1. Financial Management. Please Do title page and leave some
space for the area where the team members will provide
initiative. (on same section, write down in details what you did
for this project, what you contributed to the project). Please
share 2 slides with notes, details of your research and citations
will be presented in the notes section of each slide in the
presentation) also please don’t forget to use in-text citation for
notes and at least 2-3 quality references. Since I am starting this
project you can answer the question #1. Legal implications.
For this group activity, you and your group will have three
weeks to complete a presentation based on the following case
study and research you will conduct on the regulatory rules
applying to insider trading. Although you and your team may
choose any presentation application or software, Microsoft
PowerPoint is suggested for this activity.
Research and Scenario
First, visit the following websites on insider trading:
· Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website regarding
insider trading.
· SEC enforcement actions (insider trading cases)
These websites will help you become familiar with the general
basics of the regulatory rules applying to insider trading. You
are not expected to become an expert on this topic. Apply these
rules to the facts of this very brief case:
Someone you know has knowledge of an impending merger
between two companies. The combination of the two firms will
certainly change the market dynamics of the industry.
Moreover, owners of stock in both companies will greatly
benefit once the news of the merger is publicly announced.
Project Requirements
Your presentation must consist of 6 to 7 slides that are clear,
legible and address the following:
· Discuss the general basics of the regulatory rules applying to
insider trading and its implications and address the following:

1. Legal implications
2. Ethical implications
3. Economic-social implications
· You must include a title slide in addition to the six to seven
slides. The title page must include:
1. The title of the project
2. The names of the group members
3. The area where the team member provided initiative
(contributed to the project).
· Each slide will include a bulleted list highlighting important
aspects of your research.
1. Details of your research and citations will be presented in the
notes section of each slide in the presentation.
Presentations will be assessed on both content (how well the
legal, ethical and economic-social issues are addressed), as well
as organization and grammar. Your presentation content must
look professional and adhere to the standard presentation
format. Therefore, check all content for grammar, spelling and
to ensure that you have properly cited all sources used in the
creation of the presentation using APA format. In other words,
although your notes are cited, the slides are not cited. As a
group, keep in mind the purpose of a presentation as it applies
to an audience.
Here are a few resources on creating a dynamic presentation:

Your presentation will be assessed using theBUS 5111 Group
Activity Presentation rubric.
2. Financial Management. DB Unit 7.
Your Discussion should be a minimum of 300 words in length
and not more than 450 words. Please include a word count.
Following the APA standard, use references and in-text
citations for the textbook and any other sources. Include at least

2 references and conclusion.
For this week's Discussion, provide an answer to the case study
questions with a recommendation.
Case Study:
The Exceptional Service Grading Company requires a capital
infusion of $500,000. It is currently a closely held corporation
with less than 25 shareholders. Although the shareholders are
not all related to each other, they all know each other, and they
view the business as a family business. The financial statements
should be familiar to you because you performed a basic
financial analysis of the company in Unit 1 of this course.
Several alternatives are available to the company, consisting of
the following:
· Obtain private debt financing
· Seek out a private investor(s) who would be willing to share
ownership (private transfer of partial ownership)
· Seek out offers for a private buy-out (private transfer of entire
ownership)
· Issue public debt (corporate bonds)
· Issue public common stock (public equity offering)
Briefly discuss each alternative and include implications to the
company’s capital structure and cost of capital, if any.
Considering the size of the investment ($500,000 infusion),
provide a conclusion on how it might impact the financial
statement reviewed in Unit 1. No calculations are required.
3. Financial Management. Written Assignment Unit 7.
Submit a written paper which is at 2-3 pages in length,
exclusive of the reference page. The Abstract is not required or
needed Papers must be double spaced in Times New Roman
font (or its equivalent) which is no greater than 12 points in
size. The paper should cite at least three sources independent of
the textbooks.
In this paper, please discuss the following case study. In doing
so, explain your approach to the problem, support your

