Mercedes Oliva HW 2 1. What was Nick Leeson’s strategy to earn trading profits on derivatives? Nick Leeson’s strategy to earn trading profits on derivatives was to trade futures on the Nikkei 225 stock index and the Japanese government bonds. This strategy would have either provided huge gains or huge losses. This went completely against what Barings was expecting him to do. He opened a secret trading account to avoid being caught. 2. What went wrong that caused his strategy to

are also two different sized wooden block and two gliders. One of the gliders is gold and the other is red. A meter stick is also provided to record height and length of the given objects. Theory: Velocity is the derivative of a position graph‚ and acceleration is the derivative of a velocity graph. When the expression a = dv/dt = d2x/dt2 is integrated twice with acceleration held constant‚ it yields two integrations: x = x0+v0t+1/2at2 v = v9+at These two expressions show the relationship

Executive Summary Metal Mining Limited (MML) is an Australia mining company. It faces many types of risks such as‚ interest rate risk which affects both the syndicated bank loan and variable rate debt. Exchange rate risk affects the repayment of the variable rate debt. The price risk associated with production of gold and copper. MML can mitigate and reduce these risks by entering into the future contracts and options. Future contract or option is suggested for MML who wants to hedge 50% of the production

curve. This relates to change because you can find the difference in area of the curve‚ depending on the equation’s curve’s restrictions. The relationship between these two branches is that they are inverse operations. This means that taking a derivative after finding an integral‚ would leave you with the original equation. 2. The method of exhaustion is a process that is still used today in order to find the area of irregular shapes that typically have curved bounded areas. The process uses

Kinematics Position To specify a position vector you need to specify: • Origin • Distance • Direction If using a 3D right-handed coordinate system with the origin being the reference point for the position vector‚ it is enough to specify the coordinates x‚ y and z. For a moving object the position vector is a function of time. Velocity & Acceleration • Velocity is defined as the change in position over a change in time; thus the average velocity is and the instantaneous velocity is • For motion

The collapse of Baring’s Bank in 1995 occurred principally as a result of huge losses that resulted from unauthorized derivatives trading activity by the head of the Singapore office‚ Nick Leeson.[1] The chain of events that led to the collapse of the bank could have been mitigated‚ if not entirely avoided‚ had management and/or the board of directors followed recommendations contained in internal reports that drew attention to the risks present in the highly leveraged trading program constructed
