Since 9/11•terrorism has cased threat attacks which have drawn the attention of political and media world. The US h
to launch. a ‘war on terror’ and applied a range of counteract terrorism safety measures towards aviation, pub
transportation, ports, borders, public Hermie places, etc. While these steps may show cheap course of act!on
government and security services, it is quite expensive. According to the calculations done by Mueller and Stewa
(2011), the expenditure of US homeland and security has gone over 1.1 trillion dollars, which includes federal, state a
domestic government, and private sector, and also the cost of opportunity. The Iraq an Afghanistan wars have added 1
trillion dollars to this expenditure. The expenditure of federal, state and local US government on home ground secur
has been estimated to 75 billion dollars more than the last levels of 2001. It is seen that US is not the only country to
in these high level of expenses, even though no other country can match its per capita or GDP expenditure. F
example, increased expenditure• on homeland security in UK, Canada and Australia is nearly one half to one quarter
US expenditure per capita or GDP. Nevertheless, in 2009, the government spent nearly 141.6 billion dollars each ye
on homeland security. This figure is expected to reach about 300 billion dollars by 2016. After 9/11, the main objecti
has been to prevent or alleviate any harm or casualty as a result of terrorism. The main issue is, if this expenditure
counteracting terrorism been invest.ed in a way that has increased the cost of security of the public efficiently or no
Hence, the commission report of 9/11, among other issues, was called upon • the US government to execute safe
measures which show evaluation of risks and effectiveness of expenditure. Nevertheless, while the US needs t
evaluate expenditure benefits for government regulations, such evaluation seems co have not been done for homela
security in general, or for the DHS (department of homeland security). One of the causes could be that DHS is not ab
to take up such evaluation. The NRC (national research council) committee of the National Academics of Science
Engineering and Medicine, made a request through S Congress to evaluate the functions of DHS, which was working
the project for almost 2 years, came up with some surprising result-. Besides e’•aluation of natural disasters, t
committee ‘did not find any DHS risk analysis capabilities and methods that are yet adequate for supporting DH
decision making.’ Due to which, very less confidence could be had in most of the risk evaluation done by DHS. T
committee said that “it is not yet clear that DHS is on a I ! trajectory for development of methods and capability that
sufficient to ensure reliable risk analyses”. usually the government and their rigid agencies shoo a neutral behav
towards their decision making. Stewart says that “the standard criterion for deciding whether a government; programm
can be justified on economic principles is net present value – the discounted monetized value of expected net benef
(i.e., benefits minus costs)” and that “expected values (an unbiased estimate) is the appropriate estimate for use” (UM
1992).
Answer the following question.
Q1.
What are the reasons that show that DHS is incapable in evaluating the risks of national security?
(Hint: while the US needs to evaluate expenditure benefits for government regulations, such evaluation
seem to have not been done for homeland security in general, DHS is not able to take up such
evaluation.)

