the story of options and the development of the Black-Scholes formula is intertwined with the story of international financial markets and investment and global financial crisis. Although B-S was originally developed for pricing stock options, the formula that we have been using in class for currency options is virtually identical. Specifically, except for the Tr e − * term that discounts by the foreign interest rate, and of course the fact that the underlying asset is a foreign currency rather than a share of stock, the formulas are exactly the same. In addition to the development of the B-S formula, the video brings together many concepts that we have seen in class this semester, including (in no particular order): - Replicating portfolio and no-arbitrage pricing - Market efficiency vs. forecasting - Statistical methods for characterizing returns and measuring risk - Risk transfer role of derivatives and hedging - Derivatives trading and exchanges - International capital flows and investment - Currency crisis and contagion Besides these, the video also gives a great glimpse into the world of academic finance, the inner workings of financial markets and institutions, and the nature of financial crises. While you are watching, note the similarity between what got us into trouble back then and what got us into trouble today (e.g., excessive debt/leverage to fuel a property boom, underassessment of risk and/or overconfidence in our ability to deal with risk, government bailouts, etc.). Choose any five (5) of the bullet points above and discuss the topic further by describing what we learned in class about the topic and linking it to specific parts of the video in which it is mentioned or occurs. A two to three paragraph discussion for each point should suffice, totaling 2-3 pages single spaced for he entire assignment .

The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital. The first measure taken by Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action. Write a four-to six-page double-spaced paper (excluding title and reference pages), addressing the following: Describe types of conflict identified in this case. Explain conflict management styles evidenced in this case. Propose a conflict resolution strategy to be used. Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities. Including an introduction and conclusion paragraph, your paper must be four to six double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. Utilize a minimum of three scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources, including the textbook, that were published within the last five years. .

The sound fixing and ranging layer in the ocean, or the SOFAR channel, is at a depth where the sound waves bend towards a region of minimum sound velocity due to refraction. This channeling of sound occurs because of the properties of sound and the temperature, and pressure differences at different depths in the ocean. There are many places where the sound waves can travel many thousands of meters without the signal losing significant energy. Keep in mind that the depth of the SOFAR channel varies with latitude. It is deepest in the subtropics and comes to the surface in high latitudes, where the sound propagates in the surface layer. Humans have taken advantage of this layer in many ways. One such use was the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) project. The U.S. Navy has an array of hydrophones, which were used in the past for deep ocean surveillance during the cold war, but have since been used for seismic monitoring, marine mammal monitoring, and for the ATOC project. In addition, before GPS , the SOFAR channel was used for locating ships and aircraft in distress as well as for tracking floats for the study of ocean currents. The use of the SOFAR channel is not without controversy. Respond to the following: Research the use of the SOFAR channel for military, research, and biological activities. Discuss why the use of SOFAR channel could be harmful to marine life. Be specific in your examples. .

The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy allows businesses and organizations to offer their products and services to customers and trading partners using a standards-based integration protocol. Web Services depends on SOA for delivery. SOA uses Extensible Markup Language (XML) to exchange data and information to its products and services consumers. One of the SOA characteristics is that the integration is loosely coupled, thus simplifying integration. Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you: 1.Analyze five (5) ways in which SOA reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO). 2.Examine five (5) ways in which using XML enables data and information exchange between clients and servers using Web Services in an SOA environment. 3.Compare and contrast the loosely coupled architecture to a tightly coupled architecture in terms of TCO, maintenance, and implementation issues. 4.Analyze three (3) advantages and three (3) disadvantages of using a standards-based integration strategy. 5.Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. .
