PREMIER PRODUCTS, INC.
Premier Products, Inc. manufactures tennis rackets. Premier Products has grown extensively over the past two years. While the company has been very profitable, President Mark Harrison is concerned with its ability to cost products accurately. Some products appear to be very profitable while others, which should be showing a profit, seem to be losing money. The production manager is convinced that his production processes are as efficient as any in the industry, and he is unable to explain the apparent high cost of producing some of the products.
Harrison agreed with his production manager and is convinced that the cost accounting system is at fault. He has hired Tom Arnold, a management consultant, to analyze the firm's costing system. Arnold has documented the existing costing system. It is a very simple system that uses a single allocation rate for all overhead costs. The overhead rate for the year is determined by adding together the budgeted variable and fixed overhead costs and dividing this sum by the number of budgeted labor hours. The standard cost of a product is found by multiplying the number of direct labor hours required to manufacture that product by the overhead rate and adding this quantity to the direct labor and material costs.
Arnold is convinced that the company's costing system is partially to blame for some of the firm's problems. He has assembled data for four of Premier's products. He has put together the actual costs required for each of these products in Table A. These costs will serve as the benchmark against which the results of different allocation schemes can be evaluated.
Of course, in real life we could never start out with accurate actual costs - accurate actual costs would be the end result that we would attempt to determine. But we provide this information as a learning aid to help you to clearly understand the key issues. Table A is as follows:

Overview:The connect question requires creation of posted transactions common to manufacturing companies to inventory T-accounts. This assignment builds on these transactions with additional detail relating to the application and incurrence of overhead. Students will complete journal entries and common reports relating to the activity through the cost accounts, including clearing any over- or under-applied overhead. Budgeted/estimated, applied and actual overhead will be examined using multiple application methods including traditional predetermined rates and activity-based costing. Various methods of overhead application will be compared in totality as well as more specifically at a job level basis. Students also will explore the impact of overhead costing in the bidding process typical of companies using job costing.
Use “given” and your “results” from HW 2.1 Question 15 on CONNECT relating to Lock-Tite Company to complete the Project requirements below. Make sure you are using CORRECT answers from connect.
1) Write journal entries in good format for Lock-Tite Company for the following transactions for the period as calculated/given in the problem on CONNECT.

2) Adjusting Factory Overhead: Use these T-accounts to complete the requirements below:
COGS
Unadjusted Balance from connect
AJE
Adjusted COGS balances
Factory Overhead
Unadjusted Balance
AJE
Adjusted COGS balances
a) Include the unadjusted balances in the T accounts above. The COGS unadjusted balance can be found in the partial income statement underneath the T accounts on Question 11 of connect HW2.1 assignment. The unadjusted Factory Overhead balance is the last row of the Factory Overhead T account again in Question 15 of connect HW2.1 assignment.
b) Assume Lock-Tite clears all its under- or over-applied overhead to cost of goods sold. Write the “adjusting” journal entry to zero the Factory Overhead account.
c) Post the journal entry to the COGS and FOH T accounts above 2a and calculate the “adjusted balances for ...

Overview:The connect question requires creation of posted transactions common to manufacturing companies to inventory T-accounts. This assignment builds on these transactions with additional detail relating to the application and incurrence of overhead. Students will complete journal entries and common reports relating to the activity through the cost accounts, including clearing any over- or under-applied overhead. Budgeted/estimated, applied and actual overhead will be examined using multiple application methods including traditional predetermined rates and activity-based costing. Various methods of overhead application will be compared in totality as well as more specifically at a job level basis. Students also will explore the impact of overhead costing in the bidding process typical of companies using job costing.

