4. When a known future cash outflow in a foreign currency is hedged by a company using a forward contract, there is no foreign exchange risk. When it is hedged using futures contracts, the daily settlement process does leave the company exposed to some risk. Explain the nature of this risk. In particular, consider whether the company is better off using a futures contract or a forward contract when 1. The value of the foreign currency falls rapidly during the life of the contract 2. The value of the foreign currency rises rapidly during the life of the contract 3. The value of the foreign currency first rises and then falls back to its initial value 4. The value of the foreign currency first falls and then rises back to its initial value Assume that the forward price equals the futures price.

Alzheimer Case Study
February 19, 1940, Mrs. Eunice Greene was born in a small rural town known as Attapulgas, Ga. She remained there all of her life. In 1960, she got married to Mr. Thomas Greene. Together they had five children, three boys and two girls. She worked as a primary school educator at Decatur Fundamentals Learning School until she retired in the summer of 1992. Her life was very active. She loved to garden, travel, bake, spend time with her friends, grandchildren, husband, and volunteer in her church. Every Sunday evening she and her husband would go out for long Sunday drives. On their last few Sunday drives, Mrs. Greene repeatedly asked Mr. Thomas, “Where are we going? Where are you taking me? Are we going to school today?” Mr. Greene replied, “Pumpkin, we’re taking our normal Sunday drive like we always do”. While on the drive, Mr. Greene stopped at one of their friend’s home, Jo and Mary, since they hadn’t chatted for a while. While sitting during the conversation, Mrs. Greene would say, “Suzy, is that you?” Then she turned to her husband and stated, “Tommy, who is this lady? I knew it! I knew it! You’ve been sleeping around on me.” Moments later, she struck at her husband with her fist and then proceeded to strike at Mary. They all came together to help settle Mrs. Eunice. Eventually, they were able to settle her down and get her into their vehicle. On the way back home, Mr. Tommy stopped by the local country store but could not get out with Mrs. Eunice because she had soiled her incontinent brief and her dress. This left Mr. Thomas not being able to go inside the store because he did not feel it would be wise to leave his wife alone. When they returned home, Mr. Tommy assisted his wife with her care. By this time, it was nearly time for bed. They both went on to bed. At 11:30 p.m. Eunice awakened and wandered out of the back door while her husband was still sleeping. Mr. Tommy woke up in a hurry to use the toilet. After he returned from the bathroom he realized Eunice was no longer in the bed. He called their children explaining what happened. They advised their father to go out looking for their mother and they would continue to help once they got there. Tommy placed on his slippers, grabbed his flash light and walked as fast as he could out of the back door. He screamed as loud as he could constantly, “Eunice, Eunice darling, where are you?” He combed through the house then the front and back yard. He looked inside the chicken coop and the pig pen. He walked the old lonely and dark dirt road. He looked in the cars. He looked everywhere he could possibly think of. Thirty minutes later the children began arriving. They looked in the house and retraced the areas their father searched frantically. Their mother did not surface. Mr. Taft, one of the local sheriffs was called for help. Because the family was very dear to him and Mrs. Eunice was his school teacher once, he decided to get out of his bed and help the family in the search since thy did not feel like the local unit would begin searching as fast as they wanted them to. Mr. Taft rushed to their home but before he jumped into his car, he made sure his dog Mabel joined him. Once Mr. Taft got to the family’s home, he asked a few more questions and asked for an article of Mrs. Eunice’s clothing for Mabel to sniff. Mabel was then placed on the hunt for Mrs. Eunice. Within ten minutes into the search, Mabel found Mrs. Eunice lying out in the sugar cane patch peacefully asleep.

In this program, you will generate a random “sentence” constructed of random “words”. Quotes are used in the preceding sentence because the “words” will mostly be nonsense words that do not exist in the English language.
Step 1. The average number of words in an English sentence is about 17 words. First generate a pseudorandom number NW between 10 and 20 for the number of words in your random “sentence”. Use srand( ) to set the initial value in the iterative algorithm within the rand( ) function. Given NW, initialize a for-loop for(i=0; i
Step 2. To generate a pseudorandom “word” within the for-loop
above, you first need to generate a pseudorandom number NL for the
number of letters in the “word”.
