David believes that the appropriate analysis is to calculate the future value of each option. How would you evaluate this statement?
David Jetter graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an investment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve his goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to either Prentice University or Mount Alliance College. Although internships are encouraged by both schools, to get class credit for the internship, no salary can be paid. Other than internships, neither school will allow its students to work while enrolled in its MBA program. David currently works at the money management firm of Dewey and Louis. His annual salary at the firm is $50,000 per year, and his salary expected to increase at 3 % per year until retirement. He is currently 28 years old and expects to work for 40 more years. His current job includes a fully paid health insurance plan, and his current average tax rate is 26 %. David has savings account with enough money to cover the entire cost of his MBA program. The Ritt College of Business at Prentice University is one of the top MBA programs in the country. The MBA degree requires two years of full time enrollment at the university. The annual tuition is $65,000, payable at the beginning of each school year. Books and other supplies are estimated to cost $3000 per year. David expects that after graduation from Prentice, he will receive a job offer for about $110,000 per year, with a $20,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will increase at 4 % per year. Because of the higher salary, his average income tax rate will increase to 31 %. The Bradel School of Business at Mount Alliance College began its MBA program 16 years ago. The Bradel School is smaller and less well known than the Ritt College. Bradel offers an accelerated, one – year program, with a tuition cost of $80,000 to be paid upon matriculation. Books and other supplies for the program are expected to cost $4,500. David thinks that he will receive an offer of $92,000 per year upon the graduation, with an $18,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will increase at 3.5 % per year. His average tax rate at this level of income will be 29 %. Both schools offer a health insurance plan that will cost $3,000 per year, payable at the beginning of the year. David also estimates that room and board expenses will cost $2,000 more per year at both schools than his current expenses, payable at the beginning of each year. The appropriate discount rate is 6.5 percent. 1. How does David’s age affect his decision to get an MBA? Explain why? 2. What other, perhaps non- quantifiable factors affect David’s decision to get an MBA? Explain in detail. 3. Assuming all salaries are paid at the end of each year, what is the best option for David – from a strictly financial standpoint? Explain why in detail with calculations. 4. David believes that the appropriate analysis is to calculate the future value of each option. How would you evaluate this statement? So what is the future value of each option? 5. What initial salary would David need to receive to make him indifferent between attending Prentice University and staying in his current position? Explain in detail with calculations.
explain the distinction the article makes between secularism as “an approach to governance” and “lifestyle secularisms.”
You have three options for this homework assignment. Please answer one of the three questions below.
1) Please explain the title thesis of Wilensky-Lanford’s, “Gen Z’s Religious Affiliation Stats Are Confusing – But Only When Viewed from a Christian-Centric Perspective.” What does that mean? Include and interpret a direct quote from the article that expresses well its argument.
2) David DeStento, in his “Psychologists Are Learning What Religion Has Known for Years,” says, “I’ve come to see a nuamced relationship bweteen science and religion. I now view them as two approaches to improving people’s lives that frequently complement each other.” Explain a couple examples he provides of this relationship. Given his findings, what is his recommendation to his colleagues in the field of psychology?
3) “Secularism” is a word used in different ways by various people in various contexts, as we see in Yonat Shimron’s interview with Jacques Berlinerblau (“Secularism Is Not Atheism. A New Book Explains Why the Distinction Is So Critical”). Please explain the distinction the article makes between secularism as “an approach to governance” and “lifestyle secularisms.” Also, what do they mean by a distinction between “separationism” and “accommodationism?”
What is charisma, why is it important to leadership, and do you agree it can be learned?
1)Why do you believe leaders are born, or is leadership a learned skill? In addition to using two sources, such as the articles by Goleman and Kirkpatrick, support your response with a specific example.
2) What is charisma, why is it important to leadership, and do you agree it can be learned? Identify one (1) charismatic leadership trait and discuss how to developed it; support your response with a specific example.
Draw an entity-relationship diagram for the following case.
Homework 2, Problem 1, United Nations
Draw an entity-relationship diagram for the following case.
The United Nations wants to develop a global database, tracking countries, cities, and multinational companies. For each country, the UN wants to store its name, capital, population, and size. The UN assigns each city in the world a unique, global, numeric identifier. It also wants to record the name of the city, the name of the city’s mayor (or chief executive), its population, and its size in square miles. Obviously, a city is associated with only one country. Each city also has city-owned buildings. Each building a city owns has a type (fire station, police station, etc.) an address (its unique identifier), and the year it was built.
Each multinational company has a globally unique identifier, a name, a president, and the year it was founded. Obviously, a country has many companies operating in it and, by definition, a multinational company can operate in more than one country. Each company has many employees. Each employee has an employee number unique to that company, plus a name and year of hire. Some employees of a company manage other employees of that company.
The United Nations is also interested in the agricultural output of each country, based on each crop. A crop has a unique name (corn, wheat, etc.), the season in which it is harvested, and its watering requirements on a scale of 1-10. The UN also wants to track the annual yield of each crop in each country.
