The document discusses three potential financial options for a business to consider: purchasing a $10 million LEED-certified building, leasing $25 million in more environmentally friendly equipment, and investing $30 million in bonds from a Chinese company with a history of child labor violations. It provides background rationale and assumptions to analyze for each option, such as cash flows, useful life, and environmental impact. The options will be evaluated using net present value calculations and financial ratios to determine which options add the most value to the business.

1. Literacy and Capital
In 2007, researcher Guofang Li took a very close look at how
immigrant families attempt
helped their children adjust to life in Canada. In particular she
looked at the home
environments of four Chinese families.
As her guiding theory, Li used James Coleman's concepts of
different forms of capital.
"Coleman maintains that the family as a dynamic entity actively
transforms various
forms of capital from the parent generation into educational
attainment in the children" (
Li 286).
Li uses Coleman's theory as a way to understand the lives of
immigrant families in
Canada. The theory is also a helpful for us to use as a lens for
our own experience.
Coleman's Theory of Capital and Personal Experience
Prompt:
Explain Coleman's Theory of family capital. Provide at least
one quote to help you
restate the three components of Coleman's theory of family
capital.
Examine your own personal experience using Coleman's theory
as a way of

2. understanding it. Analyze literacy events, practices or
environments from your life.
Provide at least two specific examples from your life. Make
sure to connect your
examples directly to Coleman's theory.
● You can use your upbringing, the upbringing of your children
or the upbringing
of others in your life. However, you mush write about your
first-hand
experience.
● Hint: You can use the narrative or descriptive mode of
discourse to describe
how you have personally experienced family capital
What does your analysis uncover? What do you learn about the
home environment,
family capital and/or educational attainment? What is your
conclusion about what is
most critical for the parent generation to do for their children?
What do you conclude?
Essay GuidelinesYour essay must:
Be 4-5 complete pages in length (excluding the Works Cited
page)
● Offer a clear thesis as last sentence or sentences of first
paragraph
● Start subsequent paragraphs with topic sentences
● Directly quote sufficient textual evidence from Li’s article—
at least once.

3. ● Yes, you can quote from a family member, but use the MLA
format for
personal interview/communication.
● Explain how these cited passages work as evidence for your
claims
● Create a Works Cited page according to MLA style guidelines
● Follow MLA style guidelines for Format
● Have no errors in punctuation, spelling, capitalization and

FIN 320 Project Two Financial Assumptions
Whenever a business needs to make an investment, the financial
options associated with that
investment must be carefully considered. This is true whether
the business seeks to purchase something
as simple as a new building or a piece of equipment, or
something as complex as acquiring a new
business. Business leaders need to be able to estimate cash
flows from an investment and use the net
present value (NPV) method to figure out if the investment is
worthwhile.
This document includes lists for three financial options and
their associated assumptions. For your
Project Two assignment, analyze all three financial options
provided, then select the option or options

6. that add the most value to the business you have selected based
on all the information you’ve gathered.
Your recommendation should include careful analysis of NPV
calculations, financial ratios, working
capital analysis, and supportive documents.
Remember to evaluate each financial option in the context of
the financial ratio analysis and working
capital analysis to help you decide which option(s) to
recommend to your chosen business in your
Project Two assignment.
Financial Option 1: Purchase a $10 Million Building
Rationale for investment: The business is considering
environmental, social, and corporate governance
(ESG) factors as part of its investment into a new building for
its headquarters. The building itself will be
a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-
certified building, but the new site being
considered currently houses a large, inactive gas station that
sold both gasoline and diesel fuel. The new
site also has a sizable repair facility left over that was used for
deliveries and tractor-trailer trucks for
more than 50 years. While some restoration was performed on
the site prior to the new building’s
construction, the previous owner ran out of funds before they
were ever able to bring the site up to
LEED standards. Four large fuel tanks remain on the site, and
they will also need to be addressed per
LEED standards.
Assumptions to consider:

7. million per year
20 year expected useful life of building
Financial Option 2: Lease of $25 Million in Equipment
Rationale for investment: The business’s current equipment is
efficient, but it uses a substantial amount
of electricity. Operating the production line also creates
significant waste material, including waste
plastics. The business is looking into leasing newer, more
environmentally friendly equipment that will
still allow it to be at least as efficient in production as it is now.
Assumptions to consider:
-year useful life
Financial Option 3: $30 Million Investment in Bonds

8. Rationale for investment: The business that’s offering these
bonds for sale contracts with another
business in China to assemble computer components. The
Chinese business is known to have used child
labor in the past, but claims it has stopped this practice.
However, the U.S. business selling these bonds
has not investigated to verify whether these claims are true or
not.
Assumptions to consider:
-year bond

Project Two Guidelines and Rubric
Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following competencies:

9. Analyze financial and investment decisions that add value to the
organiza�on
Analyze financing op�ons to maximize investor value
Scenario
You are a financial analyst for the chosen business that you
selected during your Module Two Journal assignment. Your
supervisor
has discovered last minute that your business’s board of
directors is looking for updates on the business’s financial
health. Your
supervisor has asked you to write a report regarding the
business’s current financial health and the available financial
op�ons for
improving the business. You’ve also been asked to make
recommenda�ons as to which op�ons the business should
choose to best
support its financial health. Your supervisor will then use your
report to present to the business’s board of directors, whose
members all have varying levels of knowledge in terms of
finance.
Direc�ons
Using the business you chose from the Project Two Business
Op�ons List, create a report for your supervisor to share with
the

10. board of directors during their presenta�on. Keep in mind that
your report needs to be easy for someone unfamiliar with
finance to
understand, as not all of the board members for your business
fully understand finance.
Using Mergent Online, locate the most recent quarterly
financial statements for your chosen company, and use these
statements to
support your analysis throughout the project. Refer to the
Project Two Financial Assump�ons document located in the
Suppor�ng
Materials sec�on for the assump�ons you need in order to
analyze the three available financial op�ons outlined in the
Financial
Analysis sec�on of the project direc�ons.
You are encouraged to use the Project Two Financial Analyst
Report template located in the What to Submit sec�on to help
complete this project.
Specifically, you must address the following:
1. Financial Analysis: In this sec�on of the report, you will use
the most recent quarterly financial statements for your chosen
business and the Project Two Financial Formulas spreadsheet
(located in the What to Submit sec�on) to calculate
appropriate financial formulas for assessing the business’s
financial health. You will also analyze all three available

11. financial
op�ons for improving the business based on your calcula�ons
and the provided Project Two Financial Assump�ons
document.
A. Financial Calcula�ons: Calculate accurate financial formulas
to assess the business’s current financial health.
Specifically, you must calculate the following:
Working capital
Current ra�o
Debt ra�o
Earnings per share
Price/earnings ra�o
Total asset turnover ra�o
Financial leverage
Net profit margin
