...FIN3400 FINANCIAL MGT. BLENDED 475507 Ethics Case 1 Buy It on Credit and Be True to Your School 1. Should universities enter into agreements to offer affinity credit cards to students? In my opinion, I say no! Universities should not enter into agreements to offer affinity credit cards to students. Credit card companies are promoting through a number of channels to reach students. They offer select affinity card arrangements intended to bypass marketing limits. Universities are founded to prepare students to enter the real world. Universities were not founded to make profit, they are an institution for education. Where students go to learn, and the student should not be used as tools for profit. Consequently, educational institutions shouldn’t enter into agreements to offer affinity credit cards to students. KEY FINDINGS Examination of affinity agreements involving some of the nation's largest and most prestigious colleges revealed that schools and alumni associations: • Sell students' personal information. Many are contractually obligated to share students' names, phone numbers and addresses with banks. • Earn royalties: Banks typically pay schools $1 for each student who keeps a credit card open for 90 days. When students carry a balance, some schools can collect up to $3 more per card. • Cash in each time a student uses plastic: Many schools are entitled to receive 0.4 percent of all retail purchases made with student cards. • Benefit from marketing incentives:...

...To whom it may concern: I, David Smith, had lost my job due to the economy and my wife was in school to become a beautician so our income took a severe reduction. I have always been a hard worker and value my word and my credit. During this time I contacted my mortgage lender and told them what was going on and they told me that we could go into arrears and they would see what they could do for us. I did not want to do this as I knew it would possibly hurt our credit but I took my lender at their word and did as they instructed me to do. Once we were behind they contacted me to begin the process for the modification. We then had our loan modification accepted and once the modification went through we were able to catch up the mortgage they instructed me to fall behind on and now we have been current for over 18 months with no late fees. In fact, there have been several months where we were able to send a little extra. It has been a terrible mess and learning experience but I have completely gotten this resolved and have maintained our perfect credit and payment schedule I always had before this event occurred. My employment is stable and my wife is now finished with her school and she is bringing in income as well. Thank you for taking time to read this and for giving us a chance to continue building our excellent credit history. Sincerely, David...

...Approximately one third of your credit score is based on how much debt you have. A lower credit score means that you will have a difficult time getting approved for certain types of loans and credit cards. Being in debt can cause illness, sleeping difficulties, and relationship problems. The consequences of ignoring too much debt could eventually lead to personal bankruptcy. Some signs of trouble are: juggling bills to cover payments, being overlimit on credit cards, making only minimum payments on credit cards, using credit cards to pay normal living expenses, having a credit card cancelled for poor payment history, being repeatedly overdrawn at your bank, and being embarrassed to discuss your finances. Any of these things can cause you to have to modify your lifestyle by: selling assets, obtaining a part-time job to pay off bills, get a debt consolidation loan, or share housing to save money. These things can be difficult but they could save you from your last option, personal bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is never a good idea because the court costs and attorney fees alone can cost $1, 000 or more. Bankruptcy stays on your credit report for ten years. Bankruptcy may also affect your ability to obtain a home mortgage or other credit. My Plan for Repaying My Student Loans Before even making the decision to return to school I knew I would probably need student loans to pay my tuition. About a year before I started my own debt elimination plan. I took my smallest credit card, paid it off and...

...songs, movies/dramas, or anything that is an idea of someone without giving them credit of their work. People copy others work because of various reasons, those reasons includes less time needed in doing the work. Some people are lazy and some don’t like spending too much time doing one thing. Some would decide to do the work the very last minute to the point where they don’t have enough time to finish without copying. And others want to have a better quality work than what they came up with so they search and copy or modify a better one, they don’t have knowledge of the work so they copy, or they don’t have the patience to do the work. Procrastination, laziness, lack of knowledge of the topic, writes block, low self-confidence of own work can lead someone to plagiarize. There are times when plagiarism is done without the knowledge of that person. They could have an idea, turn it into reality but end up realizing that their idea is exactly or almost similar to someone else’s. You can borrow the work of someone as long as you give credit to the people or person who created them. No matter the reason is; it should be common sense that it is bad to copy and steal someone else’s work. It is better to create something knowing that it is unique and it came from your own hard work. People should not plagiarize because it is unethical, someone worked hard to create something and they should get credit of it. Before deciding to copy someone else’s hard work, imagine yourself in their...

