...Case 1: Malincho (Word limit: 1000 words, A4, 12-times new roman, 1.5 line spacing) Q1. What is the Case all about? The case is all about Mr. Kalin Pentchev’s business. Kalin is a Bulgarian who traveled to the US for his Accounting and Finance studies. His experiences and discussions led him to the cheese business: Bulgarian feta importation. The case describes his story from 2000 to 2003 where he started from nothing and built a well-established business. His activity went from importing containers of cheese only, to importing a variety of Eastern European products. * First time business * Early stages * Opportunities Q2. Please describe Mr. Kalin Pentchev’s personality Kalin is a hardworker, selfmade man who doesn’t seem to have limits on what he can do to create a successful business. He has an interesting personality because he can spend a lot of time brainstorming before taking a decision, but when it comes to solve an urgent issue he is able to think fast and adapt to almost any situation. Intelligent with strong business abilities, he knows how to manipulate peoples mind like when he decides to buy a brand new car and a suit just to impress the people he has to make business with. Q3. Is It a good opportunity for Kalin’s business? Kalin started from almost nothing. He had to take risks, think fast and use his network to succeed, while remaining aware of the costs and benefits of everything. His personality suits perfectly for his activity since you need...

...always so, there are times where conflict can bring unexpected qualities from people – change a person for the better. Humans are stubborn, without being naturally stubborn, humans would have not evolved like we did. Furthermore, conflict leads to the building of strong relationships amongst those involved. An agreement is formed between people with the same goal of overcoming conflict; they can support each other through this hardship. During “Omagh”, the Help and Support group had Protestants and Catholic members. Even though the two did not blend together before, they were united in conflict. Additionally, the United Nations was formed on the basis of this idea - People had the same beliefs about world peace and formed an organization leading the charge for a better world. When people fight for the same cause, they are united together as one. People change for the better. However, every coin has two sides. Conflict is not always virtuous; it breeds suffering. Whether it is at the mercy of global or local catastrophes, people are most vulnerable during...

...Finance 475 Euroland Foods Case Spring, 2014 1. What are the various capital-budgeting tools currently used by leading firms? Define each, and discuss the accept/reject criterion for each. Which one is “best,” and why is it best? 2. Evaluate the capital-budgeting criteria of Euroland Foods on page 326. Their “Minimum Acceptable IRR” criterion is wrong. Why? Also, why is their criteria not a complete set of criteria with which to evaluate projects? 3. Evaluate the “Minimum Acceptable IRR” returns that Euroland uses for different types of projects. (See page 326.) When, if ever, should these returns be used as the hurdle rate instead of WACC? 4. Evaluate Euroland’s capital rationing. Do you agree or disagree with this policy? Why? If you disagree, then what policy should Euroland follow? 5. In Exhibit 3, rank order (from first to fifth) the five most profitable of the 11 projects, in accordance with correct, risk adjusted capital-budgeting criteria. State the NPV of each of the five projects. Explain your ranking criteria. (Note: create a table showing ONLY the five most profitable projects and their profitability; do NOT state any other projects.) 6. Did Euroland take risk into account in its capital budgeting? If so, how? Which project is the riskiest, and why? There are several reasons why the riskiest project is riskiest; name three reasons. 7. Which of the 11 possible projects was not evaluated in Exhibit 3? Why do you think it was not evaluated? Calculate...

Often the most important paragraph in the entire essay, the introduction grabs the reader's attention—sometimes a difficult task for academic writing. When writing an introduction, some approaches are best avoided. Avoid starting sentences with “The purpose of this essay is . . .” or “In this essay I will . . .” or any similar flat announcement of your intention or topic.

Goal Setting Goal Setting is one of the main skills needed in order to succeed in higher education, it helps you set a timeline, maintain organization, and gives you an idea of how far you’ve gone, and how much you have accomplished in your class. I haven’t always been a goal setter. It wasn’t until my second year in the Army when I was in Afghanistan surrounded by dirt, and trees slumped in a hot little wooden hut with seven other men doing the same boring routine, when our boss the Section Chief wanted to change things up. He told us we had one month to complete at least ten hours of correspondent courses, which are kind of like online college classes, except it was for the Army. Knowing that he wouldn’t take it lightly if I blew off the task, I one had to...

