You are a US firm and expect to receive 10,000,000 Malaysian Ringitt (MR) from a customer for sure after six months. How would you achieve a complete hedge if you had the following: Spot rate $0.22/MR, six month US$ risk-free rate = 2.5 percent and six month MR risk-free rate is 3.5 percent. Describe the transactions in detail. 2 Suppose the payment in MR from your customer is not certain, and, in addition to the spot and risk-free rates mentioned above, you also have an options market in which MR calls trade. How would you construct the appropriate hedge in this case? Describe the transactions in detail.

This HW from my English class but not Psychology. The Prof wants us to give 10 example of extraordinary situations, but I do not understand what is extraordinary situation means. Please explain it and come up with 10 of the extraordinary situations. Thanks.

Assume that Netflix can charge European users a different price from US users, but that the costs of providing programming to each user increases as the total number of users increases. Specifically, the U.S. has demand:

??? = 22 − (3/2) ???

And Europe has demand:

?? = 12 − ??

And Netflix’s cost function is: ? = 30 + 5(??? + ?? ) + (1/2) (??? + ??) 2

Resulting in marginal cost: ?? = 5 + (??? + ??) Identify the optimal price(s), quantities of customers, and resulting profits for this third-degree price discriminating firm.

Research the Ahlstrom corporation. What is Ahlstrom’s strategy in the transmission of culture? Do you think Ahlstrom would have as clear a strategy and follow it so closely if the firm were in a commodity area? Do you think that Ahlstrom is encouraged to pursue its strategy so closely because it is in a small country like Finland? Go beyond Ahlstrom: Why would a firm that has a well-defined strategy perform better than a firm without one?

The Covid-19 pandemic creates opportunities and threats for practically every business in every industry. What strategic approach should a company pursue when dealing with a Black Swan event such as this? Why? While all companies have different criteria regarding the specific strategic decisions that will be made, ethical decisions are also very relevant and should be more consistent across industries and companies. Indeed, in many cases ethical decisions are likely the most important as the heath of employees, customers, and their families are at risk. If you were the CEO of a non-essential retail business, how would you handle the current crisis? Assume that simply shutting down the business for over 30 days would place the company at serious risk of bankruptcy.

Case 1: John Snyder

John Snyder is VP of International Manufacturing for GoodChem USA, and has recently signed a deal to build a major new chemical manufacturing plant in Southeast Asia. He is working through the final details of the proposal with Alex, the appointed Director of the new facility, when a letter arrives from Tang Chen, the VP for International Affairs at GuddoKagaku, the joint venture company that helped GoodChem work through the red tape which often hampers foreign investors in Southeast Asia. Tang’s letter reminds John once again that neither he nor Tang was happy with the decision that had been made by the two companies to not install US-style scrubbers in the production process. Tang realizes that there was no legal requirement, and that installation of the scrubbers would cost them time and money, which may be critical in securing the competitive edge over the domestic producers – an edge that would make the venture viable. But he is still concerned over the environmental impact this will have on his country. As a side note, he also mentions that he has heard rumors that a powerful and well-connected environmental activist group is preparing to make the actions of GoodChem their next big PR scandal. Alex is anxious to secure the Director’s position and points out that none of the domestic producers have scrubbers in place, and that should the venture not meet the expectations of senior management, it would be Alex’s career, not John’s, on the line. Alex also reminds John that if this project is successful, it will most likely secure John’s place in the race for CEO. But John keeps thinking of Tang’s closing remarks that ask John to think of his children before he makes a last decision not to install the scrubbers.

QUESTIONS

1. Would John want his family to live next to a plant without scrubbers?

2. What is the short-term cost/long-term risk trade-off in not installing scrubbers?

3. In what instances is it acceptable to adhere to host country standards that are less stringent

   than those of a company’s home country?