Case (20

Restaurants can avoid losing customers because of long waiting queues. Some restaurants have chairs to he
customers sit and wait, which they put on the safe side, and remove the chairs as time goes on. Nevertheless, putti
waiting chair is not the only/’ solution when the customers would go back and prefer-going to another place, there ls
need to improve the service time-. The restaurant management needs to understand the situation in a better w
through numerical model. A data was taken from a restaurant in Jakarta. Little’s Theorem and M/Ml queuing model w
used to get the ration of arrival, service, utilization, waiting time and likelihood of probable customers. At Sushi Tei, t
customers’ arrival rate during the busiest time of the day is 2.22 customers/minute (cpm), while the service is 2.24 cp
The average number of customers is 1.22 and that of utilization period is 0.991. The study of queuing or waiting lines
called the Queuing Theory. The evaluation taken after using the Queuing Theory includes – expected waiting time in lin
average time in the system, length of the line, anticipated number of customers being served at one time, possibility
customers that cringe, and the possibility of the system in some states, like unoccupied or occupied. This data w
taken after the interviewing the restaurant manager of Sushi Tei, and the data collected through the observations at t
restaurant. The rate of visiting customers was taken from the restaurant. The restaurant used to keep a record of
everyday routine work. The manager of the restaurant was interviewed to find about the capacity of the restaura
number of waiters and waitresses working there, and also the number of cooks. It was observed that the M/M
operation was best suited for the queuing model of the restaurant. This shows , that the time of arrival and service a
distributed proportionately. The system .of the restaurant contained only one server. It was observed that, though the
were a number of waitresses in the restaurant, only one cook was there to serve all the customers. According to t
analysis done on the functioning of the restaurant, on an average each customer would spend 55 minutes, the length
the queue is approx. 36 customers, and the waiting time rs approx;. 15 i ! minutes on average. It is seen that the waiti
time is not different from the theoretical waiting time. it is assumed that the possible customers will begin to withdraw o
seeing more than 10 people ahead of them in the queue. It is also observed that, on average, the customer can on
tolerate 40 people in the queue. Since the capacity of the restaurant is for 120 customers when fully occupied, t
possibility of 10 customers in a queue can be calculated as against 130 in the system, i.e., 120 occupants in t
restaurant and 10 or more waiting in the queue. A simulation model will be developed for the restaurant. Through th
simulation, the analytical model results can be attained. Also, the simulation model will help in adding more difficulty
the model can reflect the exact operation of the restaurant more personally.
Answer the following question.
Q1.
What are the reasons that show that DHS is incapable in evaluating the risks of national security?
(Hint: while the CS needs to evaluate expenditure benefits• for government regulations, such

to launch. a ‘war on terror’ and applied a range of counteract terrorism safety measures towards aviation, pub
transportation, ports, borders, public Hermie places, etc. While these steps may show cheap course of act!on
government and security services, it is quite expensive. According to the calculations done by Mueller and Stewa
(2011), the expenditure of US homeland and security has gone over 1.1 trillion dollars, which includes federal, state a
domestic government, and private sector, and also the cost of opportunity. The Iraq an Afghanistan wars have added 1
trillion dollars to this expenditure. The expenditure of federal, state and local US government on home ground secur
has been estimated to 75 billion dollars more than the last levels of 2001. It is seen that US is not the only country to
in these high level of expenses, even though no other country can match its per capita or GDP expenditure. F
example, increased expenditure• on homeland security in UK, Canada and Australia is nearly one half to one quarter
US expenditure per capita or GDP. Nevertheless, in 2009, the government spent nearly 141.6 billion dollars each ye
on homeland security. This figure is expected to reach about 300 billion dollars by 2016. After 9/11, the main objecti
has been to prevent or alleviate any harm or casualty as a result of terrorism. The main issue is, if this expenditure
counteracting terrorism been invest.ed in a way that has increased the cost of security of the public efficiently or no
Hence, the commission report of 9/11, among other issues, was called upon • the US government to execute safe
measures which show evaluation of risks and effectiveness of expenditure. Nevertheless, while the US needs t
evaluate expenditure benefits for government regulations, such evaluation seems co have not been done for homela
security in general, or for the DHS (department of homeland security). One of the causes could be that DHS is not ab

the project for almost 2 years, came up with some surprising result-. Besides e’•aluation of natural disasters, t
committee ‘did not find any DHS risk analysis capabilities and methods that are yet adequate for supporting DH
decision making.’ Due to which, very less confidence could be had in most of the risk evaluation done by DHS. T
committee said that “it is not yet clear that DHS is on a I ! trajectory for development of methods and capability that

