5. The Argentine peso was fixed through a currency board at Ps1.00/$ throughout the 1990s. In January 2002 the Argentine peso was floated. On January 29, 2003 it was trading at Ps3.65/$. During that one-year period Argentina's inflation rate was 20% on an annualized basis.

Inflation in the United States during that same period was 2.5% annualized.

1. What should have been the exchange rate in January 2003 if PPP held?

2. By what percentage was the Argentine peso undervalued on an annualized basis?

1. What were the probable causes of undervaluation?

Think about the impact of technology on financial markets. Discuss some examples of the latest technological advances in financial market instruments. Be sure to include both money market and capital market instruments. Are there technological advances (whether in trading or pricing or listing) in financial markets and instruments, that exist in other countries, and which have not been implemented in the United States?  Discuss these advances.

I am going through "writer's block" with my paper. Unsure what else to discuss. Any help is appreciated.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the chances of your tax return being audited are about 6 in 1,000 if your income is less than $50,000; 10 in 1,000 if your income is between $50,000 and $99,999; and 49 in 1,000 if your income is $100,000 or more (Statistical Abstract of the United States: 1995).

If two taxpayers with incomes under $50,000 are randomly selected and two with incomes more than $100,000 are randomly selected, what is the probability that none of these taxpayers will be audited by the IRS?

The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits nearly 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States and is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. The National Patient Safety Goals, required to be implemented by all accredited organizations to improve the safety and quality of care, are updated annually. Review the National Patient Safety Goals, and discuss instances where you have seen these goals implemented, whether as a patient or professionally. Talk about steps taken to improve methods.

rite a 1,500-word paper on the following: Describe the current health care environment in the United States from both the health care administrator and the patient perspective. What are some recent changes in legislation and how does this change influence the way that an administrator would operate within the health care system? What are current trends emerging in health care? Using the current trends, speculate on future of health care risk management from both the perspective of the health care administrator and patient.

Define what is normally referred to as the "national standards rule" and "the locality rule" in describing the norms and expectations of appropriate medical care in the United States. In what instances, if any, should the locality rule prevail over the national standards rule? Further, is it practicable to have a national standards rule over the locality rule in the real world where the amount and kind of real resources does vary from one locale to another? Should these rules (either or both) apply to non-physicians as well as physicians?
