1.Bond Table 1: To fill out the first table, you will need to select 3 bonds with maturities between 10 and 20 years with bond ratings of “A to AAA,” “B to BBB” and “C to CC” (you may want to use bond screener at the http://finance.yahoo.com/). All of these bonds will have these values (future values) of $1,000. You will need to use a coupon rate of the bond times the face value to calculate the annual coupon payment. You should subtract the maturity date from the current year to determine the time to maturity. The Web site should provide you with the yield to maturity and the current quote for the bond. (Be sure to multiply the bond quote by 10 to get the current market value.) You will then need to indicate whether the bond is currently trading at a discount, premium, or par.

2. Analysis of Bond Table 1:

Organize your work under 3 headings:

•Explain the relationship observed between ratings and yield to maturity.

•Explain why the coupon rate and the yield to maturity determine why the bonds would trade at a discount, premium, or par.

•Based on the material you learn in this Phase, what would you expect to happen to the yield to maturity and market value of the bonds if the time to maturity was increased or decreased by 5 years?

4. Analysis of Stock Tables:

Organize your work under 5 headings:

•Explain the relationship observed between the required rate of return, growth rate and the dividend paid, and the estimated value of the stock using the Gordon Model.

•Explain the value and weaknesses of the Gordon model.

•Explain the how the price-to-earnings model is used to estimate the value of the stocks.

•Explain which of the 2 models seemed to be the most accurate in estimating the value of the stocks.

•Based on the material that you learn in this Phase, what would you expect to happen to the value of the stock if the growth rate, dividends, required rate of return, or the estimated earnings per share were to increase or decrease

Select a stock that has at least a 5-year history of paying dividends and 2 of its closest competitors.

1. Stock Table 1: You will calculate the required rate of return for each of the 3 stocks. You will need to determine the risk-free rate (see Note below). You will need the market return that was calculated in Phase 2, and the beta that you find on the Web site.

2. Stock Table 2: You will determine whether the model suggests your stocks are over-priced or underpriced. You will need the most recent dividends paid over the past year for each stock, expected growth rate for the stocks, and the required rate of return you calculated in the previous table. Compare your results with the current value of each stock to determine whether the model suggests that they are over-priced or underpriced.

3. Stock Table 3: You will determine whether the model suggests your stocks are over-priced or underpriced again in a different model. You will need to find the price to earnings ratio (P/E) and the average expected earnings per share. (This should be available on the Web, though P/E can be calculated.) Compare your results with the current value of each stock to determine whether or not the model suggests that the stocks are over-priced or underpriced.

Beyond ethnography, do anthropologists have any need for theory? Discuss using at least two theoretical approaches discussed in the lectures and backing up your discussion with reference to relevant ethnographic examples.

The exercise requires you to include three things

• A general commentary on anthropology theory
• A critical account of the relationship between theory and ethnography
• A comparison of how this relationship features drawing on readings and ideas about at least two theoretical approaches discussed in the lectures and illustrated with relevant contemporary ethnographies
I need him to write about two types of phenomenology in anthropology and give appropriate recent ethnographic case studies

Re: Project paper formatting guidelines
I trust you are working on your project paper. Please know that while writing your paper, it is necessary and required that you follow the steps below:

1. Abstract. Here you summarize your total paper briefly in a single paragraph. Objective, method, major findings – NO equation or detailed discussion.

2. Introduction. In this section you discuss what you are doing and why your work is important. In the end, a paragraph with your main findings is a must. This section is typically no longer than two pages.

3. Literature review. Discuss methods, data and results of several published research papers in the area of your work. Also explain how your work is important and different from those work. Around two pages is okay.

4. Data and Methodology. Clearly indicate type of data you are using and the source(s) of data. Detail the methodologies you would use in the paper. If you use multiple methods, all needed to be clearly elaborated with necessary equation and explanation.

5. Results and discussions. This is important that you explain your findings in detail and indicate that they are reasonable and realistic. If you have performed any hypothesis testing explain them. You must show your results in tables or graphs labeling serial number and titles. Large table can be attached in an appendix (Please don’t attach any data set with your paper).

6. Conclusion. This section summarize your forecasting results and you acknowledge constraints you have faced during your research work, e.g., methods, data. Based on that you indicate future research directions. This section should not be more than two paged long.

Good luck on you project work.

Race and Biology in Japan
Final Paper Outline
Option 1

Cross-Cultural Racial Classifications Research Project.Select and research a racial classification system in another country. Explain and analyze the racial and ethnic breakdowns. What kind of relationship do these designations have to genetics? How do they differ with American classification systems? Which parts of the system do you see as contradictory, limiting, expansive?

Topic: Japan’s Homogeny VS. Being Hafu: The Repercussions of Skin Tone and Society

Outline

Opening statement:

Each year in Japan over 20,0000 half-Japanese babies are born. Japan has been a small Country with a long history of nationalistic pride. Lately there has been reports of snap judgements that label any person who looks bi-racial as the ultimate Other in their homeland.

Details/Points of Essay:

I will discuss all points that I plan to discuss, which include,
1) identify the immigration law
2) next I will note what effects being the Other has on a young child, and
3) finally I will discuss the long standing bias against mixed race people born within Japan.) Focusing on connecting these social issues directly to biology and GENETICS throughout the essay is a must and not only in one place within the essay. Also, discuss how Japanese mixed race category is a huge social challenge and confrontation to local ideas about purity of heritage and biology.

Paragraph 1:
Next I will identify the names given to the Other in Japan, beginning with Hafu and all of its connotations and identify more offensive terms to denote the Other. I will next discuss Japan’s immigration law and compare it with the laws of other Countries.???(maybe)

Paragraph 2:
I will note the effects of being labelled Hafu- The Mixed Race of Japan has on a young person whose main drive is to fit in.

Paragraph 3:
Next I will go into the new media and how Japan is coping with Miss Japan being Hafu and the backlash that Miss Japan is facing. I will also discuss how Hafu are being pushed into society and being used in fashion campaigns as well as discuss how the fashion campaigns within Japan have always sought after the (typical “all american” other.?)

Paragraph 4:
I will then discuss Journalist Roxana Saberi’s experience being of an Iranian father and Japanese mother and how she was treated as a Hafu 10 years after leaving for College. Finally I will assess the Korean-Japanese long-lingering problem of citizenship and theories on why so many Korean-Japanese nationals are marginalized and seek subversive jobs and outlooks in this society.

Paragraph 5
What kind of relationship do these designations have to genetics? Which parts of the system do I see as contradictory, limiting, expansive?

Closing Statements:
Discuss what the possible outcomes will be with the brink of change. Is there light at the end of the misconceptions on diversity? Does their immigration policy exclude for race-based reasons or other financial concerns? Do they converge? Finally with the growing awareness and usage of Hafu people in ad campaigns, is there more opportunities arising beyond these feats? Assess the current socioeconomic status within the Country….
