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.

Social theory

One goal of social Theory is to illuminate connections between our individual experience and social processes.  would like you to do is to write an essay that shows how to apply some of the sociological theories we have learned this semester to analyze social forces and processes affecting and affected by your goal of earning a college degree . We’ve encountered lots of ideas about how social forces operate in society. This is your opportunity to show that you can apply sociological insights to make sense of how what and why you study in college affects and is affected by social processes large and small.

In the spirit of multiperspectival theorizing,Use three different sociological theorists to illuminate potential connections between your experiences seeking a college degree and the larger social processes that have been unfolding around you (in the past and/or the present).

What social processes would each theorist highlight? Be sure to pay attention to what the theorist would have to say about social influences unfolding at the micro- and macro-level.

Choose one theorist from each of the three groups listed below and present how she or he would tend to view social influences affecting and affected by your pursuit of a college degree. Some questions that might be relevant to your thinking about this are:

What social forces shape the content of my studies?

How do the academic institutions have attended fit within larger social and political forces operating in society?

How might what  have or am studying affect my own psychological processes and/or relationships with others?

Who benefits from the the way higher education is organized?

Who is hurt by this organization? These are just questions to get you thinking about how some of the theorists in the lists below might analyze your experience as a learner in this environment.

There are many others that may occur to you…just use the ones that you find most appropriate to each theorist you choose to write about.

Draw upon what we have covered in our discussions, the readings, and the posted instructor’s comments. Be sure to properly cite any quoted and/or paraphrased material drawn from these sources. There is no need to bring in additional sources.

USE theorist from EACH of the following groups (your essay will thus cover three theorists):

Patricia Hill Collins

Harriet Martineau

Dorothy Smith

you need to write about the perspectives of ONE theorist from EACH group. Every semester, someone makes the mistake of writing about three theorists from the same group… don’t let this be you.

Focus your argument to ensure that your answer does not exceed 1200 words (about five double-spaced pages using 12 point font). make sure to maintain the paragraph formatting when you enter your answer.