Time series analysis has two important aims: 1) recognizing the quality of the phenomenon shown by the series
studies, and 2) Both the aims need the plan of the viewed time series data is recognized and somewhat officia
explained: A time series is said to be a ‘collection of observations made in sequence with time’. For example: recordi
level of daily rainfall, periodical total domestic product of US, and monthly strength of the. workers in Marine Corps for
specific rank and MOS. The evaluation of time series gives instruments for picking a symbolic model and deliveri
forecasts. There are two sorts of times series data: • Continuous: in this the data consists of study at every moment, f
example, seismic movement recorded on a seismogram. • Discrete: the data contains recordings taken at differe
periods ,like, statistics of each month crime. Until the data is absolutely haphazard, studies in time series are usua
related to each and the following studies could be partly ascertain by the last values. For instance, the reaso
pertaining to the meteorology which have an effect on the temperature for any given day tend to have some affect on t
next day’s climate. Hence, the observations of the past temperature are helpful for predicting temperatures for t
following days. • A time series can be deterministic if there are no haphazard or feasible features but goes in a set a
foreseeable manner. The data gathered during the classical physics experiment like showing Newton’s Law of Motion,
one example of a deterministic time series. The stochastic type of series is more appropriate to the economet
function. Stochastic variables contain undefined or arbitrary viewpoint. Though the worth of each study cannot
precisely foreseen, calculating the various observations could follow the expected method. These methods can
explained through the statistical models. According to these models, studies differ erratically on the underlying mea
value whtch is the role of time. Time series data can be put in the following categories: one or more performance facto
trend, seasonality, cyclical function and random sound. Various kinds of time series predicting models give forecas
through extrapolating the previous performance of the values of a specified \’l!riable of interest. Consecutive study
econometric times series are generally not free and forecast can be made on the basis of last observations. Althou
precise predictions can be made with deterministic time series, predictions of stochastic time series are restricted
‘conditional statements regarding the future on the basis of particular hypothesis.’ Armstrong (2001) says, “The bas
Assumption is that the variable ui!! continue in the future as it has behaved in the past. ” Particularly, the time seri
predictions are suitable for stochastic type of data in which the fundamental root cause of variation like, trend, cyclic
performance, seasonality, and uneven variations, do not change radically m time. Therefore, modeling is considered
be more suitable temporarily instead of permanent predictions.

Multi Criteria Decision Making
(20Marks)
MCDA. (multi criteria decision analysis) is considered to be one of the fastest growing research operations in the laseveral years. The researcher focus towards MCDA led to development of many different approaches and ways in tfield. There are two types of procedures: theoretical assumptions and decision addressed type. This difference throwchallenges to the prcedure of choosing the most ideal method for the decision making problem.
Most of the time, tinitial approach towards applying MCDA in the real world problems relates to the set up of simple understanding Of tcontext and recognizing the problem of decision. This step includes the ones• who make decisions and other importaparticipants who make important contributions for the MCDA procedure by sharing their knowledge. The common insigof the decision framework is received by knowing the goals of the decision making body and recognizing not only thopeople who make decisions but also those who face the decision. •
Dooley (2009) says that the first three steps take more time in the process of MCDA, particularly because of their qualitative features. Assigning of comparative significaweights to the selected criteria is the next step: These weights can be ascertained directly, for exampleranking, swintrade off; or indirectly, for example- centrality, regression and interactive. Later, the DM has to give individual scoreconsidering his or her views, to each of the recognized options according to the criteria which seem vital. These scorshow the decision of DM
. related to spreading of each substitute to every performance standard. The information whiis attained is maintained distinctively into
performance template, which is also as consequence matrix, options matrix, just decision table. The next process includes abstract of the information consisting of
the performance matrix in tform of multi criteria scores, for every possible plan. Mostly, this is attained by combining the individual scores of matso that total valuation of .each substitute which allows more comparison. The groups of substitute ranked on the basis all these scores. Finally, the procedure can include a warm evaluation of the outcome to amendments in the scores criteria, to conclude the sturdiness of the result of MCDA. At the end, the analysis and trade offs included in trespective choices are given to and conferred with the DM. In many cases, the ultimate decision that DM takes, does nmatch with the highest level of alternative, as they are more focused towards the process of knowing the effect of eaand every factor in ranking of choices than in the exactness of the ranking. Also, it should be observed that tgeneralizations are not used to of the outcome given by the process of MCDA, and they only appropriate for the group choices which were assessed.

