Assignment 1: Discussion—Whistleblower Protections

A whistleblower is someone who reports illegal activities within an organization. Reporting wrongdoing can put employees at risk of creating a negative relationship with their employers, resulting in a hostile work environment or even termination.

However, whistleblowers are protected from retaliation by law. For federal employees, the Whistleblower Protection Act provides provisions to protect those reporting wrongdoing. Many other laws include whistleblower provisions, including laws governed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Although a federal law relating to whistleblowing is still lacking in the private industry, most states have also passed protections for whistleblowers to protect those reporting illegal activities.

In this assignment, you will study and report an example of a whistleblower case, discuss the facts surrounding the case, and analyze the outcome of the case on the basis of the law.

You have been asked to provide briefings to orient the next person sent abroad. Write a briefing that will:

2. Assist the executive from your chosen country in adjusting and communicating well with the female manager from India.

You may include areas as simple as basic etiquette in that culture to more sophisticated elements of business communication and business relationships.

Assignment 2: Required Assignment 2—Analyzing Risk

In this assignment, you will write an executive summary analyzing the exchange risks, country risks, and political risks the company executive team needs to be aware of in building a manufacturing facility in Brazil. Your summary will also provide a recommendation of the location, the company should select for building a new manufacturing facility. In support of your recommendation, you will refer to the analysis performed and include all calculations.

In addition, for this assignment, using the information in your executive summary, you will create a PowerPoint presentation which will include your recommendation of where to build the new facility, the supporting analysis for your recommendation, and the risks involved in building a new facility in Brazil.

Scenario:

Your employer, GBATT, headquartered in the United States of America, has decided to expand operations into Brazil. Although the decision to expand has been made, the CFO has asked for an analysis of the risks associated with the expansion. Your instructions are to analyze specific risks associated with building a manufacturing facility in Brazil. Include a description of each of the following types of risks and analyze their impact on the decision to build the new facility.

Exchange risksCountry risksPolitical risks For the expansion, GBATT is exploring which of two possible approaches to take for constructing a new manufacturing facility in Brazil. In addition to analyzing the risks associated with the expansion, you have been asked to provide analysis for selecting the best approach for the new facility. The following is the information the CFO provided to you to assist in your analysis. GBATT’s current capital structure is:

• 60% equity and 40% debt.
• Stockholders require 6% return on their investment.
• Bondholders require a 3% return.
• The corporate tax rate is 35%.

GBATT has narrowed the choice between two facilities in two different parts of the country. Preliminary analysis has been completed and an estimate of the future net cash flows for each choice has been provided. The original cash flows were provided in U.S. dollars. Dollars are in thousands.

After completing the risk analysis, use the information from the chart above to complete the following:

1. Calculate GBATT’s WACC.
2. Using the WACC and the above cash flows, calculate the NPV of each project.
3. Justify the importance of knowing a company’s WACC and NPV.
4. Recommend the facility to build based on the NPV.
5. Use current exchange rates to convert the NPV’s to the Brazil real.

Note: Exchange rates can be found at Yahoo Finance and other Internet sites.

Write a 4–5-page paper in Word format. In addition, create a 7–9-slide PowerPoint presentation. Utilize at least six scholarly sources in your research. Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

      “Variation and Statistical Thinking Strategy”  1-3 PARAGRAPHS

• Compare and contrast the fundamental differences between special-cause variation and common-cause variation. Provide one (1) business process example of each variation to support your response.  

Assignment Exercise 6–1: Allocating Indirect Costs

Study Table 6–1, Table 6–2, and review the chapter text describing how the indirect cost is allocated. This assignment will change the allocation bases input for (A) Number of Visits (Volume), (B) Proportion of Direct Costs, and (C) Number of Computers in Service.

Required 1. Compute the costs allocated to cost centers “Clerical Salaries,” “Administrative Salaries,” and “Computer Services” using the new allocation bases shown below. Use worksheet #1 that replicates the set up in Table 6–2. Total the new results. The new allocation bases are:

A = # Visits (Volume): PT = 9,600/OT = 4,000/ST = 2,400/Total = 16,000 (16,000 × $3.50 = $56,000)

B = Proportion of Direct Costs: PT = 60%/OT = 25%/ST = 15%/Total = 100% (% × $55,000)

C = # Computers in Service: PT = 10/OT = 3/ST = 3/Total = 16 (16 × $5,000 each = $80,000).

2. Using worksheet #2 that replicates the set up in Table 6–1, enter the new direct cost and the new totals for indirect costs resulting from your work. Total the new results.

Assignment Exercise 6–2: Responsibility Centers

Choose among the Case Study in Chapter 27, the clinic in Mini-Case Study 2, or the Metropolis Health System information as contained in its Case Study and the Appendix that contains its financial statements. Designate the responsibility centers and the support centers for the organization selected. Prepare a rationale for the structure you have designed.

