Suppose that you are part of the Management team at Porsche. Suppose that it is the end of December 2019 and a novel coronavirus that causes a respiratory illness was identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The illness was reported to the World Health Organization and there is heightened uncertainty around the Globe.

You (as part of the management team) are reviewing Porsche’s hedging strategy for the cash flows it expects to obtain from vehicle sales in North America during the calendar year 2020. Assume that Porsche’s management entertains three scenarios:

Scenario 1 (Expected): The expected volume of North American sales in 2020 is 35,000 vehicles.

Scenario 2 (Pandemic): The low-sales scenario is 50% lower than the expected sales volume.

Scenario 3 (High Growth): The high-sales scenario is 20% higher than the expected sales volume.

Assume, in each scenario, that the average sales price per vehicle is $85,000 and that all sales are realised at the end of December 2020. All variable costs incurred by producing an additional vehicle to be sold in North America in 2020 are billed in euros (€) and amount to €55,000 per vehicle. Shipping an additional vehicle to be sold in North America in 2020 are billed in € and amount to €3,000 per vehicle.

The current spot exchange rate is (bid-ask) $1.11/€ - $1.12/€ and forward bid-ask is $1.18/€ - $1.185/€. The option premium is 2.5% of US$ strike price, and option strike price is $1.085/€. Your finance team made the following forecasts about the exchange rates at the end of December 2020:

• bid-ask will be $1.45/€ - $1.465/€ if the investors (and speculators) consider the euro (€) a safe haven currency during the pandemic.
• bid-ask will be $0.88/€-$0.90/€ if the investors (and speculators) consider the U.S. dollar ($) a safe haven currency during the pandemic

1. You decided not to hedge Porsche’s currency exposure. If the expected final sales volume is

35,000, what are your total revenues

1. if the exchange rate (bid-ask) remains at $1.11/€ - $1.12/€? Let’s call this the baseline scenario.
2. if the investors consider the euro a safe haven currency during the pandemic? How does this compare to the baseline case?
3. if the investors consider the U.S. dollar a safe haven currency during the pandemic? How does this compare to the baseline case?

2. Assume that you and the Porsche’s management team decided to hedge using forward contracts. Assume that the expected final sales volume is 35,000. What are your total benefit/cost and the percentage benefit/cost from hedging (compared to no hedging)

a) if the exchange rate (bid-ask) remains at $1.11/€ - $1.12/€?

b) if the investors consider the U.S. dollar a safe haven currency during the pandemic?

Hilda Wilde is a 45-year-old woman who was diagnosed with asthma as a child. She recalls her first asthma attack being horrendous; chest tightness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, feeling anxious and sweating profusely. She was rushed to hospital and spent many days in hospital as a child until she managed to work out the triggers and control it early. The triggers for her asthma were cold temperatures, pollen, smoky environments and respiratory infections/colds, which continue to be the triggers throughout her adult life. She also developed hay fever and an allergy to penicillin in her 20’s, which didn’t surprise her as her mum also had these conditions.

One cold Spring day Hilda is outside gardening as she is finding herself stressed by the current coronavirus and gardening usually relaxes her. Hilda is making good progress on weeding when she starts to experience those dreaded sensations she knows only too well; tightness in the chest, shortness of breath and dizziness. She starts to wheeze and cannot stop coughing. Her husband notices Hilda is struggling and brings Hilda’s inhaler (Ventolin) for her. Hilda’s wheezing and shortness of breath does not ease off, even with her inhaler. She finds it hard to talk or get up and walk. Her lips start to turn blue. Hilda’s husband calls an ambulance and Hilda is taken to hospital where she is given corticosteroids. She is told she has to stay in hospital a few days so that her condition can be monitored. However, Hilda is worried about staying in hospital due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. Her GP has previously told her that if she contracts the virus, she is at a greater risk of developing more serious symptoms such as pneumonia or acute respiratory distress. The hospital staff have assured her that they take all the necessary precautions. All coronavirus affected patients are isolated in private rooms, and all healthcare staff practice proper hand hygiene and appropriate use of PPE.

A few days later, Hilda’s asthma is under control and she is discharged from hospital. She is told to take her preventer medicine every day, even when she is feeling well. She is also told to follow routine practices and precautions to lessen her risk of contracting coronavirus.

