The Vignette of Marus

Marcus is a 10-year-old boy who has been struggling at school. During the past year he has frequently been in fights with other students during recess. He argues with his teacher and sometimes refuses to follow her requests. He has also been in trouble for taking items belonging to other students such as lunch snacks, a sweatshirt left on the playground, and some loose change that was sitting on a desk. During class time, Marcus has difficulty following instructions and completing his work. He is easily distracted, does not pay attention to details, and frequently leaves his seat to interrupt the work of other students.

Marcus is doing better at home. He spends the weekdays with his mother and two younger brothers whose ages are 5 and 7. He helps with many of the household chores his mother cannot attend to while she is at work full time. On the weekends, Marcus lives with his father, stepmother, his 11-year-old stepsister, and his 3-year-old half-sister. He describes his father and stepmother as being very strict, but he enjoys playing with two other boys his age who live in the neighborhood.

Marcus’ teacher has met with his parents on several occasions to discuss his poor academic progress. She has expressed concern with the level of his academic skills in writing and math, as well as with his ability to get along well with others. Both the teacher and school principal have recommended counseling for Marcus, and the parents’ insurance plan will pay for 10 visits. Marcus’ pediatrician has also suggested the possibility of medication.

Based on the information presented, address the following questions:

1. What mental disorder would you consider for Marcus? List the specific criteria from the DSM-5that you believe Marcus meets, given the information you currently know about him. If Marcus does not meet all of the criteria needed for a diagnosis, what additional information would you need to gather?
2. What score would you document for Marcus, if Marcus’ family completed the parent- or guardian-rated Level 1 cross-cutting symptom measure? Include the specific information you included when coming up with this score.
3. What other factors (such as school system, family constellation, or medical and health care system) would you need to include when formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan for Marcus? In what way is his family system either helping him to cope at school or exacerbating the problems Marcus is having?
4. How would you explain Marcus’ symptoms from a biological perspective? How would you explain his symptoms from a psychosocial perspective

Probability Analysis
A General Manger of Harley-Davidson has to decide on the size of a new facility. The GM has narrowed the choices to two: large facility or small facility. The company has collected information on the payoffs. It now has to decide which option is the best using probability analysis, the decision tree model, and expected monetary value.
Options:
Facility Demand Options Probability Actions Expected Payoffs

Large Low Demand 0.4 Do Nothing ($10)
Low Demand 0.4 Reduce Prices $50
High Demand 0.6 $70

Small Low Demand 0.4 $40
High Demand 0.6 Do Nothing $40
High Demand 0.6 Overtime $50
High Demand 0.6 Expand $55
Determination of chance probability and respective payoffs:
Build Small:
Low Demand 0.4($40)=$16
High Demand 0.6($55)=$33

Build Large:
Low Demand 0.4($50)=$20
High Demand 0.6($70)=$42
Determination of Expected Value of each alternative

Build Small: $16+$33=$49
Build Large: $20+$42=$62
Important information below:

The diagram is accurate and labeled correctly. The diagram clearly illustrates the sequence of events and their probability of occurrences.

A step-by-step breakdown of the calculations for the chance of probability and respective payoff is clearly communicated. The results of the calculations are accurate.

A step-by-step breakdown of the calculations for expected value is clearly communicated. The results of the calculations are accurate.

• W4A1 Global Skills: Foreign Currency
Use the text book and any other source, as long as you cite it. You must use live relevant data from this past week for the answers to 1, 2, 4 and 8.
Part A)
1. What is the spot rate for the British pound (GBP) on Wednesday in terms of the U.S. dollar (USD)? Or, from the U.S. perspective, what is the direct quote on pounds?)
2. What is the spot price for the USD on Wednesday in terms of the Swiss franc (CHF)? (Or, from the U.S. perspective, what is the indirect rate on Swiss francs?)
3. Using your answers from #1 and #2 above, calculate the cross rate of exchange between the British pound (GBP) and the Swiss franc (CHF) (need to see your math).
4. Calculate the annualized forward premium or discount on six-month forward yen (need to see your math).
5. Based on your answer to #4 above, if you are planning to go to Japan in 6 months, should you buy your yen today? Why or why not?
6. According to the international Fisher Effect, if the real interest rate is 4%, if the US inflation rate is 5% and the Japanese inflation rate is 7%, then what is the nominal interest rate in the US? What is the nominal interest rate in Japan? Need to see math.
7. What is the expected difference between interest rates in the United States and Japan (do not need to see math, this can be answered in words and not numbers)?
8. Did the value of the Canadian dollar (CAD) rise or fall between Tuesday and Wednesday (hint – do not always view currency from a US perspective)?
Part B) Suppose the spot pound and the 90-day forward pound are both selling for $1.65, while the U.S. interest rates are 10 percent and British interest rates are 6 percent. Using the covered interest arbitrage theory, describe what will happen to the spot price of the pound, the 90-day forward price of the pound, interest rates in the United States, and interest rates in the U.K. when arbitrageurs enter this market.
