Regulatory Control

Question 1

• Discuss issues raised concerning Sanders’ approach in connection with the sale to Brown and Massey.
• Include some of the other options that Sanders may have considered other than the $2,000,000 cash price.
• Explain the reasons for regulatory control over financial markets.

Let’s assume Colonel Sanders obtained a six-month loan of $150,000 Canadian dollars from an American bank to finance the acquisition of a building for another Canadian franchise in Quebec province. The loan will be repaid in Canadian dollars. At the time of the loan, the spot exchange rate was U.S. $0.8995/Canadian dollar and the Canadian currency was selling at a discount in the forward market. The contract after six months (face value = C$150,000 per contract) was quoted at U.S. $0.8930/Canadian dollar.

• Explain how the American bank could lose on this transaction assuming no hedging.
• Assume the bank does hedge with the forward contract, what is the maximum amount it can lose?

Question 2

You are in charge of creating a plan for your organization or an organization you are familiar with to monitor the computers attached to your network. You are to research and develop solutions that could automate the process and a manual monitoring solution.

First, describe the organization you have chosen and your relationship to this organization. You must pick a specific organization – do not talk about all organizations in general. This course is about application – not theory. Create in your own words a plan that provides an automated solution and a manual solution to monitoring the computers on your network.

Use APA guidelines to create a paper in Word. Your paper should have a minimum of 400 words and no more than 600 words addressing all the areas above. Please include at least 2 scholarly references 5 years or less in age plus your text to support your recommendations for improvement.
