The Center for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) released a proposed rule on March 8, 2016, that would modify its reimbursement rate for Medicare Part B drugs. The new model is a mandatory demonstration project developed by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) that would be conducted across nearly all Primary Care Service Areas in the United States. This "one-size-fits-all" rule gives unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats - not the healthcare providers that we know and trust - the power to experiment with the lives of vulnerable seniors and the nationâs sickest patients.

Short Answer 1-8 [10 points each and each about 1/2 â 1 page double-spaced]:

1. If the spot rate for the Swiss Franc is that 1.05 SF is equal to 1 US $, and the annual interest rate on fixed rate one-year deposits of SF is 0.15% and for US$ is 1.5%, what is the nine-month forward rate for one dollar in terms of SFs? Assuming the same interest rates, what is the 18-month forward rate for one SF in US$s? Is this an indirect or a direct rate? If the forward rate is an accurate predictor of exchange rates, in this case will the SF get stronger or weaker against the dollar? What does this indicate about the marketâs inflation expectations for Switzerland as compared to the United States economy?

2. On June 1st, 2017, Sandoz expects to ship 3 million units of a new drug from its Swiss plant to the US that it will sell through pharmacies on 270-day terms at $95 each. Therefore Sandoz will receive payment from these outlets on February 25th, 2018. Assuming that Sandoz needs to cover its expenses in Switzerland and thus wants to hedge its SF/US$ exposure using a forward contract with a Swiss bank, what is the minimum amount of Swiss Francs they should receive on February 25th, 2018 given 9-month forward rate you calculated in problem one for one US $ in terms of SF? What are two other ways Sandoz might hedge its SF/US$ exposure?

3. In his book Manias, Panics and Crashes (see the Introduction and Chapters posted on the class website) Charles Kindleberger explains the three stages of how a financial crisis develops and evolves over time. Please briefly explain these stages and how the Baltic and Mexican Tequila Crises as presented in Hill text and class case presentation follow this economic pattern or paradigm.

4. Toyota, whose global sales are generally dollar denominated, finds it has excess cash of $85,000,000,000, which it can invest for up to three years. It has determined that its best options are either a three-year Euro-dollar ($) deposit paying 2.65% or a three-year Yen denominated deposit paying 1.55% since it expects the Yen to appreciate 1.2% per annum against the dollar over the next three years. Using cash flow analysis determine the best currency option in which Toyota should invest. Be sure to show your complete calculations of the annual return on each investment possibility at the end of the three-year term. Assume that the annual interest amount is reinvested, i.e. compounds, at the same annual interest rate. Would your answer change if Toyota revised its outlook for the Yen to appreciate 1.1% per year? Show all calculations!!!

5. Country A has 20,000 units of labor and can produce 2 goods, manufactures and food. Aâs producers take 5 units of labor to produce one unit of manufactures and 2 units to produce one unit of food. Country B has 30000 units of labor and takes 3 units to produce one unit of manufactures and 3 units to produce one unit of food. What is price of manufactures in terms of food at which A and B would respectively supply manufactures? What would B export in Adam Smithâs world? What is the amount it could supply?

6. Companies can be hurt by rapid changes in exchange rates even if their initial hedging actions appear reasonable. Explain how the VW case reflects this situation and what it could have done differently to manage the adverse impact of dollar depreciation. 7. Explain how Timberland developed global supply chain problems and then how they developed new logistical and partner relationships that used both IT and a changed physical distribution system to solve these issues.

Written Assignment: Biology and Technology in the Real World

Addresses course outcomes 1-4:

recognize and explain how the scientific method is used to solve problems

make observations and discriminate between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations

weigh evidence and make decisions based on strengths and limitations of scientific knowledge and the scientific method

use knowledge of biological principles, the scientific method, and appropriate technologies to ask relevant questions, develop hypotheses, design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and draw conclusions

1. Select one of the topics listed below.

2. Find at least three information sources related to the topic. You can find assistance with searching for articles at the UMUC Library Subject Guides at http://libguides.umuc.edu/science.

3. Write a 750-1500 word paper, excluding references and title page. You must read the information sources that you find and summarize the information in your own words, addressing each of the questions and expectations for your chosen topic. Extensive quotes from the article are discouraged. Use APA style for citing references, see https://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/apa_tutorial.cfm

4. Post your assignment to the Assignment folder by the due date listed in the course schedule.

Topics (select one from the list below or from the expanded list of topics posted on November 16th in the announcements section)

a) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs). What is the purpose genetic engineering of crop plants and domestic animals? Briefly explain how GMOs are created. What foods in your supermarket contain GMOs? Are foods that contain GMOs safe for human consumption? What types of regulations exist for these foods? Clearly explain your reasoning for each answer.

b) Stem cells. Your friend had a spinal cord injury after a bad car accident. The medical team has decided that he is a good candidate for a clinical trial using stem cell therapy. Your friend has not had a biology course since high school, so you decide to write him a letter sharing your knowledge of stem cells. Include in your letter a description of the biology of stem cells and how these cells are unique from other cells. Contrast the different types of stem cells, including pros and cons of each. Explain how stems cells are can be used to treat diseases and injury, with special focus on spinal cord injuries. Conclude with your own opinion.

c) Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) and tar sands (oil sands). With society's dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels, the oil & gas industry is turning to the use of hydraulic fracturing and tar (oil) sands to extract natural gas and oil respectively. A friend asks you "What's all this controversy in the news about fracking and tar sands?" Briefly explain to your friend how hydraulic fracturing and tar (oil) sands are used to obtain these fossil fuels. Then, in more detail, describe the environmental problems that may result from these processes and why they are controversial. Issues that may be addressed involves, but are not limited to, water, air and soil pollution, effects on human health, effects on other species and natural ecosystems. Finally, give your opinions on possible solutions to these environmental problems, with your reasoning backed by the references that you studied.
