  1. Even though 44 percent of African Americans and Latinos own a smartphone while only 30 percent of White, non-Hispanics do, many people contend that this isn’t really closing the great digital divide because African Americans and Latinos use their smartphones more for entertainment than empowerment. Build an argument to support or refute the previous statement.

  1. When accessing the Internet, what can you do on a desktop or laptop computer that you can’t do on a smartphone? If smartphones have fewer Internet capabilities (than desktop and laptop computers), can you necessarily link an increase in smartphone ownership within a U.S.-based economically-disadvantaged group of people to closing the great digital divide? Why or why not?

  1. How does an increase in smartphone ownership in a third-world geographic region like Africa close the digital divide for countries in that region? Further, if you owned a U.S. business and wanted to start doing business in Africa, what would be an essential part of your marketing strategy?

  1. If you look at smartphone ownership by household income, you’ll notice a fairly sizable dip for the category of $50,000-$75,000. To what do you attribute this? Justify your answer?

  1. Finally, will greater access to the Internet cause a closing of the great digital divide? You can answer Yes, No, or Some. Whatever the case, build an argument for your answer.

Claim Refusal: Can't Evict Tenant

As the owner of Prairie State Business Plaza, you must respond to the request of Myles Jordan, one of the tenants in your two-story office building. Mr. Jordan, a financial planner, implores you to evict a neighboring tenant who plays loud music throughout the day, interfering with Mr. Jordan's conversations with clients and with his concentration. The noisy tenant, Brody Bates, seems to operate an entertainment booking agency and spends long hours in his office. You know that you can't evict Mr. Bates because, as a legal commercial tenant, he is entitled to conduct his business. However, you might consider moving him to a different office. Another possibility is adding soundproofing, an expense that you would prefer to share with Mr. Bates and Mr. Jordan. You might also discuss limiting the time of day for noisemaking. When you searched the Web for information about commercial eviction, you learned that you have very few options.

Your Task. Decide what to do. Then write to Mr. Jordan denying his request, but strive to retain his goodwill. Tell him how you plan to resolve the problem. Address your letter to Mr. Myles Jordan, 2303 Prairie State Blvd., Wichita, KS 67336.

NPV and ANPV decisions   Personal Finance Problem Richard and Linda Butler decide that it is time to purchase a​ high-definition (HD) television because the technology has improved and prices have fallen over the past 3 years. From their​ research, they narrow their choices to two​ sets, the Samsung​ 64-inch plasma with 1080p capability and the Sony​ 64-inch plasma with 1080p features. The price of the Samsung is ​$2,305 and the Sony will cost ​$2,730. They expect to keep the Samsung for 3​ years; if they buy the more expensive Sony​ unit, they will keep the Sony for 4 years. They expect sell the Samsung for ​$405 by the end of 3​ years; they expect to sell the Sony for ​$375 at the end of the year 4. Richard and Linda estimate that the​ end-of-year entertainment benefits​ (i.e., not going to movies or events and watching at​ home) from the Samsung to be $950 and for the Sony to be $1,035. Both sets can be viewed as quality units and are equally risky purchases. They estimate their opportunity cost to be 9.2%. The Butlers wish to choose the better alternative from a purely financial perspective. To perform this analysis they wish to do the​ following:

a. Determine the NPV of the Samsung HD plasma TV.

b. Determine the ANPV of the Samsung HD plasma TV.

c. Determine the NPV of the Sony HD plasma TV.

d. Determine the ANPV of the Sony HD plasma TV.
