Lightfoot et al. (2013) Chapter eleven

Part 1: Identifying..	Observable children’s unique characteristics		Children’s needs
	What unique characteristics of your focus child could you observe from the video? Please give specific examples of the observations from the video.	Use course reading and class materials (with in-text citation) to support your presentation of observation in light of the video. What current research or knowledge of developmental milestones explains about a child’s development at this period of time (infant/preschool/early elementary)?	What needs do you think your focus child have based on your observations?	Use course reading and class materials (with in-text citation) to support your presentation of observation in light of the video.
Physical development
Cognitive development
Social and emotional development
Language development
Part 2: Theoretical framework	Identify one relevant theoretical framework that helps you further discuss or interpret the child’s development Use the main assumptions of the theoretical framework (with in-text citations) to support your analysis. · What are the key tenets of the theory? · How does the theoretical perspective provide insight into the case study analyzed
Part 3: Multiple influences on Young children’s development	Give examples from the video and current research that show knowledge of multiple influences (at least two) that may impact children’s development and learning. Please consider the children’s socio-cultural context (e.g., learning context and activities, cultural and linguistic context, relationships with adults and peers, technology and media, economic conditions of children and families, and family and community characteristics and stories)

or others as source of price data on bonds.

1. Find the most recent prices of the bonds and show how the bond prices can be used to determine their YTM (Yield to Maturity). Upload your excel file to show your calculations. If the bonds you have chosen have not been traded recently you can assume a hypothetical price and show the YTM calculation for them.

2. If the YTM for these bonds stay the same, what should be the price of bonds in 6 months and 12 months from now.

3. Calculate the duraction and convexity for both bonds.

4. Based on calculated duration and convexities, show the price change for the bonds if interest rates increase by 0.5%.

You should submit all your work including the answers to above points in one pdf or doc(x) file, and attach the excel file containing data and calculations separately.
