Capital Investment 5 Sources of Finance for the Proposed CI Project and the Gap between the Theory and Practice of Capital Budgeting By Course Tutor University City/State Date Introduction Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: No need along introduction, and add a very limited contribution. Capital budgeting is one of the key processes businesses use to determine the potential of projects succeeding or failing to recuperate the initial financial investments. The process is very critical when large companies want to expand or introduce huge assets, which probably require colossal amounts of first cash investment as well as maintenance. These investments and projects can range from constructing massive new production plants to other long-term schemes. In such instances, business capital investment managers often spend a significant amount of time assessing the new project’s prospective lifetime success, including the cash outflows and inflows. This investment appraisal process is important in evaluating whether the potential outcomes or revenues generated can meet the target benchmark. After achieving a successful capital budgeting plan, it is critical that a firm evaluates its prospective financial sources to fund the proposed projects. For example, based on its financial position, the projected amount of investment capital, and the repayment duration, an organization can either opt for a bank loan or sells its equity to other potential investors. That being said, Foster Construction Ltd needs to assess a wide range of possible financiers to support the purchase of the new ALII. This paper, therefore, mainly discusses some of these capital financing proposals the company can explore, with the last section detailing the existing gap between theory and practice of capital budgeting. Discussion A. Sources of Finance for the Proposed CI Project Foster is a reputable company and boasts of a sizeable annual revenue-meaning that the firm cannot struggle to pay its debts. We truly have quite a range of options that can assist us to fund the new ALII capital project as a private firm. The following are some of the two most viable financial alternatives for the organization: Firstly, I propose we obtain a short-term loan, probably payable within four years, from a renowned financial institution or commercial bank. I strongly believe a short-term loan can assist the Foster Construction Ltd to buy and maintain the modern ALII crane and restore the old one for the next four years. However, there are critical factors that must be considered before identifying the right financier and the amount we can apply. Current and projected inflation rates in the country will definitely play a central role. We must also consider the interest rates offered by each particular organization to determine the lowest repayable amount within the four years. Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: Mismatch.

Capital Investment Case Waterways Corporation is a private company providing irrigation and drainage products and services for residential, commercial, and public sector projects, including farms, parks, and sports fields. It has a plant located in a small city north of Toronto that manufactures the products it markets to retail outlets across Canada. It also maintains a division that provides installation and warranty servicing in the Greater Toronto Area. The mission of Waterways is to manufacture quality parts that can be used for effective water management, be it drainage or irrigation. The company hopes to satisfy its customers with its products, provide rapid and responsible service, and serve the community and the employees who represent it in each community. Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays. In 2020 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has at its installation and training division. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have associated one-year maintenance agreements. The old backhoes are working well, but they do require considerable maintenance. The operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new equipment. The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes. Old Backhoes New Backhoes Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000 Salvage value now $42,000 None Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000 None Salvage value in 8 years None $ 50,000 Remaining life 8 years 8 years Net cash flow generated each year $25,250 $ 41,000 Instructions a. Using the following methods, evaluate whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.) Ignore income taxes in your analysis. 1. Use the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old. 2. Use the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.) 3. Compare the profitability index for each choice. 4. Compare the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate. b. Are there any intangible benefits or negatives that would influence this decision? c. What decision would you make and why?

Can We Know the Universe? The following excerpt was published in Broca's Brain (1979). by Carl Sagan "Nothing is rich but the inexhaustible wealth of nature. She shows us only surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep." — Ralph Waldo Emerson Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. Its goal is to find out how the world works, to seek what regularities there may be, to penetrate the connections of things—from subnuclear particles, which may be the constituents of all matter, to living organisms, the human social community, and thence to the cosmos as a whole. Our intuition is by no means an infallible guide. Our perceptions may be distorted by training and prejudice or merely because of the limitations of our sense organs, which, of course, perceive directly but a small fraction of the phenomena of the world. Even so straightforward a question as whether in the absence of friction a pound of lead falls faster than a gram of fluff was answered incorrectly by Aristotle and almost everyone else before the time of Galileo. Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage—at the very least the courage to question the conventional wisdom. Beyond this the main trick of science is to really think of something: the shape of clouds and their occasional sharp bottom edges at the same altitude everywhere in the sky; the formation of the dewdrop on a leaf; the origin of a name or a word—Shakespeare, say, or "philanthropic"; the reason for human social customs—the incest taboo, for example; how it is that a lens in sunlight can make paper burn; how a "walking stick" got to look so much like a twig; why the Moon seems to follow us as we walk; what prevents us from digging a hole down to the center of the Earth; what the definition is of "down" on a spherical Earth; how it is possible for the body to convert yesterday's lunch into today's muscle and sinew; or how far is up—does the universe go on forever, or if it does not, is there any meaning to the question of what lies on the other side? Some of these questions are pretty easy. Others, especially the last, are mysteries to which no one even today knows the answer. They are natural questions to ask. Every culture has posed such questions in one way or another. Almost always the proposed answers are in the nature of "Just So Stories," attempted explanations divorced from experiment, or even from careful comparative observations. But the scientific cast of mind examines the world critically as if many alternative worlds might exist, as if other things might be here which are not. Then we are forced to ask why what we see is present and not something else. Why are the Sun and the Moon and the planets spheres? Why not pyramids, or cubes, or dodecahedra? Why not irregular, jumbly shapes? Why so sym.