FIN449
Individual Final Project
Introduction:
Valuation can be oversimplified, and frequently is. This, however, does not mean that we should always take the most time-consuming path to valuation. Among the things you have learned this term is that each company is different: They report differently even though they all use GAAP. They create revenue, profits and cash flows differently even though they are all in the same economy (and sometimes in the same sector).
Your project is to value a firm thoroughly, but to simplify your valuation as much as you can without losing clarity in examining the most crucial aspects of the firm. For example, understanding the growth of fixed assets and its relationship to the creation of revenue may require detailed analysis, or a more simple trend forecast may be appropriate. Whether your work is simple or complicated, be aware that if you create unrealistic forecasts, you will be graded down.
Assignment:
Choose a company to value for the final project. The company MUST be publicly traded and based in the USA. I recommend you pick a company which is not in distress and which has at lease 5 years of solid financial performance to examine in your analysis.
For this project, you are not required to model complete financial statements (as in the team project). You should model only those line items crucial to your valuation. At a minimum, you should model the following for at least five years in the future:
· Revenue
· Direct costs
· Depreciation
· Operating income
· Operating assets
· Operating liabilities
· Financial leverage
· Interest expense
You should compare the forecast figures to the past five years and include thorough explanations of your reasoning for each item you model. Use ratio analysis, common-size figures and growth analysis if it helps illustrate your reasoning.
Required:
Value the company using the three DCF methods (FCFE//Ke, FCFF//WACC and APV). Include:
· Detailed computation of FCFF and FCFE
· Detailed explanations of assumptions in your costs of capital
· Comparison of these DCF valuations to other methods, such as PE, EV/EBITDA, etc.
· Identify which value you believe is the true intrinsic value.
· A comparison of your intrinsic equity value per share to the market price per share at the date of interest.
Work will be graded according to the following rubric:
- Process (e.g. documented assumptions, robust analysis, follows accepted steps, etc.)
- Legitimacy (e.g. forecasts are realistic, inputs & outputs make economic sense, follow reasonable patterns, are due to identifiable causal relationships, etc.)
- Technique (e.g. correct computations are chosen, computations are made properly)
- Thoroughness (e.g. Double check results vs other methods: FCFE//Ke, FCFF//WACC, APV, multiples…)
- Completeness (e.g. all required elements are present)
The written portion is a technical discussion of your valuation: Why the method(s) you used for your final valuation opinion ...

Application of Standards of Care
Discuss the standard(s) of care to which the parties will be held in this case scenario. How will the standards of care and your state’s Nurse Practice Act be applied in the courts if the case is sued?
Case Scenario
SK, age 61, went to the hospital with what she thought was a bad cold, and was admitted with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Following admission, she became increasingly feverish and short of breath, but her family’s calls for help went unanswered. In fact, her daughter was unable to find anyone when she went to the nurses’ station looking for help. The patient eventually stopped breathing, and someone finally responded to the family’s desperate and frantic calls for help. SK was successfully resuscitated, but sustained brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. She was left unable to walk, talk, or care for herself.
Because of nurse understaffing in the hospital, her assigned RN had not assessed her often enough and did not monitor her oxygen level. There were 41 other patients on this unit. Although the hospital’s own staffing standards called for five registered nurses and two licensed practical nurses to staff this unit, only three registered nurses were on duty. Records for the unit in question indicated that the hospital failed to meet its own staffing standards for 51 out of 59 days before this incident.

FIN449
Individual Final Project
Introduction:
Valuation can be oversimplified, and frequently is. This, however, does not mean that we should always take the most time-consuming path to valuation. Among the things you have learned this term is that each company is different: They report differently even though they all use GAAP. They create revenue, profits and cash flows differently even though they are all in the same economy (and sometimes in the same sector).
Your project is to value a firm thoroughly, but to simplify your valuation as much as you can without losing clarity in examining the most crucial aspects of the firm. For example, understanding the growth of fixed assets and its relationship to the creation of revenue may require detailed analysis, or a more simple trend forecast may be appropriate. Whether your work is simple or complicated, be aware that if you create unrealistic forecasts, you will be graded down.
Assignment:
Choose a company to value for the final project. The company MUST be publicly traded and based in the USA. I recommend you pick a company which is not in distress and which has at lease 5 years of solid financial performance to examine in your analysis.
For this project, you are not required to model complete financial statements (as in the team project). You should model only those line items crucial to your valuation. At a minimum, you should model the following for at least five years in the future:
· Revenue
· Direct costs
· Depreciation
· Operating income
· Operating assets
· Operating liabilities
· Financial leverage
· Interest expense
You should compare the forecast figures to the past five years and include thorough explanations of your reasoning for each item you model. Use ratio analysis, common-size figures and growth analysis if it helps illustrate your reasoning.
Required:
Value the company using the three DCF methods (FCFE//Ke, FCFF//WACC and APV). Include:
· Detailed computation of FCFF and FCFE
· Detailed explanations of assumptions in your costs of capital
· Comparison of these DCF valuations to other methods, such as PE, EV/EBITDA, etc.
· Identify which value you believe is the true intrinsic value.
· A comparison of your intrinsic equity value per share to the market price per share at the date of interest.
Work will be graded according to the following rubric:
- Process (e.g. documented assumptions, robust analysis, follows accepted steps, etc.)
- Legitimacy (e.g. forecasts are realistic, inputs & outputs make economic sense, follow reasonable patterns, are due to identifiable causal relationships, etc.)
- Technique (e.g. correct computations are chosen, computations are made properly)
- Thoroughness (e.g. Double check results vs other methods: FCFE//Ke, FCFF//WACC, APV, multiples…)
- Completeness (e.g. all required elements are present)
The written portion is a technical discussion of your valuation: Why the method(s) you used for your final valuation opinion ...

