The IT Manager’s Dilemma

Sally Lewis graduated from college 4 years ago with a degree in computer science. She currently runs the business application support department for a mid-sized company in Austin. Sally currently earns $73,000 per year and expects an annual raise of 3% per year. Her company does not pay bonuses. Sally is 27 and intends on working for an additional 38 years (until she is 65). She has a fully paid insurance benefit and is currently in the 26% tax bracket. Although Sally enjoys her job she is concerned that her degree and current experience is to narrow and as a result might limit her potential career opportunities and earning potential. Sally is considering two options to further her career.

Option 1 is to do a two-year MBA at Brazonian University. The degree would round out her technical skills with a sound business background. The MBA would require two years of full-time study (where Sally would be unable to work) with an annual tuition amount of $58,000 payable each year. Books and other supplies would be $2,000 per year. After finishing the MBA sally thinks she would be able to get an immediate position and make $105,000 per year and also receive a $10,000 signing bonus. The salary would be expected to grow by 4% per year. She then would be in the 31% tax bracket.

Option 2 is to do a specialize one year program at Olympus University in Data Analytics. The program would be an intense 1-year program (she would be unable to work) and offer her employment opportunities starting at $98,000 growing at 5% per year while also receiving an $8,000 initial signing bonus. The compensation would put her in the 29% tax bracket. The cost for the 12-month program is $75,000 plus an additional $4,200 in fees.

Both programs offer insurance coverage for $3,000 per year. Housing on campus at both programs would be $4,000 less than what Sally is currently paying so would be a net savings. Sally has been a diligent saver in her career and as a result has the money in savings for either of these options and would pay cash and incur no financing fees.

Sally likes her current position but also is intrigued with both options. She see’s herself being happy in either of these options or even with the status quo. What she would like to do is make the decision and pursue the path that provides the best financial upside to her. Sally wants to use a 5.5% discount rate for her analysis.

So consider:

  • What other factors (financial or otherwise) should Sally consider when making this decision?

  • What risks are there for Sally to pursue either option?

  • On a purely economic perspective what is the best decision for Sally to make?

  • How does Sally’s age play into making this decision?   Does the decision change if Sally wants to retire in 20 years?

  • What initial salaries (one each for the MBA and one for the Data Analytics program) would Sally need to be offered to make her indifferent about leaving her current situation (at what salary points are the future values equal?)

  • Assume Sally wanted to borrow the money to attend either option the interest rate was 5.4%, how would this change Sally’s decision?

(b) Use the confidence interval method of hypothesis testing to test the hypothesis that population mean percentage increase in company revenue is different from that of CEO salary. Use a 5% level of significance.

Since μd = 0 from the null hypothesis is in the 95% confidence interval, reject H0 at the 5% level of significance. The data do not indicate a difference in population mean percentage increases between company revenue and CEO salaries.Since μd = 0 from the null hypothesis is not in the 95% confidence interval, do not reject H0 at the 5% level of significance.

After finishing university, Mariette is looking for a job. She checks for job advertisements on several large, well‐known, and reputable online sources, and pursues a few lesser‐known sources on the recommendation of several of her former professors. After submitting what seemed like endless resumes, Mariette received several interview offers, one of which was particularly appealing to her, since it was for an entry‐level position in a company she had always wanted to work for. The interview process went well, and she received several job offers, including one from the company she wanted to work for. During that interview, Mariette was promised that the job would involve a lot of independent work and responsibility for projects after an initial training period of three months. This statement, combined with the fact that she had wanted to work for the company for a long time, led Mariette to accept the job offer. Once she had signed the employment contract and had begun work, she went through the initial training period, but her responsibilities didn’t change, and she began to find her work limiting. She also began to notice that some of the employees at her level who had started around the same time she had started were being promoted ahead of her. Several were not as qualified as Mariette. She noticed that all of the employees receiving promotions were men. While this was occurring, the office support staff, all of whom were unionized, were trying to renegotiate their contract. The bargaining went badly, and there was a short strike lasting three days. The situation was resolved, but things were tense for a little while, especially since the support staff had been picketing directly outside of the entrance to the office. By this time, Mariette had worked for her company for a little over two years. One day, she was called into her supervisor’s office and was told she was being let go. She was also told that this was effective as of the end of the work day on that day. No cause was given. Mariette was very surprised, and angry. After discovering that she would get no further pay after the day of her termination, Mariette decided to take legal action.

Analyze the situation and advise Mariette on how she should proceed?