Cape Town contends with worst drought in over a century By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist Updated 1:35 PM ET, Thu June 1, 2017 (CNN)The worst drought in a century is forcing the most stringent water restrictions ever implemented for South Africa's second largest city. Cape Town has less than 10% of its useable water remaining for its nearly 4 million residents. The city is implementing Level 4 water restrictions, which ask residents to limit daily usage to 100 liters (26 gallons) per person. The measure is meant to reduce demand and conserve what little water is still available and means significant sacrifices for residents. http://www.capetown.gov.za/media-and-news/Water%20resilience%20a%20heightened%20approach%20to%20avoiding%20water%20shortages%20and%20achieving%20long-term%20water%20security For Cape Town resident Suzanne Buckley, the restrictions mean adapting to a new lifestyle. "We have buckets in our shower and bathroom sink to save excess water," Buckley said. "The gray water is then used to flush our toilets." The restrictions are in effect across the city in an aggressive effort to preserve its remaining drinking water, but it may not be enough. South Africa ranks as the 30th driest country in the world and is considered a water-scarce region. A highly variable climate causes uneven distribution of rainfall, making droughts even more extreme. Speaking to CNN, Cape Town Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille explained her concerns about the growing water crisis. "Climate change is a reality and we cannot depend on rainwater alone to fill our dams but must look at alternative sources like desalination and underground aquifers." The Western Cape, one of the country's nine provinces and home to Cape Town, experiences its annual rainy season during the winter months (June-September). Capetonians are likely several weeks away from any substantial, drought-relieving rainfall. Even then, predictions are dire for this winter as a potential El Niño develops off the west coast of South America, according to the Climate Prediction Center. If El Niño does materialize, it would have a negative effect on rainfall across the Western Cape. Severe water restrictions The average American uses between 80 and 100 gallons (302-378 liters) of water per day. This includes flushing toilets, taking showers or baths, brushing teeth, running dishwashers and watering lawns. Imagine restricting daily water use to 25 gallons. Some of the most basic tasks involving water that we take for granted would be eliminated or severely restricted. For Cape Town resident Kathy Basso, saving water has meant adopting the "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down campaign," a simple and effective measure that saves nearly 10 liters of water per flush, and has been promoted by city officials. Hotels across the city are closing their pools and asking patrons to be water .

Cape Town Water Crisis and the Efficient Use of Scarce Water By: Peter Ferrara Cape Town Water Crisis Overview As far back as 1990, water scarcity was talked about in South Africa, with an article in the Cape Times predicting the city would run out of water in 2007 Since then rapid population growth has played a role in the water conversation From 1995 to 2018 Cape Town’s Population grew 79% Population not sits at close to 4 million people including the greater metropolitan area 2014: cities water supply is 71.9% 2015: dropped all the way to 50% total capacity May 2017: water levels reach low of 10% capacity Water Restriction Timeline South Africa experienced a once in a century drought from 2015-late 2017 Water restrictions Jan. 1, 2016- level 2 Nov. 1, 2016- level 3, no use of hoses or sprinklers in residential areas Jun. 1 2017- level 4, water usage limited to 100L/person/day Sep. 3, 2017- level 5, water usage limited to 50L/person/day By Christmas Day 0 was set for April 21 2018 > Day 0 is the day when municiple water supplies would largely be shut off and residents would have to rely on 140 water collection points throughout the city to collect their water ration of 25 L/person/day > Day 0 was eventually moved back to May, then June, then July and eventually postponed to an undisclosed date in 2019 > while the intense drought has largely finished Cape town in not yet free of water scarcity Tourism According to the Tourism Satellite Account for South Africa report, tourism directly contributed to 2.9% of GDP in 2016 This may seem small however, the tourism sector is now a larger GDP driver than Agriculture Despite pressure from the drought, the tourism sector saw a net gain of 40,000 jobs from 2012 to 2016 Additionally it is hard to fully estimate how much revenue tourism generates because certain actions by tourists are categorized differently in GDP (buses and trains fall under transportation) Where does Cape Town go from here? While the drought may be considered over, Cape Town and South Africa in general most take further precautions to prevent a crisis like this happening again Recognizing that tourism is an essential driver of South Africa’s GDP, Cape Town must include its water usage in any and all water conservation methods moving forward. Possible solutions Desalination Centers Cape Town has already released funding to build 3 emergency desalination plants More Efficient Dam Drainage Systems Roughly 10% of their main water supply is unusable because it is too difficult to drain from the dam References Flynn, Jaqueline. “How Cape Town Defeated Day Zero-for Now.” Pulitzer Center, 23 Oct. 2018 “Chapter 9.” Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, by Thomas H.

