Ross discussionI attended Southern New Hampshire University (SN.docxhealdkathaleen
Ross discussion:
I attended Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) for my undergraduate program. My program was a bachelor’s in liberal arts: General Studies. The program outcomes are located at https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/ba-in-general-studies.
A general studies degree allowed me to bring over credits that I had earned earlier in life, while allowing me to focus on my area of concentration. The program outcomes included learning how to apply critical thinking into the areas of study that were of interest. It provided a broad base of courses that I was able to customize to my needs ("General Degree," 2019).
Southern New Hampshire University’s mission, vision and goals are as follows “SNHU transforms the lives of learners. Our success is defined by our learners’ success. By relentlessly challenging the status quo and providing the best support in higher education, SNHU expands access to education by creating high-quality, affordable, and innovative pathways to meet the unique needs of each and every learner” ("About Us," 2019, para. 2). The SNHU vision states, “Make the world a better and more just place through our work, one learner at a time” ("SNHU Strategic Plan," n.d., p. 9, para.2). Core values are key to the university, exude passion, challenge the status quo, do the right thing every time, exhibit grit and embrace diversity.
The mission and vision and core values can be found at: https://snhu-externalaffairs.app.box.com/s/7k526w442reszti50fdtceyrre2f1il8.
In my experience the university met not only the program outcomes, but it also met it’s mission, vision and core values in my undergraduate program. I was supported by the university, challenged and was offered educational opportunities that were greater than the status quo found at other institutions. The staff and instructors were passionate about the material being taught and always treated me with the utmost respect and when I had concerns or issues with grading or materials they always sought to offer me options that were right for me and my learning disabilities.
Program assessment begins with a clear explanation of the mission, vision, gals and desired learning outcomes of the program. Statements should include what the graduates of the program should know, do and value by the time they complete their studies. The assessment of learning outcomes will help to identify if the program is accomplishing what has benn set to provide and allow for continuous improvement of the program (Banta & Palomba, 2015).
Mark Discussion:
I attended Granite State College for my undergraduate degree in Human Resources Management. The program has since changed the title to Human Resource Administration. As can be seen in many individual program’s outcomes, there is a general failure to tie back to the overall organization’s mission, vision and goals.
Granite State College’s mission and vision can be found at https://www.granite.edu/about/mission/ . From there follow the li ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The study of finance focuses on making decisions that enhance
the value of the firm.
This is done by providing customers with the best products and
services in a cost-
effective way. In a sense we, the authors of Foundations of
Finance, share the same
purpose. We have tried to create a product that provides value
to our customers—
both students and instructors who use the text. It was this
priority that led us to write
Foundations of Finance: The Logic and Practice of Financial
Management, which was the
first “shortened book” of financial management when it was
first published. This
text launched a trend that has since been followed by all the
major competing texts
in this market. The text broke new ground not only by reducing
31. the breadth of mate-
rials covered but also by employing a more intuitive approach
to presenting new
material. From that first edition, the text has met with success
beyond our expecta-
tions for eight editions. For that success, we are eternally
grateful to the multitude of
finance instructors who have chosen to use the text in their
classrooms.
New to the Ninth Edition
Technology is ever present in our lives today, and we are
beginning to see its effec-
tive use in education. One form of learning technology that we
believe has great
merit today is the lecture video. For all the numbered in-text
examples in the Ninth
Edition, we have recorded brief (10- to 15-minute) lecture
videos that students can
replay as many times as they need to help them understand more
fully each of the
in-text examples. We are confident that many students will
enjoy having the authors
“tutoring” them when it comes to the primary examples in the
text. The videos can
be found in the eText within MyFinanceLab.
In addition to the innovations of this edition, we have made
some chapter-by-
chapter updates in response to the continued development of
financial thought,
reviewer comments, and the recent economic crisis. Some of
these changes include:

