The Albatross and the GoatCase 3Spring, 2014 REVISED 328Hen.docxmattinsonjanel
The Albatross and the Goat
Case 3
Spring, 2014 REVISED 3/28
Henry has decided to buy the Goat Farm. Now he needs to figure out how to finance this business. He is asking for your help.
Fortunately you remember that your friend from CMU, you know, the one with the Led Zeppelin tattoo on their ____, somehow managed to get a job with the investment banking firm of Lehman Brothers. Oops, forget that one. Didn’t that real smart girl get a job with Merrill Lyn . . . Darn it. Maybe Morgan Stanley, nope. Who should we call?
Of course you call Rowe, Rowe, and Rowe (RRR). They were a small trading firm specializing in Treasury bills. Since Treasury bills were the only thing trading for awhile, they are doing real well and just bought out two of the big guys at about 2 cents on the dollar. But you already heard all that on Twitter. Anyway, RRR provided the following:
Alternative #1: All equity. Ks = 10%
Alternative #2: Borrow $300,000 at Kd = 5% and issue equity at Ks = 11%
Alternative #3: Borrow $600,000 at Kd = 6% and issue equity at Ks = 12%
Alternative #4: Borrow $900,000 at Kd = 8% and issue equity at Ks = 14%
They also recommended that the company shoot for a market value debt ratio under 40%, a times interest earned of at least 5, and a degree of combined leverage less than 8. But they probably recommend those numbers to everybody. And of course Henry is free to do what he wants, as long as he has enough money to buy the business.
Henry wants to maximize the value of this new venture in the event that he should decide to sell. However, he is cognizant of risk.
A) Based on what you know about this company and the fact that they plan to pay dividends equal to Actual Cash
Flow, do you feel it more appropriate to assume that the business ends after 20 years OR that it is sold as a
perpetuity based on year 20 cash flows? Explain why.
B) Use data from earlier cases, as needed. Ignore the growth rate. Create a functional spreadsheet to do the following:
1) For each alternative, re-calculate Net Income adjusting for the interest expense, if any.
2) Calculate a fair market value for equity (S) based on Ks and the ACTUAL Cash Flows = (NPAT + Externality + Depr.). In year 20 treat the project cash flows as becoming a perpetuity.
3)
Calculate the following for each alternative:
a) Company value (V) at time zero = MV Equity (S) + Debt (D)
b) D/V at time zero
c) TIE for year 1
d) Probability of loss in year 1. Use Standard Deviation of Net Income = $200,000.
e) DCL for year 1. Use the same fixed vs. variable designation of cost as in earlier cases.
f) WACC at time zero calculated as WACC = (D/V * Kd * (1-t)) + ((1- D/V) * Ks)
4)
Which, if any, of these capital structures do you recommend? Explain why.
BONUS: 10 points to solve for the Revenue level ($ or Quantity) that gives the same market value of the firm for capital structures #2 and #3? Hint: This is pretty easy if you set up a spreadsheet. (In Excel go to “Data / What-If-Analysis / G ...
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

Phone calls for the wrong number seem to come at very bad times.
2
For example, a few weeks
ago I was enjoying a snack and a movie when suddenly the phone rang. 3
As I was running to the phone,
I tripped over the dog and found myself on the floor. 4
When I got to the phone and picked it up, a
strange voice asked for Julie.
5
Ialso get wrong numbers when I’m in the bathtub. 6
For example, last weekend I was enjoying a
nice hot bath when, of course, the phone rang. 7
At first, I didn’t move, but then I worried that it might
be an important call 8
I grabbed a towel and rushed to the phone, just to hear a voice ask, “Is this Fran`s
Homestyle Restaurant?”
9
Sometimes I get a wrong number when I’m cooking. 10
Last night the phone rang while I was
preparing dinner and the person calling couldn’t believe that he got the wrong number. 11
He started
arguing with me about names. 12
I hung up furiously and rushed back to my burned dinner.13
. Well, I`ve
had enough so from now on I will let my answering machine pick up phone calls.

I wish I could quit this job tomorrow.
5. A combination of several types of conclusions
There is no doubt that I really do not like my job, so it’s time for me to look for another one.
Write conclusion for the following composition.
Honesty is Best
“Honesty is the best policy.” This famous saying from Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote
means that we have to be honest in all situations. I agree, especially because of what
happened to my grandfather about three years ago. He got sick, and his doctor secretly
told us my grandfather had cancer. His doctor puts him in a hospital, but he did not tell
my grandfather the truth right away. During the first three months in the hospital, was
more and more tired, and the cancer just kept getting worse. Then the doctor told him
the truth – that he had cancer and would live for only a few months. I thought my
grandfather would not able to accept the truth, but a strange thing happened. He began
enjoying his life. He was even able to leave the hospital sometimes to do whatever he
really wanted to do. To my surprise, my grandfather lived for another year.
