Questions
 9. The spot price of silver is currently $7.125/oz, while the two- and five-month forward
prices are $7.160/oz and $7.220/oz, respectively.
(a) If silver has no convenience yield, what are the implied repo rates?
(b) Suppose silver has an active lease market with lease rate ? = 0.5% for all maturities
expressed in annualized continously compounded terms. Using the formula developed
in Question 3, identify the implied repo rate for maturities of two months and
five months.
13. There is an active lease market for gold in which arbitrageurs can short or lend
out gold at a lease rate of ? = 1%. Assume gold has no other costs/benefits of carry.
Consider a three-month forward contract on gold.
(a) If the spot price of gold is $360/oz and the three-month interest rate is 4%, what is
the arbitrage-free forward price of gold?
 (b) Suppose the actual forward price is given to be $366/oz. Is there an arbitrage opportunity?
If so, how can it be exploited?

In your paper:

Discuss your reasons for selecting the model country for its best practices. Assess the performance indicators that led to the selection.
Compare briefly the challenges each government faces when addressing the issue.
Compare briefly the approaches each government takes to address the issue. What might be reasons for the differences?

Police departments are using surveillance cameras, gunshot detection systems, automated license plate readers, facial recognition software, body cameras, drones, and numerous databases to prevent, respond and investigate crimes. Describe whether this technology exists, but rather, should police use it when it becomes available to them? And, if so, how should it be used?

Nola M. Joyce, former deputy commissioner for the Philadelphia Police Department, once wrote the following in a blog post for the National Police Foundation:
Today Police departments are using surveillance cameras, gunshot detection systems, automated license plate readers, facial recognition software, body cameras, drones, and numerous databases to prevent, respond and investigate crimes. Describe whether this technology exists, but rather, should police use it when it becomes available to them? And, if so, how should it be used?
For your initial post, you will take a position on this issue. Do you agree or disagree that the increased use of technology may pose a threat to the public?
First, title your post either “Police Use of Technology Makes Me Feel Safer” or “Police Use of Technology Threatens My Constitutional Rights.”
Then, using the information gained in this module and the resources noted above, make your case. What are the pros and cons of police technology use? Be sure to build your case with factual resources.
In response to your peers, consider how well they have justified their position, making use of available resources. Consider the following questions in your response posts:
Did your peers support their position convincingly with appropriate resources? Which of their points make the most sense to you, even if you made a case for the opposing viewpoint?

Module 06 D – Bias in Healthcare
This paper is about ageism and bias. Reflect on your personal perception of older adults (aged 65 and above). Consider it is your first day at a clinical site, and your preceptor tells you that your client is a 76-year-old female. Does that paint a picture of your day? Do you have different expectations about the physical and cognitive abilities of a 76-year-old client than you would for a 46-year-old client? Do you anticipate having to provide more care for a 76-year-old than for a 46-year-old? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you are not alone.

Describe how degrees of uncertainty impact an organization and articulate the steps that a leader can take to help an organization deal with this very real systemic constraint. 

In the readings for this learning module, you had the opportunity to explore the impact of what the authors described as extreme uncertainty. As you read this chapter you may have felt like there are very few businesses today that don’t deal with extreme uncertainty. While much of what the author addressed dealt with the issue of startups, almost every business deals with uncertainty. Describe how degrees of uncertainty impact an organization and articulate the steps that a leader can take to help an organization deal with this very real systemic constraint. 

Discussion Question:
Obviously, time is one of those factors that is equal for everyone. However, in modern organizations we think about time differently, don’t we? Modern, asynchronous learning opportunities have allowed us to use our time differently. With that said, time crusher is a very real issue in most competitive organizations today. In your readings they address this issue. Describe in this discussion question how time pressures have an impact on organizations and how those pressures can be managed by thoughtful leaders desirous of managing their organizational culture. Be specific and articulate examples from the readings.