Pedagogy That Works
In our opinion, the success of this textbook derives from our
focus on maintaining
pedagogy that works. We endeavor to provide students with a
conceptual understand-
ing of the financial decision-making
process that includes a survey of the
tools and techniques of finance. For
the student, it is all too easy to lose
sight of the logic that drives finance
and to focus instead on memoriz-
ing formulas and procedures. As
a result, students have a difficult
time understanding the interrela-
tionships among the topics covered.
Moreover, later in life, when the
problems encountered do not match
the textbook presentation, students
may find themselves unprepared
to abstract from what they have
learned. We have worked to be “good at the basics.” To achieve
this goal, we have
refined the book over the last eight editions to include the
38. following features.
Building on Foundational Finance Principles
Chapter 1 presents five foundational principles of finance which
are the threads that
bind all the topics of the book. Then throughout the text, we
provide reminders of
the foundational principles in “Remember Your Principles”
boxes.
The five principles of finance allow us to provide an
introduction to financial
decision making rooted in current financial theory and in the
current state of world
economic conditions. What results is an introductory treatment
of a discipline rather
than the treatment of a series of isolated financial problems that
managers encounter.
Use of an Integrated Learning System
The text is organized around the learning objectives that appear
at the beginning of
each chapter to provide the instructor and student with an easy-
to-use integrated
learning system. Numbered icons identifying each objective
appear next to the
related material throughout the text and in the summary,
allowing easy location of
material related to each objective.
A Focus on Valuation
Although many professors and instructors make valuation the
central theme of their
course, students often lose sight of this focus when reading
their text. We reinforce
this focus in the content and organization of our text in some
39. very concrete ways:
◆ We build our discussion around the five finance principles
that provide the foun-
dation for the valuation of any investment.
◆ We introduce new topics in the context of “what is the value
proposition?” and
“how is the value of the enterprise affected?”
Real-World Opening Vignettes
Each chapter begins with a story about a current, real-world
company faced with a
financial decision related to the chapter material that follows.
These vignettes have
value of the firm’s stock to evaluate financial decisions. Many
things affect stock
prices; to attempt to identify a reaction to a particular financial
decision would sim-
ply be impossible, but fortunately that is unnecessary. To
employ this goal, we need
not consider every stock price change to be a market
interpretation of the worth of
our decisions. Other factors, such as changes in the economy,
also affect stock prices.
What we do focus on is the effect that our decision should have
on the stock price if
everything else were held constant. The market price of the
firm’s stock reflects the
value of the firm as seen by its owners and takes into account
the complexities and
complications of the real-world risk. As we follow this goal
throughout our discus-
sions, we must keep in mind one more question: Who exactly
are the shareholders?
40. The answer: Shareholders are the legal owners of the firm.

Five Principles That Form the Foundations
of Finance
To the first-time student of finance, the subject matter may
seem like a collection of
unrelated decision rules. This impression could not be further
from the truth. In fact,
our decision rules, and the logic that underlies them, spring
from five simple princi-
ples that do not require knowledge of finance to understand.
These five principles
guide the financial manager in the creation of value for the
firm’s owners (the stock-
holders).
As you will see, although it is not necessary to understand
finance to understand
these principles, it is necessary to understand these principles in
order to understand
finance. These principles may at first appear simple or even
trivial, but they provide
the driving force behind all that follows, weaving together the
concepts and tech-
niques presented in this text, and thereby allowing us to focus
on the logic underly-
ing the practice of financial management. Now let’s introduce
the five principles.
Principle 1: Cash Flow Is What Matters
You probably recall from your accounting classes that a
company’s profits can differ
41. dramatically from its cash flows, which we will review in
Chapter 3. But for now
understand that cash flows, not profits, represent money that
can be spent.
Consequently, it is cash flow, not profits, that determines the
value of a business. For
this reason when we analyze the consequences of a managerial
decision, we focus on
the resulting cash flows, not profits.
In the movie industry, there is a big difference between
accounting profits and
cash flow. Many a movie is crowned a success and brings in
plenty of cash flow for
the studio but doesn’t produce a profit. Even some of the most
successful box office
hits—Forrest Gump, Coming to America, Batman, My Big Fat
Greek Wedding, and the TV
series Babylon 5—realized no accounting profits at all after
accounting for various
movie studio costs. That’s because “Hollywood Accounting”
allows for overhead
costs not associated with the movie to be added on to the true
cost of the movie. In
fact, the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,
which grossed almost $1 bil-
lion worldwide, actually lost $167 million according to the
accountants. Was Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a successful movie? It
certainly was—in fact, it was
the 27th highest grossing film of all time. Without question, it
produced cash, but it
didn’t make any profits.

