is this manager correct? Explain.

b. The second manager states that the project should not be hedged. Based on the interest rates, the IFE suggests that Zistine Co. will benefit from the future exchange rate movements, so the project will generate a higher NPV if Zistine does not hedge. Is this manager correct? Explain.

c. The third manager states that the project should be hedged because the forward rate contains a premium and, therefore, the forward rate will generate more U.S. dollar cash flows than the expected amount of dollar cash flows if the firm remains unhedged. Is this man- ager correct? Explain.

PART II: SPEECH

Modules 5 through 8 Homework Assignments will be a continuation of the speech process. You will construct your speech by answering the following prompt, which will be given at the beginning of each homework assignment. This is a step-by-step process. As long as you read the textbook, read the online material, and complete the activities, you will not encounter much difficulty.

Prompt: The Internet is home to worldwide content, which can be informational and sometimes controversial. Should the Internet be censored by the government? Develop a persuasive speech that argues for or against having the government censor the Internet. You will construct a traditional, five-paragraph speech (introductory paragraph, 3 body paragraphs, concluding paragraph) that answers this prompt. The total length of pages should not exceed 3 typed pages.

1. First step in developing a speech is prewriting. Decide whether you agree or disagree to have the government censor the Internet.

2. Next, make a list of as many reasons why you agree or disagree to have the government censor the Internet.

3. Then try to see if any of those reasons can be grouped together. Using the numbers (1), (2), and (3), number those reasons according to where they should appear in the body paragraphs. For example, group (1) would appear in the first body paragraph, group (2) would appear in the second body paragraph, and group (3) would appear in the third body paragraph.

4. Create an outline using the model below. You will skip the introduction and conclusion sections and will return to them in later modules. Focus on the body section for now.

I. Introduction

B. Price
1. No issues with pricing
2. Ask cashier for refund policy
3. Do not have to pay shipping and handling
C. Active
1. Exercise
2. See what others are buying
3. Know what is popular

In Grave’s Disease, hyperthyroidism is produced by an IgG that causes prolonged activation of the TSH receptors and results in excessive secretion of T3 and T4. Explain why the negative feedback mechanism does not work in this disease.

Due 8/12/15 in class.
Problem Set 2 [ – 2 pts/day late]
1. In Grave’s Disease, hyperthyroidism is produced by an IgG that causes prolonged activation of the TSH receptors and results in excessive secretion of T3 and T4. Explain why the negative feedback mechanism does not work in this disease. Reference an internet source (URL) or book (5 points).

2. Chromatographic assay reveals that the total amount of T3 in the blood is 10 μg. You find that the various bound forms of the hormone are:
T3(free) = 0.5%
T3 ~ albumin = 12 %
T3~TBG = 69 %
and T3~pro-albumin = 18.5 %
Target tissue: heart whose Bmax of T3 receptors = 76 fmol of T3 receptor/mg protein (1 fmol = 10-15 mol), where you have 100 μg protein (total protein of which T3 receptors makes only a tiny fraction) in your heart assay. MW = 68 kDal = 68,000 g/mol [Dasmalopatra et al., Receptor, 2(4):213-223, 1992]. This reference is only for the MW of T3 receptor, and not for the solution to this question. Note: You won’t need the MW of T3 because you already have the amount in g.
This is another intuition question, a conceptual question. So, don’t get all caught up in equations. If you had freshman chemistry or physics, then you can solve the following:
Calculate the amount (in g) of available T3 and its receptor (also in g). How do the 2 amounts compare? Will Bmax be reached (10 points)?

Do the project using the Regression model method with a scatter plot.

Homework 3

[Pin It]

Can someone do this project for me using the Regression model method with a scatter plot?

The problem is this: Cost of Organic vs Non-Organic Chicken.

Gather the facts from Hampton Roads Virginia using the locate stores like Walmart, Kroger, Food Lion, Farm fresh, and Commissary. This information should cover from 2011 until 2015.

Review the article “Foundation Codes of Ethics: Why Do They Matter, What Are They, and How Are They Relevant to Philanthropy?” Think about how you might identify an ethical issue at a nonprofit organization.

High moral standards and lawful procedures are an integral part of resource development. It is important that nonprofit organizations cultivate, obtain, and use donor gifts in ways that are ethical and legal. For instance, when an organization receives a donation for a specific purpose, it is ethically bound to spend the funds in that way. Donors expect organizations to use their gifts in ways that further the mission of the organization in an ethical and lawful manner. In addition, leaders of nonprofit organizations must be aware of and follow all laws related to gift reporting.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review the article “Foundation Codes of Ethics: Why Do They Matter, What Are They, and How Are They Relevant to Philanthropy?” Think about how you might identify an ethical issue at a nonprofit organization.
Review the article “Doing Well by Doing Right: A Fundraiser’s Guide to Ethical Decision-Making,” paying attention to ethical decision-making models that might be used to solve ethical dilemmas.
Reflect on the nonprofit organization you are using for your Final Project. Identify at least one ethical issue and one legal issue you might encounter in this organization related to resource development.
Review the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ “Code of Ethical Principles and Standards,” and think about specific ethical principles and/or standards you might apply to address the ethical issue you identified.
Using the Walden Library, another library, or the Internet, research laws that apply to nonprofits. Consider specific laws related to resource development and think about which ones might address the legal issue you identified.

THE ASSIGNMENT

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Wednesday a brief description of the nonprofit organization: Young Life

Describe at least one ethical issue and one legal issue related to resource development that you might encounter in your nonprofit organization, and then explain how you would address each. Be sure to include ethical principles and/or standards and laws that apply.
