Ross, S., Westerfield, R., Jaffe, J. & Jordan, B. (2016). Corporate finance (11th edition). New York, N.Y. McGraw-Hill Education.

STEP 2 – (Submit as an EXCEL spreadsheet)

Calculate the following time value of money problems. The calculations must be done in Excel. You must show your work. If you submit these in Word, you will not receive credit. If you do not show your work, you will not receive credit. Examples are provided above for review prior to starting this assignment. FOLLOW MY EXAMPLES!

1. If you want to accumulate $500,000 in 10 years, how much do you need to deposit today that pays an interest rate of 15%?
2. What is the future value if you plan to invest$200,000 for 15 years and the interest rate is 5%?
3. What is the interest rate for an initial investment of $100,000 to grow to $300,000 in 20 years?
4. If your company purchases an annuity that will pay $50,000/year for 15 years at a 11% discount rate, what is the value of the annuity on the purchase date if the first annuity payment is made on the date of purchase?
5. What is the rate of return required to accumulate $400,000 if you invest $10,000 per year for 10 years. Assume all payments are made at the end of the period.
6. See table below. What is the project cash flow generated for Project A and Project B using the NPV method? Which would you choose and why? Assume a 15% discount rate.
7. See table below. What is the payback period for Project A and Project B using the payback method? Which would you choose and why? You must calculate both problems for credit, even if the answer is obvious.

“Table showing investments and returns for Project A and Project B. Project A has $10,000 initial investment with $5,000 returns in each of the first 3 years. Project B has $55,000 initial investment with $20,000 in each of the first 3 years.”

Business Law & Ethics Argumentative Research Paper:

The following is a review of the information provided in Class 3:

Due to an ever-increasing array of ethics and legal issues in the global business environment, there are countless current topics on which to write your argumentative business law and ethics research paper.

This argumentative research paper is your opportunity to select a meaningful business topic wherein you should review documentation and evaluate data that will help you establish your opinion and position on the topic and issue you choose. Your argumentative essay should consist of existing, published literature and materials, as well as collected data, to present your understanding of the ethical/legal issue in an argumentative manner. Also, it is important to choose a topic that will enable you create a strong foundation on which to build your research and one where ample current material is available in libraries and on the internet. You will need to collect an abundance of statistical data and analyze it in an unbiased, logical way.

Finding a narrow, focused issue is essential to writing an excellent paper. Your task here is to find a topic that can be comprehensively researched—a topic and issue that it isn’t too broad nor too narrow. Then, your goal is to find the topic’s focus and the issues to be argued.

The topic you choose should attract the reader’s attention. The best business law and ethics topics are those that cause many people to voice their opinion. Therefore, it makes sense to choose a topic that is a bit more provocative because examining a controversial topic makes for a very interesting and engaging argumentative research paper.

In order to write a good and intriguing business research paper, your choice of topic should be in your field of interest. In addition to choosing an engaging topic, your research topic must be well-researched and backed up with facts. Also, you should focus on the ethical issues related to your chosen topic by addressing morality, duties, integrity, business behavior, and any other matter that is bad or good for the society, the company, or its employees.

After selecting a topic, conduct thorough research on the most current information available on your topic and related issues. In this ever-changing global business environment, business law and ethics issues and cases are constantly emerging. Therefore, when researching your chosen topic and supporting real life example and cases, you should utilize real cases that are happening right now, as well as any relevant older cases that supplement the topic. The cases in our textbook tend to include cases that are years old. Although many of the textbook cases are not particularly current, they can be used as background information and as precedent to support and/or counter your argument.

Accordingly, your task is to select an argumentative research paper topic related to a business ethics and law issue. Your research paper should: (1) Introduce your topic and briefly discuss the issue background; (2) set your position; (3) explore various viewpoints, (4) support your chosen position with evidence; (5) compare your position to the rest of the viewpoints, while making arguments that put your position at the forefront; and (6) Briefly summarize your position and rationale in the conclusion.

While your research, analytical, and writing skills are important in influencing your grade, and while you can choose any topic related to business law and ethics, the difference between a commonly researched topic and one of current importance and interest will determine your grade.

Once again, choose a business law and ethics topic that is interesting to you and can be easily researched and well-presented. Accordingly, it’s important to consider your subject, and your field of interest, and then find business research topic that you can effectively write about.

Just remember to take on a unique perspective on your research topic as this argumentative research paper provides you a great opportunity to write something innovative and potentially useful in your professional life.

Finally, by December 28, 2019, you’ll need to submit in Canvas your 10 to 20 page argumentative research paper.

Writing Tips for Business Ethics Research Paper:

• The research paper must be written in the APA Format to which Sofia University subscribes.
• The length of the paper should be 10-20 pages. Your work is evaluated on how effectively you address the topic and analyze the issue—it’s not graded on number of pages
• If you copy some lines from the original work of an author, you should provide them as quotations using proper punctuation marks in order to indicate that you are not plagiarizing. It is important to acknowledge another person’s ideas when you are utilizing their ideas to support or contradict your position. When quoting other works, utilize the requirements of the APA format.
• Regardless of the topic you select, make sure that you focus on one issue and do in-depth research on it.
• Concentrate on the issue you have chosen for your research in order to avoid wasting your time and efforts on information that is too general or irrelevant to include in your paper. Although you should research and write on the history, background, and/or conditions of your chosen issue, it is necessary only as introductory information and as precedent to support and/or counter your main issue and arguments. The mainstay of your research and writing should look at the current business environment with a glimpse toward the future.

THE COMPANY IS AMAZON

THE COMPANY IS AMAZON

Overview: You now know how to evaluate the equity of a company and analyze the market economy’s behavior. Using this knowledge, you will predict your company’s future behavior through forecasting, identify and describe business opportunities that the company should pursue, and explain the benefits and costs of these decisions. Prompt: In this milestone, you have two tasks. First, predict your company’s future behavior through forecasting, projecting its likely performance based on the most recent year of financial information. Then, explain the incremental impact of a hypothetical but reasonable and simple new investment project, such as a new product or facility or a cost-cutting investment, as an initial step in thinking about the future. To justify your findings and projections, you need to include accurate and relevant data tables that explain how the numbers were informed by existing information and model different scenarios. Be sure to address the following critical elements: IV. Projections: Using what you know about the company’s financial health and performance, forecast its future performance. In particular, you should:

A. Project the company’s likely consolidated financial performance for each of the next three years. Support your analysis with an appendix spreadsheet showing actual results for the most recent year, along with your projections and assumptions. Remember that your supervisor is interested in fresh perspectives, so you should not just replicate existing financial statements: You should add other relevant calculations or disaggregations to help inform decisions.

B. Modify your projections for the coming year to show a best- and worst-case scenario based on the potential success factors and risks you identified. As with your initial projections, support your analysis with an appendix spreadsheet, specifying your assumptions and including relevant calculations and disaggregations beyond those in the existing financial reports.

C. Discuss how your assumptions, forecasting methodology, and information gaps affect your projections. Why are yourprojections appropriate? For example, are they consistent with the company’s mission and priorities? Aggressive but achievable? How would changing your assumptions change your projections?
