Answer The Questions Below By Using The File For Reference And Information:

Answer the questions below by using the file for reference and information:

  • 1) What is a credit default swap (CDS)? Consider the cash-flow pattern of the CDS in Exhibit 2 of From free lunch to black hole: Credit Default Swaps at AIG  Can you set up a trading strategy using long and short positions of the default-free floating rate bond and the defaultable floating rate bond that replicates the cash flow pattern of the CDS? Given the coupon rate on the defaultable floating rate bond, can you determine the CDS rate based on the law of one price?
  • 2) Review Exhibits 3-6 of From free lunch to black hole: Credit Default Swaps at AIG. What was AIG's role in the process of mortgage securitization? How did the Bistro deal work? How does the mortgage securitization work? What are super-senior tranches and what is their purpose?

  • 3) How risky are BBB-tranches in the first layer of securitization?
  • 4) How risky are super-senior tranches in the second layer? Should one view a super-senior tranche as safer than an AAA-rated corporate bond?
  • 5) Is it possible that AIG could experience big losses on its super-senior CDS positions? Are collateral calls justified?

    According To Jack, Managers Should Devote A Lot Of Time, Energy, And Money To Your

    According to Jack, managers should devote a lot of time, energy, and money to your A and A-minus players, and to let your C players go. By contrast, Patty McCord dislikes the term "A players" and she writes: "Sometimes it's important to let even people who have done a great job go, in order to make space for high performers in new functions or with different skills."

    Discuss your ideas about talent management, using the prompts below:

    • What do you think about the concept of investing in your "A players" more than other employees? Is it still relevant in today's business environment?
    • Do management practices in your organization align more to Welch or McCord's approach to talent management?
    • Based on this week's articles, describe one change you would recommend in managing talent at your organization. How would this change produce better results?

      2.  consider and answer the following on how profit(loss) is allocated per entity. 

      The entity in question earned $1 million in profits for the fiscal year.  Discuss how this profit is allocated with the following entities:

      1. Sole Proprietor, who receives this profit?

      2. Partnership, two partners, no agreement on profit(loss) allocation regarding the $1 million in profit for this fiscal year.  How would you suggest a 'reasonable allocation' be for the distribution of profit(loss) be for the partner in charge of operations be versus the 'capital partner?

      3. Corporations, who gets the profits in a corporate form?  Would a corporation be required to distribute profits, if not, then who gets the profits? perhaps the reason for the account 'retained earnings.

      4. Limited Liability Company (don't consider the 'S' corporation for this, who gets the $1 million in profit for this 'pass through' entity?  You can assume that there was a managing partner, and 9 such limited partners. Let's have the managing partner, operations partner work for a salary.  If the entity turns in a profit, then the managing, operations partner will share equally with the limited partners.

        Your niece just started her college career with a major in economics She is curious

        Your niece just started her college career with a major in economics. She is curious as to the interrelationship between the success of an economy and the financial markets, concepts, and financial institutions. Accordingly, she has developed a list of questions addressing these issues and has asked that you explain the ideas. What are the financial markets and what purposes do they serve? What are financial intermediaries? How do these intermediaries function in the economy? What is a federal government budget deficit? What is the national debt? How does a budget deficit affect the economy? She is also curious about the time value of money concepts. Specifically, she has the following questions about these concepts: Why are consumers considered to be risk averse? What methods could be used to deal with risk? It has been said that a dollar received today is worth more than a dollar received tomorrow. What does this mean and what is the significance to the economy? What is the difference between the present value of a future sum of money and the future value of a present sum of money? What is the significance of these concepts to economics? If you deposited $1,000 in an account paying 6% interest compounded annually, how long would it take to double? Deliverables: Prepare a 5-6 page Microsoft Word document that addresses the above-noted concerns and meets APA standards. Include a summary section in your report that contains 5-7 bullet points identifying your major findings or conclusions of your paper.
