Discussion Forum - Compensation
As you are likely aware, executive compensation varies tremendously in the U.S. So, in this interactivity, we’re going to research their past and current compensation schedules.
It was reported in the news that the average pay for most university presidents was around $250,000 per year, but that a few earned much more. For example, the president of Yale University received more than $1 million in 2012.
Discuss why you would (or would not) pay university presidents as much as or more than many corporate CEOs.

8. Mary has just completed her undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and is already planning on entering an MBA program four years from today. The tuition will be $20,000 per year for two years, paid at the beginning of each year. In addition, Mary would like to retire 15 years from today and receive a pension of $60,000 every year for 20 years and receive the first payment 15 years from today. Mary can borrow and lend as much as she likes at a rate of 7%, compounded annually. In order to fund her expenditures, Mary will save money at the end of years 1-3 and at the end of years 6-14. Calculate the constant annual dollar amount that Mary must save at the end of each of these years to cover all of her expenditures (tuition and retirement)?

A U.S. bank has €10,000,000 deposit liabilities denominated in Euros (€) that must be repaid in two years. The deposits pay a fixed interest rate of 4%. The bank took the money raised and converted it to US dollars at the prevailing spot rate of $1.5/€, and made a dollar-denominated loan to a corporate customer who will repay the bank over the next two years in US dollars at a variable rate of interest equal to LIBOR +3%. The interest rate earned may change every six months.
Which of the following SWAP contracts could bank management use to reduce the bank’s interest rate and foreign exchange rate exposure?
Multiple Choice
The US bank could enter into a SWAP agreement to pay fixed rate in €s at 3% in exchange for receiving payments in US$ based on LIBOR+3%.
The US bank could enter into a SWAP agreement to make US$-denominated payments at LIBOR+2% in exchange for receiving €-denominated payments at 4%.
The US bank could enter into a SWAP agreement to make €-denominated payments of LIBOR+2% in exchange for receiving US$-denominated payments at 4%.
None of the above.

Jane is unhappy with her current salary and is considering doing a two-year MBA. For simplicity assume the MBA starts today (i.e., in t=0). Tuition is $25,000 per year payable at the beginning of a year. Jane must additionally buy books and supplies worth $5,000 per year which are again payable at the beginning of a year. If Jane pursues the MBA she expects to get a job right after graduation. The job entails a signup bonus of $10,000 immediately when she starts the job and a starting salary of $86,000. Jane expects this salary to grow at a rate of 6% annually. Salaries are paid at the end of a year. Regardless of whether she pursues the MBA or stays in her current job Jane expects to retire in 38 years from today. Does it pay for Jane to do an MBA? Perform NPV calculation.

Is my writing for the email correct? I mean grammatically and academy.
Dear Dr. Muller,
Greetings!
I would like to thank you for your assistance.
I looked at the offer from University of Manchester and I found
that there were two conditions are master's degree with GPA of 3.2
or higher and Two satisfactory references issued on official headed
paper, signed and dated by referees
I think I provided official transcript with GPA of 3.667 and two
references to Dr.George on Oct 20, 2019.
Currently, I am studying master's degree in Physics at Columbia
University in US. And I will graduate on Dec 14, 2019.
I will attach you all the required documents in this email. It is
my kind request to you to help me to get a Final admission
(unconditional) because this is a prerequisite by my sponsor to
upgrade my scholarship from US to UK.
Thanks, and Best regards
Sam

Lloyd is completing high school and wondering about his future. He needs to make a choice between pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business or pursuing an MBA. Lloyd lives in two periods, the first relating to his education and the second relating to employment commencing after graduation and extending through retirement. In the first period, he completes his education. In the second period, he works in the labor market. Lloyd determines to attend the University of Utah.
If Lloyd pursues a bachelor’s degree at the U of U, he will spend $52,000 on education in the first period and earn $2.4 million in the second period. If he pursues an MBA, he will spend $139,000 on education in the first period and earn $2.8 million in the second period. Lloyd seeks to maximize his lifetime earnings.
Suppose that Lloyd can lend and borrow money at a 7% rate of interest between the two periods. Which degree will Lloyd pursue? Explain using both mathematic calculation and verbal description.

Healthcare Associates operates 33 medical clinics in Iowa. As part of the company’s ongoing efforts to examine its customer service, Healthcare worked with an MBA class at the University of Iowa on a project in which a team of students observed patients at the clinics to estimate the difference in mean time spent per visit for male and female patients. Previous studies show that the standard deviation is 11 minutes for men and 16 minutes for women. The MBA students observe 100 male and 100 female patients and discover the mean time per visit for men is fifty minutes, and for women is fifty-five.
(a) Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference in population mean time per visit by gender.
(b) Test at 5% significance the hypothesis that mean visit time is exactly 50 minutes for women. Based on your conclusion, are you more likely to have made a type I or type II error? What is the probability of this error?
(c) What is the p-value for the test in part (b)?
