Star Appliance is looking to expand their product line and is considering three different projects: dishwashers, garbage disposals, and trash compactors. We want to determine which project would be worth doing by determining if they will add value to Star. Thus, the project(s) that will add the most value to Star Appliance will be worth pursuing. The current hurdle rate of 10% should be re-evaluated by finding the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Then by forecasting the cash flows of each project and discounting them by the WACC to find the net present value, or by solving for the internal rate of return, we should be able to see which projects Star should undertake.

Our approach to valuing the processing plant can easily be decomposed into three distinct steps first, find the value of the foreseeable free cash flows. Next, calculate the terminal value of the project. Finally, take the present value of those flows. The next few paragraphs walk through each of these steps in order of progression.

Maggie as an LVN is providing care that exceeds her duties. Legally, this issue could result in a malpractice lawsuit for all the parties involved. In order for an event to result in a malpractice lawsuit, five things must be present. These include standard of care has to be defined, has to be a violation of duty, has to have cause an injury the patient, and has to have caused an actual injury. In this case no injury occurred, however, both Maggie, her manager, and the physician could be found negligent. The manager’s liability is now as “respondant superior,” which means the manager is responsible for the acts of her employees (Marquis & Huston, 2017). If I were Maggie’s manager, I would have to reprimand her according to my organizations

First of all, it is important not to believe everything because of the information asymmetry. Information asymmetry is when someone does not have all the information he needs to make a decision. This was shown in the book Freakonomics, when real-estate agents use certain words to deliver the wrong massage; certain words such as fantastic and charming are words that should be watched out for (Dubner & Levitt, 2005). Which means that these words lead to a misunderstanding between the buyer and is being advertised. As a result, I learned that I should not believe everything I hear or read because of information asymmetry.

Grappling with the potential purchase of Olive Hill Farm, we decided to conduct a financial analysis to determine whether the project should be taken or not. Our financial analysis include scenarios for the best, worse, and most likely outcomes of purchasing the farm. For each scenario a Net Present Worth (NPW) and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) was calculated and compared. This revealed that there was little gain for the worst case scenario and large gains for the other two scenarios. A sensitivity analysis and a break-even analysis was also conducted. The sensitivity analysis identified the most influential factors on the NPW. In the end, the analysis favored buying Olive Hill Farm because it would be a low risk, high reward investment.

Table 7 in the detailed analysis above shows the summary of the Discounted Cash Flow analysis performed for each of the four potential properties considered for investment.