The number of letters in a word follows the following probability
table. two-letter words 0.20 three-letter words 0.27 four-letter
words 0.22 five-letter words 0.14 six-letter words 0.09
seven-letter words 0.08 -------------------------------- Total =
1.00
Think of generating a pseudorandom value NL between 0.0 and 1.0 and
choosing the number of letters in the “word” using the pseudorandom
value according to the following: If NL >= (0.00) and NL <=
(0.20), then the number of letters in the word will be two. If
NL> (0.20) and NL <= (0.20+0.27), then the number of letters
in the word will be three. If NL> (0.20+0.27) and NL <=
(0.20+0.27+0.22), then the number of letters in the word will be
four. If NL> (0.20+0.27+0.22) and NL <=
(0.20+0.27+0.22+0.14), then the number of letters in the word will
be five. If NL> (0.20+0.27+0.22+0.14) and NL <=
(0.20+0.27+0.22+0.14+0.09), then the number of letters in the word
will be six.
If NL> (0.20+0.27+0.22+0.14+0.09) and NL <=
(0.20+0.27+0.22+0.14+0.09+0.08), then the number of letters in the
word will be seven.
Notice that there are 6 intervals, representing NL=2 to NL=7. To
assign a number of letters NL in the “word”, declare a 6-cell 1-D
float array prob_letters[ ] and load the 1-D array with the
probability sums from above. float prob_interval[6]={ 0.2, 0.47,
0.69, 0.83, 0.92, 1.0};
Now generate a pseudorandom value x between 0.0 and 1.0 x=rand(
)/(float)RAND_MAX; Initialize the number of letters NL to 2: NL=2;
Now check if x lies in one of the other five intervals for NL=3 to
NL=7. If so, assign NL to the number of letters for that interval.
for(i=1; i<6; i++){ if(x>= prob_interval[i-1] &&
x<= prob_interval[i])NL=i+2; }
Two important Notes : Important Note 1 : A better way to generate
the 1-D array of interval values prob_interval[ ] is to start from
the probabilities for the occurrencess of NL=2 through NL=7. float
prob_interval[6]={ 0.2, 0.27, 0.22, 0.14, 0.09, 0.08}; Then form
the array elements as the sums for(i=1; i<6; i++){
prob_interval[i]= prob_interval[i]+ prob_interval[i-1]; } Use this
approach in the
Step 3 below. Important Note 2. : The array prob_interval[ ]
should be generated only one time, before you begin any looping. Do
not generate this array over-and-over-again, by incorrectly placing
it inside the loop in Step 1. Step 3. Print out a “word” of length
NL letters to the display. This “word” will be constructed from
pseudorandom letters a-z. Start with a for-loop for(j=0; j a 0.085
b 0.021 c 0.045 d 0.034 e 0.112 f 0.018 g 0.025 h 0.030 i 0.075 j
0.002 k 0.011 l 0.055 m 0.030 n 0.067 o 0.07 p 0.032 q 0.002 r
0.076 s 0.057 t 0.070 u 0.036 v 0.011 w 0.013 x 0.002 y 0.018 z
0.002 ---------------- total 1.000
Use the method from Step 2. You can make use of the sequential
ascii character codes for letters ‘a’ through ‘z’. float
prob_let[26]= {0.085, 0.021, 0.045, 0.034, 0.112, 0.018, 0.025,
0.030, 0.075, 0.002, 0.011, 0.055, 0.030, 0.067, 0.071, 0.032,
0.002, 0.076, 0.057, 0.070, 0.036, 0.011, 0.013, 0.002, 0.018,
0.002}; Important Note: The first letter of the first word in the
sentence should be printed as capitalized; i.e. uppercase. Step 4.
Place a blank space after the “word” printed in Step 3, or place a
period after the “word” printed in Step 3 if it is the last “word”
in the sentence. Your results should look like: Elfh gfk llae
mjlodp noc tjvjs mlknko si. Note, we haven’t applied any rules such
as: 1. a “minimum of one vowel per word”; 2. ‘t’ is often followed
by ‘h to form ‘th’; 3. ‘s’ often occurs at the end of a word to
form a plural; 4. etc.. so actual words will only appear
infrequently
