Problem 1: Real Risk-Free Rate
Current 30-day T-bills are yielding 3.5 percent. Your accountant provided you with these interest rate premiums:
IP = 1.5%
LP = 0.6%
MRP = 1.8%
DFP = 2.15%
What is the real risk-free rate of return based on this data?
Problem 2: Expected Interest Rate
For this problem, examine Treasury securities. Considering the following numbers, what would the yield on 3-year Treasury securities be?
Real risk-free = 4%.
Inflation expected at 1.5% for this year and 2% for the next 2 years.
Maturity risk premium = 0.
Problem 3: Default Risk Premium
A Treasury bond maturing in 5 years has a yield of 4 percent. A 5-year corporate bond has a yield of 7 percent. Consider that the liquidity premium on the corporate bond is 0.5 percent. If this is so, what is the default risk on the corporate bond?

/in /by adminI have attached the rubric and sources!Guy Debord – theorist, philosopher, filmmaker, and artist – wrote The Society of the Spectacle in 1967. The book concerns itself with the shifting parameters of the time and culture’s engagement in the mediated experience. At that time, television and magazines were the things that were pulling people away from the direct experience of their lives and thrusting them into mediated experiences of their lives. The uncanny thing about this book is that it could have been written yesterday about the current situation of the mediated experience.This assignment covers the first chapter “Separation Perfected” (link to book below assignment). Each chapter is divided into short, numbered theses. Read the entire first chapter (Theses 1-34) and then pick one thesis to respond to. You will begin your response by including the number and the text of the thesis that you are writing about. You will then provide two paragraphs that outline:1. Your interpretation of the thesis from both a personal level and from a view of the culture-at large2. How the thesis pertains generally to our current cultural moment of being on social media and/or online activity. You will then provide a specific example, providing a comparison between the thesis and a particular component of online life.Online version of The Society of the SpectacleAlso, here are a couple links that will provide further insight and interpretation of the text.

So why is this still lacking in many organizations? Why are “leaders†still using their legitimate power of their management position to motivate with fear rather than inspiring people toward a common goal?In your current role as a leadership training consultant, this is the question you continue to ask yourself.

solved Discussion: SURREALIST FILM CLIP Surrealism is about the dream state
/in /by adminDiscussion: SURREALIST FILM CLIP
Surrealism is about the dream state or what challenges what we logically know or are familiar with. Television and film have often used Surrealism to visually make points when words will fall short.Â
Find Your Surrealist Film Clip:
Taking some inspiration from Salvador Dali, or directors like David Lynch, find a short movie or television show clip that you find is Surreal. Do some research, there are plenty of clips of this nature on YouTube. Be sure tell us the name of the film or television show where the clip is from, and the name of the film’s director, or episode if it’s from television.
Make sure the clip is not too long, maybe 2 and a half minutes max. I have to view all of these while grading each of your submissions.
Discussion Questions:
Tell us why you chose this film clip.
What is it about the clip that made an impression on you?
What do you feel makes it visually effective? Discuss some principles of design that are responsible for the visual impact created in the film clip.
Avoid going to Google for answers to the questions. Adding a little info from a source is OK, but I really want to hear your very own thoughts.
Instructions:
Your Discussion experience will come in three parts:
Part 1: Find your Surrealist film clip and embed it into your discussion.
Part 2: Write a short essay that answers the above questions in detail. Additions to your thread resulting from any added research is fine. But remember to stay on topic and answer the questions.
Part 3: Respond to a minimum of 2 other student Threads.
