SEC 10-K PowerPoint Presentation

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/829224/000082922415000038/sbux-9272015x10k.htm

•You will also be required to prepare a brief PowerPoint presentation between 6 to 10 slides (not including title and reference slides).
•Consider presenting information in charts, graphs, and/or tables to make your presentation easier to read by an audience.
•Avoid having large blocks of text because this is difficult for an audience to read.
•Avoid copying blocks of text directly from your paper.
•You can include speaker’s notes to show what you’d “speak” if you were giving the presentation. However, you should avoid copying text directly from your paper since people speak different than they write. Plus if you simply copy text from your paper as your speaker’s notes, you’ll end up reading your presentation, which will sound stilted since, again, people speak differently than they write.
•Include a reference slide in APA format.

Avoid having too much text

It’s important to avoid having too much text on PowerPoint slides. Students often make the mistake of including too much text on their PowerPoint slides, which tends to be very difficult for a viewer to read. You don’t even have to include complete sentences. Short phrases or words are often enough because, remember, you’d be speaking your message rather than have them read. So a lot of text would be redundant and visually unappealing And you should definitely never copy and paste passages of text from your paper into your slideshow.

Charts, graphs, and tables

PowerPoint presentations are meant to be visual, so using charts, graphs, and tables to present your company’s information is much more effective than relying on large block of text. Here are some websites that offer guidelines for using the right chart or graph:
•Juice Labs – Chart Chooser (http://labs.juiceanalytics.com/chartchooser/index.html )
•Types of Charts: Choose the Best Chart to Convey Your Message (http://www.mymarketresearchmethods.com/types-of-charts-choose/ )
•How to Choose the Best Chart for Your Data (http://lifehacker.com/5909501/how-to-choose-the-best-chart-for-your-data )

Make a conclusion/recommendation

Speaking of conclusions, be sure to have one. Would you recommend investing in the company? What is your opinion of their outlook for the future? Be sure your conclusions can be supported with analysis.

During this module we have learned a few useful financial formulas. Here is another one: This formula computes the monthly mortgage payment (principal + interest).

M-monthly mortgage payment
r-annual interest rate
n-number of payments per year
P-Principal (amount borrowed)
t-number of years

Write a response that completes the following tasks and meets the list of requirements that follow to build your response for this Critical Thinking Assignment:
First, check if you can use this formula correctly: If you borrow 300,000 at 3.75% annual rate for 30yrs, then mortgage payment (principal + interest) should come out to $1,389.35.
Consider a case where you borrow 235,000 at 3.85% annual rate for 30 years fixed.
1. Compute the mortgage payment using the above formula.
2. Construct the re-payment schedule using Excel. Consider viewing this video for some Excel short-cuts and hints: Repayment Schedule in Excel
3. What is the total payment at the end of 30 years? How much of it is just interest?
4. Now respond to questions 1, 2, and 3, but for a 15-year mortgage.
5. In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of each option (30-year mortgage vs. 15-year mortgage)?
Requirements:
• Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length and cite and integrate at least one credible outside source.
• Include a title page, an introduction, a body, a conclusion, and a Reference list.
• The introduction should summarize the problem and state what approach and method will be applied to solve it.
• The body of your paper should answer the questions posed in the problem, explain how you approached and answered the question or solved the problem, and for each question, show all steps involved.
• The conclusion should summarize your findings and what you have determined from the data and your analysis, with a broader or personal perspective in mind when applicable.
• As with all written assignments, provide in-text citations and a reference page.
• Include any tables of data or calculations, calculated values, and/or graphs associated with this problem in the body of your assignment.

You will need to complete the enzyme lab assignment that I have put in the “enzyme lab” folder on your lab blackboard site. To adjust the pH in each test tube click on the blue arrows so that you have a range of pH represented (pH of 3,5,7,9 and 11). Click on the image of the computer monitor to open up the data table. Add 1.0g of substrate to each test tube.

After answering the questions in the enzyme lab assignment, create a graph of the number of molecules of product formed per minute as a function of pH. Be sure to label the graph with correct titles and be sure to place the appropriate variables on each axis. Upload the graph to the appropriate place in the graph upload area.

After answering the questions in the below, create a graph of the number of molecules of product formed per minute as a function of pH. Be sure to label the graph with correct titles and be sure to place the appropriate variables on each axis.
The questions that are based on the lab.
What is your hypothesis?
Describe the experimental design?
Using complete sentences, describe your results?

What does your data indicate about the optimum pH level for this enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
Restate your hypothesis. Based on your data, has your hypothesis been confirmed or rejected?

The Student note for the writer: Please don’t forget to give me the word document with the question answered and the excel file for the graph, so in total I need you to give me 2 files, word and excel.