Application of Standards of Care
Discuss the standard(s) of care to which the parties will be held in this case scenario. How will the standards of care and your state’s Nurse Practice Act be applied in the courts if the case is sued?
Case Scenario
SK, age 61, went to the hospital with what she thought was a bad cold, and was admitted with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Following admission, she became increasingly feverish and short of breath, but her family’s calls for help went unanswered. In fact, her daughter was unable to find anyone when she went to the nurses’ station looking for help. The patient eventually stopped breathing, and someone finally responded to the family’s desperate and frantic calls for help. SK was successfully resuscitated, but sustained brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. She was left unable to walk, talk, or care for herself.
Because of nurse understaffing in the hospital, her assigned RN had not assessed her often enough and did not monitor her oxygen level. There were 41 other patients on this unit. Although the hospital’s own staffing standards called for five registered nurses and two licensed practical nurses to staff this unit, only three registered nurses were on duty. Records for the unit in question indicated that the hospital failed to meet its own staffing standards for 51 out of 59 days before this incident.

Appliance Warehouse Service Plan.
The discussion focuses on the appliance Warehouse Service Plan that is made up of the testing plan, an implementation plan and the training plan for the sake of the bettering of services in a warehouse. The testing plan is meant to manage the systems through QA standards meeting the needs of the customers. The implementation plan elaborates and indicates whether one should use parallel, direct, phased, or pilot changeover strategies. The training plan, on the other hand, indicates what a training plan would include for affected employees, such as appointment setters, technicians, management, and the parts department.
Testing Plan
The main reason for the testing plan is to validate and verify the information from the main source or the end to end target warehouse. The two major testing plans for include program testing and acceptance testing (Lewis, 2017). The plan should verify the following, the business required documents, ETL design for the documents, sources to target on the mapping process and the data model for the source and the target schemas. The documents that are considered are meant for the ETL development process in the testing plan. The testing plan is meant further for the supervisors or the quality analysis team to confirm that the work is concerning the objective of the organization. The process of testing might also include the configuration management system and the data quality validation and verification process.
Implementation Plan
The plan for the implementation of the systems is the same as the process that is considered during the development process of the entire system to meet the goals of the organization. The steps to consider for the whole plan of the implementation include the analysis and the enhancement requests, the writing of very simplified and new programs, restructuring of the database, analysis of the program library and its cost, and the reengineering of the test program. The first phase parallels the analysis phase as the parallel strategy is considered for the entire process, which entails the analysis phase of the SDLC. The steps two to four process entails the combining and the construction activities that are done on a new system majorly on a small scale. The last step is meant to parallel the testing that is commonly done during the implementation process. The testing process ensures that the process is free of risk as a quality assurance process (Liang & Hui, 2016).
Training Plan
The training plan should be made up of a training matrix in which it will guide them to know who needs the training what they need from the training and why they want the training not forgetting when they need the training(Kwak,2016). The matrix will allow for the planning and the preparation for the training avoiding scrambling when the due date for the training comes around. The requirements are automatically updated when the employees get done with the first training before transferri.

Ape and Human Cognition What’s theDifferenceMichael To.docxRAHUL126667
Ape and Human Cognition: What’s the
Difference?
Michael Tomasello and Esther Herrmann
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
Abstract
Humans share the vast majority of their cognitive skills with other great apes. In addition, however, humans have also evolved a
unique suite of cognitive skills and motivations—collectively referred to as shared intentionality—for living collaboratively,
learning socially, and exchanging information in cultural groups.
Keywords
apes, culture, cognition, evolution, cooperation
Surely one of the deepest and most important questions in all of
the psychological sciences is how human cognition is similar to
and different from that of other primates. The main datum is this:
Humans seemingly engage in all kinds of cognitive activities that
their nearest primate relatives do not, but at the same time there is
great variability among different cultural groups. All groups have
complex technologies but of very different types; all groups use
linguistic and other symbols but in quite different ways; all
groups have complex social institutions but very different ones.
What this suggests is that human cognition is in some way bound
up with human culture. Here we argue that this is indeed the case,
and we then try to explain this fact evolutionarily.
Similarities in Ape and Human Cognition
The five great ape species (orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees,
bonobos, humans) share a common ancestor from about 15 mil-
lion years ago, with the last three sharing a common ancestor
from about 6 million years ago (see Fig. 1 for a picture of chim-
panzees). Since great apes are so closely related to one another
evolutionarily, it is natural that they share many perceptual,
behavioral, and cognitive skills.
Great ape cognitive worlds
Many different studies suggest that nonhuman great apes (here-
after great apes) understand the physical world in basically the
same way as humans. Like humans, apes live most basically in
a world of permanent objects (and categories and quantities of
objects) existing in a mentally represented space. Moreover,
they understand much about various kinds of events in the
world and how these events relate to one another causally (see
Tomasello & Call, 1997, for a review). Apes’ and other
primates’ cognitive skills for dealing with the physical world
almost certainly evolved in the context of foraging for food.
As compared with other mammals, primates may face special
challenges in locating their daily fare, since ripe fruits are pat-
chy resources that are irregularly distributed in space and time.
Other studies suggest that great apes understand their social
worlds in basically the same way as humans as well. Like
humans, apes live in a world of identifiable individuals with
whom they form various kinds of social relationships—for
example, in terms of dominance and ‘‘friendship’’—and they

