Coverage by of the news is not carried out by any monolithic organization that gets to decide what is, and is not, the correct way to report the news. Today perhaps more than ever, the editorial or opinion piece of the news is more apparent and widespread than it had been in the decades before cable news, 24-hour-news cycles, and the rise of the Internet as a news source. This does not necessarily mean that the news has become any less impartial, simply that news organizations are more conscious of markets and demographics, the people they are trying to attract, than ever before.
For your assignment this week, find two articles that address the same issue produced by two different news sources (this cannot be the same AP story published by different sources). In 1-2 pages, provide a summary of what message each writer is trying to get across, and provide a brief compare and contrast analysis of the two pieces. Explain which piece you feel is more effective and why. Be sure to include links for each article in your assignment.

Please read the assigned case and then solve the following questions below:
Question 1) Estimate the value of Walmart’s stock. In order to do this, utilize the following techniques:
•a Constant Growth Dividend Discount Model analysis (referred to as “Dividends in Perpetuity†in the case);
•a two stage Dividend Discount Model (i.e. a faster dividend growth rate over the next five years followed by a slower growth rate forever) and
•a P/E multiple analysis
CAPM or Cost of Equity is 7.01%
Question 2) What are the main risks associated with the price estimates derived from the DDM methodologies and from the P/E multiple methodology? (2 pages double space)
3. Would you rate Walmart as a buy, sell or hold at that time for an investor with a three-year investment horizon? (1 page double space with reasoning and recommendation)
Additional Notes from The Professor
Estimate the value of Walmart’s stock (i.e., your best guess of what price their stock should be trading at), as of February 2010. Your estimate should be based solely on the numbers provided in the case, and using the techniques discussed in the case, which have also been discussed in class and in the text. Use the techniques listed on the following slide to do this analysis
Please note that what the case refers to on Page 3 as the “Use of Dividends and a Terminal Value” is the same as what we discussed in class where you have a multi-stage growth DDM. In the case, the “Terminal Value” is calculated using the “Pt” part of the equation we discussed. That is, it’s the expected Price of the stock at a year in the future (the “terminal yearâ€) where from that point on the dividend is growing at a constant rate forever into the future. One must then discount this back to “today.â€
Choose any one of the readings assigned prior to October 3rd on the course syllabus and write a critical evaluation essay of it using the strategies we have discussed in class. You must directly engage with the text you choose in formulating your evaluation. This means you will have to make use of direct quotations from and references to the text you discuss. Use the latest MLA Style Guide for formatting both the citations within your paper (in-text/parenthetical citations) and your “works cited†page at the end of your paper. The course text, Emerging, is the only text you should be referencing for this paper. Consult the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (Purdue OWL) website for detailed help with all aspects of proper MLA style formatting:http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Due Date:
Due as a Microsoft Word file attachment in Canvas by Tuesday, October 3rd at 11:59pm
Determination of Grades:
Papers receiving a final grade in the “A†range will be, simply put, exemplary. That is, they will be well written in maintaining coherence from point-to-point, sentence-to-sentence, paragraph-to-paragraph. The “A†paper will have rare to no grammatical errors in spelling, punctuation, and the like. In my experience, conferencing with me about drafts of your paper before the due date make achieving this more likely.
Papers receiving a final grade in the “B†range will be, for lack of a better word, good. They will be generally well written but have some minor issues with maintaining coherence, stating and supporting ideas, and making transitions from one idea to another. In addition, the “B†paper will have some infrequent grammatical errors.
Papers receiving a final grade in the “C†range will be simply adequate. They will display some inconsistency in supporting their ideas and maintaining coherence throughout, and will have more frequent grammatical errors while still being of good enough writing quality to make their points discernible.
Papers receiving a final grade of “D†will be of the required length, but have significant enough issues in the areas described above to make their overall points indiscernible due to inconsistency and poor writing.
Failing papers will be those not meeting the minimum requirements of the assignment as laid out in this prompt.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeBody Sections • State the claim that your body section will try to prove. (The author’s methods “roadmapped†in your introduction each serve as claims you’ll try to prove in each body section. So if your introduction “roadmaps†four methods you will analyze in demonstrating whether or not the author effectively achieves their purpose, that means your paper will have four body sections.) • Provide a quotation / example from the essay that you believe shows the author effectively or ineffectively using the method you claim he / she is using. • Give your analysis of specifically how / why the quotation you give demonstrates whether or not the author’s method effectively achieves their purpose for the essay. Demonstrating how your analysis of the author’s particular method in this body section relates back to your introduction’s thesis concerning the author’s overall effectiveness in achieving their essay’s purpose should be a major part of your analysis. • Provide a transition to the next body section. (Your last body section should transition to your paper’s conclusion.)view longer description |

A mathematical model for the Future Value of a savings account earning interest that is compounded continuously is given by the equation FV = Pert, where FV is the amount after t years, P is the principal amount invested at t = 0, and the principal is assumed to grow continuously at a rate, r.
How many years will it take the principal to triple if the annual rate is 12%? Please explain how you arrived at your answer. Thanks!
Although the Wellness and Recreation Center is a great space to engage in activities and work on physical fitness, some issues the center face as a business are generating
funds and making money to keep the center up and running. Each year they try to get the
basketball courts refinished due to always welcoming the community and having high school
students and camps come to the center. The managers are fighting to expand the wellness center and focus on customers’ demand for high quality due to the students complaints of not feeling motivated going to the gym because the workout equipment is either old, broken, or they have low supplies so students have to wait for somebody to be done with the utilities so they can use it. Referring back to chapter 1 “Customer Focused for High Quality” the organization needs to become more customer focused by meeting changing product and service demand, and exceed customers’ expectations of high quality (abc, 2016). The wellness center can meet these standards by staying updated on the latest equipment so students can feel inspired to use the exercise room and having a high demand of the workout gear.
Other issues the wellness center face is motivating the staff members. The manager feels as though his employees lack accountability, he wants his staff to be motivated and want to come into work instead of tracking them down and forcing them to work and stay on task. According to Chapter 4” The ABC Model of an Attitude”, employee’s attitude towards a job affects their behavioral intent and cognition (abc, 2016). Some employee behavior the managers have been through are constant call outs of work last minute, not showing up to work at all, when they do attend they are lazy and do not fulfill the obligations that are required.
From the student’s perspective since they are full time students and work full time at the wellness and recreation center, it is a lot of pressure fulfilling all the obligations at work especially if their grades are poor and they are focused on passing their classes. Their work performance may lack based on personal issues and can cause invalidity. So when it’s time for a performance appraisal which is the evaluation of a person’s performance by the manager, their personal issues affect their overall role. Also student employees feel as though they do not get rewards or acknowledgement to motivated them to perform better at work. They want to feel valued and expect rewards for the effort they put into working at the wellness after a long day of class. The lack of rewards causes lack of motivation and goal performance setting within employees.
Managers want the campus to understand they have resources
for students, staff, and the rest of the community that other colleges don’t have to offer and feel as though us students do not take advantage of all of them such as physical fitness challenges, personal training, mental health, etc. When they host engaging activities majority of the students do not show up so its just a waste of time and effort. The managers want to do their part in building a better facility for the community but they also want us to do our part in participating and interacting at the wellness and recreation center.
