What is the primary risk that Clark faces if she uses debt to finance the entire building purchase?

Did Alex Clark initially fund the business with equity or debt?

Initially, Clark’s chocolate business is very small. Compared to publicly traded companies, would Clark’s required rate of return on equity be higher or lower than the “average” required rate of return on equity for small cap companies of 15%? Explain your answer.

After the business was established, Clark talked about buying a building to expand. This is a good example of an investment project that a business must evaluate. Would the required rate of return for Clark’s building purchase be higher or lower than the overall chocolate company’s required rate of return? Explain your answer.

Should Clark use some bank debt to finance all or a portion of the building purchase?

Justify your answer by explaining how the weighted average cost of capital for the company would change if Clark uses bank debt to finance all or a portion of the building purchase.

What is the primary risk that Clark faces if she uses debt to finance the entire building purchase? For purposes of this discussion, assume that the debt would then comprise 95% of the company’s capital structure.

Explain, in your own words, why working capital investments are subtracted each year in the cash flows

Determine the NPV for the Electrobicycle project

Determine the NPV for the Electrobicycle project. Use the annual project cash flow from the table above. For the required rate of return, use the percent value from your birthday date. For example, if your birthday falls on the 16th of the month, the required rate of return would be 16%.

For guidance, review Section 7.1 of the textbook, NPV Example: The Pizza Scooter Delivery Project Revisited.

Calculate the NPV of the Electrobicycle project. Be sure to show your NPV calculations.

Explain, in your own words, why working capital investments are subtracted each year in the cash flows.

Explain, in your own words, the meaning of the required rate of return for the project.

Assume the auto company has a required rate of return of 15%. Based on the required rate of return you used for the Electrobicycles (based on your birthday date), is the Electrobicycle project more or less risky than the auto company? Explain your answer.

Based on your concluded NPV, should the company invest in this project to build Electrobicycles? Justify your answer.

Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction.

Alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Observe at least one grade K-12 classroom with ELLs. Focus your observations on how the alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction. Additionally, discuss with your mentor how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and English language proficiency (ELP) standards can inform instruction.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Write a 250-500 word summary of your discussion and observation, and reflect on the application of UDL to your future professional practice.

Your reflection should address the following:

How elements of UDL could inform ELL curriculum and instruction

A brief explanation regarding alignment between ELP standards and learning objectives

Examples of assessment tools used to measure and document ELL progress

Examples of at least two types of assessment data used to inform ELL instruction

Explain why it is appropriate for Optimus to value the Electrobicycle project using its WACC.

 

Imagine that you own a company, Optimus, Inc., which is funded with 40% debt and 60% common stock; there is no preferred stock in the capital structure. The debt has an after-tax cost of 4%. You have studied the Electrobicycle project, and you believe that the auto company who has done the research and development (R&D) has made a crucial mistake. You believe that after the first 5 years, there will be worldwide expansion opportunities and many more years of revenues and earnings from selling Electrobicycles. Thus, you would not shut down the project in Year 5. Instead, you believe you will be able to sell the Electrobicycle business in Year 5 to a multinational company that will continue to produce the products and sell them internationally for many years into the future. You believe the sale of the Electrobicycle business in Year 5 will be for at least $15.0 million. Thus, you believe the value of the Electrobicycle project is significantly higher than the auto company realizes.

For the initial post,

Calculate Optimus’ required rate of return on equity using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). For the CAPM, use the following assumptions:

Use a risk-free rate of 4.0%.

Use 6.0% as the market risk premium.

For the beta, use the beta below, according to the first letter of your first name

First Letter of First Name Beta

A through B 0.30

C through D 0.40

E through F 0.50

G through H 0.60

I through J 0.70

K through L 0.80

M through N 0.90

O through P 1.00

Q through R 1.10

S through T 1.20

U through V 1.30

W through Z 1.40

Calculate the WACC for Optimus. As a reminder, Optimus is funded with 40% debt and 60% common stock; there is no preferred stock in the capital structure. The debt has an after-tax cost of 4%.

Use the Optimus required rate of return on equity that you calculated using the CAPM.

Explain why it is appropriate for Optimus to value the Electrobicycle project using its WACC. Compare using the WACC to using solely the cost of equity in valuing the Electrobicycle project.

Do people who practice the custom view it as a human right violation? Are there members of the identified cultural group who view this practice as inappropriate? What do they say?

1. Respecting and understanding diversity is an essential component of this and most classes in undergraduate educations.

This has always been important but recent events like the killing of George Floyd and so many others has brought an unprecedented amount of just deserved attention to these issues.

So given these facts, this question will be intentionally controversial.

Should there be a limit to our respect for diversity?

By this, mean are there some cultural practices and customs that rise to the level of violating human rights?

Such topics may include female genital mutilation, the Sudanese law that requires a woman to obtain permission from her husband, father, or brother before she may leave the country?

Or how about the law in Saudi Arabia that forbids women to drive?

Another example may be Native American skin offerings.

As part of my Master’s degree experiences, attended the Sundance with a branch of the Lakota Tribe in South Dakota. vividly remember a 9-year-old boy engaging in a skin offering to alleviate the Epilepsy that had plagued his 6-year-old brother.
For this LA, research two customs that may violate deeply held values of your culture.

Discuss those customs in detail from their cultural perspective. Then answer the following questions:
Why is this custom continued?
Does the practice violate a human right? Why/why not?
What is your view of the practice?
Do people who practice the custom view it as a human right violation?
Are there members of the identified cultural group who view this practice as inappropriate? What do they say?
If this custom should be changed, how would you go about doing it?