...monthly payment will be $1,000 a month. “Great!” you think. “We can afford a house with an extra bedroom and a renovated kitchen!” Not so fast. By opting for the less-expensive mortgage, you free up $200 a month to put toward another goal. That’s $2,400 a year you could invest in a Roth IRA for your retirement, for example. In 30 years—the typical time it takes to pay off a mortgage—the $200 a month you managed to save in your Roth IRA could be worth nearly $170,000 at an average annual rate of return of 5%! Debt Mistakes to Never Make Again (cont.) pg. 1 Debt Mistakes Never to Make Again 2 Don’t charge more on your credit card than you can afford to pay off in full each month. An unpaid credit card balance is one of the worst debt mistakes. The typical interest rate charge on your unpaid balance is above 15%! That’s crazy. Limit your credit card purchases so when the bill comes you can send in a payment for the entire amount. 3 Don’t be late! Paying your bills...

...Is It Plagiarism Yet? Discussion Questions: What are some of things that are considered blatant plagiarism? Cheating, and borrowing an unauthorized document that was not written by you. This includes coping a large section from a source without the proper punctuations/citations. When plagiarism is used, you are not giving the original owner proper credit. You are submitting documents that are not coming from your thoughts, nor were they type or written out. These words were created by someone else's thoughts. I have returned back to school to educate myself with the courses that were setup for me through the proper handling of Post University, so that I can move forward towards my goals, and career. It would be “common knowledge” for me to know that I would not learning the courses. It would be “common knowledge” for me to know that I do not deserve the credit. And that the Instructors time was wasted. What are some of the sources that require citations and references? Movies Music Advertisements Magazines T.V. Shows Newspapers In your own words, what is common knowledge? Common knowledge is knowing that if you are deliberately doing it. Using plagiarism, there are going to be consequences. You should know that you will not be receiving the grade that you think you deserve. Your Instructor would probably give you a big fat 0 grade because it will not count as your work. At Post University there has been a second, even a third occurrence. Depending...

...Harvard Business School 9-291-026 Rev. October 29, 1993 Note on Bank Loans Bank loans are a versatile source of funding for businesses. For example, these loans can be structured either as short- or long-term, fixed or floating rate, demand or with a fixed maturity, and secured or unsecured. While each potential borrower's business is unique, reasons to borrow generally include the purchase of assets including new fixed assets or entire businesses, repayment of obligations, raising of temporary or permanent capital, and the meeting of unexpected needs. Loan repayment generally comes from one of four sources: operations, turnover or liquidation of assets, refinancing, or capital infusion. This note describes traditional bank lending products, the role of the lending officer, credit evaluation, and the structuring of credit facilities and loan agreements. Specialized loan and credit products are described in Appendix A. Traditional Commercial Bank Lending Products While increased competition has forced banks to develop innovative credit facilities and financing techniques, traditional products, which include short-term, long-term, and revolving loans, continue to be the mainstay of commercial banking. Short-Term Loans Short-term loans, those with maturities of one year or less, comprise more than half of all commercial bank loans made. Seasonal lines of credit and special purpose loans are the most common short-term credit facilities. Their primary use is to finance...

...Stockholm School of Economics 4307 Banking and Financial Intermediation Term Paper 16th October 2015 Authors: Aatman Ajmera- 40743, Abhilash Badami-40744, Lampros Baltas-40757 New Business Models: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending Abstract: This paper evaluates the efficacy of the peer-to-peer lending model. While we primarily discuss the consumer loan market, the structure, principles and associated risks are fairly similar for other end markets as well. Contrary to popular opinion, empirical evidence from the limited available market data proves that P2P platforms do not have a lower cost as a percentage of loan receivables at this point compared to traditional banks. As these higher costs are primarily due to marketing activities, going forward, with scalability, they are poised to generate significant cost savings. Through our research, we conclude that P2P lending has a strong value proposition and the potential to disrupt the existing lending market, however, data quality, regulation and investor confidence will play a monumental role in determining the speed and magnitude of its success. What is peer-to-peer lending? Technological evolution, along with changing consumer behaviour, has led to a new era of innovation in financial services and subsequently more transparent and easy-to-use platforms. One of the new business models that has evolved, is peer-to-peer (P2P) lending. In essence, P2P lending is a form of debt financing which allows borrowers and...
