EXERCISE 2

The following table contains information about top 5 causes of death in the United States in 2014, both overall (all age categories) and 15-24 years old group. Based on information in Table 1., construct two pie graphs (one for overall, one for 15-24 age group), showing percentages for each cause of death. Given current technology, pie charts are almost always generated by computer rather than drawn by hand. For the purpose of this assignment you can use either computer program (i.e. Excel, SPSS) or draw pie charts by hand (each pie chart is worth 15 points).

Sandrine Machinery is a Swiss multinational manufacturing company. Currently, Sandrine's financial planners are considering undertaking a 1-year project in the United States. The project's expected dollar-denominated cash flows consist of an initial investment of $2000 and a cash inflow the following year of $2400. Sandrine estimates that its risk-adjusted cost of capital is 15%. Currently, 1 U.S. dollar will buy 0.73 Swiss franc. In addition, 1-year risk-free securities in the United States are yielding 6%, while similar securities in Switzerland are yielding 3%. Do not round intermediate calculations.

If this project was instead undertaken by a similar U.S.-based company with the same risk-adjusted cost of capital, what would be the net present value and rate of return generated by this project? Round your answers to two decimal places.

NPV = $ _____

Rate of return = _____

What is the expected forward exchange rate 1 year from now? Round your answer to two decimal places.

_____ SF per U.S. $

If Sandrine undertakes the project, what is the net present value and rate of return of the project for Sandrine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Table 2

Suppose that you intend to invest $10,000 in one-year government bonds. You are looking for the highest return on your investment and do not care whether you invest in the United States or Japan, but as U.S. resident, you want your investment return to be in U.S. dollars. The Table lists 4 scenarios, each showing the current interest rate for one-year government bonds in the United States and Japan, the current exchange rate between the dollar and the yen, and the expected exchange rate in one year. Other than the interest rates, you assume the bonds from each country to be identical.

Refer to Table 2. With which scenario will you be worst off by investing in Japanese bonds instead of U.S. bonds?

Role of Government in Providing Health Insurance for Other Sections

The government provides health insurance to low-income individuals, the elderly, and the disabled. These individuals cannot afford private health insurance and would be uninsured if government insurance did not exist. Medicaid and Medicare are entitlement programs, while SCHIP is a block grant program.

On the basis of your knowledge on Medicaid, Medicare and SCHIP, write a 3- to 4-page essay in a Microsoft Word document on these government insurance programs. Your essay should include answers to the following questions:

Compare and contrast the three major government health insurances. Include eligibility, administrative jurisdiction, and method of financing.

Compare the Medicaid program in the state you reside in with a Medicaid program in another state. Should Medicaid programs be uniform throughout the United States? Explain why or why not.

Compare the structure and eligibility rules for SCHIP in your state and SCHIP in another state. Do you think that SCHIP should be uniform throughout the United States? Why or why not?

Describe entitlement and block grant programs. How are these two programs different?

Should all government health insurances be entitlement programs or should they all be block grant programs? Why?
