Assignment 1: Bottling Company Case Study

Due Week 10 and worth 140 points

Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

Tips on Writing the Paper

  1. A philosophy paper consists of the reasoned defense of some claim

Your paper must offer an argument. It can’t consist in the mere report of your opinions, nor in a mere report of the opinions of the philosophers we discuss. You have to defend the claims you make. You have to offer reasons to believe them.

So you can’t just say:

My view is that P.

You must say something like:

My view is that P. I believe this because…or: I find that the following considerations…provide a convincing argument for P.

Similarly, don’t just say:

Descartes says that Q.

Instead, say something like:

Descartes says that Q; however, the following thought-experiment will show that Q is not true… or: Descartes says that Q. I find this claim plausible, for the following reasons…

There are a variety of things a philosophy paper can aim to accomplish. It usually begins by putting some thesis or argument on the table for consideration. Then it goes on to do one or two of the following:

    1. Criticize that argument; or show that certain arguments for the thesis are no good
    2. Defend the argument or thesis against someone else’s criticism
    3. Offer reasons to believe the thesis
    4. Offer counter-examples to the thesis
    5. Contrast the strengths and weaknesses of two opposing views about the thesis
    6. Give examples which help explain the thesis, or which help to make the thesis more plausible
    7. Argue that certain philosophers are committed to the thesis by their other views, though they do not come out and explicitly endorse the thesis
    8. Discuss what consequences the thesis would have, if it were true
    9. Revise the thesis, in the light of some objection

No matter which of these aims you set for yourself, you have to explicitly present reasons for the claims you make. Students often feel that since it’s clear to them that some claim is true, it does not need much argument. But it’s very easy to overestimate the strength of your own position. After all, you already accept it. You should assume that your audience does not already accept your position; and you should treat your paper as an attempt to persuade such an audience. Hence, don’t start with assumptions which your opponents are sure to reject. If you’re to have any chance of persuading people, you have to start from common assumptions you all agree to.

  1. A good philosophy paper is modest and makes a small point; but it makes that point clearly and straightforwardly, and it offers good reasons in support of it

People very often attempt to accomplish too much in a philosophy paper. The usual result of this is a paper that’s hard to read, and which is full of inadequately defended and poorly explained claims. So don’t be over-ambitious. Don’t try to establish any earth-shattering conclusions in your 15-18 page paper. Done properly, philosophy moves at a slow pace.

  1. Originality

The aim of these papers is for you to show that you understand the material and that you’re able to think critically about it. To do this, your paper does have to show some independent thinking.

That doesn’t mean you have to come up with your own theory, or that you have to make a completely original contribution to human thought. There will be plenty of time for that later on. An ideal paper will be clear and straightforward (see below), will be accurate when it attributes views to other philosophers (see below), and will contain thoughtful critical responses to the texts we read. It need not always break completely new ground.

But you should try to come up with your own arguments, or your own way of elaborating or criticizing or defending some argument we looked at in class. Merely summarizing what others have said won’t be enough.

5.What does it mean that a firm is “Burning Cash”; and how does burning cash relate to the need for external funding in a start-up business?

6.

Marty Jones is negotiating with a Venture Capital Fund for $10 MIL financing for his new venture. Marty is the sole founder and owns 100% of the company’s equity. He is adamant that he must keep a 60% interest in the company after external capital is raised.

A VC investor believes an 10X return in NLT 5 years is an appropriate return for the risk associated with this investment.

The company has just begun generating revenue, and it does not expect to generate positive Cash Flow (CF) until Year 2. Discreet Cash Flow projections prepared from pro forma financial statements are presented below. After the discreet forecasting period (Yr 4), Rick and the VC expect CFs to grow by 3.5% per year in perpetuity.

