The Arts and Royalty; Philosophers Debate Politics

Please respond to one (1) of the following, using sources under the Explore heading and any other sources of the same quality that you find as the basis of your response:

  • In this week’s readings, a dispute in the French royal court is described between the playwright Moliere and a well-born Parisian; Louis XIV stepped in. In what two ways did Louis make use of drama and the performance arts to promote his power? Identify one (1) example of a modern political leader approaching the arts this way.
  • The philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke disagreed on the understanding of political authority, with Locke taking what is commonly called the “liberal” view. Choose a side (be brave perhaps; take a side you actually disagree with). Using the writings of each, given in our class text or in the websites below, and make your case for the side you chose and against the other side. Identify one (1) modern situation in the world where these issues are significant.
  • Louis XIV was the master of public relations. Explain two ways he used the arts as propaganda. The textbook and my Live Session for Week 2 will give you plenty of ideas.
  • Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre (1625-1729) was Louis XIV’s favorite composer of dances and she was the first woman in France to write an opera that was performed on the national stage. Compare her career and role in Louis’s court with that of George Friederich Handel (1685-1759). Although he was never at Louis’ court, Handel spent most of his life in Britain and came there to write “Italian” operas for the aristocracy and the king but his own genius came to prevail. He was buried in the most prestigious burial spot in England, Westminster Cathedral. How did each influence the music of their times?

    Case Analysis

    eBay is one of the biggest online auctioning companies in the world. Buyers and sellers of all types are able to hop online, put up something for sale, and sell it! Basically, the way it works is that you find something you want to bid on, place a bid on it, and wait to see if your bid wins. If it does, you send your information to the seller, and in return, he or she sends you your goods.

    Is an eBay auction a legally-binding contract? In a minimum of 500 words, consider whether a bid placed in an online auction on eBay is legally binding and, therefore, enforceable. Explain your reasoning using the elements of contract analysis that you have learned thus far, including valid offer, valid acceptance, and the various forms of consideration. Cite any direct quotes or paraphrased material from outside sources. Use APA format.

    I ONLY NEED THE FIRST TWO BULLET POINTS COMPLETED. THEY ARE IN BOLD.

    Purpose of Assignment

    The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate to students how the issuance of debt to purchase outstanding common stock could affect the value of the company’s equity and redefine the capital structure. The problem will also allow students to explore the effect of corporate taxes through debt financing.

    Assignment Steps

    Resources: Corporate Finance

    Scenario: Hightower, Inc. plans to announce it will issue $2.0 million of perpetual debt and use the proceeds to repurchase common stock. The bonds will sell at par with a coupon rate of 5%. Hightower, Inc. is currently an all-equity company worth $7.5 million with 400,000 shares of common stock outstanding. After the sale of the bonds, the company will maintain the new capital structure indefinitely. The company currently generates annual pretax earnings of $1.5 million. This level of earnings is expected to remain constant in perpetuity. The tax rate is 35%.

    Prepare a 1,050-word memo advising the management of Hightower, Inc. on the financial impact, including the following:

    • What is the expected return on the company’s equity before the announcement of the debt issue?
    • Construct the company’s market value balance sheet before the announcement of the debt issue. What is the price per share of the firm’s equity?
    • Construct the company’s market value balance sheet immediately after the announcement of the debt issue.
    • What is the company’s stock price per share immediately after the repurchase announcement?
    • How many shares will the company repurchase as a result of the debt issue? How many shares of common stock will remain after the repurchase?
    • What is the required return on the company’s equity after the restructuring?
    • Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of debt financing over equity financing.

    Show all calculations and submit with your memo.

    Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

    Gulf Real Estate Properties, Inc. is a real estate firm located in southwest Florida. The company, which advertises itself as an “expert in the real estate market,” monitors condominium sales by collecting data on location, list price, sale price, and the number of days it takes to sell each unit. Each condominium is classified as Gulf View if it is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico, or No Gulf View if it is located on the bay or a golf course (near but not on the Gulf). Sample data from the Multiple Listing Service in Naples, Florida, provided sales data for 40 Gulf View condominiums and 18 No Gulf View condominiums. The complete data set is in the file named Real Estate, linked at the bottom of the page.

    Managerial Report
    Prepare a report (see below) that summarizes your assessment of the nature of the housing market in southwest Florida. Be sure to include the following seven (7) items in your report.

    1. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, range, and standard deviation) to summarize each of the three variables for the 40 Gulf View condominiums. Are there any outliers in the data set for any of the three variables? If there are any outliers in any category, please list them and state for which category they are an outlier. Describe which method you used to make your determination.
    2. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, range, and standard deviation) to summarize each of the three variables for the 18 No Gulf View condominiums. Are there any outliers in the data set for any of the three variables? If there are any outliers in any category, please list them and state for which category they are an outlier. Describe which method you used to make your determination.
    3. Compare your summary results from #1 and #2. Discuss any specific statistical results that would help a real estate agent understand the condominium market.
    4. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Gulf View condominiums. Interpret your results.
    5. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for No Gulf View condominiums. Interpret your results.
    6. Assume the branch manager requested estimates of the mean selling price of Gulf View condominiums with a margin of error of $40,000 and the mean selling price of No Gulf View condominiums with a margin of error of $15,000. Using 95% confidence, how large should the sample sizes be for each?
    7. Gulf Real Estate Properties just signed contracts for two new listings: a Gulf View condominium with a list price of $589,000 and a No Gulf View condominium with a list price of $285,000. What is your estimate of the final selling price (based on the percent difference for the sale and list price) and number of days required to sell each of these units?