Cantu was hired as a special education teacher by the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District under a one-year contract for the 1990–91 school year. On August 18, 1990, shortly before the start of the school year, Cantu hand-delivered to her supervisor a letter of resignation, effective August 17, 1990. In this letter, Cantu requested that her final pay- check be forwarded to an address in McAllen, Texas, some 50 miles from the San Benito office where she tendered the resignation. The San Benito superintendent of schools, the only official authorized to accept resignations on behalf of the school district, received Cantu’s resignation on Monday, August 20. The superintendent wrote a letter accepting Cantu’s resignation the same day and deposited the letter, properly stamped and addressed, in the mail at approximately 5:15 pm that afternoon. At about 8:00 am the next morning, August 21, Cantu hand-delivered to the superintendent’s office a letter withdrawing her resignation. This letter contained a San Benito return address. In response, the superintendent hand-delivered that same day a copy of his letter mailed the previous day to inform Cantu that her resignation had been ac- cepted and could not be withdrawn. The dispute was taken to the state commissioner of education, who concluded that the school district’s refusal to honor Cantu’s contract was lawful, because the school district’s acceptance of Cantu’s resignation was effective when mailed, which resulted in the formation of an agreement to rescind Cantu’s employment contract. Cantu argued that the mailbox rule should not apply because her offer was made in person and the superintendent was not authorized to accept by using mail. Is this a good argument .

Canons of Rhetoric: Speech Analysis So what are the characteristics of an effective public speaker? When beginning public speaking, students are asked the above question. It is often met with responses such as a strong voice, charisma, gestures, addressing the audience in a friendly tone, use of humor, and eye contact. These responses are very similar to one another; they are addressing a speaker's ability to perform for an audience. But this performance is complex, often including other important attributes, such as reasoning with solid information, explaining complex ideas clearly, and providing the audience a clear direction of where the presentation is heading. Situations similar to this one are not uncommon. Many people think of public speaking as the ability to control nerves in front of a group but neglect considering the importance of having ideas well organized before presenting them or practicing a lot to reduce those nerves. Some people think that because they have apprehension about speaking in front a group, they are completely inept in a public speaking situation. They are often surprised to find out that they are only looking at one piece of the puzzle. The Greek philosopher Aristotle and his contemporaries began writing about what has become the field of communication today. In writing about what was called the canons of rhetoric, they were laying the foundation for public speaking as we know it today. Four canons, or categories of criticism, were established: · invention, · arrangement, · style, and · delivery. Invention looks at the creation of ideas. When evaluating a speaker from this point of view, the critic may note whether or not the speaker was found to be an authority on the subject matter. This was known as ethos. The critic also may question the use of evidence presented by the speaker (known as logos) and whether the evidence seems to prove what the speaker leads the audience to think it proves. A speaker's credibility would be examined under this canon, and though opinion based, it plays an important role in a speaker's success. Questions asked under the invention canon might include the following: · How well informed is this speaker? · Does the speaker support claims with reliable evidence that is current and from a credible source? Arrangement allows a critic to analyze the components of a presentation to determine whether or not they accomplish what the speaker intends. For example, a strong introduction usually allows the speaker to capture the audience's attention, to address a central message concisely, and to provide the audience with a clear sense of what path the presentation will be taking. A critic looking at arrangement would be examining the arrangement of ideas and how they contribute to the overall message the speaker intends. Questions for this canon might include the following: · Were things presented in a way that was easy to understand and follow? · Do the introduction, body, and conclusion .