Homework 2, Problem 2, Happy Airlines
Draw an entity-relationship diagram for the following case.
Happy Airlines wants to develop a system to keep track of the history of its flights and other related entities in its business model. It is important to understand the meaning of a “flight”: it is a trip made by a particular airplane on a particular date. A flight is identified by the combination of flight number and date, since the same flight number is used repeatedly on different dates. A particular flight on a particular date had a duration that Happy Airlines wants to record.
Airports are identified by a unique airport code. Other information stored about airports includes the airport name and size in square miles. Flights and airports are related in two ways: the origin of a flight and the destination of a flight. Happy Airlines also wants to maintain data about the city that an airport is located in. Cities are identified by the combination of state name and city name, and, in addition, the name of the mayor is to be stored. Airports have hangars that are identified by hangar numbers that are only unique within an airport. The size of each hangar must also be recorded.
Pilots are identified by a unique pilot number. The system is also to maintain each pilot’s name and cell phone number. Some pilots supervise other pilots. Each flight is assumed to have one pilot. Pilots are required to take periodic training classes. A class is identified by a unique class name and also has a description and length in days. Pilots take many training classes over time and, obviously, training classes are taken by many pilots. Happy Airlines wants to keep track of the date that a particular pilot took a particular class and the grade the pilot earned.
The airline industry includes airplanes of many models. Each airplane model is uniquely identified by the combination of its manufacturer (e.g. Boeing, Airbus, etc.), and its model number (e.g. 767, 320, etc.). The system is also to record the base price of each such model. Of course, there are many airplanes for each of these airplane models. In fact, Happy Airlines owns or leases many airplanes. Each airplane has a unique serial number, plus the year it was built and its passenger capacity. Each flight utilizes one airplane, but a newly acquired airplane may not have been used on any flights, yet.
A pilot may be trained and qualified to fly one or more airplane models and, of course, there are many pilots who are qualified to fly each airplane model.
Finally, Happy Airlines wants to keep a historical record of the passengers on its flights. Passengers are identified by a unique passenger number (like a required frequent flyer number), plus their name and date of birth must also be stored. A passenger may have taken many flights on Happy Airlines and, obviously, each flight has many passengers. For a particular passenger on a particular flight, the system must store the fare the passenger paid and the assigned seat number.
You can use any software tool (visio.com, lucidchart.com, diagrams.net, etc. ) for the diagrams or you can hand draw them NEATLY and then scan or photograph them.
Your Chapter 2 diagrams should be in the style illustrated by Fig. 2-22 on Page 94, which, of course, is what the chapter was all about.
In general, draw the diagrams carefully and completely. At this point you must list all of the fields involved, indicate the name of the entity type and the unique identifier. You also must indicate both minimum and maximums in the links expressing the different types of relationships (e.g. one-to-many, etc.). Again, all of this is as shown in Fig. 2-22. Put another way, make sure you understand Fig. 2-22 before you attempt the assignments.
List four types of financial statements that the company’s annual report typically include.
Dilli Bista, MBA is the financial manager for Computron Inc. a large public corporation specializing in software manufacturing. The company designs and develops software programs that allow users to create their own documents, apps, animations, and other media content. Despite a huge investment made last three years in fixed assets, the company’s sales revenue and profit margins have decreased over the years because of the Covid-19 pandemic and complaints of some parents about the effect of video games on their kids’ social life and academic performance. Dilli is analyzing the company’s financial statements and annual reports to determine the financial performance of the company for the year and see how the performance can be improved.
Dilli noticed that last year the company had $4 million in operating income (EBIT). The company had a depreciation expense of $1 million and an interest expense of $1 million. The company’s tax rate is 25%. The company has $14 million in operating current assets and $4 million in operating current liabilities and has $15 million in net plant and equipment. The company has after-tax cost of capital of 10%.

i. total number of shares outstanding is 2 million
ii. current stock price is $35 per share
iii. total common equity is $68.2 million
10. Calculate the company’s return on invested capital (ROIC). Do you think Computron’s growth added value?

What decision should the firm make regarding operations over the short term?
1. You own a plant that produces 10,000 copiers per year. Your fixed costs are $80,000 per year. The marginal cost per copier is a constant $6. What is your break-even price? What would be your break-even price if you were to sell 60% more copiers?2. Suppose you make an initial investment of $60,000 that will return $20,000/year for five years (assume the $20,000 is received each year at the end of the year). Is this a profitable investment if the discount rate is 12%?3. A US company has revenue of $5.5 million and total costs of $9 million, which are or can be broken down into total fixed cost of $4 million and total variable cost of $5 million. The net loss on the firm’s income statement is reported as $2,000,000 (ignoring tax implications). In prior periods, the firm had reported profits on its operations.
- What decision should the firm make regarding operations over the short term?
- What decision should the firm make regarding operations over the long term?
- Assume the same business scenario except that revenue is now $5.0 million, and total costs of $7.5 million, which are or can be broken down into total fixed cost of $3 million and total variable cost of $4.5 million, which creates a net loss of $2.5 million. What decision should the firm make regarding operations in this case?
