Question 2
I just need some direction by providing a brief statement from the article for each step and the page number of the information to get me started. Case Analysis The assignments on research you have completed so far have taken you through a step-by-step process on how to develop and design formal research. In this capstone assignment, you will use all the knowledge and skills you have developed over the past weeks and apply it to a published research as part of a group activity. The group analysis should be framed against each and every one of the steps presented in the Sekaran (2003) research process and founded on the skills developed in previous assignments of this course. Click here to view the Sekaran diagram on the research process. The analysis itself should be a comparative assessment of how well the author (or authors) of the selected research have fulfilled (or not) each of the steps and sub-steps presented in figure 4.1 of the textbook. The focus of the analysis should be on the research process, not as much on the research content itself. Be careful not to paraphrase what the author(s) has already stated in the published research. Again the analysis should be on assessing the adherence to the research process. Look at not only each step (and sub steps) but also but also how each step serves as a "stepping stone" for the next step. The interrelationships among the steps are also relevant to the analysis. The specific published research selected for the group project should have between 15-25 pages in length, recently published (2001 or better) and contain the basic components of a formal research project (a literature review, statement of the problem, hypothesis or hypotheses, data collected and analyzed to test the stated hypothesis, etc.), preferably of a business related topic. The study can be quantitative, qualitative or mixed. Remember to include the source of the study as one of the citations in your fully APA formatted references section so your instructor can search and review, if necessary. I am stuck on parts 9-10,I am sending you the Article now I am supposed to do steps 9-10 I will pay up to 50.00 more if it can be done within a matter of the next 9 hours. I just have to do part 9-10 of the Sekeran process and I am moving and dont have the time. I will cherish you forever as well.,I actually appoligize. There was a mistake on my behalf I am actually to do step 8 and step 9. Step 8 is deduction. This means that I have to answer if the hypothesis from the attached article is substantiated or not and support whatever my answer is from what is gathered from the report. Step 9 is report writing I guess this would be writing up the report of the claim. This means analyzing and critiqing wheter or not or how well the article that I attatched utilized report writing.,Does this help? or will you be able to help me? So if not I can searh out other means. thanks btw your cute in a Cameron Diaz way.,This is great but one more question is the hypothesis substantiated? and if not why?
Question 3
"Globalizing the Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting at AES" The report must follow the instructions and reflect on why the topic was assigned. what did you learn from the case? It should not repeat what is in the readings. the report should go beyond the material in the readings. talk about how the topic illustrates course concept. how do the concept from the case related to the financial decision of the multinational firm and its objective of increasing the wealth of the shareholders. think also what you learn from the data collection and analysis. the report should be between 6-8 pages excluding tables and figures double space and one inch margins on all sides."" see attachment of case study...my paper was wrong so professor gave me time to redo it...hopefully you guys will help me out this time..as I always got negative from you guys..also the two question you answer was wrong answer due to which i did not get marks from that...i am here paying money just to get answer and get marks not for anything...so please last time please help in this case....also in good answer not wrong answer....if you want synopis plz see below...just do it in correct way..I can extend time till November 23, Hopefully you guys won't upset me...thanks Globalizing the Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting at AES Synopsis AES is a global power firm with operations in 30 countries and on five continents. The company operates in four business segments: utilities, contract generation, competitive supply and growth distribution. After going public in 1991, AES grew rapidly with much of its growth coming from its international expansion. The global economic downturn that began in late 2000 had a severe impact on AES. The company was hit by currency devaluations in South America, lower energy prices, and changes in the regulatory regimes for energy in some countries. AES?s deteriorating performance led to a steep decline in its stock price and the company?s market capitalization fell almost 95% over a two year period. The financial crisis led AES to create a new planning group, charged with valuing the company?s assets and developing a methodology for calculating the cost of capital for AES?s diverse businesses around the world. In the past, AES had used a 12% cost of capital to evaluate all projects worldwide. Rob Venerus, the director of the new planning group, aims to improve on this approach by developing a methodology that incorporates country risk and other risks specific to a project into the cost of capital for each project. Venerus has to decide if this approach, designed to provide a more accurate financial assessment of the company?s diverse international businesses, would actually improve AES?s financial decision-making. The case presents a methodology for determining a project?s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) that is based on a domestic CAPM familiar to most students, and then provides adjustments for country and project-specific risks. Students can use the methodology to calculate the cost of capital for several of AES?s projects in different parts of the world. In the process, students are forced to consider the economic justification for the widely varying discount rates that the methodology generates for various AES projects around the world, the use of sovereign spreads to measure country risk, and the appropriate way to do valuation in emerging markets. Suggested Assignment Questions 1. How would you evaluate the capital budgeting method used historically by AES? What's good and bad about it? 2. If Venerus implements the suggested methodology, what would be the range of discount rates that AES would use around the world? 3. Does this make sense as a way to do capital budgeting? 4. What is the value of the Pakistan project using the cost of capital derived from the new methodology? If this project was located in the U.S., what would its value be? 5. How does the adjusted cost of capital for the Pakistan project reflect the probabilities of real events? What does the discount rate adjustment imply about expectations for the project because it is located in Pakistan and not the U.S.?,Hello there, I have attached my case study of "globalizating the cost of capital and capital budgeting at aes" Please do not upset me...the case have to do in 6-8 pages long double space no less than 10 font size..also if you want i have send you synopsis and question also to make you easier to do paper...plz i have send you criteria to do for paper..plz do not up set me this time..
