Assume Jinan University and an American Professor signed a contract for a summer business arrangement. In the contract, the professor promised to teach for the summer in Guangzhou, and in return, Jinan University promised to pay the professor $1 million. In preparation for the arrival of the professor, Jinan paid $20,000 for a fancy Guangzhou apartment for the professor. Jinan also bought $2,000 plane tickets, $500 in weekend tours, and $200 in equipment for the professor.

In addition, Jinan spent $12,000 in advertising, showing possible students that the professor was coming to teach. 500 students saw the advertising. Each paid $20,000 to Jinan to enroll. The students gave up the opportunity to attend a different program in Guangzhou. The other program would have cost each student $30,000.

All of the students fly to Guangzhou, spending $2,500 on airfare. Each also paid $10,000 for excellent apartments near the university. The university was ready to go.

Then the night before classes start, the professor calls and says he decided not to come. In the above story, who can sue whom? What will each party argue in each case? What legal concepts are involved from our class? Discuss how much (if anything) different parties would pay. Explain. Be thorough. Please also be specific.

Facebook Investigation Scenario Part 1 Spring 2017 Note: the following scenario is fictional as are all parties named in the story Initial Complaint: March 20, 2017– 8:41 AM.

Mary Jones, a junior at the University of New Haven has contacted local police stating that sometime between midnight on October 11th, 2016 and 8 am on March 20, 2017, her ex-fiancé, Pete Sampson, posted semi-nude pictures of Ms. Jones on his Facebook page and also called Ms. Jones several derogatory names on Facebook. Ms. Jones is very upset as many other students at the university have already seen and commented on her picture on Facebook. She feels that Mr. Sampson posted the picture as a way of harassing and humiliating her. As a criminal justice major, Ms. Jones is worried that Mr. Sampson’s postings may hurt her future career so she has contacted the local authorities.

In-person interview with Mary Jones: March 20, 2017– 9:30 am

Mary Jones is a 20-year-old criminal justice major at the University of New Haven in her junior year at the school. At approximately 8:00 am this morning, one of her friends texted Ms. Jones and asked her if she had checked out her ex- fiancé, Peter Sampson’s, Facebook page. When Ms. Jones loaded Mr. Sampson’s Facebook page she found a semi-nude picture of herself as well as derogatory comments about herself. When questioned about the origin of the picture, Ms. Jones stated that she had “sexted” the photo to Mr. Sampson sometime in the fall of 2014 when she and Mr. Sampson had just started to date. Ms. Jones also stated that she was only 17 years old at the time of the picture. Upon further questioning, Ms. Jones explained that she had Mr. Sampson had met in early September of their freshman year and had started dating immediately. While they had become engaged over the previous summer, Ms. Jones had broken off the engagement several weeks ago and had begun dating Mr. Sampson’s roommate, Michael Davis. Ms. Jones felt that Mr. Sampson had posted the picture in retaliation to her ending their relationship and that the purpose of Mr. Sampson posting the picture was to harass her and to cause harm to her reputation and to her potential career in law enforcement.

In-person interview with Peter Sampson: March 20, 2017 – 2:45 pm.

Peter Sampson is a 21-year-old criminal justice major in his junior year at the University of New Haven. During the interview, which took place in Mr. Sampson’s dorm room, Mr. Sampson confirmed that he and Ms. Jones had dated and that the relationship ended abruptly several weeks ago when Mr. Sampson discovered Ms. Jones in bed with Mr. Sampson’s roommate, Michael Davis. While Mr. Sampson was still visibly angry with Ms. Jones, he denied having anything to do with posting her picture and making comments about Ms. Jones on his Facebook page. Mr. Sampson further stated that following his discovery of Ms. Jones with Mr. Davis, Mr. Sampson deleted all of the digital photos he had of Ms. Jones as well as all correspondence between himself and Ms. Jones. Mr. Sampson claims to have used one Toshiba laptop computer that was a high school graduation gift for the past 3 years and that no one else has had access to the laptop over the past 24-hour period. When asked if anyone else had access to his computer in the past, Mr. Sampson stated that in Spring semester of 2016 he had loaned the laptop to his roommate, Michael Davis, so Mr. Davis could complete a paper because Mr. Davis’s laptop computer had been damaged and Mr. Davis had not yet gotten a new computer. Mr. Sampson again adamantly denied posting Ms. Jones’s picture on his Facebook page though he admitted that he had left the picture on his page until contacted by law enforcement. When asked who he thought might have posted the picture, Mr. Sampson stated that he believed that his roommate, Michael Davis, had posted the picture to get back at Mr. Sampson because of continuing hostilities between the two roommates following Mr. Sampson’s discovery of Ms. Jones with Mr. Davis. Officers did notice that Mr. Sampson had several “sticky” notes on his desk that contained his passwords for several online accounts including that of Facebook. As officers were preparing to leave, Mr. Sampson’s roommate, Michael Davis, returned to the room. When questioned about Mr. Sampson’s allegations that Mr. Davis had posted Ms. Jones picture, Mr. Davis denied any knowledge of the picture or of Mr. Sampson’s Facebook password. Mr. Davis stated that Mr. Sampson was trying to “pin” the posting of the picture of Ms. Jones on him in an attempt to get Ms. Jones back. When officers asked Mr. Davis about using Mr. Sampson’s laptop the previous Spring, Mr. Davis claimed that he did not remember whether or not he had ever used Mr. Sampson’s computer. Mr. Davis then stated he had to go to class and abruptly left.