Hello Ms. Chimera & Class,
Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to academics and the professional world. Thanks to my experience as a financial ops generalist, I have gained great communication skills. I am responsible for contacting vendors to address or fix any issues we may have with the service or product. I have also completed training on effective communication at my current job. This training was helpful being that I have to regularly speak with offenders family members as well. Another one of my strengths is that I am very reliable. My previous supervisor would always assign me extra duties when she had a deadline to meet because she knew that I would make sure it was done by the deadline. An academic weakness that I have is writing papers, I tend to procrastinate when it comes to having to write them. I have found that the writing center is very helpful. The university's library is helpful when having to do research. I have used the citation generator numerous times in the past to help with citations. If you have trouble with citations, this is a good resource or tool to use.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Calculations for your Equity Analysis assignmentTo start, put .docx
1. Calculations for your Equity Analysis assignment
To start, put this section after of your paper’s RERFERENCES
page. You’ll have a page (probably more) for
CALCULATIONS and then an APPENDIX where you should
paste the extra detail of the work you did.
I have provided a sample (immediately below) of what I’d like
pasted into the this section of your project. I would like you to
bold and underline the actual answer for each calculation. For
example:
· Betai VHT = 0.48294
NOT SHOWN in my example below: Your data table for Beta
and other calculations should be pasted into your appendix as a
JPG (to reduce false positives in the plagiarism scanning). An
appendix is required, as is a reference page using an acceptable
citation format. If you do your other calculations with a
calculator and choose to paste in all the detail you see below –
for example, “gsimple = ( 1 – 0.1700 ) * 0.1991 = 0.1653”, that
is fine. Don’t create extra work for yourself, but the input
values that got you to your answer are necessary.
When you get to the Guidelines to do the Calculations, you will
see that I have bolded everything you should copy and paste
into your submission. Just bold and underline the actual
answer. All of this is to help you not forget to provide
something important, and it helps me grade your work.
With the exception of the Beta and Options Spread, all values
you will need to do these calculations are included in an
updated spreadsheet “Company and Industry data – equity
analysis 2016.” The only new data added are the prices for each
company when I got the data from Yahoo. Make sure you use
2. the “STOCK PRICE (P0)” provided in the spreadsheet or your
calculations will be off.