Assignment Exercise 7–1: Analyzing Mixed Costs

The education coordinator decides that the community college packs may be unduly influencing the high–low computation. She decides to rerun the results, omitting the community college volume.

Required

1. Using the monthly utilization information presented here, and omitting the community college training packs, find the fixed and variable portion of costs through the high–low method. Note that the college only acquires packs in three months of the year: January, May, and September. These dates coincide with the start dates of their semesters and summer school.

2. The reason the education coordinator needs to know how much of the cost is fixed is because she is supposed to collect the appropriate variable cost from the community college for their packs. For her purposes, which computation do you believe is better? Why?

Month Total Number of Training Packs Total Cost Community College Number Packs Community College Cost January 1,000   $6,200   200 $1,240   February 200 1,820     March 250 2,350     April 400 3,440     May 700 4,900 300 2,100 June 300 2,730     July 150 1,470     August 100 1,010     September 1,100   7,150 300 1,950 October 300 2,850     November 250 2,300     December 100 1,010    

Assignment Exercise 7–2: Calculating the Contribution Margin

The Mental Health program for the Community Center has just completed its fiscal year end. The program director determines that his program has revenue for the year of $1,210,000. He believes his variable expense amounts to $205,000 and he knows his fixed expense amounts to $1,100,000.

MBA 665 Discussion question

Read Michigan Tax Incentives—Corporate Welfare? and A Primer on Certificated Credits Under the Michigan Business Tax.

Website of the first article is : http://www.forbes.com/sites/taxanalysts/2015/03/10…

You can find the second one in the attach

Then, in your initial post, consider the following questions:

• Is it the role of government to provide incentives to business? Why or why not?
• Do you agree with Michigan’s decision to extend tax credits in the manner it has? Why or why not?
• Is it ethical for a business to accept government incentives in all cases? Alternatively, is it the fiduciary responsibility of businesses to seek government aid in every instance? Explain and defend your responses.
• How might a business that accepts incentives effectively respond to criticism that it is accepting corporate welfare?

Do this like a Q&A. 1 page long is enough.

DQ #1: Multiple Testing / ANOVA / Effect Size

Although the initial post is due on Day 5, you are encouraged to start working on it early, as it is a three-part discussion that should be completed in sequential order.

Part One – Multiple Testing

Read Lecture Seven. The lectures from last week and Lecture Seven discuss issues around using a single test versus multiple uses of the same tests to answer questions about mean equality between groups. This suggests that we need to master—or at least understand—a number of statistical tests. Why can’t we just master a single statistical test—such as the t-test—and use it in situations calling for mean equality decisions? (This should be started on Day 1.) 

Part Two – ANOVA

Read Lecture Eight. Lecture Eight provides an ANOVA test showing that the mean salary for each job grade significantly differed. It then shows a technique to allow us to determine which pair or pairs of means actually differ. What other factors would you be interested in knowing if means differed by grade level? Why? Can you provide an ANOVA table showing these results? (Do not bother with which means differ.) How does this help answer our research question of equal pay for equal work? What kinds of results in your personal or professional lives could use the ANOVA test? Why? (This should be started on Day 3.)

Part Three – Effect Size

Read Lecture Nine. Lecture Nine introduces you to Effect size measure.  There are two reasons we reject a null hypothesis.  One is that the interaction of the variables causes significant differences to occur – our typical understanding of a rejected null hypothesis.  The other is having a large sample size – virtually any difference can be made to appear significant if the sample is large enough.  What is the Effect size measure?  How does it help us decide what caused us reject the null hypothesis?  (This should be completed by Day 5.)

DQ #2: Webliography

Post a question that you had related to the material this week. Conduct research to provide the answer to the question and provide the source.

My paper topic is about using instagram to sell products or services. I wrote the paper and the only missing part is the literature review section on the paper. I need 2 pages of  literature review. Use the links in the word doc below for the literature review.

Does Not Forbid

Collapse

Carl has gotten himself into a tight financial situation by relying on their home mortgage to be a holding ground for all his debt. After real estate prices dropped and refinancing his mortgage was not an option anymore, debt collectors started approaching him and demanded their money back. I would like to start off by saying that as a finance major, this is a very foolish way to deal with debt.

The Bible does not forbid bankruptcy from my interpretation. Per Deuteronomy 15:1-2, “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release…every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor” (ESV). There is a crossover between the Bible and U.S. law with this concept. According to U.S. law, debtors are only able to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy every eight years, while in the Bible Moses explains that these debts are to be forgiven every seven years. In Deuteronomy 15:12-14, Biblical law also lets those in debt to have a fresh start and does not force those people to forfeit all their belongings upon declaring bankruptcy. I believe that the Bible encouraged debt forgiveness since it was woven into their society and laws (Sutherland, 1988). This indirectly supports the idea of bankruptcy by establishing a fresh start every 7 years to those in debt.