Question 4
Medieval Adventures Company was founded by Aaron Reinholz to produce a game marketed under the name "Castles and Unicorns." Each "Castles and Unicorns" cost the company $35 to produce. In addition to these production costs that varied in direct proportion to volume (so-called variable costs), the company also incurred $10,0000 monthly "being in business" costs irrespective of the month's volume. The company sold its product for $55 each. As of December 31, Reinholz had been producing "Castles and Unicorns" for three months using rented facilities. The balance sheet on that date was as follows: Cash = $146,250, Accounts receivable = 68,750, inventory = 35000, commmon stock = $250,000, retained earnings = 0. Reinholz was very pleased to be operating at a profit in such a short time. December sales had been 750 units, up from 500 in november, enough to report a profit for the month and to eliminate the deficit accumulated in october and november. Sales were expected to be 1,000 units in January, and Reinholz's projections shows sales increases of 500 units per month after that. Thus, by May monthly sales were expected to be 3,000 units. By September that figure would be 5,000 units. Reinholz was very conscious of developing good sales channel relationships in order to increase sales, so "casltes and unicorns" deliveries were always prompt. This required production schedules 30 days in advance of predicted sales. For example, Medieval Adventures had produced 1,000 "castles and unicorns" in december for january sales, and would produce 1,500 in january for february's demand. The company billed its customers with stated terms of 30 days net, but did not strictly enforce these credit terms with the result that customers seemed to be taking an additional month to pay. All of the company's costs were paid in cash in the month in which they were incurred. Reinholz's predictions came true. By March, sales had reached 2,000 "Castles and Unicorns," and 2,500 units were produced iin March for April sale. Total profit for the year by March 31 had reached $60,000. In order to get a respite from tthe increasingly hectic activities of running the business, in mid-April Reinholz went on a family vacation. Within the week, the company's bookkeeper called. Medieval Adventures' bank balance was almost zero, so necessary material could not be purchased. Unless Reinholz returned immediately to raise more cash, the entire operations would have to shut down within a few days. Questions - 1. Prepare monthly income statements, balance sheets, and cash budgets based on sales increases of 500 units per month and 30-day advance production for January through September. When will the company need extra funds? How much will be needed? When can a short-term loan to cover the need be repaid? 2. How is it possible that a company starts with $250,000 in capital and has profitable saoes for a period of six months and still ends up with a zero bank balance? Why did Medieval Adventures need money in April? How could this need have been avoided? 3. From your calculations and financial statements for Question1, derive cash flow statements for the months of March, May, and July from each month's beginning and ending balance sheets and income statement. Compare these derived cash flow statements with the cash budgets prepared directly in Question 1.,Thank you very much!! I truly appreciate your help :) I have completed most of the assignment myself; however, I want to make sure that I am correct, plus I'm stuck on a couple of areas and this will truly help me learn what I am doing wrong. Thanks again for your help!,Thank you so much for your help!!
Question 5
Calculating a bid price. Your company has been approached to bid on the contract to sell 17,500 voice recognition (VR) computer keyboards a year for four years. Due to technological improvements, beyond that time they will be outdated and no sales will be possible. The equipment necessary for the production will cost $3.4 million and will be depreciated on a straight line basis to a zero salvage value. Production will require an investment in net working capital of $95,000to be returned at the end of the project, and the equipment can be sold for $275,000 at the end of the production. Fixed costs are $600,000 per year, and variable costs are $175 per unit. In addition to the contract, you feel your company can sell 3,000, 6,000, 8,000, and 5,000 additional units to companies in other countries over the next four years, respectively, at a price of $285. The price is fixed. The tax rate is 40%, and the required return is 13%. Additionally, the president of the company will undertake the project only if it has an NPV of $100,000. What bid should you set for the contract? Show your calculations.,Hi Rachel, I know the deadline says that it's due on 6/3/2011 at 11 pm but I have a little bit more time. Please let me know if you can get to assignment any time soon. Thank you.
