Does recognition of residual value risk make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why?
CASE 17 QUESTIONSSEATTLE CANCER CENTERLeasing Decisions1. As a baseline, assume all cash flows have the same risk; that is, ignore residual value risk and use the same discount rate for all lessee and lessor cash flows.a. Should the Center lease the equipment? Should GBF write the lease?b. Who is getting the better deal? Explain.c. What is the maximum lease payment that the Center would be willing to pay? What is the minimum lease payment that GBF would be willing to accept?d. What factor influence whether the actual lease payment will be closer to the Centers maximum lease payment or GBFs minimum lease payment?2. This lease is attractive to both parties because there is asymmetry of inputs between the lessee and lessor.a. What are these asymmetries?b. What would be the result if there were no asymmetries? Prove it.3. The Center is considering the inclusion of a cancellation clause in the lease contract, in which it could cancel the lease at any time after giving a minimum 30 day notice.a. What impact would a cancellation clause have on the risk of the lease to the Center and the risk of the lease to GBF? Why? No additional calculations are required.b. What might GBF do to compensate for the change in risk? No additional calculations are required.4. GBF has indicated that it would be willing to write a lease at a rate of $7,000 per procedure. Compare the risk of the per procedure lease to the conventional lease from the perspectives of both the lessee and lessor. (Hint: Graph the annual profit of a per-procedure lease and the annual profit of an annual lease against the number of procedures and interpret the graph.)5. What would be the NAL to the Center if tax-exempt (municipal) debt financing was available to the Center? Would the availability of tax-exempt debt financing make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why? (Assume all cash flows have the same risk; that is, use the same discount rate on all lessee cash flows.)6. What is the NAL to the Center after adjusting for the riskiness inherent in the residual value? Does recognition of residual value risk make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why?7. Return to baseline assumptions. GBF will probably obtain a $1,500,000 simple interest loan from its bank at a cost of either 7 or 9 percent that it would use to leverage the lease. Should the lessor take the loan if the interest rate is 7 percent? Should the lessor take the loan if the interest rate is 9 percent? Justify your answer.8. If the Center decides to lease, will the lease be classified as a capital lease and shown directly on the balance sheet? Show your calculations.9. a. From the perspective of the Center, what types of financial risk are present in this decision? b. Finally, considering all relevant factors, including the possibility of obtaining a cancellation clause or a per procedure lease, what should the Center do, lease or buy?

Why is quality important in a project? Who should be in charge of quality on any given project?
Instructions: According to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), Fifth Edition, quality is a subset of management actions required to ensure that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken. Quality Planning typically achieves the least attention and yet is the most critical element of Project Quality Management. This lack of attention primarily occurs due to insufficient understanding about quality and how it is an integral part of a project. Project Quality Management is divided into three parts. Quality Planning is done first, while Quality Assurance and Quality Control are done concurrently. As the project progresses, the Quality Planning process may be repeated, prompted by changes in the project circumstances An iterative process that is influenced by scope, schedule, budget, procurement changes. The lack of an adequate Quality Plan inhibits the success of Quality Assurance and Quality Control efforts. (2013)Alternately, a project manager wears many hats. Every one of these roles involves dealing with people. If a project manager has these roles (leader, communicator, negotiator, problem solver, influencer, integrator), it obviously means they must develop the skills in these areas. That is why soft skills for project managers are absolutely critical. A project manager spends 90% or more of his or her time communicating. According to the PMBOK® Guide, human resources management is the processes required to make the most effective use of the people involved with the project (2013). Why is quality important in a project? Who should be in charge of quality on any given project? Discuss how you would go about developing a quality management plan for the course project you have been working on. What quality assurance tools would you use? Why? How would you measure and monitor quality control? For your given course project, discuss how you would go about obtaining the human resources needed to complete the project (both material and people)?Please see attached document for references.No introduction necessary, just two pages of material.Include at least 1 reference.Number of Pages: 2 Pages