Year Cash Flow
1 $ -2,800,000
2 $  1,000,000
3 $  3,750,000
4 $ 11,000,000
  1. What imputed rate of return demanded by the investor? (3)
  2. Given that required rate of return, what value would the VCs probably give to projected Discreet Period pro forma CFs? (3)
  3. What is the firm’s Terminal Value (TV)? (2)
  4. What is the Present Value of the firm? (2)
  5. At that valuation; how much of the company will Marty have to give up to raise $10 million and will he do the deal?

Founders Investment (YR 0) $   500,000 40% (0) na
Round #1 Investment (YR 2)   4,000,000 35% (2X) None
Round #2 Investment (YR 3)   5,000,000 25% (1X) 2X

 

The family loans carry a 14% coupon cumulative simple interest rate; however the company was only able to pay $50,000 interest in Year 1 and $ 80,000 interest in Year 3.

In Year 6 the company is considering a $31,000,000 purchase offer from larger competitor. Round #1 and Round #2 investors hold CONVERTIBLE, fully PARTICIPATING Preferred Stock.

Participation is in the %’s indicated above. Round #1 Shares earn 8% CUMULATIVE annual Dividends; and Round #2 Shares earn 6% CUMULATIVE annual Dividends. No Dividends have been paid prior to the Sales Transaction. Assume preference will be paid in order of investment (i.e Round 1 gets paid first)

What are the pros and cons of the transaction excluding the new cost uncertainty?

questions on finance

Organized home questions

 

(1) With an initial loan commitment of $1,225,000 and using the initial terms outlined in the case, what is ARP’s expected return if the property is held for six years? Eleven years? Assume that ARP and its investors are in the 31% marginal tax bracket at the federal level and the 6% bracket at the state level. Assume a 28% capital gains tax rate and standard depreciation schedules. Similar projects in the Atlanta market have sold at cap rates of between 8.5% and 11%.

(2) What are the pros and cons of the transaction excluding the new cost uncertainty?

(3) Does the enhanced design required by The Organized Home add value to the real estate? Does it add value to the company’s brand? If The Organized Home moved out of the building, would the design increase/decrease leasing opportunities?

(4) Do you think the development process, primarily the building design process, is different for major national retailers such as Walgreen’s, CVS, or Revco?

(5) Review TOH’s financial statements. What is the company’s financial condition? What will be the financial impact of the company’s growth plans?

(7) Has Adams missed any options during his thought process?

(8) Assess the risks of each of the options defined by Adams as well as any options you believe to be superior.

(9) Assess the probability of the options defined by Adams as well as any new options. Which outcome do you believe is most likely. Which mitigates the greatest amount of risk?

(10) With the new debt and equity structures that might result from the potential options, quantify ARP’s return using a discounted cash-flow model similar to that required in Question 1. Use the same basic cap rate and tax assumptions. List and defend any additional assumptions.

 

(11) Develop and summarize an action plan for Adams. What should he do and what should his negotiating strategy be? This should be in the form of an executive summary

 

Why will this particular case require the use of forensic biology?

Forensic Biology

Listed below are the details outlining a crime scene that occurred over a period of time. You are to investigate and evaluate the crime and be prepared to present your information in a court in the form of a written document. You will have to use entomology, odontology, anthropology, pathology, and microbiology techniques to complete your investigation.

Carl and Joseph were in the woods of Georgia in early fall. They had set up a camp because they were both deer hunters. In the fall of years when the weather is cooler, deer are very prevalent. On this cool November morning, the men were walking through the woods in their quest for deer. On the second day of being in the woods, walking through what was really thick brush and uneven terrain, one of the men slipped and fell into what appeared to be a covering of a hole in the ground. As he began to try and pull himself out, he saw several skulls and bones lying around. He immediately screamed for his friend, who assisted him in getting out of the hole. Together, they looked in and saw skeletons and what appeared to be a decomposing body.

The two men called the local police. The police arrived, secured the area, and called for the forensic team to come and investigate. You are the forensic person that has been asked to identify the 5 skeletons in the grave and the body that was only partially decomposed.
