Review Bill Cosby’s speech : http://www.blackpast.org/?q=2004-bill-cosby-pound-cake-speech 

or at

http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/billcosbypoundcakespeech.htm

Now that you have learned about the struggles and triumphs that African-Americans had to endure and I argue are still enduring today, why do you think Bill Cosby in this speech is so angry with the result of all that hard work? What is he witnessing that may provoke his concerns about the children of today? Do you think he is off base with his concerns? Do you see any problems with todays youth and how they perceive freedom, education, civil rights and respect for the past

 

• Write a 700-word response to the following questions:
  • What function does a grand jury serve? What function does a trial jury serve?
  • Many states have replaced grand juries with prosecutors who are authorized to charge crimes by filing sworn information. Some, however, require a grand jury indictment before a person is charged with a capital crime. Does replacement of the indictment function of grand juries at the state level with prosecutors authorized to charge crimes by filing sworn information impair the rights of citizens charged with crimes?
  • Explain each of the three classes of court-martial (summary, special, and general) and indicate who presides over each individual class.

  Format your response consistent with APA guidelines, which includes citations and references.

 

Assignment 1: Discussion—Value of Money

Business decisions are based on the time value of money. Bonds, stocks, loans, and other business investments are valued by determining the present value of an expected cash flow, which is also called discounting the cash flow. The time value of money finds considerable application in the decision-making processes of a business.

In this assignment, you will apply the basic principles of the time value of money to business decisions.

Tasks:

Part 1:

You are the chief financial officer of a firm. The firm has an expected liability (cash outflow) of $2 million in ten years at a discount rate of 5%.

• Calculate the amount the firm would need on the present date as savings to cover the expected liability.
• Calculate the amount the firm would need to set aside at the end of each year for the next ten years to cover the expected liability.

Part 2:

Using the Argosy University online library resources, identify an article that demonstrates the application of time value of money principles to a business decision.

• Explain the specific business decision that management made after computing this value. Analyze how management used the concept of the time value of money principles to make this decision.
• Analyze factors other than the time value of money that management considered or should have considered in reaching the business decision

Assignment 2: Exposures, Financial Contracts, and Operational Techniques

Your company is considering expanding into the international markets. The Board of Directors has asked you create a 5-to-8-page report that defines and explains the various types of exposure the company could experience and the types of financial contracts and operational techniques that will be used to deal with these exposures.

Of particular interest to the Board are the relationships among different types of exposures, financial contracts, and operational techniques. The Board has asked you to address the following issues in your report:

• Define the different types of exposure the firm might encounter, including transaction exposure, economic exposure, and translation exposure and explain why they occur Use examples to support your response..
• Explain the relationship between the three types of exposure. Provide examples to illustrate how and why it occurs.
• Describe the different types of financial contracts and how they are associated with each type of exposure.
• Explain the operational techniques that are available for each type of exposure.
• Make sure to include at least three outside resources to support the claims you present in your report.

Please use the five section themes as level I headings in the paper:

 

Introduction (Use the title of the paper, not the word introduction.)

The Stocks

Diversification

Risk and Return

Financial Results

Introduction: What the purpose of the project is and what you anticipate learning from it. All research and academic papers should have a purpose statement.

The stocks: Explain the stocks you picked for your portfolio and why. Discuss some of the fundamental financials such as sales, revenue, cash-flow, and income, what attracted you to the company? Think about the various financial statements we discussed (or will discuss) in class: a) income statement; b) balance sheet; c) statement of cash flows; and d) reconciliation of net worth.

A short discussion of diversification: Please begin with a formal definition of diversification and include a citation/reference. Why is diversification important? How did you diversify your portfolio? If you didn’t diversify your portfolio, that’s ok, just tell us why.

Risk and return: Please begin with a formal definition of beta and include a citation/reference Did you choose high or low volatility companies to invest in? I suggest you do some research on Beta (volatility) and how this might or might not have had an influence of your choice of companies in your portfolio.

Financial results: How did your portfolio perform? Did you earn a profit, (we say earn a profit because you took the risk of investing in a particular company) or lose money. Would you pick the same stocks again? Would you purchase these stocks in reality? What did you learn?

The paper should follow APA 6th edition. and should have a cover and reference page.

Introduction, body, conclusion

In Assignments 2.1 (Part 1) and 2.2 (Part 2) of the Justification Report, you built up the major parts of your formal, researched justification report (Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, Methods, Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References). For Part 3 you will begin by inserting your revisions of Parts 1 and 2 based on your instructor’s suggestions. Then, you will include a few new sections. Note: Some sections presented below are out of order so pay attention to where the section should go (for instance, the Transmittal should be the second page of your report based on the provided template). It is essential that you present the final report in the correct section order.

 

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

 

• Preliminary Parts (for Question 1)
• Introduction (for Question 2)
• • Problem Statement (for Question 2b)
  • Terminology (for Question 2c)
  • Major Sections of the Report (for Question 2d)
  • Scope and Limitations of the Research (for Question 2e)
• Recommendation (for Question 3)
• References (for Question 4)

 

Using the provided template from Week 7, write Part 3 to complete a single-spaced report in which you:

 

1. Create the preliminary parts of the report that precede the Introduction (after reading Chapter 11 in the textbook). Each element (1a to 1d) appears on a separate page (1a should be page 1, 1b should be page 2, etc.). The preliminary part includes:
   1. Title Page
   2. Transmittal (stand-alone business letter)
   3. Table of Contents
   4. Executive Summary
2. Create an introduction that tells what your report is about. The introduction includes:
   1. Begin with a general introduction paragraph that gives the reader any needed background information on the company or problem.
   2. Include the Problem Statement that you already created and revised in Part 1.
   3. Include terms that readers will need to know in order to understand the report.
   4. Briefly summarize the major sections and findings of the report developed in Parts 1 and 2. Note: This is in addition to including the revised sections not instead of including the revised previous sections from Parts 1 and 2.
   5. Discuss what your report will cover and what it will not (including limitations such as research, time, information, or any other factors the reader should consider when reading the report).
3. Create the Recommendation section of the Report.
   1. Provide a one to two (1-2) sentence recommendation based on what your Evaluation of Alternatives and Findings and Analysis sections have determined is the most feasible alternative (i.e., solution) to the problem in the Problem Statement.
4. Create the References section, which goes at the end of the Report by pasting in your revised References page.

 

Note: Remember to organize the report by the section headings. The report should reflect a style and format appropriate for business; single spacing and bullet points are acceptable for formal business reports.

 

Your assignment must:

 

• Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