Laura,’ a 57 year old unmarried woman, earns around 68,000 dollars per year with expenditure of 37,500 dollars. She away 14,000 dollars each year and collected 330,000 dollars in her RRSP and TFSA, and also a rented apartment wor250,000 dollars. She has a iixed pension given by her employer, although it is not indicated to price rise, and Is entitlto get complete benefits of Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security, for retirement.
She did not have a vecompetent portfolio: one fourth of cash is there, and most of it was in contracted sector ETFs, single stocks abusiness bonds. Due to wrong entry of ETFs in the account, unnecessary taxes were charged. Even beforeconstructing Laura’s portfolio,”he had to make certain that it matched with.her financial aims. Laura’s main aim was ascertain if she could retire before the age of 65, maybe as early as 60, therefore she had to know if her investmencould produce enough flow of cash after she retires. Monte Carlo may show a top possibility of success with tallotment of equity of 70% ot 80%. Through a risky questionnaire and art open interview, Justin
Ill ‘ascertain that Lauwas the best person for a portfolio of 60% fixed income and 40% equities. .

. size of Laura, her rate of savings, projected retirement expenditure, and other employincome and government pensions. If Laura feels that working till the age of 63 was unpleasant, she could go for treproduction again and with different estimation. Increasing her anticipated returns or bringing down the rate of inflatiois only a thought, therefore, she will have to make some stronger decisions: she will have to making some more savingor bring down her rate of planned expenses after retirement. Amazingly, by bringing up the allotment to fixed salacould increase her opportunity to succeed: in spite of th returns being lower than the equities, the volatility is also leswhich lessens the risk of helpless decline in the early years.
At last, Laura decided to work for 6 more years and plan hretirement at the age of 63. After this, Justin decided to help her make a fresh ETF
portfolio to match that goal: it wfinalized at 30% short term business bonds, 30% GICs, and the rest of it was divided among Canadian, L’S and globequities. Laura was able to make a notified decision through the Monte Carlo simulation, but this wasn’t the end of tprocedure. In two or three years time, she will have to visit the location again to see that she is still on the right path her retirement goal, as many issues like, loss of job, a legacy, new connections, increase in the
interest rates, all thecould bring a change in the main suppusitions
1 ; and she will have to redo her plans.
The possibilities are differebefore the age of 63. For each added year that Laura works, her portfolio will addition instead of a decrease and this wlead to a thrilling difference: the success rate will rise up by 25% points if she continues to work till the age of 61 insteaof 60.

Communication is an important foundation in today’s business world because it provides us with the ability to engage in decision making, aids in creating knowledge management systems, allows coordination of work activities (i.e., teamwork), and also gives individuals a sense of connection with co-workers. There is no doubt that successful

employees at all levels, from the lowest-ranking person to the CEO, stand to benefit by improving their verbal communication skills (Greenberg, 2005). I would like to present and unpack several strategies from Greenberg (2005) that will help you improve your communication skills. 1.) Use inspirational communication tactics: Effective leaders and employees know to use the following persuasion techniques to inspire others when they communicate. – Use emotion- provoking words to project confidence and power. – Be credible. Credibility can be enhanced by backing up your claims with clear data. – Avoid “junk words” these include “like”, “know what I mean?”, “you know”, and “anyway”. – Use “front- loaded messages” putting the meat of your point at the front, so you can use the rest of your time to illustrate and provide support. 2.) Be a supportive communicator: To communicate effectively with others, we need to show that we are interested in what the other person has to say and respond in ways that strengthen the relationship between ourselves and the target of our messages. – Focus on the problem, not the person. – Acknowledge the other person’s ideas. – Match your words with your body language. 3.) Encourage open feedback: Accurate information is the key to effective communication. Organizations and leaders should encourage feedback since feedback is a prime source of information. – 360° Feedback: these are formal or informal systems in which people at all levels of an organization, or people with differing relationships to the person or issue, give feedback. – Suggestion Systems: programs that invite employees to submit ideas about how something may be improved. 4.) Walk the talk: Actions speak louder than words. Good communication demands consistency. And, for the words to be heard as loud as the actions, they must match up. Match your words to your actions. 5.) Be a good listener: Effective communication involves more than just presenting messages clearly. It also involves doing a good job of comprehending others. Although most of us take listening for granted, effective listening is an important skill. – Be nonjudgmental while taking in information from others. – Acknowledge speakers in ways that encourage them to continue speaking.

