One share of Global Core Development Systems, Inc (an imaginary company with the abbreviation: Go-CDS) stock was priced at $14.31 on January 1, 2015. Your tasking in this problem is to determine how long does it take for a stockholder to double their money who has invested in Go-CDS? In other words, how long until the price per share has doubled.

Here are some facts about Go-CDS:

• Very stable company with a proven track record of manufacturing.
• The normal growth of Go-CDS's stock has averaged a monthly growth rate of 0.5000% in the share price. (This means that the price per share goes up by 0.5000% each month over the last month's price.)
• Beginning in March 2015, each time Go-CDS releases a quarterly report (on the 15th of the months of March, June, September and December each year), the stock share price increased immediately by 4.3000% due to the continuing, favorable outlook for Go-CDS's products in the marketplace. This trend continues throughout the time period.
• Due to a merger with another manufacturing company in the 19th month after 1/1/2015, the monthly growth rate increased to 1.4000% until the end of THAT calendar year (the last month of that year is the 24th month). Since then, the monthly growth rate increased to 2.3000% per month.
• Unfortunately, due to a bad set of business decisions in 2017, the Board fired the CEO which instantly cut the share price on January 5, 2017 to $3.58 (the 25th month). A new CEO was immediately hired on January 10, 2017.
• The company growth rate reset to 0.9500% per month after the new CEO was hired due to bad press.

Problem: Write a MATLAB program to solve the following questions:

Question 1:

In what month does the stock exceed 2 times the price of $14.31?

Question 2:

Prepare a plot of the stock's per-month price movement over the course starting from the first month of year 2017 until the price has exceeded 2 times the price of $14.31. (You plot should start from month 25, and should cover the month that is the answer to Question #1.) You will need to adjust the plot routine to ONLY show these months.

To limit the plot to these months, add the following command after your xlabel and ylabel commands:

How do I code this is MATLAB?

One share of Global Core Development Systems, Inc (an imaginary company with the abbreviation: Go-CDS) stock was priced at $14.59 on January 1, 2015. Your tasking in this problem is to determine how long does it take for a stockholder to double their money who has invested in Go-CDS? In other words, how long until the price per share has doubled.

Here are some facts about Go-CDS:

• Very stable company with a proven track record of manufacturing.
• The normal growth of Go-CDS's stock has averaged a monthly growth rate of 1.0000% in the share price. (This means that the price per share goes up by 1.0000% each month over the last month's price.)
• Beginning in March 2015, each time Go-CDS releases a quarterly report (on the 15th of the months of March, June, September and December each year), the stock share price increased immediately by 2.5000% due to the continuing, favorable outlook for Go-CDS's products in the marketplace. This trend continues throughout the time period.
• Due to a merger with another manufacturing company in the 15th month after 1/1/2015, the monthly growth rate increased to 1.1000% until the end of THAT calendar year (the last month of that year is the 24th month). Since then, the monthly growth rate increased to 1.5000% per month.
• Unfortunately, due to a bad set of business decisions in 2017, the Board fired the CEO which instantly cut the share price on July 5, 2017 to $7.30 (the 31st month). A new CEO was immediately hired on July 10, 2017.
• The company growth rate reset to 1.0500% per month after the new CEO was hired due to bad press.

On January 1, 2018, Cullumber Inc. granted stock options to officers and key employees for the purchase of 20,000 shares of the company’s $10 par common stock at $27 per share. The options were exercisable within a 5-year period beginning January 1, 2020, by grantees still in the employ of the company, and expiring December 31, 2024. The service period for this award is 2 years. Assume that the fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $323,200.

On April 1, 2019, 2,000 options were terminated when the employees resigned from the company. The market price of the common stock was $33 per share on this date.

On March 31, 2020, 12,000 options were exercised when the market price of the common stock was $41 per share.

Prepare journal entries to record issuance of the stock options, termination of the stock options, exercise of the stock options, and charges to compensation expense, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Assume that you have recently been hired as the special assistant to the chief executive officer (CEO) of your health care organization, Thunder Hospital. Your duty is to head up the new quality improvement department. Over the last year, the hospital has experienced substantial growth but is also facing a number of patient safety concerns, including a steady increase in medical errors and a 25% rise in hospital-acquired infections. Based upon what you have learned in this course, prepare a quality improvement plan to present to the CEO with strategies for addressing these issues.

In a 1,000-1,250-word proposal, include the following:

1. Identify the issues the hospital is currently facing and how they are affecting quality outcomes and endangering patients.
2. Present a detailed plan to improve quality and elaborate on how it aligns with the hospital’s initiatives to improve value-added health care. Discuss the quality improvement tool you suggest using to locate and ameliorate problem areas, as well as the roles and responsibilities of involved stakeholders, financial considerations for the implementation of your proposal, the goals of the plan, and methods for evaluating its success.
3. Examine the effects that the implementation of this proposal will have upon administrators, clinicians, and physicians. Explore possible challenges that could arise with stakeholders reacting negatively to changes presented by this proposed plan. What strategies or preventive measures could be put in place to reduce the friction between various health care providers?
4. How will your plan improve overall quality for Thunder Hospital? How will the improvements your plan suggests implementing now set the hospital up to continue providing quality care in the future?

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

3. As the CFO, you decided to hedge using option contracts. Assuming expected final sales volume is 35,000, what are your total benefit/cost and the percentage benefit/cost from hedging

(compared to no hedging)

1. if the exchange rate (bid-ask) remains at $1.11/€ - $1.12/€?
2. if the investors consider the U.S. dollar a safe haven currency during the pandemic?

4. Assume that the Scenario 2 (Pandemic) took place in 2020 and the euro became a safe haven currency during the pandemic. What are your cash flows if you did not hedge, hedged using forward contracts, and hedged using option contracts?   

5. Assume that the Scenario 2 (Pandemic) took place in 2020 and the U.S. dollar became a safe haven currency during the pandemic. What are your cash flows if you did not hedge, hedged using forward contracts, and hedged using option contracts?   

6. Based on the calculations in Part B, do you believe that it is a good policy to hedge Porsche’s currency exposure? Why?
