In 2012, the Commonwealth of Virginia contemplated outsourcing the management of its port to private operators. Most large ports in the U.S. (L.A.,Seattle, NY/NJ) have one or more private firms managing and operating them. Ultimately, Virginia decided not to privatize its port management. (a)Why might a private operator generate better results than a public sector operator? (b)A private operator has to pay for the right to operate a port. If you are in charge of a port, perhaps L.A., how would you determine the right amount of money to charge the private operator? (c)How could you structure the contract so that the private operator has an incentive to do well and L.A. will also do well at the same time? Solution (a) Operations and Managemnet of ports are businesses in their own right and should be managed to achieve optimal utilization of capital. Investments in port assets are affected by risk, competition for land and capital, or other factors in the competitive business environment. Subsidies and government-provided incentives distort the allocation of resources for port development and may result in over- or underinvestment. Therefore, private operators may generate better results than a public sector operator. (b) For determing the right amoount of money to be charged to private operators, an authority of port has to consider numerouos factors that may affect the interport competition. Such as geographical location including Proximity to one or more major maritime routes, natural deep water, good protection against waves and currents, large waterfront and landside expansion possibilities, proximity to major production or consumption areas, good hinterland connections (road, rail, pipeline, and waterway) with high frequency service offering good connectivity. Types of cargos handled at the port, Institutional structure and socioeconomic climate are other factors that measures the benefits for the operators. Besides costs will also be determined and then a match between them is found to get the right amount of charge. (c) The contract would include some government interventions to improve the public goods, that are inherently nondivisible and nonconsumable, such as public safety, security, and a healthy environment. Investments would be made by the public in port assets that have strong direct and indirect multiplier effects on the entire national economy and, further, that the commitment of public resources would be made available to encourage coinvestment by the commercial and industrial sectors..

In 2011, the government of Greece ran into severe financial difficulties. For years, the Greek government had spent much more than it had received in tax revenue, financing the substantial budget deficits by borrowing. If Greece had had its own currency, rather than being part of the euro area, how could that help Greece solve the problem? (Make sure you state your intuition) Hint: Using Open Economy Solution Euro zone as a monetary union which takes the most extreme form of fixed exchange regime. If Greece continues following fixed exchange rate, it will be unable to adjust its exchange rate in accordance to its budget. It will lose its flexibility to operate in the market and adjust its finances. However, had the country had its own currency, it would have helped itself out of the deficit by adjusting the exchange rate and thus money inflow..

In 2001, 34.6% of European citizens stated they had been the victim of identity theft. You conduct a follow-up survey and determine that 40 were victims of identity theft out of 150 European citizens in 2004. What is probability that no more than 40 people will be victims of identity theft? Is this unusual? Solution mean =n*p=150*.346=51.9 variance=n*p*1-p=33.94 sd=5.82 P(X<40)=(40-51.9/5.82)=(-2.04) =.0207.

In 1974, there were 17 countries that had at least One nuclear reactor installed and operating. The mean and standard deviation of the numbers of nuclear power reactors for 17 countries are 7.5 and 11.1 respectively. A. The USA had 42 operating nuclear power reactors. Do you think any country had more? Why? B. Do you think the data are symmetric or skewed? Solution Z =(42-7.5)/(11.1/17) = 12.815 P(Z > 12.815) =0 So, no country had more. symmetrical.

In 1948 Claude Shannon quantified information as: Solution Description: Basically in a message we get information. But getting such information is probability oriented. It means we expect to get such and such information. There is no surprising act. But if there is any surprise of getting unexpected information, then this is not probability oriented. It means, there was no probability in the mind of recipient of getting such information. Therefore, Surprise and probability are inversely related. More surprise indicates less probability. Beyond information: This description is beyond the defination of information. This is the mathematical exposure of information and probability. Quantify: Information is quantified by recipient\'s surprise. More surprise means more information..