When it comes to borrowing, the Bible established clear standards as to when it is acceptable. Proverbs 22:26-27 prohibits borrowing without a definite method of payment (ESV). Without a means of payment, the debtor would be foolishly hoping on the future. Proverbs also warns of borrowing without having a collateral that fully amounts to the total of the loan. These warnings are not only reasonable but also very important to put into practice, and by upholding this teaching this could lead to a solution to society’s indebtedness.

Collapse

Carl’s situation is not an abnormal one, it has happened to many people and will continue happening to others in the future. People have different ways of trying to settle their debts or resolve a debt situation depending on their means, knowledge, believes and ethics (Ramsey, 2009). For Carl, this situation is tricky because he is a Christian who follows the bible’s teachings in every decision he makes in life. The answer to the question of whether the bible forbids bankruptcy is not easy because the bible does not expressly address this issue in terms that can easily be interpreted. The truth of the matter is that the bible forbids Christians from making promises they cannot fulfill (Ecclesiastes, 5:5,). However, this is not to say that Carl took the debt knowing that he will not pay and thus it cannot be said from this perspective that it forbids him to file bankruptcy. But seen from the point of view expressed in Romans 13:7, it would be wrong for Carl to file bankruptcy because he would be violating what the bible talks about, ‘giving people what you owe them’ (Romans,17:7).

In terms of borrowing money, the bible does not forbid Christians in any way from borrowing money. However, in Proverbs 22 versus 7 and in Deuteronomy 28 versus 43-44, the bible discourages Christians from borrowing with the argument that it creates a servant-master relationship. In Psalms 37:21, the bible gives Christians a go ahead to borrow money but gives a caution that they must a sure repayment plan Conclusively, it is worth mentioning that the bible forbids filing for bankruptcy because it is more or less a way to avoid payment of debt completely. On the other hand, the bible does not forbid borrowing for as long as the borrower knows how to repay the debt.

Victoria Chemicals is considering upgrading its ageing plants in Merseyside and Rotterdam.  Assume that they can do only one right now.  You have to analyze all the given information for both plants and recommend one for updating.

The uploaded spreadsheet will help you with the quantitative analysis.  Before you do that, there are some issues you have to deal with (qualitatively) in your case report.

In Case 24, there are sections titled Concerns of the Transport Division, Sales and Marketing Dept., Assistant Plant Manager, and Treasury Staff. Without doing any calculations, you have to discuss how the company should deal with each of these issues.  You need to determine what is relevant (and what is not) in Capital Budgeting.  Remember that to make the decision, you will be calculating NPV for each project using the given spreadsheet in the attachment

On page 354 in Case 24, they list four decision rules used by the company.  Two of them are incorrect and should never be used in Capital Budgeting.  Identify them, and explain why they should not be used.

In Exhibit 1 on page 355, they give you some data about the competing plants in this industry.  What do the numbers tell us?

Exhibit 2 on page 356 should be used for the NPV calculations.  For simplicity, you can focus only on the NPV numbers, although IRR is calculated at the same time.  Some of the assumptions (and numbers) need to be corrected before you get the right NPV.  Remember that NPV should be calculated only with the relevant incremental (or marginal) after-tax cash flows.  If the cash flow is not relevant or marginal, it should not be used.  Also, only real cash flows should be used, and not accounting numbers.

In Case 25, the only ‘issue’ you have to deal with is the option on the right-of-way.  Think very carefully about this land purchase decision.  What should the company do?  Make the appropriate adjustments in the NPV calculations.

Exhibit 1 on pages 362-363 should be used for the NPV calculations.  The same rules used in Case 24 apply here.  Whatever assumptions you make should be used consistently for both cases.

The ‘Erosion’ numbers given here apply to the Sales Cannibalization effect mentioned in Case 24.  If you think it is plausible and relevant, use the same number in both cases to reduce the NPV. Or don’t.  You can always have alternate scenarios when calculating NPV for Capital Budgeting Projects.

Make a recommendation after you have done all the analysis.  What do you recommend the company should do in the long run? Justify your answer with appropriate arguments and data.  Are there any additional factors/issues that you think should be considered in the decision making process?

Upload the spreadsheet as a separate document along with your written case report.

The work should be 7 complete pages and must be your original work

In the end, I want you to  answer to the question in short no more than half page. in sparate page 

1.    Why are the Merseyside and Rotterdam projects mutually exclusive? Justify your answer with appropriate arguments and data.

make sure you can do perfectly with your origianl work.