approach with references, and execute your approach. Provide
an answer to the case study’s question with a recommendation.
Case Study:
The Comic Book Publication Group (CBPG) specializes in
creating, illustrating, writing, and printing various publications.
It is a small but publicly traded corporation. CBPG currently
has a capital structure of $12 million in bonds that pay a 5%
coupon, $5 million in preferred stock with a par value of $35
per share and an annual dividend of $1.75 per share. The
company has common stock with a book value of $6 million.
The cost of capital associated with the common stock is 10%.
The marginal tax rate for the firm is 33%.
The management of the company wishes to acquire additional
capital for operations purposes. The chief executive officer
(CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO) agree that another
public debt offering (corporate bonds) in the amount of $10
million would suffice. They believe that due to favorable
interest rates, the company could issue the bonds at par with a
4% coupon.
Before the Board of Directors convenes to discuss the debt
Initial Public Offering (IPO), the CFO wants to provide some
data for the board of directors’ meeting notebooks. One point of
the analysis is to evaluate the debt offering’s impact on the
company’s cost of capital. To do this:
· Solve for the current cost of capital of CBPG on a weighted
average basis
· Solve for the new cost of capital, assuming the $10 million
bond issued at par with a 4% coupon.
· Describe how you approached these calculations. Also discuss
the tax shield advantage that debt capital provides, and briefly
explain the cost of capital and WACC
· Provide a Table(s) to present answers (Students can transfer
their EXCEL Table if utilized)
Summarize findings
Superior papers will explain the following elements when
responding to the assignment questions:

· Provide narrative and solve for the current cost of capital of
CBPG on a weighted average basis (WACC)
· Provide narrative and solve for the new cost of capital
(WACC)
· Provide accurate WACC calculations for both scenarios
· Provide a Table(s) to present answers (there is a difference
between performing calculations and presenting the supporting
data and solved answers)
· Provide narrative on tax shield implications for both scenarios
· Provide narrative briefly explaining the cost of capital and
WACC
· Provide a clear, logical conclusion

Reputation. Retrieved from: http://www.alva-

profile-and-corporate-reputation/
Consider and discuss the following:
· How important is the reputation of a business?
· How important is CEO's reputation to the reputation of the
business itself?
· Is it better to have the reputation of being powerful or of
being fair? For example, do you want to be insured by a
company that always wins, or by an insurance company that is
willing to allow the benefit of any doubt?
· Goodwill is the technical word for the asset of a company
being worth more than the sum of its parts. How would you
measure the Goodwill of a company in dollar figures?
5. Business Ethics. Unit 7 Written Assignment

Case Study: A Good Team Player
Topic: Leadership
Involved Parties:
· Steven, Assistant Department Manager
· Kristin, Newly appointed supervisor of Steven's work team
Having done well as a staff accountant in the accounts payable
section of a major industrial firm for several years since his
graduation from college, Steven felt that he had learned much
about the “ins” and “outs” of survival in an intensely
bureaucratic organization. It is thus not surprising that he was
relaxed and unconcerned about his circumstances at the
company as he entered the employee lounge to attend the late-
afternoon welcoming reception for his new supervisor.
The new manager of accounts payable, Kristin, had been
transferred to Steven’s division from a similar position in
another subsidiary of the company because of her proven talent
for organizing and improving the efficiency of operations there.
A no-nonsense type of manager, Kristin was experienced and
determined to perform her new assignment with the same vigor
that had brought her so much success throughout her career.
At the reception, Kristin circulated through the room,
introducing herself to her new subordinates and asking each of
them if they had any suggestions that would help make the
payables section a better place to work. When she approached
Steven, he told her about something that had been on his mind
lately: that people seemed to him to gain promotions and be
given opportunities to work overtime based on who
liked them and not on the quality of their work. In reply, Kristin
politely stated that she would do everything that she could to
see that whatever it was he was referring to would have no
place in the team she would lead.
Upon his arrival at work the next day, Steven received a phone
call from Kristin’s secretary asking that he meet with his new
boss later that morning. He had barely entered her office for the
meeting when she looked him straight in the eye and said, “I

will not tolerate individuals in this organization who are not
good team players. Yesterday afternoon you led me to believe
that there are people in this office who are not acting in the best
interests of the company, and I want to know who. I want you to
tell me the names of the managers you were referring to note,
and keep me informed if you see anyone hurting this company,
or I’ve got to think that maybe you’re part of the problems
around here.” Stunned by both the tone and content of her
statement, Steven quickly tried to think of a way to respond.
How should Steven respond?