Lopez and Jacqueline Button, OISE, University of Toronto This case study examines the tensions of social justice and culturally relevant leadership. It also examines the challenges of school administration and building cohesive teams. This case engages readers in theorizing about social justice and culturally relevant school leadership as well as thinking about practical ways to make the endeavour of school leadership and administration more effective. We present the challenges faced by Arlene, a principal in her second year at a large diverse secondary school and some of her challenges building a cohesive team, dealing with the union, and within the construct of social justice leadership. Case Description Arlene is in her second year as principal at Yellowridge Secondary School (Yellowridge SS). Yellowridge is one of five secondary schools in Ridgecole, a growing city of over 250,000 people that is ethnically, racially, linguistically diverse. The city accurately represents the growing diversity in most of Canada’s urban areas. Yellowridge SS, like the city, is very diverse. The immediate area in which the school is located could be considered middle class, with families representing many racial and ethnic groups. Most of the housing is single dwelling, with a few rental apartment buildings. The school boundary also includes a low-income community with subsidized housing. Students from the low-income community are bussed to Yellowridge SS. Over the years the number of students bussed to the school has increased. The school is traditionally known for its strong academic program and high graduation rates. Arlene’s administrative team is diverse and consists of three vice principals. She is white. Cassandra, a white female is in her third year as vice principal at Yellowridge SS. Michael mailto:[email protected] Navigating in Stormy Waters 8 is the longest serving member of the administrative team. He is a white male and has been a vice principal at the school for six years. He is close to retirement and has no interest in becoming a principal. Melinda, a black female was appointed to Yellowridge at the same time as Arlene. She is very much interested in becoming a principal and sees Arlene as a mentor. Like most secondary schools in the area, the teaching staff of 110 is predominantly white. Of the one 110 staff at the school there were two black teachers, two South Asians, and one Asian. The staff is predominantly female. There has been very little staff turnover. A large percentage of the staff has been at the school for over 10 years. All teachers in secondary schools in the province are members of the provincial union, a registered trade union that negotiates with the school board on issues of salaries .

Among more than 300 product categories across the store, confectionery is growing faster than 184 other categories, with 92 of those showing declines, according to the National Confectioners Association (NCA).

Candice Shamsher · Assess the situation.- You have to know what type of situation that you are dealing with to be able to handle it efficiently. You don’t want your officers running into a gun fight when its actually a fire. What kind of situation are we dealing with? How many suspects are involved? Where is it taking place. There are all things to consider when accessing the situation. · Identify the danger zone. – Knowing where the danger zone is will keep the public out of harm’s way when dealing with the situation. · Establish an inner perimeter. - This would be the location where only authorized people would be allowed. This allows for law enforcement agents to keep control on the situation at hand. · Establish an outer perimeter. – I believe this falls along the same lines with the outer perimeter. This allows for some access to the safe parts. · Establish the incident command post. – This will help with keeping control of the situation. All information would be streamlined to this location. This is critical as with a ICP, everyone knows where their information is coming to and they know exactly where to report. · Establish the staging area. – Another critical piece because it allows a central location where resources can flow in and out of. · Request additional resources. – This is critical because if additional resources are needed, law enforcement knows how or who to go to. I believe that the NIMS & ICS policy philosophy is something that needs to be embraced by all of law enforcement as it can be looked to as a blueprint or better yet, a guideline to what needs to be done in case of catastrophe. Without this, it is easy for a critical piece to missed which could eventually result in more loss of lives George Jay Assess the situation is the first critical task for law enforcement; being able to understand what the situation is immediate could save lives. Law enforcement will respond to a call for shots fired and have to determine if its an active shooter or something different. We see this during the Las Vegas shooting were Las Vegas police officers discovered they were dealing with an active shooter. The next task would be to identify the danger zones. The officer who becomes the Isdent commander will have to start mapping out the hot, warm, and cold zone so that Emergency responders understand where to go. You don't want fire arriving in the hot zone while an active shooter is being engaged. having the tools to complete this task is essential. "Watch commanders and lieutenants use command stations that contain dry-erase boards, markers, notepads, and folders containing checklists from the department's critical incident management guide for various situations"(Phibbs & Snawder, 2014). The inner perimeter has to be established before the outer perimeter to protect the local population and ensure no one goes into a hostile situation. Once the inner perimeter has been established, you can use additional resources to develop .
