Hypothetically speaking, you are assigned to a committee of three to decide on a dress code for Campbellsville University Staff and Faculty. Only two of the three votes are required to pass this policy. In this situation you are one of the two agreeing to a dress code. What steps might you take to gain the cooperation of the third party after the policy has been initiated.
Instructions:
need turnitin report
need to be finish in 15hrs
Use the correct format and APA format to respond to the discussions questions which I sent previously as an announcement which follows:
a. Introduction – Introduces the topic fully in 12-15 lines

Assignment Description
After engaging in a dialogue with your colleagues on valuation, you will now be given an opportunity to apply principles that were presented in this phase. Using a Web site that provides current stock and bond pricing and yield information, complete and analyze the tables illustrated below. Your mentor suggests using a Web site similar to this one.(http://markets.businessinsider.com/bonds)
To fill out the first table, you will need to select 3 bonds with maturities between 10 and 20 years with bond ratings of “A to AAA,” “B to BBB” and “C to CC” (you may want to use bond screener at the Web site linked above). All of these bonds will have these values (future values) of $1,000. You will need to use a coupon rate of the bond times the face value to calculate the annual coupon payment. You should subtract the maturity date from the current year to determine the time to maturity. The Web site should provide you with the yield to maturity and the current quote for the bond. (Be sure to multiply the bond quote by 10 to get the current market value.) You will then need to indicate whether the bond is currently trading at a discount, premium, or par.

Market Value (Quote)

A-Rated
$1,000
B-Rated
$1,000
C-Rated
$1,000
- Explain the relationship observed between ratings and yield to maturity.
- Explain why the coupon rate and the yield to maturity determine why the bonds would trade at a discount, premium, or par.
In this step, you have been asked to visit a credible Web site that provides detailed information on publicly traded stocks and select 1 that has at least a 5-year history of paying dividends and 2 of its closest competitors.
“To fill up the first table, you will need to gather information needed to calculate the required rate of return for each of the 3 stocks (use the Capital Asset Pricing model). You will need to find the risk-free rate online. It is the 5-year Treasury rate. You will need the market return which is just the return on the S&P 500 Index, and it is available online. You should use an average over 5 years (find the historical yearly returns for the S&P 500 Index and average them). You must research your stocks to find the betas. You should be able to find them at finance.yahoo.com.”

5-year Risk-Free Rate of Return
Beta (ß)
5-Year Return of S&P 500 Index
Required Rate of Return (CAPM)
“To complete the next table, you will need the most recent dividends paid over the past year for each stock, next year’s expected dividends, the expected growth rate of the dividends (which you can calculate by taking next year’s dividend subtracting off this year’s dividend and dividing the result by this year’s dividend), and the required rate of return you calculated in the previous table. You will also need to compare your results with the current value of each stock and determine whether the model suggests that they are over- or underpriced.
CompanyCurrent DividendProjected Growth Rate of DividendsNext year’s DividendRequired Rate of Return (CAPM)Estimated Stock Price (Gordon Model) = Next year’s dividend / (required rate of return – projected growth rate of dividends)Current Stock PriceOver/under Priced
In the third table, you will be using the price to earnings ratio (P/E) along with the average expected earnings per share provided by the Web site. You will also need to compare your results with the current value of each stock to determine whether or not the model suggests that the stocks are over- or underpriced.

After completing the 3 tables, explain your findings and why your calculations coincide with the principles related to bonds that were presented in the Phase. Be sure to address the following:
- Explain the relationship observed between the required rate of return, growth rate and the dividend paid, and the estimated value of the stock using the Gordon Model.
- Explain the value and weaknesses of the Gordon model.
- Explain the how the price-to-earnings model is used to estimate the value of the stocks.
Note: You can find information about the top 500 stocks at this Web site. (http://money.cnn.com/data/markets/sandp/)

Research and Analysis paper-research information related to the marketing and promotion of the acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment
In this assignment, you will research information related to the marketing and promotion of the acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment
. To review the EDUS case and consider the following: (See attachment).
Topics for Research and Analysis
Promotional Goals: Identify specific objectives related to the promotion of EDUS’s acquisition of the institution. In addition, identify specific objectives related to informing potential students of new capabilities and offerings resulting from the acquisition. (Promotional goals vary. Some organizations need to create awareness of their product’s benefits compared to competitors. Other promotional goals may involve communicating new uses for an item, or informing customers or lower prices.)
Business Environment: Identify cultural and legal factors that might influence promotional decisions – both in announcing the acquisition within the region and recruiting new students to the institution. (In some countries, certain information is required in television commercials selling products aimed at children.)
Media Plan: Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries, developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.)
Promotional Strategy: Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from this acquisition.
Economic, Cultural, and Political-Legal Environment: Investigate the economic, cultural, and political-legal environment that might affect promotional messages and media relevant to this acquisition.
Recommended Actions: Recommend EDUS actions related to promotional goals, needed adaptations due to cultural or legal factors, and a media plan. Provide evidence to support your recommendations.
Conclusions: Draw conclusions about the material you have presented. The opinions or judgments you present should be supported by your research.
include statistical data when possible, including tables, graphs, and other visuals that support and enhance your study.