The UNC Business Essentials program (an online business communications skills) has been more than beneficial in my everyday life, and its impact played an especially important role in my search for an internship geared toward my future profession. As I searched for different positions within my field of study, one thing stood out to me: The skills I learned from the UBE program thoroughly assisted me in my internship search and even made the process much easier. Several sections in the UBE program, like the business communication section, provided me with the business skills necessary to contact, email and communicate with employers in a professional tone. Before obtaining these skills, I was less confident in the way I reached out and spoke to employers about internships. Now, I feel that I have the same amount of business communication skills that students majoring in business also have. These skills not only put me at an advantage, but also thoroughly impressed employers and helped me to be considered for several internship positions. Applying for internships and jobs in the future is no longer an added stress because I know how to properly fill out applications, create cover letters and communicate with employers in a professional manner. One added benefit of the UBE program is that I can include my online business certificate on my resume. Many employers have asked me about the UNC Business Essentials certificate in interviews and thought the UBE program is a great distinction to have.

The Baron group entered the Indian consumer durables market in December 1994, and the markets were never tsame again. Over the next few years, at the corporate offices of competitors like Videocon, Philips and Mirc Electronicit was the same story – they were all making frenzied attempts to hold on to declining market shares. Baron’s initproduct offering, an Akai color television (CTV), was priced at Rs 13,000 – while the market price was Rs 16,500. Thwas clubbed with an exchange1 offer on old music systems and TVs and free-gift schemes whereby 14-inch CTVmobile-phones, refrigerators and Bajaj Sunny mopeds were offered free on the purchase of a 21-inch CTV.
Themoves, combined with Baron’s full-page advertisements that appeared regularly in the national media, lured buyers over the country. The move changed the CTV market share pattern very soon, with Akai’s sales increasing from 25CTVs in 1993-94 to 4.29 lakh CTVs in 1997-98. In December 1998, Baron repeated the success story with the Aiwbrand in the hi-fi audio systems segment.
Within 5 months of the launch, Aiwa replaced Philips as the segment leadgarnering a 45% market share, as compared to Philips’ 17.2% share. The launch of the TCL range of consumelectronics in 1999 also took the market by storm as the China based TCL was known for its dirt-cheap products. Walmost every new scheme and every new tie-up, Baron unleashed a new war in the Indian consumer electronics markA majority of the players began indulging in ‘one-upmanship’ on the pricing and promotion fronts.

Since 9/11•terrorism has cased threat attacks which have drawn the attention of political and media world. The US hto launch. a ‘war on terror’ and applied a range of counteract terrorism safety measures towards aviation, pubtransportation, ports, borders, public Hermie places, etc. While these steps may show cheap course of act!on government and security services, it is quite expensive. According to the calculations done by Mueller and Stewa(2011), the expenditure of US homeland and security has gone over 1.1 trillion dollars, which includes federal, state adomestic government, and private sector, and also the cost of opportunity. The Iraq an Afghanistan wars have added 1trillion dollars to this expenditure. The expenditure of federal, state and local US government on home ground securhas been estimated to 75 billion dollars more than the last levels of 2001. It is seen that US is not the only country to in these high level of expenses, even though no other country can match its per capita or GDP expenditure. Fexample, increased expenditure• on homeland security in UK, Canada and Australia is nearly one half to one quarter US expenditure per capita or GDP. Nevertheless, in 2009, the government spent nearly 141.6 billion dollars each yeon homeland security. This figure is expected to reach about 300 billion dollars by 2016.
After 9/11, the main objectihas been to prevent or alleviate any harm or casualty as a result of terrorism. The main issue is, if this expenditure counteracting terrorism been invest.ed in a way that has increased the cost of security of the public efficiently or noHence, the commission report of 9/11, among other issues, was called upon
• the US government to execute safemeasures which show evaluation of risks and effectiveness of expenditure. Nevertheless, while the US needs tevaluate expenditure benefits for government regulations, such evaluation seems co have not been done for homelasecurity in general, or for the DHS (department of homeland security). One of the causes could be that DHS is not abto take up such evaluation.
The NRC (national research council) committee of the National Academics of ScienceEngineering and Medicine, made a request through S Congress to evaluate the functions of DHS, which was working the project for almost 2 years, came up with some surprising result-. Besides e’•aluation of natural disasters, tcommittee ‘did not find any DHS risk analysis capabilities and methods that are yet adequate for supporting DHdecision making.’ Due to which, very less confidence could be had in most of the risk evaluation done by DHS. Tcommittee said that “it is not yet clear that DHS is on a
I ! trajectory for development of methods and capability thatsufficient
to ensure reliable risk analyses”.
usually the government and their rigid agencies shoo a neutral behavtowards their decision making. Stewart says that “the standard criterion for deciding whether a government; programmcan be justified on economic principles is net present value – the discounted monetized value of expected net benef(i.e., benefits minus costs)” and that “expected values (an unbiased estimate) is the appropriate estimate for use” (UM1992).

