Business Assignment
Once again, your team is the key financial management team for your company. The company’s CEO is now looking to expand its operations by investing in new property, plant, and equipment. Your team recently calculated the WACC for your company, which will now be useful in evaluating the project’s effectiveness. You are now asked to do some capital budgeting analysis that will determine whether the company should invest in these new plant assets.
The parameters for this project are: Your team will be using the same company for this project that you used in the Week 6 project. The company is now looking to expand its operations and wants you to do some analysis using key capital budgeting tools to do this. The parameters for this project are as follows.
The firm is looking to expand its operations by 10% of the firm’s net property, plant, and equipment. (Calculate this amount by taking 10% of the property, plant, and equipment figure that appears on the firm’s balance sheet.)
The estimated life of this new property, plant, and equipment will be 12 years. The salvage value of the equipment will be 5% of the property, plant and equipment’s cost.
The annual EBIT for this new project will be 18% of the project’s cost.
The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate this equipment. Also assume that there will be no increases in net working capital each year. Use the same marginal tax rate that you used in the Week 6 project.
The hurdle rate for this project will be the WACC that you calculated in Week 6.
Deliverable for this Project Prepare a narrated PowerPoint presentation using VoiceThread or Webex that will highlight the following items. • Your calculations for the amount of property, plant, and equipment and the annual depreciation for the project • Your calculations that convert the project’s EBIT to free cash flow for the 12 years of the project. • The following capital budgeting results for the project o Net present value o Internal rate of return o Discounted payback period. • Your discussion of the results that you calculated above, including a recommendation for acceptance or rejection of the project
Once again, you may embed your Excel spreadsheets into your document. Be sure to follow APA standards for this project.

Signature Assignment: Training Program Plan*
The Training Program Plan project provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a training program that leads to a positive impact on adult learning. You will design and create a training program plan that includes the following components:
• Needs or gap analysis • Training program description • Budget • Stakeholders and goals • Training promotional materials • Program evaluation
Part I – Needs or Gap Analysis
It is recommended that you begin this section of the Training Program Plan in Week 1.
Analyze your identified educational need in your workplace organization by completing a needs or gap analysis. Use a survey or questionnaire, or conduct a focus group to determine needs or gaps.
Write a 350- to 700-word analysis of the educational needs at the organization. Include evidence from your survey, questionnaire, or focus group to support your analysis, and explain how a training program will support a positive impact on adult learning.
Part II – Training Program Description
It is recommended that you begin this section of the Training Program Plan in Week 2.
Based on the needs/gap analysis, describe the training program that you will be designing for your workplace organization:
• Define the scope of the training program. • Describe the intended audience. • Define the program goals. • Define the program objectives.
Write a 350-word introduction to the training program explaining how it will produce a positive impact on adult learning.
Format the paper consistent with APA guidelines.
Part III – Budget
It is recommended that you begin this section of the Training Program Plan in Week 3.
Create a budget for the training program you are designing for your workplace organization based on the scope, audience, goals, and objectives described in Part II.
Include cost estimates for all the following categories in your budget.
• Personnel • External staff (e.g., consultants) • Materials or Equipment • Technical support • Travel • Facilities
Part IV – Stakeholders and Goals
It is recommended that you begin this section of the Training Program Plan in Week 4.
Using the program goals you identified in Part II, create a list of stakeholders aligned to each goal.
Explain the role of each stakeholder in the training program and how you intend to gain their support to produce a positive impact on adult learning for the training program.
Part V – Training Promotional Materials
It is recommended that you begin this section of the Training Program Plan in Week 5.
Create promotional materials for the training program you are developing for your workplace organization. Include the following in your promotional materials:
• A marketing message that includes a logo, slogan, and fact sheet • Benefits of the training program, including instructional practices to produce a positive impact on adult learning • An explanation of how you will communicate and distribute the promotional materials in your organization
Part VI – Program Evaluation
It is recommended that you begin this section of the Training Program Plan in Week 5.
Create an evaluation for your training program. Include qualitative and quantitative items in your evaluation. Consider using a survey, questionnaire, etc.
Part VII – Implementation

1. List the simple events for each of the following statistical experiments in a sample space. One roll of a die. Note: Separate your response with a comma (,). For example 22, 23, 24 Three tosses of a coin. Note: Use this notation for your answer. heads = H. tails = T. For example HT, TH One toss of a coin and one roll of a die. Note: Use this notation. Heads = H or numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for the dice. For example H1 indicates heads and dice roll equal to 1.
2. Two students are randomly selected from a statistics class, and it is observed whether or not they suffer from math anxiety. Indicate which are simple and which are compound events. Both students suffer from math anxiety. Exactly one student suffers from math anxiety. The first student does not suffer and the second suffers from math anxiety. None of the students suffers from math anxiety.
