In a study of high school students at least 16 years of age, researchers obtained survey results summarized in the accompanying table (based on data from Texting While Driving and Other Risky Motor Vehicle Behaviors Among U.S. High School Students, by OMalley, Shults, and Eaton, Pediatrics, Vol. 131, No. 6).
Use a 0.05 significance level to test, by hand, the claim of independence between texting while driving and irregular seat belt use:
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses, indicate the significance level and the type of test (left-, right-, or two-tailed test).
(b) Calculate by hand the test statistic
(c) Use the χ2 table to identify the critical value
(d) Use the test statistic and critical value to explain whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected.
(e) Make a concluding statement.
(f) Are those two risky behaviors independent of each other?

You have just been hired as the new treasurer of an Australian
firm called Sun Solar Panels (SSP). SSP produces commercial solar
panels. It is a well established brand in both the UK and
New Zealand. In fact, it distributes (sells) its entire output to
UK and New Zealand retailers. These sales are made through SSP’s UK
and New Zealand subsidiaries which act as distributors of the
product. Each wholesale transaction in the UK is settled in GBP and
each wholesale transaction in New Zealand is settled in NZD. SSP's
board is made up of seven directors. Four of these directors are
family members who founded the business. Three are from outside the
family but also from solar panels’ sales backgrounds. None have any
finance or accounting education or experience. The raw materials
used to make the solar panels are sourced from Indonesia. The solar
panels are manufactured in Australia.
About 30% of manufacturing costs can be attributed to labour, 50%
to raw material costs and 20% to other expenses (factory space,
electricity etc.). Based on current exchange rates and
cost structures, the average wholesale price of a commercial solar
panel is AUD$10 000 and the cost to manufacture such a panel is
AUD$5,000. SSP strives to maintain this margin.
Average order size is 20 solar panels. The manufacture and sales
processes work as follows:
Step 1: a UK or New Zealand retailer enters into a sales contract
with SSP's local subsidiary (ie.
SSP's New Zealand or UK subsidiary). The sales contract stipulates
that delivery will occur in
three months. The price in local currency (ie. GBP or NZD) is also
stipulated in the contract.
Step 2: After the sales contract is executed, SSP immediately
orders raw materials from
Indonesia. This order stipulates a six week delivery of raw
materials and the price of the raw
materials which is denominated in IDR.
Step 3: After receiving the raw materials and settling the account
with the Indonesian supplier
in IDR, the company manufactures the product as per the sales
contract and ships the product
off to the UK or New Zealand.
Step 4: After receiving the finished product, the UK or New Zealand
customer pays for the
goods. SSP is about to engage in a new investment project which it
will fund through a debt
facility of AUD$100 million and wants protection against increases
in interest rates over the next
five years. SSP also has purchased 10 fixed income securities using
retained earnings each with
a face value of AUD$1 million with five years to maturity and a
coupon rate of 10% paid once
per annum. The issuer has a call provision which enables them to
prepay the debt at any time.
Currently the Company has no definitive strategies on managing
financial risk.
Your task (Report Part I):
Your mandate (task for this assessment item) is to prepare a
‘Business Case’ with recommendations for your board that pitches
the need for a systematic financial risk management strategy and
the financial derivatives and tools that could be used as part of
this strategy. The business case should focus on the next 12 month
period. This business case should be
prepared as a report. The structure of the report should be
appropriate to your audience, include an executive summary and
address each of the following questions.
Question 1
Clearly outline the reasons why SSP’s board should have a financial
risk management strategy in place.
Question 2
For risks associated with the ordering and sales process described
above:
1. Identify and explain the financial risk that SSP is potentially
exposed to. Use examples of possible scenarios that may occur for
SSP to illustrate the nature of these risks.
2. Using examples, explain how the risk can be managed using
futures.
3. Aside from a futures based risk management strategy, you should
identify and explain three additional risk management strategies
using three alternative Over-The-Counter
(OTC) derivatives.

A. [#1] ______________ costs are a type of expense an organization must pay for regardless of the number of clients served, for example, a mortgage on a facility. In contrast, additional expense associated with serving one client, for example tongue depressors in a health clinic or beverages served during an airplane flight are called[#2] ______________ costs; these costs vary in accordance with the number of people served.
B. Some organizations provide services that are consumed collectively, for example, by passengers on an airplane flight or train or by students in a high school classroom. Expenses for airline or a train personnel or high school teachers are fixed in the intermediate term, so they are referred to as [#3] __________________ costs. Together, truly fixed costs and costs that are fixed in the intermediate term establish a[#4] ______________________ that must be budgeted and paid for even if only one or a few clients are served. In other words, if a plane is going to fly, the plane and crew must be available. Making the necessary minimum expenditure permits one or more clients to be served.
C. A per pupil, per inmate, per client, or per passenger expenditure is an average cost that often is referred to as a [#5] _____________ cost. This type of cost declines as additional users (e.g. jail inmates) are accommodated within existing capacity (e.g. a jail). Per inmate expenditures are high in Maine because many jails have very small to small capacities, which causes [#6] _______________________ of small scale that drive up unit costs. A reasonably large jail like the Cumberland County Jail achieve cost savings from
[#7] ______________________________ of larger scale, while a slightly larger but not hugely greater jail size would likely achieve more returns to scale (unit cost savings). When facilities are too large diseconomies of very large scale emerge.
D. School funding formulas usually grant assistance on a per pupil (average cost) basis. This linear funding approach assumes that each student served requires an equal number of dollars to educate. When a new student enters a school district, the formula assumes that the district will need to increase spending by the average per pupil cost. Another way to think about this average costing approach is that all costs are treated as variable. In fact, the [#8] ____________________ cost associated with serving one additional student may be close to zero if there is space available in the school.

E. An airplane has a given number of seats or a [#9] __________________ that permits a maximum number of passengers and crew members to travel. When only a small number of seats are filled, there is low [#10] _________________________.
F. Small, rural public schools and university campuses in low population density locations may face high unit costs due to a combination of small [#11] __________________ and seats in classrooms not being filled.
G. Demand for public services derives in part from [#12] _________________________ of the population served that occur when individuals and/or households are unable to achieve a reasonable standard of living or require compensatory services to achieve their potential. In contrast, demands also arise from [#13] ____________________________ of the population that tend to vary with income level; this component of spending demand is not characterized as a remedy for circumstances that are beyond the individual’s or household’s control.
H. The number of residents in a community often is an important source of spending demand. However, to accurately forecast spending, factors that affect the number of units of service to be delivered must be considered. Accurately sizing water systems and sewerage treatment and estimating demand for emergency response capacity (fire and emergency medical) and policing requires the analyst to consider the size of the combined resident and non-resident [#14] ___________________________.
I. When demands for spending exceed revenue capacity, a state or local government is unable to pay for all needed services. In a [#15] ___________________ system of government, vastly differing sizes and resource capacities of governments ensure that there will be mismatches between spending requirements and revenue capacity.
