After MBA course, you have come to realize that most businesses in Ghana and Africa fail not because of capital adequacy issues but rather, human resources management issues. What significant expectations would you give to all HR managers as needed competences to be equipped with if you are the consultant general to businesses in Ghana?

A prospective MBA student earns $55,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 7% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $40,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $100,000 and that amount will increase by 10% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 13%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice? Please round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Lloyd is completing high school and wondering about his future. He needs to make a choice between pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business or pursuing an MBA. Lloyd lives in two periods, the first relating to his education and the second relating to employment commencing after graduation and extending through retirement. In the first period, he completes his education. In the second period, he works in the labor market. Lloyd determines to attend the University of Utah.

If Lloyd pursues a bachelor’s degree at the U of U, he will spend $52,000 on education in the first period and earn $2.4 million in the second period. If he pursues an MBA, he will spend $139,000 on education in the first period and earn $2.8 million in the second period. Lloyd seeks to maximize his lifetime earnings.

Suppose that Lloyd can lend and borrow money at a 7% rate of interest between the two periods. Which degree will Lloyd pursue? Explain using both mathematic calculation and verbal description.

Healthcare Associates operates 33 medical clinics in Iowa. As part of the company’s ongoing efforts to examine its customer service, Healthcare worked with an MBA class at the University of Iowa on a project in which a team of students observed patients at the clinics to estimate the difference in mean time spent per visit for male and female patients. Previous studies show that the standard deviation is 11 minutes for men and 16 minutes for women. The MBA students observe 100 male and 100 female patients and discover the mean time per visit for men is fifty minutes, and for women is fifty-five.

(a) Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference in population mean time per visit by gender.

(b) Test at 5% significance the hypothesis that mean visit time is exactly 50 minutes for women. Based on your conclusion, are you more likely to have made a type I or type II error? What is the probability of this error?

(c) What is the p-value for the test in part (b)?

A prospective MBA student earns $45,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 6% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $30,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $90,000 and that amount will increase by 16% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 9%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice? Please round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Pursuing an MBA is a major personal investment. Tuition and expenses associated with business school programs are​ costly, but the high costs come with hopes of career advancement and high salaries. A prospective MBA student would like to examine the factors that impact starting salary upon graduation and decides to develop a model that uses program​ per-year tuition as a predictor of starting salary. Data were collected for 37 ​full-time MBA programs offered at private universities. The data are stored in the accompanying table. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e) below.

a. Construct a scatter plot.

b. Assuming a linear​ relationship, use the​ least-squares method to determine the regression coefficients b₀ and b₁.

c. Interpret the meaning of the​ slope, b₁​, in this problem.

d. Predict the mean starting salary upon graduation for a program that has a​ per-year tuition cost of $47,424.

e. What insights can be obtained about the relationship between program​ per-year tuition and starting salary upon​ graduation?

Bobcat Company. Bobcat​ Company, U.S.-based manufacturer of industrial​ equipment, just purchased a Korean company that produces plastic nuts and bolts for heavy equipment. The purchase price was Won7,700million.​ Won1,000 million has already been​ paid, and the remaining Won6,700 million is due in six months. The current spot rate is Won 1,111​/$, and the​ 6-month forward rate is Won1,161​/$. The​ 6-month Korean won interest rate is 16​% per​ annum, the​ 6-month U.S. dollar rate is 3.5​% per annum. Bobcat can invest at these interest​ rates, or borrow at​ 2% per annum above those rates. A​ 6-month call option on won with a Won1,200​/$ strike rate has a 3.6​% ​premium, while the​ 6-month put option at the same strike rate has a 2.9​% premium. Bobcat can invest at the rates given​ above, or borrow at​ 2% per annum above those rates.​ Bobcat's weighted average cost of capital is 11.5​%.

Compare alternate ways below that Bobcat might deal with its foreign exchange exposure.  

a. How much in U.S. dollars will Bobcat pay in 6 months without a hedge if the expected spot rate in 6 months is assumed to be

Won1,111​/$?

Won1,161​/$?

b. How much in U.S. dollars will Bobcat pay in 6 months with a forward market​ hedge?

c. How much in U.S. dollars will Bobcat pay in 6 months with a money market​ hedge?

d. How much in U.S. dollars will Bobcat pay in 6 months with an option hedge if the expected spot rate in 6 months is assumed to be less than Won1,200​/$? To be Won1,300​/$?

e. What do you​ recommend? a) A money market Hedge b)unhedged position. c)forward market hedge. d)option market hedge
