Your employer, a mid-sized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporary heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of Bigger staff & McDonald (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&M's financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%. Using this information answer the following question:

You have just learned that B&M has undertaken a major expansion that will change its expected free cash flows to -10 million in 1 year, $20 million in 2 years, and $35 million in 3 years. After 3 years, free cash flow will grow at a rate of 5%. No new debt or preferred stock was added; the investment was financed by equity from the owners. Assume the WACC is unchanged at 11% and that there are still 10 million shares of stock outstanding.

(1) What is the company's horizon value (its value of operations at year3)? What is its current value of operations (at time 0)

(2) What is its estimated intrinsic value of equity on a price-per-share basis?

Think about the clinical environment where you currently practice or one you are familiar and analyze opportunities for waste reduction.

Review the IHI resources(http://www.ihi.org/sites/search/pages/results.aspx?k=waste&start1=1 and Hosaapital Inpatient Waste Identification Tool (http://myresource.phoenix.edu/secure/resource/NSG451r2/IHI_Hospital_Inpatient_Waste_Identification_Tool_White_Paper_2011.pdf)to better understand some of the ways you can affect waste as a nurse and a nurse in a leadership role.

Format: Provide a summary of your analysis in the findings column of the table within 200-250 words (single space) communication that you would submit to frontline nurse managers/administrators.

Maintain a scholarly/professional tone - write in third person, so that the focus of the communication is objective and not subjective in presentation (see APA guidelines item #6) correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, APA formatted citations and references, and word limits (20)

Word Doc please!

Jimmy is the CEO of News Corp. His son, Johnny, runs Television Inc. One day Jimmy suggests that Johnny sell Television Inc. to News Corp. Jimmy and Johnny work together to radically inflate the value of Television Inc. Jimmy brings a proposal to the Board of Directors to buy Television Inc. for $500 million dollars even though the corporation is only worth $2 million. The board of directors diligently examines the transaction, but due to clever forgeries, the board does not discover the radical inflation of the corporation. Jimmy never discloses his relationship with Johnny. The sale goes through, and it is shortly discovered that Television Inc., is practically worthless.

A shareholder sues alleging that Jimmy violated his fiduciary duty of loyalty.

Additionally, the shareholder claims that the directors violated their fiduciary duties of care.

Is the shareholder correct?

Modeling with Functions

In this course you have learned the characteristics of different types of functions and have practiced solving application problems involving modeling with these functions. For each scenario below, decide what type of function would best model the situation. Explain why you chose that type of function. Show your work in writing the function to model the situation. Be sure to state what the independent variable represents. Then use your model to answer the questions for that scenario.

1. Susan decides to take a job as a transcriptionist so that she can work part-time from home. To get started, she has to buy a computer, headphones, and some special software. The equipment and software together cost her $1000. The company pays her $0.004 per word, and Susan can type 90 words per minute.

   1. What type of function would be best to model this scenario? Choose one of the following: linear, quadratic, polynomial of degree 3 or higher, rational, exponential, or logarithmic. Explain why you chose this answer.

   2. Write a formula for the function you chose to model this scenario. What does the independent variable in your function represent?

   3. How many hours must Susan work to break even, that is, to make enough to cover her $1000 start-up cost? Show how you found the answer.

   4. If Susan works 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, how much will she earn in a month? Show how you found the answer.

Checking Your Progress – Correlation & Regression Researchers investigated the relationship between amount of study time statistics class and mid-semester quiz scores. The data appear below: 1 28 95 2 25 95 3 3 58 4 10 75 5 0 44 6 15 83 7 20 91 8 24 87 9 7 65 10 8 70 Find the correlation between hours of study and quiz scores, and test it for significance. Then complete a simple linear regression analysis using hours of study to predict quiz scores. Sum of squares for study hours: Sum of squares for quiz scores: Sum of the cross products: Covariance: Value for Pearson r: Critical value for this Pearson r (two-tailed, alpha .05): The p-value associated with this Pearson r: Should you reject the null hypothesis?

1. Find Apple Inc.'s 10-K filings that will give you their financial data for the past 5 years. Note: you could find it on Apple, Inc.'s investor relations' website: http://investor.apple.com/financials.cfm or in EDGAR. 2. Create a spreadsheet where you will enter the 5-year data from the report (from page 24 of Apple's 2015 10-K report). 3. In your spreadsheet, build a similar set-up with the column in the left showing all the lines, e.g. from Net Sales down to Total Shareholder's Equity. 4. Then create columns for the 5 years of historical data (2013) to (2017) - you will note that their fiscal year ends in September. 5. Using this year-by-year historical data, calculate your 3, 5, and 10-year forecasts for each of the rows (i.e. Net Sales, etc., down to Total Shareholder's Equity). You can choose which forecasting method you want to use. 6. After you have completed your forecast, in a Word document, state the type of forecasting method you chose and why. Then write a brief statement as to why Apple's Board of Directors should be confident in these forecasts (for the 3, 5, and 10 years). Remember that hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. Only one page is necessary for this written statement

I would like this answered with time series forecasting. I need to see the Excel sheet complete with the 3, 5, and 10-year forecasts. Why would Apple's Board of Directors be confident in the forecasts provided?

2. working with databases and files in python

a) Write a function with prototype “def profound():” that will prompt the user to type something profound. It will then record the date and time using the “datetime” module and then append the date, time and profound line to a file called “profound.txt”. Do only one line per function call. Use a single write and f-string such that the file contents look like:

2020-10-27 11:20:22 -- Has eighteen letters does

2020-10-27 11:20:36 -- something profound

b) Write a function with prototype “def bestwords():” that will prompt the user to enter a line with some of the best words (separated by spaces). These will be converted to lower case and stored in a data base file (using the dbm and pickle modules) whose keys are a tuple of the current year, month and day (using the datetime module) and the “values” are a set of words collected on that day. Each new word should be checked against all previously-entered words (even those on other days) and it is not added if it already exists in the database. (Hint: I simply subtracted all previous sets of words from the current set, then added that new set to the one for the current day (if it already existed).

c) Write a function with prototype “def printbestwords():” that will simply open the database of best words and print the keys and values, sorted by the keys. Don’t forget to close the database on exit. Example output:

(2020, 10, 26) {'infantroopen', 'susbesdig'}

(2020, 10, 27) {'deligitimatize'}

(2020, 10, 28) {'transpants', 'resaption'}
