1 Mrs Mary Atkins Age 66 Has Been Your Firm S Client For Five Years Since The Death 2280228

/in /by

1. Mrs. Mary Atkins, age 66, has been your firm’s client for five years, since the death of her husband, Dr. Charles Atkins. Dr. Atkins had built a successful newspaper business that he sold two years before his death to Merit Enterprises, a publishing and broadcasting conglomerate, in exchange for Merit common stock. The Atkinses have no children, and their wills provide that upon their deaths the remaining assets shall be used to create a fund for the benefit of Good Samaritan Hospital, to be called the Atkins Endowment Fund.

Good Samaritan is a 180-bed, not-for-profit hospital with an annual operating budget of $12.5 million. In the past, the hospital’s operating revenues have often been sufficient to meet operating expenses and occasionally even generate a small surplus. In recent years, however, rising costs and declining occupancy rates have caused Good Samaritan to run a deficit. The operating deficit has averaged $300,000 to $400,000 annually over the last several years. Existing endowment assets (that is, excluding the Atkins’s estate) of $7.5 million currently generate approximately $375,000 of annual income, up from less than $200,000 five years ago. This increased income has been the result of somewhat higher interest rates, as well as a shift in asset mix toward more bonds. To offset operating deficits, the Good Samaritan Board of Governors has determined that the endowment’s current income should be increased to approximately 6% of total assets (up from 5% currently). The hospital has not received any significant additions to its endowment assets in the past five years.

Identify and describe an appropriate set of investment objectives and constraints for the

Atkins Endowment Fund to be created after Mrs. Atkins’s death.

1 Pick A Single Offence Type That You Are Interested In Researching In Depth E G Mur 2759032

/in /by

1) Pick a single offence type that you are interested in researching in depth (e.g. murder, car theft, fraud, etc.)

2) Conduct research about your offence type, specifically looking at ideas/theories concerning why the crime occurs (causation) with regard to a particular criminology theory that we have covered during the semester (e.g. strain theory, biological determinism).

3) Select the theory that you think best explains why/how this offence occurs.

4) In your essay, you are required to explain the links between your chosen offence and the crime causation theory that you have selected. Outline the reasons why you think that this is the best explanatory model.

5) To strengthen your analysis, compare the best theory you have chosen with two other theories and discuss why it is the superior approach in explaining your offence. For example, you may decide that strain theory is a better explanatory model in accounting for car theft than labelling theory. Outline the reasons that you think this – do not simply tell the reader which is better – you must explain whyas well.

6) In your conclusion, suggest one potential policy response that may help reduce/address the crime that you have researched. This suggestion should be broadly consistent with your theoretical analysis. For example, if you have chosen serial murder and explained it with reference to biological determinism, you may suggest compulsory psychological screening for young offenders convicted of a violent offence.

Research essay Value: 40% Length: 2000 words The research essay is the major piece of work for the semester and marks the student’s debut as a junior criminologist. Each student will select one particular type of criminal offence (e.g. assault, car theft, financial fraud) and choose whichever criminology theory studied in the semester that can best explain it. The research essay requires students to conduct research about the chosen theory and offence using different academic sources, and analyse this research to explain the causes of crime. What to do: Pick a single offence type that you are interested in researching in depth (e.g. murder, car theft, fraud, etc.) Conduct research about your offence type, specifically looking at ideas/theories concerning why the crime occurs (causation) with regard to a particular criminology theory that we have covered during the semester (e.g. strain theory, biological determinism).

1 On November 2 201 7 Scannell Ltd Issued A 200 Million Five Year Maturity Cds Liabi 2843573

/in /by

1. On November 2, 2017, Scannell, LTD., issued a $200 million, five-year maturity CDs(liability) denominated in Dollars at an interest rate of 2.25 percent. The CDs pay interest annually and the principal value of $200 million at maturity. Also on November 2, 2017, Scannell invested $150 million in a Rouble (?)-denominated ten-year maturity loan with an annual interest rate of 11 percentand $50 million was invested in a ten-year maturity U.S. Treasury note with an interest rate of 2.34 percent. The Rouble denominated loan pays interest annually with the principal paid at maturity (remember this loan contract is denominated in Rouble (?)). The ten-year U.S. Treasury note pays interest semiannually. The exchange rate on November 2, 2017 was ?59.0141/$. The exchange rate on November 2, 2018 was ?66.0468/$. Market interest rates in the U.S. for four-year maturity CDs on November 2, 2018 are 2.50 percent, the current market yield to maturity for an 9-year maturity U.S Treasuries is 3.20 percent, and the interest rate on an 9-year maturity Russian loan increased from 11 percent on the loan when originated on November 2, 2017 to a market rate of 13 percent on November 2, 2018. Thus, values of both assets and liabilities decline since interest rates increased in both Russia and the U.S. Note that the values of each of the balance sheet assets and liabilities change because of changes in market interest rates, changing time to maturities and changes in exchange rates.Fill in the table below for the balance sheets in Dollars and Rouble (?). Since Scannell, LTD was exposed to both interest rate risk and exchange rate risk, what were the gains or losses resulting from interest rate changes, maturity changes and the gains or losses due to exchange rate changes?