END sample =====================
GUIDELINES to do the CALCULATIONS
Below are detailed steps for each calculation with guidance as
to what I should recieve in your final submission. It may look
complex, but it’s just a summary of what you’ve learned
throughout the course.
What is below in BOLD – including intermediate calculations
and input values – should be pasted into your Word submission
so I can more easily check your work. You are also required to
upload your Excel sheet with your Word submission in case I
need to check it further.
You may start with the spreadsheet of Yahoo data I provided, or
begin with a blank spreadsheet and copy the data you need in,
but your spreadsheet work should be your own, and you need to
5. upload it to Canvas to get credit on this part of the assignment.
Just to clarify, there is nothing to say you can’t study and/or
work together to understand how to do things, but what you do
and what you submit needs to be your own original work here
(and in the rest of the project, of course).
For Beta and your Options Spread, you will need to download
new data from Yahoo Finance. For all other calculations below,
use the spreadsheet provided. I will be checking your
submission with my own calculations for your assigned
companies.
1. BETA (10 points): Calculate Beta for your assigned firm
using “VHT” as a proxy for the “market”
· Download 37 months of Yahoo price data and calculate 36
months of returns and risk premiums per the “Calculating Beta”
PDF and related video.
· Important: Use the September 30, 2016 as the last month in
your pricing and returns data so that everyone is using the same
final, full month in their calculations.
· ALSO, substitute the ETF VHT as the benchmark against
which you will calculate Beta. This will measure your
company’s risk relative to the Health Care Sector, rather than
the risk relative to the S&P500, a value which is readily
available elsewhere.
· Remember to adjust the ^IRX values correctly and calculate
on the risk premium and not the unadjusted returns of both your
stock and the benchmark (which, again, is VHT and not ^GPSC
for our exercise).
· If you have already calculated your Beta using the ^GPSC
index from Yahoo, i.e. the S&P500 index values, just take a
couple minutes to download and copy/paste in the values for
VHT, and this should automatically update to the requested Beta
· Ignore the PDF and video’s suggested way to calculate ‘k’ as
6. we will be doing a different version below using the current
stock price, expected growth and earnings.
· It is not required that you discuss this different Beta in your
report, but you may or may not find it relevant to discuss.
· Betai VHT = 0.48294(LDR example)
· Also provide average values for each of your columns of data
used so I can check your work.
· LDR36-moAvgRet = 0.004827
· VHT36-moAvgRet = ____________
· you’ll need to calculate these, remember it’s VHT not ^GSPC
· T-Bill36-moAvgRet = ____________
· And adjust the ^IRX correctly
· LDRRiskPrem = 0.004751935
· VHTRiskPrem = 0.011510395
· Remember that you use =SLOPE ( ) or run your regression on
these “risk premium” values not just the returns
· Last thing for Beta, as stated above – paste your Excel data
table into your paper’s Appendix as a JPG. Any other
calculations you did in Excel for the values below should also
be pasted into the Appendix. If you do things on your
calculator, paste in some version of the formulas you see in my
examples below.
2. GROWTH (10 points): Calculate growth three ways from
methods provided in Lecture 12 for your firm’s Industry and the
firm itself.
Industry values: For Industry values use Excel formula
=AVERAGE( ) on the appropriate rows/cells for your firm’s
Industry. Below are the results for the Health Care Services
industry
· Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday):18.2168 (these are all industry
means)
· Forward P/E (fye Jun 30, 2018)1:15.7994
· PEG Ratio (5 yr expected)1:1.2000
7. · Return on Equity (ttm):0.1991
· Payout Ratio4:0.1700
Now calculate growth three ways for your Industry (Health Care
Services example provided)
· gsimple = b * ROE
· ( 1 – 0.1700 ) * 0.1991 = 0.1653
· Note that ‘b’ = the retention or plowback ratio, and ‘b’ = (1 –
Payout Ratio)
· g0-1yr = the growth rate of earnings implied by the P/ETTM
and P/EForward
· 18.2168 / 15.7994 – 1 = 0.1530
· gPEG = is the growth rate implied by the PEG ratio (5 year
growth assumption)
· 15.7994 / 1.20 = 13.166
· Note that growth here when extracted from the PEG ratio is
always presented as a percentage, i.e. 13.166%. This value is
not 1316.6%.
Assigned company (example): Landauer (LDR):
· Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday):23.67
· Forward P/E (fye Jun 30, 2018)1:22.34
· PEG Ratio (5 yr expected)1:1.73
· Return on Equity (ttm):103.03%
· Payout Ratio4:59.46%
For Landauer, the input values and calculations would be
· gsimple = b * ROE
· ( 1 – 0.5946 ) * 1.0303 = 0.4179
· Note that the industry estimate above is already high for an
estimate of future growth into perpetuity. This result of 41.79%
is the result of what is probably a very good but not sustainable
1-year, trailing ROE.
· Therefore this “simple” estimate of growth will only be as
accurate as the ROE used.
· g0-1yr = the growth rate of earnings implied by the P/ETTM
and P/EForward
8. · 23.67 / 22.34 – 1 = 0.0595
· You can see here that the consensus estimate for growth from
all analysts – which is the result of taking the current and ever-
changing Price of the stock (P0) and dividing it by EPS1
(average estimate for future earnings) – is MUCH lower than
the result for gsimple.
· gPEG = is the growth rate implied by the PEG ratio (5 year
growth assumption)
· 22.34 / 1.73 = 12.9133
· Note that the 5 year growth estimate for Landauer (12.9133%)
is much closer to the 5 year average estimate for the Health
Care Services industry (13.166% above).
· ALSO, remember to adjust this percentage value to 0.129133
when using it for your calculations.
3. DISCOUNT RATE (6 points): Estimate the discount rate
(‘k’) the market is factoring into the price of your company’s
stock using the Growth Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
· Where Stock price (P0) = Div1 / ( kDDM – gPEG ), solve for
what we’ll call ‘kDDM’.
· Estimate Div1 by growing Diluted EPS (the trailing year’s
earnings) to EPS1 by growing it by the 1 year growth you
calculated from the P/Ettm and P/EForward calculation above
for your company.
· That is, EPS1 = ( 1 + g0-1yr )* EPS0
· Div1 = EPS1 * Payout Ratio
· P0 = the then-current stock price for your company = 43.81
(Landauer example)
· EPS0 (Diluted Earnings) = 1.85
· g0-1yr = 0.0595
· gPEG = 0.129133
· EPS1 = ( 1 + g0-1yr )* EPS0 = (1 + 0.0595 ) * 1.85 = 1.9601
· Div1 = EPS1 * Payout Ratio = 1.9601 * 0.5946 = 1.1655
· Therefore: (P0) = Div1 / ( kDDM – gPEG ), 43.81 = 1.1655 /
9. (kDDM – 0.129133 )
· Solving for the missing ‘k’: kDDM equals 0.155738
· Note that we’re using the 1 year growth estimate of earnings
to get EPS1, but we use the 5 year growth estimate (a longer
term one, albeit not perfect) for ‘g’ into the future.
4. PVGO #1 (8 points): Calculate the Present Value of Growth
Opportunities (PVGO) for your company using two different
ROE values
· Use the ‘k’ from the DDM calculation above (which we’ll call
‘kDDM’) and the 5 year growth estimate you calculated from
the PEG ratio (gPEG).
· Next calculate PVGO using the Return on Equity from the
Yahoo Statistics provided for your company (ROEttm). You
may find that the trailing twelve month (ttm) ROE will produce
an estimate for the firm’s Growth that does not make much
sense (too high or too low).
· Input values for PVGO
· kDDM = 0.155738
· gPEG = 0.129133
· ROEi ttm = 103.03% or 1.0303.
· This is a good example of an ROE that won’t work well in a
simple formula. It is unrealistic to assume an ROE like this
would continue into perpetuity.
· RE1 = EPS1 – Div1 = 0.79464
· PVGOROEi = $167.726
· THEN calculate PVGO using the average ROEttm for the
Industry (example: Health Care Services) – again using kDDM
and gPEG where appropriate.
· ROEIndAvg ttm = 0.1991
· PVGOROEIndAvg = $8.318
10. 5. PVGO #2 (6 points with extra credit opportunity for 10
points): What is the PVGO for your company using the simple
formula from the practice that merely subtracts the “non-
growth” value of the firm from the current stock price?
· Stock price (P0) = EPS1 / kDDM + PVGO; therefore PVGO =
P0 – EPS1/kDDM
· P0 = 43.81
· EPS1 = 1.9601
· kDDM = 0.129133
· PVGO = $31.224
· Extra credit calculation (10 points): What is the ROE that
would make the PVGO equal to the number you calculated
above, as in PVGO #2 in 5.a? You may arrive at this value
formulaically or using Excel, but provide at least 4 digits of
precision for a correct answer.
· ROESolved = 0.31853
· Set PVGO to 31.221 (in this example for Landauer only) and
solve for ROE
6. CALL SPREAD (10 points): How would you buy a bullish,
vertical call spread on your stock using call options that expire
in January 2017?
· For full credit,
· you need to provide the premiums paid/received,
· the net price for the spread contract (not just per share
pricing),
· which legs are long/short (bought/sold),
11. · the tickers used to put on the spread,
· the maximum payoff (for the contract),
· and the maximum profit (for the contract) you could receive
ignoring commissions.
· Buy your call spread as close to “at the money” as possible
with a $5.00 “spread.”
· Use current options chains from Yahoo Finance and paste in
the tickers of the exact contracts you would buy and/or sell.
· Post the prices you would be buying and selling each leg of
the options spread.
· NOTE, if January options are not available, move to March or
April.
· If you don’t have much or any options chain data for even
those months, let me know. I will suggest a solution for this
part.
· This should not be an issue for many of you, but it happens
that LDR is only a $520million stock, and the options are not
actively traded.
· With LDR options being in short supply, I will shift to Quest
Diagnostics (DGX) for my example.
· From the lecture on options, if you are going LONG a vertical
call (bullish or money) spread, you are making a directional bet
the stock will rise, so you need to buy a call.
· DGX is currently trading ~$80.44 (again, I changed tickers
because LDR is not very active in options)
· The closest “at the money” January 2017 option is an $80
strike (exercise price) with current price (premium) of $2.90
(Last Price).
· Because I am now and most of you will likely get your data
after hours, use the Last Price.
· Normally, you would buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid, but
these prices are not representative of the true market after
hours. The Last trade is fine for our needs.
· Buying this option costs you $2.90 (negative cash flow) per
share. Options contracts represent 100 shares per contract.
12. You cash flow is -$290.00 (ignoring commissions) for the
contract.
· You then would sell the $85 January call (going SHORT) and
realize a premium of $1.00, positive cash flow of $1.00/share or
+$100 on the options contract.
· The call spread would thus be
· LONG 1 bullish call spread costing -$190.00
· SELL 1 DGX $85 Jan 2017 CALL –
· Ticker: DGX170120C00085000
· +$1.00/share or +$100.00
· BUY 1 DGX $80 Jan 2017 CALL
· Ticker: DGX170120C00080000
· -$2.90/share or -$290.00
· Maximum payoff is the difference between the strike you sold
and the one you bought. The maximum profit is this number
minus the cost of buying the spread.
· Max payoff: $85 – 80 = $5 * 100 shares per options contract;
$500.00
· This is a DEBIT spread costing you $100 - $290 = -$190.00.
A credit spread would be one where you realize positive cash
flow
· Max profit: $500 – 190 = $310.00