Time series analysis has two important aims: 1) recognizing the quality of the phenomenon shown by the series studies, and 2) Both the aims need the plan of the viewed time series data is recognized and somewhat officiaexplained:
A time series is said to be a ‘collection of observations made in sequence with time’. For example: recordilevel of daily rainfall, periodical total domestic product of US, and monthly strength of the. workers in Marine Corps forspecific rank and MOS. The evaluation of time series gives instruments for picking a symbolic model and deliveriforecasts. There are two sorts of times series data:
• Continuous: in this the data consists of study at every moment, fexample, seismic movement recorded on a seismogram.
• Discrete: the data contains recordings taken at differeperiods
,like, statistics of each month crime. Until the data is absolutely haphazard, studies in time series are usuarelated to each and the following studies could be partly ascertain by the last values. For instance, the reasopertaining to the meteorology which have an effect on the temperature for any given day tend to have some affect on tnext day’s climate. Hence, the observations of the past temperature are helpful for predicting temperatures for tfollowing days. •
A time series can be deterministic if there are no haphazard or feasible features but goes in a set aforeseeable manner. The data gathered during the classical physics experiment like showing Newton’s Law of Motion,one example of a deterministic time series. The stochastic type of series is more appropriate to the econometfunction. Stochastic variables contain undefined or arbitrary viewpoint. Though the worth of each study cannot precisely foreseen, calculating the various observations could follow the expected method. These methods can explained through the statistical models. According to these models, studies differ erratically on the underlying meavalue
whtch is the role of time. Time series data can be put in the following categories: one or more performance factotrend, seasonality, cyclical function and random sound.
Various kinds of time series predicting models give forecasthrough extrapolating the previous performance of the values of a specified
\’l!riable of interest. Consecutive study econometric times series are generally not free and forecast can be made on the basis of last observations. Althouprecise predictions can be made with deterministic time series, predictions of stochastic time series are restricted ‘conditional statements regarding the future on the basis of particular hypothesis.’ Armstrong (2001) says, “The basAssumption is that the variable ui!! continue in the future as it has behaved in the past. ” Particularly, the time seripredictions are suitable for stochastic type of data in which the fundamental root cause of variation like, trend, cyclicperformance, seasonality, and uneven variations, do not change radically m time. Therefore, modeling is considered be more suitable temporarily instead of permanent predictions.

