Using the key concepts, you have learned in chapters 10 and 11, write a minimum of a 3 page paper on 1 of the following subjects from the perspective of the CFO:

1-You are starting a new company and are trying to come up with your optimal capital structure. Describe the nature of your business and why you believe your capital structure to be the best fit for your company. An example may be that you are attempting to open an on-line shoe company, or perhaps a neighborhood coffee shop.

2- You are CFO of any real company today and are thinking of rolling out a new project. Describe the rationale that goes into the project, resources used, and expected return on said project. An example might be Apple rolling out the new Apple Watch.

Your paper should mention key concepts from the last 2 weeks’ readings such as WACC, NPV, Capital Budgeting, IRR, etc. The idea is to see you take a stab at the numbers to see what it is like to be in the position of CFO and the thought process involved. Please complete paper in APA format and cite all resources.

You are a new manager to a company in the automotive industry. You are asked to review the monthly management reports that are presented to the owner each month. The previous manager, who had been employed for many years before retiring, usually just approved the reports and returned them immediately. The controller is getting anxious that you are taking so long to review them. You noticed, however, that the reports, which consist of a Horizontal Analysis, Vertical Analysis and Ratio Analysis, do not seem to add up. There is a discrepancy that is causing you to worry that the reports are being purposely modified and the controllers repeated phone calls make you think that he/she is covering something up. You are on good terms with the owner so far and are scheduled to have a meeting with him during your 2nd week at work. What steps do you think you should take? Would it be appropriate to mention your concerns during the meeting? Should you speak directly with the controller? Provide examples of how you might handle the situation at hand.

Read the Medi-Cult Case Study located in the Reading Assignment section. Medi-Cult, a biotech company based in Denmark, has developed a new alternative to In Vitro Fertilization called In Vitro Maturation (IVM). These methods are used to help infertile couples have children. IVM significantly reduces the time needed to mature an egg from 30 days to just two days. Importantly, it is a hormone-free treatment, thus sparing women several psychological and physical side effects.

Read the General Guidelines for Case Studies before beginning this assignment.

Once you have read the case study, assume that you are a sales consultant for these products. Prepare an analysis of the case study and address the following:

1. Mention the major markets for Medi-Cult products.

2. What are the striking benefits, as mentioned in the study for marketing these products to consumers?

3. Briefly describe the Medi-Cult marketing strategy model.

4. What other product-pricing strategies, if any, would you recommend for Medi-Cult to maximize profit in the short and long-term?

In the game of Lucky Sevens, the player rolls a pair of dice. If the dots add up to 7, the player wins $4; otherwise, the player loses $1.

Suppose that, to entice the gullible, a casino tells players that there are lots of ways to win: (1, 6), (2, 5), and so on. A little mathematical analysis reveals that there are not enough ways to win to make the game worthwhile; however, because many people’s eyes glaze over at the first mention of mathematics, your challenge is to write a program that demonstrates the futility of playing the game.

Your program should take as input the amount of money that the player wants to put into the pot, and using a random number generator play the game until the pot is empty. At that point, the program should print:

1. The number of rolls it took to break the player
2. The maximum amount of money in the pot.

An example of the program input and output is shown below:

How many dollars do you have? 50

You are broke after 220 rolls.
You should have quit after 6 rolls when you had $59.

Employees of Kingston General Hospital (KGH) are divided by the area of the hospital in which they work, and there is little 'cross-over' - the staff of the Intensive Care Unit tend to only socialize with their team, the staff of the Emergency Department don't really converse with any other department, etc. It has now gotten to the point that those nurses that work the night shift don't really have anything to do with those that typically work the day shift, and the nurse managers are noticing that this is starting to affect their patient reports at shift change. The lack of communication outside of work is now transferring to a lack of communication for work-related tasks and as a result, patient safety is at risk.

The issue is not only communication, but employees also do not seem motivated to improve upon the feedback given on their lack of communication. Suppose you are a unit manager and have been tasked with putting in place some strategies to help improve their communication and lack of motivation. List and clearly describe 3 strategies you might use as a manager in this situation. Please make sure to specifically mention the scenario in your strategies.

1. A car washing and lubricating company has been operating for more than 10 years in a terrain with the following characteristics: porous, filterable with a freatic level near to the surface (5 m depth). This area is close to the estuary which is very useful to them since all the disposals and waste generated by this activity are directly released into the estuary. These disposals contain a high level of oils and greases. All the dumping from the car maintenance goes directly into the soil since there are no palettes or gutters. The operation hours are 20 hours for seven days a week. On the complaint of the locals, the Municipal Council has arranged the execution of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and you are part of it. What type of environmental evaluation must be performed by the Municipality according to this case?

a) What type of environmental evaluation must be performed by the Municipality according to this case?

b) What type of proposed professionals that will be part of the consultancy group performing the EIA?

c) List three environmental effects of this activity.

d) Mention three mitigation measures you will propose as part of your Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to mitigate the impacts identified.

In the game of Lucky Sevens, the player rolls a pair of dice. If the dots add up to 7, the player wins $4; otherwise, the player loses $1.

Suppose that, to entice the gullible, a casino tells players that there are lots of ways to win: (1, 6), (2, 5), and so on. A little mathematical analysis reveals that there are not enough ways to win to make the game worthwhile; however, because many people’s eyes glaze over at the first mention of mathematics, your challenge is to write a program that demonstrates the futility of playing the game.

Your program should take as input the amount of money that the player wants to put into the pot, and play the game until the pot is empty. At that point, the program should print:

The Person Class

• Uses encapsulation

1. Attributes
   • private String name
   • private Address address

1. Constructors
   • one constructor with no input parameters
     • since it doesn't receive any input values, you need to use the default values below:
       • name - "John Doe"
       • address - use the default constructor of Address
   • one constructor with all (two) parameters
     • one input parameter for each attribute
2. Methods
   • public String toString()
     • returns this object as a String, i.e., make each attribute a String, concatenate all strings and return as one String.
     • toString() is a special method, you will learn more about it in the next lessons
       • it needs to be public
       • it needs to have @override notation (on the line above the method itself). Netbeans will suggest you do it.
   • Get and Set methods
     • public int getName()
     • public void setName(String name)
     • public Address getAddress()
     • public void setAddress(Address address)

The Player Class (with updates from the last lab)

• Player is a Person with some extra attributes

         • be careful with the parenthesis to avoid getting 0 as a result
         • the (double) is called casting, forcing the expression that comes afterwards to become a double.
           • it is necessary to avoid getting 0 as a result because of the precision loss in the division by integers
         • use 10.0 instead of 10 to force Java to use more precision in the calculation