U.S. Presidents Foreign Policy toward the Middle East
In this research paper, you must choose 3 U.S. presidents who
have had a substantial impact on U.S. Foreign Policy toward the
14. Middle East, and write a 6–8-page research paper providing a
concise but detailed enough analysis of the impact of each on
U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East. The Research Paper
is due by 1:00 p.m. (ET) Wednesday, November 30, 2016.
AVOID COPYING AND PASTING FROM SOURCES/CHECK
YOUR PAPER FOR PLAGIARISM IN TURNIT IN!
YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING
PRESIDENTS:
1. THOMAS JEFFERSON
2. JOHN ADAMS
3. GEORGE BUSH Jr., and
4. BARAK OBAMA
Consider the following guidelines:
· In effect, your choice of presidents may include negative
examples of presidential leadership deemed to have failed.
· Stay focused on a balanced assessment that includes both
positive and critical elements, but does not exaggerate the
obvious as a unique achievement
· Distinguish the unique influence of your subject with what
could reasonably be predicted as understandable policy
behavior.
· Even so, offer some critical assessment of what is otherwise
claimed as unique.
· In summary, distinguish the act of describing a particular
policy of President X from the process of critically
analyzing why you believe his behavior actually had an
important influence on the Middle East. Go beyond description
to analysis.
· Does the current Middle East (or its history before or after
WWII) look like US presidents deserve a standing ovation?
· DO NOT exaggerate your case--there are always pluses and
minuses with all cases of presidential leadership.
· As much as possible, try to eliminate the need for using
quotes.
AGAIN, DO NOT DISCUS ANY OF THE PRESIDENTS
LISTED BELOW.
15. 1. THOMAS JEFFERSON
2. JOHN ADAMS
3. GEORGE BUSH Jr., and
4. BARAK OBAMA
Investments -- Equity Analysis Project
This project involves the analysis and recommendation of one
stock that has been assigned to you.
Your company to analyze will be distributed to you via Canvas
message or in class.

