A brief introduction to ethical consumerism
On April 24 2013, a building known as the Rana Plaza collapsed on top of garment workers inside its factories, killing more than 1,100 people and injuring 2,500. It would be known as the worst ever accident in the garment industry anywhere in the world.
It was later discovered that 28 brands that sourced clothes from the plaza included Primark, Benetton, Mango, Matalan and Bonmarché, prompting public concern about the working conditions of garment factories around the world which contribute to western high street fashion stores.
Ethical consumerism encourages people to think about how the products they buy are sourced and produced and which arenot harmful to the environment and society. This can be evidenced through simply purchasing eggs that are free-range or boycotting goods/companies which promote child labour or unsavoury working conditions.
The range of product areas which fall into the ethical category includes:
· Banking and finance
· Energy
· Fashion
· Food and drinks
· Travel and tourism
Ethical consumerism is a growing market; a recent report from the Co-operative Bank showed a third of UK consumers claiming to be concerned about ethical consumption, with a large number of the public willing to challenge and boycott companies which do not comply with ethical standards.

Muckrakers Under the Microscope Article
$5.00Muckrakers Under the Microscope Article
Muckrakers were investigative journalists who exposed corruption in business or government, or examined serious societal issues. Several of the most well-known muckrakers worked for McClure’s Magazine, where they wrote exposés on large companies, meat slaughtering houses, and city governments. These prominent and influential reporters included Ida M. Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, Upton Sinclair, and Ray Stannard Baker.
Now suppose that you, too, are an investigative journalist. Instead of choosing a business or government, you have been asked to write a piece on one of the muckrakers. Which muckraker will you investigate? And how much information will you be able to provide?
(100 points)
Score 1. Write a well-constructed article on one muckraker using the outline you created during your website research. Keep the following points in mind as you write:
- Include important biographical information about the individual’s life.
- Give specific examples of articles and books that were written. What businesses or government offices were targeted in theexposés?
- What reforms or changes took place as a result of the individual’s writings?

FM212 MT Class Assignments Hand in Problem Set 2: Minicase IShares MSCI Emerging Markets
$15.00Your uncle has decided to invest £100,000 over the next month. He is very keen on the IShares MSCI Emerging Markets (EEM) but is unsure about the best strategy. His broker recommended he buys a protective put on the stock index, but your uncle has never traded options before and is not much of a risk taker. He wants you to devise a plan for him to capitalize if markets do well but still be protected if the index loses value. You realize that a protective put will protect him from downside risk, but you think a straddle plus investment in the underlying stock may offer similar downside protection, while increasing the upside potential. You decide to show him three strategies 1) unhedged, 2) protective put and 3) straddle plus investment in the underlying stock and the resulting profits and returns he could face from each. The current price for EEM shares is $39.5 and one-month at-the-money options on EEM shares are trading at $1.35 (Call) and $0.84 (Put). Assume that you can buy less than a unit of each option contract and share. Using this data, create a table with the payoffs, profits and returns of the following investments portfolios, using the at-the-money options: 1. Buy EEM shares 2. Buy EEM shares and puts (# shares= # puts) 3. Buy EEM shares, puts and calls (# shares= # puts= # calls) In each case make sure you invest 100% of the $100,000, no more and no less. Note that this implies that number of EEM shares bought will be decreasing from portfolios 1 to 3. Show your results for a limited number of possible stock prices at maturity (one month), for example: 31.5; 33.5; 35.5; 37.5; 39.5; 41.5; 43.5; 45.5; 47.5. The current risk free rate is zero at all maturities.
How would you explain the pros and cons of the 3 strategies to your uncle? In addition, draw the profit diagram for each portfolio. Can you also comment on the different intercepts and slopes?
