A 1-page (single-spaced) brief on Hedging Currency Risks at AIFS (attached). You do not need to cite references to the case, only to any outside sources IF necessary
The brief should address the following questions:
Firstly, what are the causes of the currency exposure at AIFS?
Secondly, what would result if Archer-Lock and Tabaczynski did not hedge at all?
Lastly, what would happen with a 100% hedge with forwards?
A 100% hedge with options? Use the forecast final sales volume of 25,000 and analyze the possible outcomes relative to the ‘zero impact’ scenario described in the case (i.e. no change in the exchange rate).
*Given the choice of
(1) Do nothing — exchange at the spot rate;
(2) Use 100 % forwards;
(3) Use 100 % options, what do you think Archer-Lock and Tabaczynski should do?
Explain your reasoning.
The case is attached. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your help.

Currency risk is the financial risk that arises from potential changes in the exchange rate of one currency in relation to another.
And it’s not just those trading in the foreign exchange markets that are affecte d.
Adverse currency movements can often crush the returns of a portfolio with heavy international exposure,
or diminish the returns of an otherwise prosperous international business venture.
Companies that conduct business across borders are expose d to currency risk when income earne d abroad is converte d into the money of the domestic country,
and when payables are converted from the domestic currency to the foreign currency.
The currency swap market is one way to hedge that risk.
Currency swaps not only hedge against risk exposure associated with exchange rate fluctuations,
but they also ensure receipt of foreign monies and achieve better lending rates.,
How Currency Swaps Work
A currency swap is a financial instrument that involves the exchange of interest in one currency for the same in another currency.

Regardless of the size of a company, the role of the CEO is essentially the same:
Set the vision for the company and ensure that vision is execute d.
The first part tends to be a lot easier than the second.
Anyone in a company leadership role can declare what they’d like to see and dream big, but the execution is the hard part.
Particularly if you’re the CEO, figuring out exactly how to execute a strategy can be among the most challenging parts of your job.
However, there are ways to ensure that once you have a winning plan in place it actually comes to fruition. Here’s how to make it happen.
1. Communicate and align
CEOs need to begin with clearly communicating their objectives, which should be driven by the company’s values and vision.
Having clear goals with a comprehensive list of business objectives creates guidelines that become the foundation for business planning and growth.
All employee work should align with company objectives and the CEO’s vision for the company.
Having conversations with leadership and managers about how employee work translates into the company’s goals should be prioritized and take place on a weekly basis.
2. Drive accountability
The CEO should be the first to create goals and then share those goals with the rest of the company.
The CEO should be responsible for showing how the day-to-day work of each employee impacts the success of the company.
That sharing of goals at the CEO level should inspire employees to share their goals and work with each other.
When a CEO knows what all teams are working on and how each team is being held accountable for their goals and their action plans, it will be easier to quantify vision and strategy.
Research by the Franklin Covey Group across hundreds of organizations revealed that the bigger the number of goals a CEO attempts to set and achieve, the less likely they will be achieved.

Consequently, do not forget to respond to the other topic for this week.
More Details;
Segregation of duties in an accounting department serves as the primary defense against internal fraud.
Having employees check each other’s work may reduce errors, but simple mistakes do not reduce profit to the same degree.
Small businesses suffer disproportionately from fraud, losing an average of 5 percent of revenue, or $160,000 to internal theft.
Lastly, segregation of duties within the accounting group minimizes opportunities for employees to steal from the company.
The Triangle of Fraud
Additionally, fraud prevention experts recognize a “triangle of fraud” that creates conditions for embezzlement.
That triangle consists of financial pressure on the employee, rationalization of criminal action and opportunity to commit the crime.
Segregation of duties within the accounting department breaks the triangle at the point of opportunity.
Lastly, knowing that others review and check critical components of his work alters an employee’s perception of opportunity.
In conclusion, given the potential cost of employee fraud, an investment in steps to prevent it provides a good return.