Your final report should be greater than 1000 words, but this
would indicate a relatively minimal effort. More
comprehensive projects go much further than that. Supporting
charts or graphics – if included – are not part of the minimum
and are highly recommended.
You will find that if you do all that’s outlined below, this
minimum won’t be an issue. Extra credit is available for
exceptional work. Great length does not necessarily equal
“exceptional.” However, barely meeting or exceeding the
minimum is usually just “satisfactory” work.
Your submission via Canvas:
· Submit two documents via the Canvas link:
· MS-Word document via the Canvas link provided
· Also submit your Excel sheet used to do the calculations
16. section.
· Double-spaced text is not required, in fact 1.15 or 1.5 spacing
is preferred.
· Embed graphs or charts within the text as you like, preferably
near your discussion of the graphic in the text.
· Cite all sources used at the end. (Use an appropriate format of
your choosing – AP, MLA, etc.)
· Add an appendix of data used. (Paste the data in as a
JPG/picture, please.)
· If you are referring to many ratios or data points you collect
or calculate from one or many sources (other than the #3
Calculations, below), please put these in a table near the part of
the paper you are discussing them. That is, make things easier
for me to read and follow.
Address these topics keeping in mind the percentage of each
section toward your grade. Use headers for each topic and sub-
topic as appropriate to improve readability:
1. SECTOR, INDUSTRY and BUSINESS UNITS (30 points)
a. Recommendation
b. Trends, prospects and key ratios
2. ANALYSIS (50 points)
a. QUALITATIVE FACTORS
b. QUANTITATIVE FACTORS
3. RECOMMENDATION & SUMMARY (20 points)
4. REFERENCES (required – use an appropriate format and cite
everything)
5. CALCULATIONS (50 points – add an Appendix of data and
tables used for your calculations)

17. 1. SECTOR, INDUSTRY and BUSINESS UNITS
· SECTOR and INDUSTRY:
· Make a recommendation as to whether you think the Industry
should be “Over-”, “Market-”, or “Underweighted” by
prospective investors, and justify it.
· Note that your recommendation for the Industry and your
recommendation the company may not agree with each other
· You could “Overweight” an industry but might think the stock
is a “Hold” within that industry, or vice versa.
· This recommendation and all timeframes for the project should
be looking about 1+ year(s) into the future.
· Discuss trends for the overall SECTOR of your company –
revenue, margin and earnings. Discuss the balance sheet and
valuation ratios of interest for this sector.
· Describe and discuss the INDUSTRY of your company –
revenues, margin, growth, ratios, etc.
· What are the prospects for this industry (and/or sub-
industries) in the future, and why do you think so?
· What are the key industry ratios and statistics one needs to
consider when analyzing the industry?
· You may rely heavily on the research and forecasts of others
for this and parts to follow. You’re not expected to be an
expert at this stage, but the analysis and word chosen must be
your own.
· You should at least refer to the S&P Capital IQ /
NetAdvantage report for your company’s Industry as a source.
·