Company A on 1 January 2014 issued a bond that required it to pay an annual coupon of €800 in
arrears and to repay the principal of €10,000 on 31 December 2023. By 2019, Company A was in
significant financial difficulties and was unable to pay the coupon due on 31 December 2019. On 1
January 2020, Company X estimates that the holder could expect to receive a single payment of
€4,000 at the end of 2021. It acquires the bond at an arm’s length price of €3,000. Company X
determines that the debt instrument is credit-impaired on initial recognition, because of evidence of
significant financial difficulty of Company A and because the debt instrument was purchased at a
deep discount.
Requirements :
a. Calculate the EIR using the estimated cash flows of the instrument
b. Calculate the interest income would be recognised on the instrument during 2020
c. Determine the carrying amount at the end of the year 2020
d. Assumed that at the end of the year based on reasonable and supportable evidence, the
cash flow expected to be received on the instrument had increase to €4,250 (still to be
received at the end of 2021), determine the carrying amount and impairment gain/loss.
e. Assumed that at the end of the year based on reasonable and supportable evidence, the
cash flow expected to be received on the instrument had increase to €3,500 (still to be
received at the end of 2021), determine the carrying amount and impairment gain/loss.

There is not a cure for HIV yet, but there is an effective treatment for reducing the likelihood of transmission of HIV from an infected mother to her unborn child (or born child, through breast milk). In the absence of treatment, the likelihood of transmission averages about 25%. In collaboration with Eastern Mediterranean University Faculty of Pharmacy, a Cyprus based, private pharmaceutical company KuntePharma develop a new drug called HIV-OFF. Researchers from the university and KuntePharma, travel to X country in Africa and ask 200 pregnant HIV-positive mothers there to participate in a trial for a new drug that reduces, “from mother to child” HIV transmission. It is said that, the reasons of choosing Africa are: “Compared to Cyprus it would cost much less and the fact that laws and regulations allow more flexibility to conduct the research in the X country”. The give 100 women a placebo, and they give 100 women HIV-LESS. Of the 100 HIV-LESS children, only 1 contract HIV. Of the 100 placebo children, 44 do. In this study, 45 children contract HIV, when it is likely that, if all the participants were given HIV-LESS, less would have. Are the scientists morally responsible for the transmission of HIV to more children in this trial? Remembering the concepts Consent, Placebo, Risk-benefit-harm, The Rights of the Patients, exploitation; respect for persons and utilitarian approaches and others that you might think relevant to this case, which were discussed during the course, discuss if this trial is ethical? You might compare the dynamics of this case with historic examples that caused drastic changes in understanding of experimentations on human beings and formed the present day ethical principles and laws.

Your blood belongs to one of four genetically determined types: O, A, B, or AB. A bulletin issued by a large blood bank claims that these four blood types are distributed in the U.S. population according to the following proportions: 0.44 are type O, 0.41 are type A, 0.10 are type B, and 0.05 are type AB. Let’s treat this claim as a null hypothesis to be test with a random sample of 100 students from a large university. The data collection results of each blood type from the university showed 38 for O and A, 20 for B, and 4 for AB.

A) What is the statistical hypothesis? (Ho and Ha)

B) Find an expected frequency for each expected proportion.

C) Solve for chi-square test statistic.

D) Find the degrees of freedom.

E) Identify the chi-square value from the table.

F) What is the conclusion?
