This is my case study

It has to be in APA format with references.

Thank you

Finance case study.

You have to do the CASE 1: WARREN BUFFETT from attachment. The case is in page 54 to 73.

In this case, you are going to do a qualitative evaluation of the decision to acquire PacifiCorp. You don’t have to do any calculations, but use the all the data and numbers given in the exhibits. Your case report should include analysis and answers to the following:

1.What is the possible meaning of the changes in stock price for Berkshire Hathaway and Scottish Power plc on the day of the acquisition announcement? Specifically, what does the $2.55 billion gain in Berkshire’s market value of equity imply about the intrinsic value of PacifiCorp?

2.Based on the multiples for comparable regulated utilities, what is the range of possible values for PacifiCorp? What questions might you have about this range?

3.Assess the bid for PacifiCorp. How does it compare with the firm’s intrinsic value? As an alternative, the instructor could suggest that students perform a simple discounted cash-flow (DCF) analysis.

4.How well has Berkshire Hathaway performed? How well has it performed in the aggregate? What about its investment in MidAmerican Energy Holdings?

5.What is your assessment of Berkshire’s investments in Buffett’s Big Four: American Express, Coca-Cola, Gillette, and Wells Fargo?

6.From Warren Buffett’s perspective, what is the intrinsic value? Why is it accorded such importance? How is it estimated? What are the alternatives to intrinsic value? Why does Buffett reject them?

7.Critically assess Buffett’s investment philosophy. Be prepared to identify points where you agree and disagree with him.

8.Should Berkshire Hathaway’s shareholders endorse the acquisition of PacifiCorp?

Be sure to read the case very carefully. Read all footnotes, endnotes, tables, exhibits, etc. This requirement applies to all case studies. Try to determine what all the numbers are telling you about the valuation of the company and the purchase price.

Conditions; the case report I recommend you use the following general format.

1.Introduction: (a) to the case (b) the problem or situation (c) the people involved (when applicable). This should be a few paragraphs (as needed).

2.Analysis: Most cases will require both quantitative and qualitative analysis. You must show step by step, all formulas used, and all calculations performed. If you like, some of the details can be moved to the appendix. Spreadsheets should be uploaded as separate documents. It is not enough just to do the number crunching. You must explain and interpret all your analysis.

3.Conclusions: Some cases require you to make recommendations. You will have to justify them with the appropriate arguments and calculations. You can also write here any additional things you recommend the company should do or look at.

the case must be your own work, and the work must be 5 pages with single space

CONCLUSION

In a market economy, your opinions count when you cast your dollar “votes” for the goods and services you like best. You express your demand for a product when you are willing and able to purchase it. When someone is willing to pay for a product—the higher the pay, the more you are willing to supply. Supply is the amount of production. When the supply satisfies the demand, the situation is called the equilibrium, and variables such as price and quantity will remain unchanged unless something happens to disturb the system.

Please read the attached document ” Leadership vs. management ” than write a two part personal story where you been Leader and a manager or you been involved in such situation. Mack sure to define each of Leadership and Management and include the skills that you reed in attached document in the stories. For example you once had to mange a small store or you were the leader in a lab group or sport team?