...Case Report: National Cranberry Cooperative Fill in your name in the header. Please read the Assignment Collaboration Guidelines in Course Syllabus: Collaboration between groups is not allowed; however, if you hear something from some other group, please give a reference. Below, write your answers to Questions 1-4 (on BB/Cases). Your analysis should be based on the assumptions listed in the Syllabus. If you need to make additional assumptions to answer a question, clearly state them, logically defend them, and then proceed to answer the question accordingly. The idea is to answer the questions concisely. Double spacing is preferred, 1.5-line spacing is the minimum (consider the reader’s eye strain). 1. Analyze the current process. Using the process flow map (available on CTools) of the current process at Receiving Plant No.1, mark the capacity and utilization of each of the resources. Show the flows of wet and dry berries separately. First we receive 18,000 barrels over a 12 hour period which leads to a 1,500 bbl/ Hr, Then 75% of 1,500 total berries per hour equal 1,125 bbl/Hr and the remaining 25% or 375 bbl/Hr are dry berries. While our Dumper is holding a capacity of 3,000 bbl/Hr and utilizing only the 1,500 bbl/Hr we are receiving. Those berries would then split up in the dry and wet storage bins. Dry bins have a capacity of 4,000 bbl/Hr which is 16 bins holding 250 bbl/Hr each. Whereas the wet bins kept a storage capacity of 3,200 with 8 bins holding 250 bbl/Hr...

...Defining Diversity Defining Diversity * To me, diversity encompasses a wide range of elements in which to classify a student population. It includes the obvious such as race/ethnicity, culture, gender, disabilities, and socio-economic status. However, diversity goes so much deeper. Diversity also includes the various cognitive levels in students, the different styles in which they learn, and the various levels of motivation in students. Each of these diversity categories can be evidenced in an educational setting. The impact it has on a school can be positive if it is approached and handled appropriately by the school and its’ teachers. If it is not, it can have very negative effects on the school and the student. Having low expectations and showing bias toward one diverse group over another can have a very negative and lasting impact. It is important to acknowledge that ALL students can achieve if given the motivation and encouragement to do so. According to Janine Bempechat, high achievers in all ethnic groups believed that success was die to hard work. She concluded, “Teachers need to help low achievers understand that poor performance does not result from a lack of ability as much as from lack of trying” (Nieto & Bode, 2008). It is for this reason that it is of utmost importance that teachers convey positive messages to their students. Building self-esteem can be the first step in academic achievement. If students do not believe they have the ability...

...Communications Effective & Ineffective Rebecca Edwards BCOM/275 December 14, 2011 University of PhoenixDale J. Harrington Communications Effective & Ineffective Communication is a process of sending and receiving messages. Communication is to listen, receive information and someone else’s thoughts in writing, verbal or in person. I believe communications can be non-verbal or verbal. Verbal communications can be written or oral and non verbal is expressions, body move, and eye contact. We need to have good effective skills both personal and professional in every day life, to maintain relationships, either with co-workers or family. Demonstrative can be effective by collaborating. I believe oral communication is very effective, because we are voicing our opinion and receiving feedback from each employee. Having good effective skills both personal and professional in every day life, to maintain relationships, for example; co-workers family and friends. I believe in having eye contact indicates you are listening to the sender and [Incomplete sentence and the font size is 11 and not 12 with this paragraph.] Ineffective communication in an organization can lead to non-productive employees, due to ignoring the employees request or statements on the job situation.

Grading The information in the handouts is not very clear and does not include the case, so here some more precision about the grading rules: Everybody should do a writeup for the Wrigley Capital Structure Case. If you only do the case the final exam will count for 70% and the case writeup for 30% of the final grade.