riesPage
· IMPORTANT: Make sure you get the latest report for your
Industry. S&P will regroup categories or industries at times,
and they may keep old categories in the list to provide history.
· BUSINESS UNITS:
18. · Describe the distinct Business Units of your company. This
section may also include channels of distribution and/or how the
business varies by geographic distribution. Some companies are
organized by products, customers, geography, etc.
1. Many of these firms are large conglomerates, so they may be
known for one major product, but they often have many smaller
lines of business that are very significant.
· These businesses could be growing or declining, and it may be
worth discussing them.
· Try to include the relative size of the business units ($ and/or
% of sales).
· NOTE: Your company may not have very distinct and
separate “business units,” but there usually is at least some
organization or at least distinction of the business by products,
customers, geography, etc.
· Apple (AAPL) has iPhone, iPad, Mac, iTunes, etc – all multi-
billion dollar businesses – all with different cash flows and
growth opportunities.
· Boston Beer Co. (SAM) is in the Consumer Staples sector, the
Alcohol Beverages & Tobacco industry, the Brewers sub-
industry, and its business varies little if at all outside
“Brewers.”
· If your company is more like SAM than AAPL, dedicate more
time and space to the analysis of the “sector” or “industry”
section (above).
· You might also delve into the varying aspects of a company’s
business, e.g. channels of distribution.
· Starbucks (SBUX), part of the Consumer Discretionary sector
and the Restaurants industry, is known for coffee sold in its
stores, but over 20% of its business is now derived from other
retail partners.
· In its stores, 20% of sales are now food-related – an area
identified as a growth opportunity years ago.
2. ANALYSIS: Analyze your company based on how the S&P
19. industry report recommends. See the section on “How to
analyze a company in the _________ industry.”
· Be sure to use the S&P industry and company reports as part
of your source material (cite all sources used)
· At a minimum in this section, you should have bolded sections
where you cover:
· QUALITATIVE FACTORS
· QUANTITATIVE FACTORS
· These should include industry and competitive comparisons
· When searching for a company report, make sure “Resources”
under “Companies” is set to “Stock Reports” AND you are
searching by “Ticker” if that’s what you want to use. (This
S&P website has some design issues, as you’ll find out.)
· Portions of the Standard & Poor’s Net Advantage Stock Report
might only be accessible while you are on the UNF network.
· As with the Mutual Fund Project, I’m less interested in your
ability to report on random data points
· … I want you to tell me what they mean.
· This section of your report is your main chance to impress.

3. RECOMMENDATION & SUMMARY: Summarize and
support the recommendation you’ve made for your stock as one
of the following
· Clearly state your recommendation as a STRONG BUY, BUY,
HOLD, SELL, or STRONG SELL, and justify it.
· Do not suggest your recommendation is based on the fact that
the majority of analysts are currently making the same
recommendation.
· All conclusions should be supported by your detailed analysis
of the ratios or additional topics you discussed.
20. 4. CALCULATIONS for your company
· These will be sent separately. You’ll be asked to do a variety
of company specific calculations based on data downloaded
from Yahoo.
· Note, that these calculations do not have to factor into your
analysis of the company. In fact, you should use any values you
calculate very carefully if at all in making your
recommendation(s).
· For example, you may be asked to do a valuation of your
company based on a dividend or similar discount model, and the
valuation you calculate may vary significantly from the
company’s current selling price. This does not mean you should
make your recommendation on this.
· A very important part of this project is to apply real-world
data with the finance calculations we teach. These formulas are
highly sensitive to the input values used, so you may find your
input values – while technically valid and usable – may not be
appropriate measures into perpetuity, thus any valuation made
on this would be suspect. More on this later in the course.
Remember to organize your paper with headings for each topic
1. SECTOR, INDUSTRY and BUSINESS UNITS (30 points)
a. Recommendation
b. Trends, prospects and key ratios
2. ANALYSIS (50 points)
a. QUALITATIVE FACTORS
b. QUANTITATIVE FACTORS
3. RECOMMENDATION & SUMMARY (20 points)
4. REFERENCES (required – use an appropriate format and cite
everything)
5. CALCULATIONS (50 points – add an Appendix of data and
tables used for your calculations)
This is to guide your discussion and make it easier for me to
read and grade. Points off for not doing so. This will also help
21. you post information to the Socrative link after your submission
is due. Also don’t forget to post to Socrative link, as well.
Note that you may include as much additional analysis as you
see fit. There is a wealth of information available in S&P
NetAdvantage to guide you and support your research.
Additional sources may be used
Sample research reports are provided in the Projects folder in
Assignments. The examples are from the UNF Library
resources, but you are encouraged to gather additional
information.
