Assessment Description
In biblical times, livestock was the indicator of wealth and, in essence, was the currency that was traded. Therefore, Proverbs 27 warns that it is important to know the condition of your flock and to give careful attention to your herds because riches do not endure forever. Relate this concept to the importance of the financial statements in today’s business environment. Briefly describe each financial statement and examine how each helps a business to “know the condition of its flock.” Participate in follow-up discussion by comparing your interpretation of this verse to that of a classmate.

The importance for networking is imminent today. Networking will help to grow a business by connecting with people looking for the service you are offering. This will help to broaden a demographic and give the business the ability to collaborate with other businesses. Proper networking can increase the types of products that you may want to sell as well. Services or goods could be exchanged for other services that may be of benefit in growing a business of a small stature.
When it comes with to negotiation and persuasion, it is worth mentioning that the strategy “win-win” does not mean that you should give away your position but rather look for alternatives clients can commit to from their own situation. You, as a consultant, can help them arrive at a solution without giving away your bargaining position.
Assignment Instructions
You have just moved to a medium-sized city and are looking for clients. Through your networking efforts, you have met the owners of three businesses who have expressed an interest in having you help them as a consultant. You do not have a lot of detail about these businesses, but that can be an advantage, since you can use imagination and creativity to suggest potential technology and/or non-technology-based solutions. Some areas worth exploring include recognizing strategies to identify current and potential target markets, rationalizing new products and services that will bring additional value to the business as well as to the clientele, current or upcoming improvements in infrastructure, area demographics, educational and cultural preferences, and competition, to mention a few. Make sure to read The Selling Process, in the Assignment Requirements below.

Client No. 1 – A small bookstore would like to expand what it offers to customers.

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?”