their importance, and the

been carefully prepared to stimulate student interest in the topic
to come and can be
used as a lecture tool to provoke class discussion.
A Step-by-Step Approach to Problem Solving
and Analysis
As anyone who has taught the core undergraduate finance
course knows, students
demonstrate a wide range of math comprehension and skill.
Students who do not
have the math skills needed to master the subject sometimes end
up memorizing for-
mulas rather than focusing on the analysis of business decisions
using math as a tool.
We address this problem in terms of both text content and
pedagogy.
◆ First, we present math only as a tool to help us analyze
problems, and only when
necessary. We do not present math for its own sake.
◆ Second, finance is an analytical subject and requires that
students be able to
solve problems. To help with this process, numbered chapter
examples appear
43. throughout the book. All of these examples follow a very
detailed and struc-
tured three-step approach to problem solving that helps students
develop their
problem-solving skills:
Step 1: Formulate a
Solution
Strategy. For example, what is the appropriate for-
mula to apply? How can a calculator or spreadsheet be used to
“crunch the
numbers”?
Step 2: Crunch the Numbers. Here we provide a completely
worked out step-by-
step solution. We present first a description of the solution in
prose and then a
corresponding mathematical implementation.
Step 3: Analyze Your Results. We end each solution with an
analysis of what the
solution means. This stresses the point that problem solving is
about analysis and
decision making. Moreover, in this step we emphasize that
decisions are often
based on incomplete information, which requires the exercise of
44. managerial
judgment, a fact of life that is often learned on the job.
“Can You Do It?” and
“Did You Get It?”
The text provides examples for the
students to work at the conclusion
of each major section of a chapter,
which we call “Can You Do It?,” fol-
lowed by “Did You Get It?” later in
the chapter. This tool provides an
essential ingredient in the building-
block approach to the material that
we use.
Concept Check
At the end of major chapter sections
we include a brief list of questions
that are designed to highlight key
ideas presented in the section.
CHAPTER 2 • The Financial Markets and Interest Rates 41
someone for 1 year at a nominal rate of interest of 11.3 percent.
This means you will
45. get back $111.30 in 1 year. But if during the year, the prices of
goods and services rise
by 5 percent, it will take $105 at year-end to purchase the same
goods and services
that $100 purchased at the beginning of the year. What was your
increase in purchas-
ing power over the year? The quick and dirty answer is found by
subtracting the
inflation rate from the nominal rate, 11.3% 2 5% 5 6.3%, but
this is not exactly cor-
rect. We can also express the relationship among the nominal
interest rate, the rate of
inflation (that is, the inflation premium), and the real rate of
interest as follows:
1 1 nominal interest rate 5 (1 1 real rate of interest)(1 1 rate of
inflation) (2-3)
Solving for the nominal rate of interest,
Nominal interest rate
5 real rate of interest 1 rate of inflation 1 (real rate of interest)
(rate of inflation)
Consequently, the nominal rate of interest is equal to the sum of
46. the real rate of
interest, the inflation rate, and the product of the real rate and
the inflation rate. This
relationship among nominal rates, real rates, and the rate of
inflation has come to be
called the Fisher effect. What does the product of the real rate
of interest and the infla-
tion rate represent? It represents the fact that the money you
earn on your investment
is worth less because of inflation. All this demonstrates that the
observed nominal
rate of interest includes both the real rate and an inflation
premium.
Substituting into equation (2-3) using a nominal rate of 11.3
percent and an infla-
tion rate of 5 percent, we can calculate the real rate of interest
as follows:
Nominal or quoted
rate of interest
5 real rate of interest 1 inflation
rate
47. 1 product of the real rate of
interest and the inflation rate
0.113 5 real rate of interest 1 0.05 1 0.05 3 real rate of interest
0.063 5 1.05 3 real rate of interest
0.063/1.05 5 real rate of interest
Solving for the real rate of interest:
Real rate of interest = 0.06 = 6%
Thus, at the new higher prices, your purchasing power will have
increased by only 6
percent, although you have $11.30 more than you had at the
start of the year. To see why,
let’s assume that at the outset of the year, one unit of the market
basket of goods and
services cost $1, so you could purchase 100 units with your
$100. At the end of the year,
you have $11.30 more, but each unit now costs $1.05 (remember
the 5 percent rate of
inflation). How many units can you buy at the end of the year?
The answer is
48. $111.30 4 $1.05 5 106, which represents a 6 percent increase in
real purchasing power.2
Inflation and Real Rates of Return: The Financial
Analyst’s Approach
Although the algebraic methodology presented in the previous
section is strictly cor-
rect, few practicing analysts or executives use it. Rather, they
employ some version of

