What is Intra-firm trade? Why might US firms be interested in investing abroad, setting up affiliates, producing parts and components of their products, and import from their own affiliates? Wouldn't it be easier to allow a foreign firm to produce the components and export those to the US? Clarify your answer by using the example of the American Apparel manufacturers who get their garments made abroad in their affiliates and then sew their own labels and sell those finished garments back in the home market.

The current spot exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Yen is 113 (i.e., $1 buys 113 Yen). What is the “fair price” for a 12month forward contract (dollars for yen) if the US borrowing cost is 5% per annum and the investment return on a Yen denominated Certificate of Deposit is 1.0%?  Given the above information, would you purchase a forward contract offered at 105 Yen to the Dollar from your dealer or create a “synthetic forward contract” on your own? Why?

1. Complete Table 2 by calculating the expected deaths for Indiana (columns a and b) and Alaska (columns a and d) based on the standard population distribution of the US in 1992. The age-specific deaths are obtained from your calculations in Table 1.

Table 2

Column b will be taken directly from Table 1. Calculate the age-adjusted rates: Add the expected deaths for each state, i.e. columns (c) and (e). Divide the total expected deaths in each state by the total standard population of the US.

Calculate the age-adjusted rates: Add the expected deaths for each state, i.e. columns (c) and (e). Divide the total expected deaths in each state by the total standard population of the US.

The TED talk by Katherine Kuchenbecker was extremely controversial and brought about different aspects of robots and AI that I had previously never thought of. Throughout her video, she focuses on Haptics, which refers to touch technology. As we are aware, this is one of the things that differentiates us from robots, thus the controversial debate begins. Should we give robots the power to feel and touch, just like humans do? I believe that there are both positive and negative outcomes that can erupt from doing such a thing. On the one hand it can be beneficial in some medical fields such as dentistry in which people would become more experienced and knowledgeable before they actually begin their job as a dentist as they would be able to detect cavities based on their feel through this innovative technology. Another example that I enjoyed learning about and thought that was great was when it comes to exhibit museums. There are many instances in which we are not allowed to touch a work of art or sculpture and it is very hard to imagine how if would make us feel. If this were to be achieved through this new technology without actually having to touch the sculpture itself, it could really change and challenge the way we see and experience art. However, although there might be some positive aspects to this technology, there are also disadvantages that come with it. I really believe that feel and touch are senses that differentiate us from robots and it is a difference that makes us special and unique. I think that giving up this privilege could bring about negative consequences within society and provide people with fake and false confidence. I think that if this technology develops, we have to be careful with the way we manage it and we should consider not completely giving up all of the things that make us unique and special such as the fact that we can touch and feel.

A candy manufacturer sells bags of chocolate treats that are supposed to be half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate. The CEO opens a bag of the chocolate treats and tells his factory supervisor that he thinks that the types of chocolate are not evenly split in the bag. The supervisor randomly selects several bags, examines 300 of the chocolates, and finds that 56% of the 300 chocolates he examined are dark chocolate.

Use Excel to test whether the true proportion of dark chocolates is different from 50%. Identify the p-value, rounding to three decimal places.

You need to choose Company ABC’s company vehicle. You have two options: Mercedes or Acura.

Once purchased, assume Company ABC keeps purchasing the same type of vehicle as soon as the useful life is over. John Smith (CEO) says both of these vehicles give him the same level of satisfaction and it all depends on the annualized cost of the car.

Mercedes:

Initial Costs = $100,000

Operating Expenses = $15,000 per year

Has a 4 year life, after which it will sell for $15,500

Acura:

Initial Costs = $85,000

Operating Expenses = $17,600 per year

Has a 3 year life, after which it will sell for $10,100