conclusion and references.
BP (British Petroleum) faced in 2010 a deep crisis as result of
an accident -the worst environmental disaster in the United
Stated up to date- in one of the prospection owned by the
company. 11 people died, the equivalent to 4.9 million barrels
were discharged in the Gulf of Mexico with devastating
consequence to the marine life and $42.2 billion were claimed
up to 2013 as civil liabilities.
Read the article “BP oil spill: Five years after 'worst

· Do you think that BP could have managed the crisis more
effectively? Why or why not?
· Could the reputational damage suffered by the company been
avoided by a better/more adequate response?
· Do you recall when the crisis was happening? What do you
recall hearing about it from the media? Was the company doing
enough to respond to the public at the time the crisis was
happening?

7. Operations Management. Unit 7. Written Assignment
Case Study: After completing your MBA at UoPeople and
acquiring experience in management in different companies,
you decide to start your own business that is environmentally
friendly and working towards creating positive social impact.
During the first 6-months, you focus on developing a value
proposal (any product or service of your choice) and
synthesizing it into a Business Plan. After this period the
operations of your company formally start. The next 3-years you
work very hard and you put all your time and energy toward
growing your business and you are successful. You take pride
in what you have built, almost single-handedly. Your choices
to take the high road in terms of the environment have
sometimes worked against you, but you feel good about the
work your company does, feeling that you are "doing well while
doing good.”
However, during your 4th year, you become frustrated. You’re
experiencing difficulties in winning bigger contracts because
you just cannot compete with larger companies and this is
hurting your company, your employees, and your reach. In order
to increase your competitiveness and to guarantee your long-
term sustainability, you decide to involve other organizations
and individuals to gain financial support. Obviously, this means
turning over the sole control that you have had in your
company. Your investors become shareholders of your company
with 75% of the shares, and they appoint you as CEO with the
expectation of obtaining a level of profitability higher than 15%
per year. If the company does not reach this figure, your
shareholders will replace you (keeping you out of the general
management of the company you started) and this will endanger
its continuity. While your shareholders have come aboard fully
agreeing with the company’s mission and vision, you are aware
that some feel profitability is most important and that you may
be asked to sacrifice ideals for money at some point. This is

something you have not had to do prior to taking on
shareholders.
As CEO of the company, your first order of business is
outlining a strategic plan for the next 5-years. The approach that
you need to take, to keep shareholders happy, is one that
maximizes profitability. However, you firmly believe that your
company should be environmentally friendly as well and
promote a positive social impact. This other approach will
create additional costs that put at risk the profitability required
by the shareholders. How would you/could you proactively
manage this dilemma?
In 2-3 pages describe your process for creating the 5-year
strategic plan, articulate the priorities of the plan and discuss
how you would convince the shareholders that this is the best
option. Be sure to identify the key performance goals that you
would target.
Before you begin writing, please see the General Guidelines for
Case Studies and review the assessment criteria below.
Papers will be assessed on the following criteria:
· Description of the Case and Identification/Coverage of Major
Issues
· Depth and Scope of Analysis
·
Solution
s and Strategies
· Writing Clarity and Quality
· APA formatting
8. Managing the global economy. Unit 7 DB