CAN YOU DO IT?
Solving for the Real Rate of Interest
Your banker just called and offered you the chance to invest
your savings for 1 year at a quoted rate of 10 percent. You also
saw on
the news that the inflation rate is 6 percent. What is the real rate
of interest you would be earning if you made the investment?
(The
solution can be found on page 42.)

the following relationship (which comes from equation (2-2)),
an approximation
method, to estimate the real rate of interest over a selected past
time frame.
Nominal interest rate 2 inflation rate > real interest rate
The concept is straightforward, but its implementation requires
that several judg-
ments be made. For example, suppose we want to use this
relationship to determine
the real risk-free interest rate. Which interest rate series and
maturity period should
be used? Suppose we settle for using some U.S. Treasury
security as a surrogate for a
nominal risk-free interest rate. Then, should we use the yield on
3-month U.S.
Treasury bills or, perhaps, the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds?
There is no absolute
answer to the question.
So, we can have a real risk-free short-term interest rate, as well
50. as a real risk-free
long-term interest rate, and several variations in between. In
essence, it just depends
on what the analyst wants to accomplish. Of course we could
also calculate the real
rate of interest on some rating class of 30-year corporate bonds
(such as Aaa-rated
bonds) and have a risky real rate of interest as opposed to a real
risk-free interest rate.
Furthermore, the choice of a proper inflation index is equally
challenging. Again,
we have several choices. We could use the consumer price
index, the producer price
index for finished goods, or some price index out of the national
income accounts,
such as the gross domestic product chain price index. Again,
there is no precise scien-
tific answer as to which specific price index to use. Logic and
consistency do narrow
the boundaries of the ultimate choice.
Let’s tackle a very basic (simple) example. Suppose that an
analyst wants to esti-

that reflect the values of
a society as a whole.
You might ask yourself, “As long as I’m not breaking society’s
laws, why should I
care about ethics?” The answer to this question lies in
consequences. Everyone makes
errors of judgment in business, which is to be expected in an
uncertain world. But ethi-
cal errors are different. Even if they don’t result in anyone
going to jail, they tend to end
careers and thereby terminate future opportunities. Why?
Because unethical behavior
destroys trust, and businesses cannot function without a certain
degree of trust.

53. The Role of Finance in Business
Finance is the study of how people and businesses evaluate
investments and raise
capital to fund them. Our interpretation of an investment is
quite broad. When Apple
designed its Apple Watch, it was clearly making a long-term
investment. The firm
had to devote considerable expenses to designing, producing,
and marketing the

CHAPTER 2 • The Financial Markets and Interest Rates 53
Mini Case
This Mini Case is available in MyFinanceLab.
On the first day of your summer internship, you’ve been
assigned to work with the
chief financial officer (CFO) of SanBlas Jewels Inc. Not
knowing how well trained
you are, the CFO has decided to test your understanding of
interest rates. Specifi-
cally, she asks you to provide a reasonable estimate of the
nominal interest rate for
a new issue of Aaa-rated bonds to be offered by SanBlas Jewels
Inc. The final format
that the chief financial officer of SanBlas Jewels has requested
is that of equation (2-1)
in the text. Your assignment also requires that you consult the
58. data in Table 2-2.
Some agreed-upon procedures related to generating estimates
for key variables
in equation (2-1) follow.
a. The current 3-month Treasury bill rate is 2.96 percent, the
30-year Treasury
bond rate is 5.43 percent, the 30-year Aaa-rated corporate bond
rate is 6.71
percent, and the inflation rate is 2.33 percent.
b. The real risk-free rate of interest is the difference between
the calculated aver-
age yield on 3-month Treasury bills and the inflation rate.
c. The default-risk premium is estimated by the difference
between the average
yields on Aaa-rated bonds and 30-year Treasury bonds.
d. The maturity-risk premium is estimated by the difference
between the average
yields on 30-year Treasury bonds and 3-month Treasury bills.
e. SanBlas Jewels’ bonds will be traded on the New York Bond
59. Exchange, so the
liquidity-risk premium will be slight. It will be greater than
zero, however,
because the secondary market for the firm’s bonds is more
uncertain than that
of some other jewel sellers. It is estimated at 4 basis points. A
basis point is one
one-hundredth of 1 percent.
Now place your output into the format of equation (2-1) so that
the nominal interest
rate can be estimated and the size of each variable can also be
inspected for reason-
ableness and discussion with the CFO.