Distinguish between ethnicity and “race.” What does it mean
Instructions; Distinguish between ethnicity and “race.” What does it mean to say that “race” is a social construction? Race is not biological. It is a social construct. There is no gene or cluster of genes common to all blacks or all whites.
Topic: Distinguish between ethnicity and “race.” What does it mean to say that “race” is a social construction?
Distinguish between ethnicity and “race.” What does it mean to say that “race” is a social construction?
More Details;
Race is not biological. It is a social construct. There is no gene or cluster of genes common to all blacks or all whites.
Were race “real” in the genetic sense, racial classifications for individuals would remain constant across boundaries.
Yet, a person who could be categorized as black in the United States might be considered white in Brazil or colored in South Africa.
Like race, racial identity can be fluid.
How one perceives her racial identity can shift with experience and time, and not simply for those who are multiracial.
These shifts in racial identity can end in categories that our society, which insists on the rigidity of race, has not even yet defined.
As I explain in my book “According to Our Hearts,” whites in interracial black-white marriages
or relationships frequently experience a shift in how they personally understand their individual racial identity.
In a society where being white (regardless of one’s socioeconomic class background or other disadvantages)
means living a life with white skin privileges
such as being presumed safe, competent and noncriminal
whites who begin to experience discrimination because of their intimate connection with someone of another race,
or who regularly see their loved ones fall prey to racial discrimination, may begin to no longer feel white.
After all, their lived reality does not align with the social meaning of their whiteness.
That all said, unlike race and racial identity, the social, political and economic meanings of race,
or rather belonging to particular racial groups, have not been fluid. Racial meanings for non-European groups have remained stagnant.
For no group has this reality been truer than African-Americans.
What many view as the promising results of the Pew Research Center’s data on multiracial Americans,
with details of a growing multiracial population and an increasing number of interracial marriages,
does not foreshadow as promising a future for individuals of African descent as it does for other groups of color.

In addition, two great leaders of the black community in the late 19th and 20th century were W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.
However, they sharply disagreed on strategies for black social and economic progress.
More so, their opposing philosophies can be found in much of today’s discussions over how to end class and racial injustice, what is the role of black leadership,
and what do the ‘haves’ owe the ‘have-nots’ in the black community.
Additionally, Booker T. Washington, educator, reformer and the most influentional black leader of his time (1856-1915) preached a philosophy of self-help, racial solidarity and accomodation.
He urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and concentrate on elevating themselves through hard work and material prosperity.
He believed in education in the crafts, industrial and farming skills
and the cultivation of the virtues of patience, enterprise and thrift.
This, he said, would win the respect of whites and lead to African Americans being fully accepted as citizens and integrated into all strata of society.
W.E.B. Du Bois, a towering black intellectual, scholar
and political thinker (1868-1963) said no–Washington’s strategy would serve only to perpetuate white oppression.
Du Bois advocated political action and a civil rights agenda (he helped found the NAACP).
In addition, he argued that social change could be accomplished by developing the small group of college-educated blacks he called “the Talented Tenth:”
“The Negro Race, like all races, is going to be sav ed by its exceptional men.
In conclusion, the problem of education then, among Negroes, must first of all deal with the “Talented Tenth.”
Lastly, it is the problem of developing the best of this race that they may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the worst.”

1. respond to question: This unit covered quite a few of the insanity defenses. Of these, which does your state use (see p. 83)? Also, do you think this insanity defense is appropriate compare d to the other options?
Why? If your state does not allow an insanity defense, which defense do you think would be appropriate for your state, and why?
2. respond to classmate. do you are or disagree: Currently, the State of Florida has adopted the M’Naghten rule for insanity defenses.
Florida State Statute 775.027 states in part the defendant must have been mentally infirm, diseased or defect.
Additionally he or she did not understand the consequences of their actions or they did not understand what they were doing was wrong.
The burden to prove these elements falls on the defendant. I believe there are rare times when the defense is applicable.
However, it fails more often than it succeeds.
Roughly 1% of defendants in the state use the insanity defense at trial.
Sometime in 2021, the State of Florida will hear the case of Markeith Loyd who plans on using the insanity defense in his upcoming trial.
Loyd is accuse d of killing Orlando Police Lieutenant Debra Clayton who was attempting to take him into custody on a murder warrant.
3. respond to question: Why do you think police are viewed negatively in many communities? What are some ways that police could help to change those negative views?
4. respond to classmate. do you are or disagree: During the first era the police were create d to set fear into the citizens.
This was especially true for the black community.
From the Jim Crow time when the police set out to capture and torture those that attempted a life of freedom.
I believe that from generation to generation this belief carried.
Today it appears in the media that not much has changed. Police have been shown to target the Black community and lives have been taken.
I do not believe that all police officers are the same and the way they can attempt to change these negative views is to be a positive influence within communities.
The media has branded the “bad seeds” of the police departments and there are not stories which we see the positive acts.
More actions in the community like going into the schools again and community functions should be implemented.
I remember the excitement when McGruff the crime dog would visit my school.
It would also paint a good light on the department if more officers could speak during a news conference.
I understand that they must stick together but hearing them state that they do not agree with the actions of an officer,
instead of defending them could change their negative view within the community.