conclusion and references.
As we have discussed in previous units, cultural intelligence
contains four specific features: metacognitive and cognitive CQ
(cognition), motivational CQ (motivation), and behavioral CQ
(action).
· Discuss how these how features work together in conjunction
with Authentic Leadership. From the perspective of a leader
within your organization, focus on how each feature specifically
interacts with cultural intelligence and authentic leadership.
· Global leaders need to be able to nimbly adapt to different
situations, adjusting quickly. How does having high cultural
intelligence allow a leader to adapt to novel situations?
9. Managing the global economy Unit 7. Portfolio.
For this assignment, be sure that you have read this unit’s
reading:
Vogelgesang, G., Clapp-Smith, R. Palmer, N. (2009). The Role
of Authentic Leadership and Cultural Intelligence in Cross-
Cultural Contexts: An Objectivist Perspective. International
Journal of Leadership Studies, 5(2), 102-117. Retrieved

from: http://www.regent.edu/acad/global/publications/ijls/new/v
ol5iss2/IJLS_vol5_iss2_vogelgesang_authentic_leadership.pdf
Choose a highly visible leader, someone you admire and would
like to emulate. You will be looking to examine a situation
when a leader’s cultural adaptation, cultural intelligence, ethics,
and perhaps even moral and values have been tested and
applying his/her actions to your own, perhaps
developing, leadership style.
Consider the four factors of Authentic Leadership; discuss how
the leader rates in each of these areas. Also consider the issues
brought up in the reading for this unit, particularly ethics and
personal values. View the actions of the leader through
multiple lenses. Based on the cultural situation that was
discussed above, describe how the leader’s rating was impacted
by the way the situation was handled. Include whether their
behavior was favorable or not.
Why is this leader someone you admire? As you examined this
leader against the four factors of Authentic Leadership, did he
or she rate as highly as you thought? Look at this exercise and
who you want to be as a leader -- where do these things
converge?
Submit a 2-paper that both demonstrates that you understand
adaptive leadership and is also reflective in nature. If you use
any sources, be sure to cite them using APA format.

Assignment Steps
Create a minimum 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation,
including detailed speaker notes, in which you analyze your
choice of one the following markets or industries in the USA:
· The housing market
· Financial markets
· Commodity and stock markets
· An industry of your choice, such as the automobile industry,
the airline industry, retail trade, or any other major US industry
that suffered heavy losses during the Great Recession
Your analysis will extend from the beginning of the Great
Recession, which was December 2007, to the present and should

include the following:
· An Excel workbook with the following datasets:
· One dataset related to the U.S. housing industry such as
housing starts, the FHFA housing price index, or another dataset
of your choice related to the housing market.
· One dataset related to personal or household income or to
personal or household saving.
· One dataset related to the labor market such as the
unemployment rate, initial claims for unemployment insurance,
or another dataset of your choice related to the U.S. labor force.
· One dataset related to production and business activity within
the market or industry you choose to analyze.
· Find your datasets by using different internet data sources,
including, but not limited to, the Federal Reserve Bank of St.
Louis's FRED site, U.S. Dept. of Commerce's Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA), U.S. Dept. of Labor's Bureau of
Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, and The Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Using data
results analyze the economic and sociological forces that drove
the market equilibrium to unsustainable heights, commonly
referred to as "bubbles," and the shocks that brought the
markets back down.
· Discuss specific changes in supply and demand within the
markets and/or industries you chose to analyze.
· Determine whether specialization of industry had any

influence on the impact of the recession.
· Examine prior government policies and legislation that might
have exacerbated the impact of the shocks. Also, discuss
government actions/regulations that might be undertaken, and/or
have been undertaken, to moderate the effects of extreme
economic fluctuations.
· Evaluate the actions of the federal government (fiscal policy)
and the Federal Reserve (monetary policy) to restore the
economy and foster economic growth. Base your evaluation on
information available at Internet sources such as, but not
limited to, the Fed's The Economy Crisis and Response website
as well as other appropriate sources found on the Internet and in
the University Library. Be sure you address the effectiveness of
those counter-cyclical policies.
Purpose of Assignment
This assignment addresses how both monetary and fiscal
policies have been used during the so-called Great Recession,
which began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, to the
present to moderate the business cycle.
