Case Study #2.Be sure to answer the following questions in the paper.No plagiarism tolerated!

Questions: 1. Read all of Mantri (2011). He discusses a variety of topics and sub-topics that characterize the “New Terrorism.” Mantri (2011) writes that the United States has been more successful in the socializing of immigrants than Europe has (pp. 90-91). This lack of social integration was in fact cited recently as a cause of the November 2015 Paris attacks, when it was discovered that the attackers hailed from a neighborhood in Brussels known to hold a largely disenfranchised population. Then: a. Identify three (3) social theories for terrorismb. Identify three (3) psychological theories for terrorism.

In your explanation, provide explanations where possible to help relate the concepts. Your response must be more than a mere listing or defining of terms, but should be well articulate, academic explanation of the theories presented by sociologists/psychologists.

2. Mantri (2011) explains that inside information from friends and family was the best intelligence to warn of impending terror incidences (p. 93).The two most-used tools in the fight against terrorism, however, have inarguably been the United States Department of Defense, and legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act and USA FREEDOM Act.Given this, please: a. Briefly identify the primary legislation that is currently in place, and identify at least three tools of that legislation that are used as counterterrorism tools. b. Chose one (1) of the tools listed and identify one (1) case where it was used as a successful counterterrorism tool.

3. Mantri (2011) states, “The threat from Islamic terror is not going to be defeated by waging a conventional or sub-conventional war.” (p. 94) This leads to the point that the power behind jihadism is the ideology. Using all available resources: a. Identify any and all key components of jihadi ideology. (What is the core of ideas behind it?). b. Identify at least three key ways to deal with the ideology that are non-kinetic (done without bullets or bombs). (This can come from case examples, prominent theories, or your own concepts. There must be academic rooting in your response, however. Do not just make up ideas, but use valid examples, theories,

methods).

4. This article bounces around from domestic terrorism to international terrorism references, and covers a large part of history in a very short period of time. Please, using all available resources: a. Define domestic terrorism from a United States’ legal perspective. b. Define international terrorism from a United States’ legal perspective. c. Identify at least five (5) categories of terrorist groups and give at least two (2) groups as examples for each

You will provide a case study analysis report.

4. Income Effects on Exchange Rates Assume that the U.S. income level rises at a much higher rate than does the Canadian income level. Other things being equal, how should this affect the (a) U.S. demand for Canadian dollars, (b) supply of Canadian dollars for sale, and (c) equilibrium value of the Canadian dollar?

16. Economic Impact on Capital Flows How do you think the weaker U.S. economic conditions could affect capital flows? If capital flows are affected, how would this influence the value of the dollar (holding other factors constant)?

7. Speculating with Currency Options When should a speculator purchase a call option on Australian dollars? When should a speculator purchase a put option on Australian dollars?

25. Estimating Profits from Currency Futures and Options One year ago, you sold a put option on 100,000 euros with an expiration date of 1 year. You received a premium on the put option of $.04 per unit. The exercise price was $1.22. Assume that 1 year ago, the spot rate of the euro was $1.20, the 1-year forward rate exhibited a discount of 2 percent, and the 1-year futures price was the same as the 1-year forward rate. From 1 year ago to today, the euro depreciated against the dollar by 4 percent. Today the put option will be exercised (if it is feasible for the buyer to do so).

a. Determine the total dollar amount of your profit or loss from your position in the put option.

b. Now assume that instead of taking a position in the put option 1 year ago, you sold a futures contract on 100,000 euros with a settlement date of 1 year. Determine the total dollar amount of your profit or loss.

6. Currency Effects on Economy What is the impact of a weak home currency on the home economy, other things being equal? What is the impact of a strong home currency on the home economy, other things being equal?

19. Pegged Currencies Why do you think a country suddenly decides to peg its currency to the dollar or some other currency? When a currency is unable to maintain the peg, what do you think are the typical forces that break the peg?

18. Limitations of Covered Interest Arbitrage Assume that the 1-year U.S. interest rate is 11 percent, while the 1-year interest rate in Malaysia is 40 percent. Assume that a U.S. bank is willing to purchase the currency of that country from you 1 year from now at a discount of 13 percent. Would covered interest arbitrage be worth considering? Is there any reason why you should not attempt covered interest arbitrage in this situation? (Ignore tax effects.)

27. Interpreting Changes in the Forward Premium Assume that interest rate parity holds. At the beginning of the month, the spot rate of the Canadian dollar is $.70, while the 1-year forward rate is $.68. Assume that U.S. interest rates increase steadily over the month. At the end of the month, the 1-year forward rate is higher than it was at the beginning of the month. Yet, the 1-year forward discount is larger (the 1-year premium is more negative) at the end of the month than it was at the beginning of the month. Explain how the relationship between the U.S. interest rate and the Canadian interest rate changed from the beginning of the month until the end of the month.

28. Go to Yahoo! Finance’s Website, located at http://finance.yahoo.com/, and select a publicly traded company which interests you. Determine the company’s symbol (i.e., Apple = APPL) and navigate to the “SEC Filings” link on the left-hand side of the page under “COMPANY”. Review the debt structure of the company you have chosen by reading the company’s latest quarterly report and determining whether it has any convertible bonds or long-term debt. Recommend two actions that the selected company can take in order to optimize its capital structure. Provide a rationale for your recommendation.

CASE STUDY 

Need to prepare an individual report required to write a reflective two-part essay connecting a previous problematic work or non-work experience/event to relevant theoretical course content covered in weeks 1-8. Assignments should be in the range of (+/-1

/in /by

For this component of the course students are required to write a reflective two-part essay connecting

a previous problematic work or non-work experience/event to relevant theoretical course content

covered in weeks 1-8. Assignments should be in the range of (+/-10%) 500 words for Part 1 and in the

range of 1500 words for part two – excluding appendices and bibliography but including in-text

citations.

Part 1: Provide a concise summary of what happened in this particular situation.

Part 2 Apply relevant unit concepts and theory (with appropriate referencing) to explain why the

particular event/s occurred. For example students may wish to draw on process theories of motivation

such as expectancy theory or goal setting theory to explain why they were demotivated in a job or at

school. Alternatively they may draw on justice theory to explain a situation of perceived injustice and

lack of motivation.

This assignment must be submitted via Turnitin. Students will be assessed on their use of relevant unit

content including theory and theoretical concepts. A key component of this assignment is to

demonstrate clear and robust understanding of how the event or series of events they are discussing

connect to theory and concepts covered in the unit which students should explain in Part 2.

Assignments lacking demonstrated analysis and theoretical application will score poorly. Style of

expression will also be evaluated (including grammar and spelling). Students must use the Chicago 16

Referencing system. Assignments that use references inaccurately or fail to use referencing will be

penalized accordingly. The use of Wikipedia online encyclopaedia is discouraged.

Students will be provided with feedback on their performance in the assignment through Blackboard

under ‘My Grades’ in order to facilitate further development of learning.

A marking rubric for this activity is posted on Blackboard for students’ reference in planning their

presentation and related activities.

Special Notes from Professor

“When you post in a class like this, and especially in the Masters class, the instructor and your fellow minions, want to see solid material based upon companies that you’ve worked for or currently working and your experiences relative to the question in the Discussion question. Please avoid using textbook or wiki wordings that are sterile and have no descriptive comments. What I want to see is you (YOU) in the facility management setting and how you would handle given conditions set forth by myself in the Modules.“