Importance of IA function Key concepts of independent and objectivity Idea of governance of risk control 3 functions Assurance and consulting difference Roles of the Board, Senior management, Internal Audit, External Audit pertains internal control The responsibilities of CAE The component of ERM, Role of IA in ERM(Inferent Risk, Controllable Risk and Residual Risk) What are segment of duties Difference between Risk appetite, Risk response and Risk assessment What are the different types of controls Solution Answer:The Importance of IA function are Key concepts of independent and objectivity:Members and Candidates must use reasonable care and judgment to achieve and maintain independence and objectivity in their professional activities. Members and Candidates must not offer, solicit, or accept any gift, benefit, compensation, or consideration that reasonably could be expected to compromise their own or another\'s independence and objectivity. The difference between Risk appetite, Risk response and Risk assessment: Both risk appetite and risk tolerance set boundaries of how much risk an entity is prepared to accept. Risk appetite is a higher level statement that considers broadly the levels of risks that management deems acceptable while risk tolerances are more narrow and set the acceptable level of variation around objectives. For instance, a company that says that it is does not accept risks that could result in a significant loss of its revenue base is expressing appetite. When the same company says that it does not wish to accept risks that would cause revenue from its top-10 customers to decline by more than 10% it is expressing tolerance. Operating within risk tolerances provides management greater assurance that the company remains within its risk appetite, which, in turn, provides a higher degree of comfort that the company will achieve its objectives. A risk assessment is a systematic examination of a task, job or process that you carry out at work for the purpose of; Identifying the significant hazards that are present (a hazard is something that has the potential to cause someone harm or ill health). The different types of controls are:.

In 2000, in Country A, the average family net worth was $410,000, and there was about 6.1 x 10^7 families. Calculate the total family net worth Country A in 2000. Country A\'s total family net worth is what in dollars? Solution To get the total net worth, simply multiply the average net worth by the number of families. Using scientific notation, 410,000 = 4.1*10^5 (4.1*10^5)*(6.1*10^7) = 4.1*6.1 * 10^12 = 25.01 * 10^12 = 2.5 * 10^13 (Rounded to the nearest tenth).

In 1895 an Italian criminologist, Cesare Lombroso, proposed that blood pressure be used to test for truthfulness. In the 1930s, William Marston added the measurements of respiration and perspiration to the process, built a machine to do the measuring, and called his invention the polygraph or lie detector. Today, the federal courts will not consider polygraph results as evidence, but nearly half the state courts do permit polygraph tests under certain circumstances. In addition, its use in screening job applicants is on the rise. Physicians Michael Phillips, Allan Brett, and John Beary subjected the polygraph to the same careful testing given to medical diagnostic tests. They found that if 1,000 people were subjected to the polygraph and 500 told the truth and 500 lied, the polygraph would indicate that approximately 185 of the truth-tellers were liars and that approximately 120 of the liars were truth-tellers (%u201CLie Detectors Can Make a Liar out of You,%u201D Discover, June 1986). 1. In the application of a polygraph test, an individual is presumed to be a truth-teller (H0) until %u201Cproven%u201D a liar (H1). In this context, what is a Type I error? A Type II error? 2. According to Phillips, Brett, and Beary, what is the probability (approximately) that a polygraph test will result in a Type I error? A Type II error? PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS. Solution Type I Error=\"claiming that the person is liar when in fact s/he is a truth-teller\" Type II Error=\"claiming that the person is a truth-teller when in fact s/he is a liar\".

In 1995, Oseola McCarty donated $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi to establish a scholarship fund (New York Times, November 12, 1996, pp. A1, A22). What is unusual about this donation is that the entire amount came from what she was able to save each month from her work as a washerwoman, a job she began in 1916 at the age of 8, when she dropped out of school. How much would Ms. McCarty have had to put into her savings account at the end of every 3 months to accumulate $150,000 over 79 years? Assume that she received an interest rate of 5.25% compounded quarterly. Solution $32.49 formula for payment PMT=FV/(((1+i)^N-1)/i) FV = future value = 150,000 i = interest rate = 0.0525/4 = 0.013125 (quarterly) N = number of periods = 79 x 4 = 316 (3 month periods) PMT = 150,000/(((1+0.013125)^316 - 1)/0.013125) = $32.49.