Multi Criteria Decision Making
(20Marks)
MCDA. (multi criteria decision analysis) is considered to be one of the fastest growing research operations in the laseveral years. The researcher focus towards MCDA led to development of many different approaches and ways in tfield. There are two types of procedures: theoretical assumptions and decision addressed type. This difference throwchallenges to the prcedure of choosing the most ideal method for the decision making problem.
Most of the time, tinitial approach towards applying MCDA in the real world problems relates to the set up of simple understanding Of tcontext and recognizing the problem of decision. This step includes the ones• who make decisions and other importaparticipants who make important contributions for the MCDA procedure by sharing their knowledge. The common insigof the decision framework is received by knowing the goals of the decision making body and recognizing not only thopeople who make decisions but also those who face the decision. •
Dooley (2009) says that the first three steps take more time in the process of MCDA, particularly because of their qualitative features. Assigning of comparative significaweights to the selected criteria is the next step: These weights can be ascertained directly, for exampleranking, swintrade off; or indirectly, for example- centrality, regression and interactive. Later, the DM has to give individual scoreconsidering his or her views, to each of the recognized options according to the criteria which seem vital. These scorshow the decision of DM
. related to spreading of each substitute to every performance standard. The information whiis attained is maintained distinctively into
performance template, which is also as consequence matrix, options matrix, just decision table. The next process includes abstract of the information consisting of
the performance matrix in tform of multi criteria scores, for every possible plan. Mostly, this is attained by combining the individual scores of matso that total valuation of .each substitute which allows more comparison. The groups of substitute ranked on the basis all these scores. Finally, the procedure can include a warm evaluation of the outcome to amendments in the scores criteria, to conclude the sturdiness of the result of MCDA. At the end, the analysis and trade offs included in trespective choices are given to and conferred with the DM. In many cases, the ultimate decision that DM takes, does nmatch with the highest level of alternative, as they are more focused towards the process of knowing the effect of eaand every factor in ranking of choices than in the exactness of the ranking. Also, it should be observed that tgeneralizations are not used to of the outcome given by the process of MCDA, and they only appropriate for the group choices which were assessed.

Q1.
What role does MCDA play in decision making? (Hint: MCDA is considered to be one of the fastestgrowing research operations, these scores show the decision of DM related to spreading of eachsubstitute to every performance standard)

A monte Carlo Case Study
Marks)
Laura,’ a 57 year old unmarried woman, earns around 68,000 dollars per year with expenditure of 37,500 dollars. She away 14,000 dollars each year and collected 330,000 dollars in her RRSP and TFSA, and also a rented apartment wor250,000 dollars. She has a iixed pension given by her employer, although it is not indicated to price rise, and Is entitlto get complete benefits of Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security, for retirement.
She did not have a vecompetent portfolio: one fourth of cash is there, and most of it was in contracted sector ETFs, single stocks abusiness bonds. Due to wrong entry of ETFs in the account, unnecessary taxes were charged. Even beforeconstructing Laura’s portfolio,”he had to make certain that it matched with.her financial aims. Laura’s main aim was ascertain if she could retire before the age of 65, maybe as early as 60, therefore she had to know if her investmencould produce enough flow of cash after she retires. Monte Carlo may show a top possibility of success with tallotment of equity of 70% ot 80%. Through a risky questionnaire and art open interview, Justin
Ill ‘ascertain that Lauwas the best person for a portfolio of 60% fixed income and 40% equities. .
Through Monte Carlo software, Jusentered the current portfolio
. size of Laura, her rate of savings, projected retirement expenditure, and other employincome and government pensions. If Laura feels that working till the age of 63 was unpleasant, she could go for treproduction again and with different estimation. Increasing her anticipated returns or bringing down the rate of inflatiois only a thought, therefore, she will have to make some stronger decisions: she will have to making some more savingor bring down her rate of planned expenses after retirement. Amazingly, by bringing up the allotment to fixed salacould increase her opportunity to succeed: in spite of th returns being lower than the equities, the volatility is also leswhich lessens the risk of helpless decline in the early years.
At last, Laura decided to work for 6 more years and plan hretirement at the age of 63. After this, Justin decided to help her make a fresh ETF
portfolio to match that goal: it wfinalized at 30% short term business bonds, 30% GICs, and the rest of it was divided among Canadian, L’S and globequities. Laura was able to make a notified decision through the Monte Carlo simulation, but this wasn’t the end of tprocedure. In two or three years time, she will have to visit the location again to see that she is still on the right path her retirement goal, as many issues like, loss of job, a legacy, new connections, increase in the
interest rates, all thecould bring a change in the main suppusitions
1 ; and she will have to redo her plans.
The possibilities are differebefore the age of 63. For each added year that Laura works, her portfolio will addition instead of a decrease and this wlead to a thrilling difference: the success rate will rise up by 25% points if she continues to work till the age of 61 insteaof 60.
Answer the following question.
Q1.
How much was Laura earning at the age of 57? (Hint: 68,000 dollars per year)