Question

Choose 2 signs or symptoms that are characteristic of Hilda’s respiratory disease and link them to the pathophysiology of her condition (i.e., explain how the pathophysiological changes cause the signs and symptoms you specified).

Questions from the book Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

- In this novel a scientist discovers a new form of solid H2O that is stable at room temperature.

- When a small crystal of this substance is introduced into the ocean it solidifies leading to the end of life on earth.

- The substance is known as Ice-9

Excerpt from the Book

- I closed my eyes

- There was a sound like that of a gentle closing of a portal as big as the sky, the great doors of heaven being softly closed

- It was a great AH-WHOOM.

- I opened my eyes and all the sea was ice-nine

- The moist green earth was a blue white pearl

- The sky darkened. Borassi, the sun, became a sickly yellow ball, tiny and cruel.

- The sky was filled with worms. The worms were tornadoes.

Properties of Ice-9

- Crystalline solid

- Molecules of H2O organized differently than normal H2O

- Melting point is 45.8oC

- A small crystal causes the entire ocean to solidify.

Questions

1. Based on the information given, will ΔGo for the formation of ice-9 from liquid water be (+) or (-)? Explain how you know.

2. Will the entropy, So, for the system increase or decrease for this process? Explain how you know.

3. Based on your answers above, will the enthalpy change, ΔHo be (+) or (-) for the process. Write an equation to support your answer.

4. In the story, the author doesn’t mention any temperature change. Based on your answers above, how would the temperature change in the system? In the surroundings?

5. Does ice-9 have stronger or weaker intermolecular interactions than regular ice? How do you know?

6. Given that the melting point of ice-9 is much higher than that of regular ice, will the ΔHo for the conversion of water to ice-9 be more positive or more negative than the ΔHo for the conversion of water to regular ice? H2O(l) → Ice-9(s)

Calculations

7. If 1.00 mol of water at 0oC were converted to ice-9 what is the minimum quantity of heat that would be released? (The enthalpy of fusion for regular ice is 6.01 kJ/mol)

8. Imagine 1.00 mol of water being converted to ice-9 in an insulated container. Liquid water has a heat capacity of 4.184 J/goC. Make the assumption that ice-9 would not have a heat capacity of more than liquid water. Calculate the temperature change that would have to result from the conversion of 1.00 mol of liquid water at 0oC to ice-9 in an insulated container.

Thank You.

Question 1 An economist uses economic analysis to study and interpret our world. Economic analyses often contrast. Sometimes there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer. However, there are good and bad economic analyses. You must learn how to make good economic arguments.

In this assignment, you will use economic thinking to pose and answer a question inspired by a real-world problem, series of events, or circumstance that happened to you. The topic is completely up to you so long as you use economic thinking to consider and answer the question. Your analysis should be approximately 500 words or less, and should be written in plain English of a standard suitable for the Straits Times’ Forum or Opinion pages. You should avoid using mathematical equations or excessive use of economic terminology.

You should concentrate on issues that you have directly observed and have some (noneconomic) knowledge of. For example, please do not explain what determines crude oil prices or how to improve Singapore’s productivity growth. While these are important questions, they cannot train your ability to use economics because your answer will simply summarize what others say. You should develop your thinking, not your ability to summarize. Independent and original thinking will help you develop your skills the best.

Here is the assessment grading rubric: a) Your title, which should consist of the question or problem you are examining. Titles tell people whether your work is worth reading and without a good title, you can’t catch the attention of a client or of top management. Work on this!
b) Whether your topic is interesting and novel from an economic point of view. This is subjective. Interesting topics could be those which do not seem, at first, to be amenable to economic thinking, such as non-market activities. However, everyday economic exchanges can be interesting if you focus on a point that is unusual, or inconsistent with simplistic economic reasoning. Perhaps the test is: Would a nonfinancial newspaper devote space to covering the topic?
c) The economic integrity of your argument. Is the economic reasoning logical and consistent with standard economic theory; if not, does it explain clearly why the standard economic principles do not apply?
d) Your ability to explain economic arguments to a non-economics audience, including your use of English grammar and language. While this is not an English course, you will never convince anyone you are an expert on any topic if your plain English is plain bad.