A time series is said to be a ‘collection of observations made in sequence with time’. For example: recordilevel of daily rainfall, periodical total domestic product of US, and monthly strength of the. workers in Marine Corps forspecific rank and MOS. The evaluation of time series gives instruments for picking a symbolic model and deliveriforecasts. There are two sorts of times series data:
• Continuous: in this the data consists of study at every moment, fexample, seismic movement recorded on a seismogram.
• Discrete: the data contains recordings taken at differeperiods

For instance, the reasopertaining to the meteorology which have an effect on the temperature for any given day tend to have some affect on tnext day’s climate. Hence, the observations of the past temperature are helpful for predicting temperatures for tfollowing days. •

one example of a deterministic time series. The stochastic type of series is more appropriate to the econometfunction. Stochastic variables contain undefined or arbitrary viewpoint. Though the worth of each study cannot precisely foreseen, calculating the various observations could follow the expected method. These methods can explained through the statistical models. According to these models, studies differ erratically on the underlying meavalue whtch is the role of time. Time series data can be put in the following categories: one or more performance factotrend, seasonality, cyclical function and random sound.
Various kinds of time series predicting models give forecasthrough extrapolating the previous performance of the values of a specified

Since 9/11•terrorism has cased threat attacks which have drawn the attention of political and media world. The US hto launch. a ‘war on terror’ and applied a range of counteract terrorism safety measures towards aviation, pubtransportation, ports, borders, public Hermie places, etc. While these steps may show cheap course of act!on government and security services, it is quite expensive. According to the calculations done by Mueller and Stewa(2011), the expenditure of US homeland and security has gone over 1.1 trillion dollars, which includes federal, state adomestic government, and private sector, and also the cost of opportunity. The Iraq an Afghanistan wars have added 1trillion dollars to this expenditure. The expenditure of federal, state and local US government on home ground securhas been estimated to 75 billion dollars more than the last levels of 2001. It is seen that US is not the only country to in these high level of expenses, even though no other country can match its per capita or GDP expenditure. Fexample, increased expenditure• on homeland security in UK, Canada and Australia is nearly one half to one quarter US expenditure per capita or GDP. Nevertheless, in 2009, the government spent nearly 141.6 billion dollars each yeon homeland security. This figure is expected to reach about 300 billion dollars by 2016.
After 9/11, the main objectihas been to prevent or alleviate any harm or casualty as a result of terrorism. The main issue is, if this expenditure counteracting terrorism been invest.ed in a way that has increased the cost of security of the public efficiently or noHence, the commission report of 9/11, among other issues, was called upon
• the US government to execute safemeasures which show evaluation of risks and effectiveness of expenditure. Nevertheless, while the US needs tevaluate expenditure benefits for government regulations, such evaluation seems co have not been done for homelasecurity in general, or for the DHS (department of homeland security). One of the causes could be that DHS is not abto take up such evaluation.
The NRC (national research council) committee of the National Academics of ScienceEngineering and Medicine, made a request through S Congress to evaluate the functions of DHS, which was working the project for almost 2 years, came up with some surprising result-. Besides e’•aluation of natural disasters, tcommittee ‘did not find any DHS risk analysis capabilities and methods that are yet adequate for supporting DHdecision making.’ Due to which, very less confidence could be had in most of the risk evaluation done by DHS. Tcommittee said that “it is not yet clear that DHS is on a
I ! trajectory for development of methods and capability thatsufficient
to ensure reliable risk analyses”.
usually the government and their rigid agencies shoo a neutral behavtowards their decision making. Stewart says that “the standard criterion for deciding whether a government; programmcan be justified on economic principles is net present value – the discounted monetized value of expected net benef(i.e., benefits minus costs)” and that “expected values (an unbiased estimate) is the appropriate estimate for use” (UM1992).
Answer the following question.
Q1.
What are the reasons that show that DHS is incapable in evaluating the risks of national security?(Hint: while the US needs to evaluate expenditure benefits for government regulations, such evaluation
