Investment

A new client, Dr. Bueller, has demonstrated a particular thirst for knowledge of stocks and bonds and has asked that you put together an example of these investments to illustrate how they work.

Calculate the returns on the following investments (include the US$ and percent) to illustrate how they work.

  1. A stock that does not pay a dividend of which you buy 100 shares for $25.00 per share and sell the 100 shares for $27.50 a year later. You pay the $50.00 commission when you sell the securities.
  2. A 5-year bond that you purchase for US$1,000 pays a 6% yearly rate. It is paid semiannually, and you hold the bond until maturity.
  3. The current yield on a bond that is priced at $89 has a 6% coupon.
  4. The yield-to-maturity (YTM) on a 7.25% ($1,000 par value) bond that has 10 years remaining to maturity, currently trading in the market at $825.
  5. The holding period return (HPR) for 1,000 shares of a no-load mutual fund currently selling at a NAV of $11, purchased a year ago at a NAV of $10.50/share, including $300 of distributed investment income dividends and capital gains dividends of $350.

After you have shared some basic information with Dr. Bueller about the different types of investments, he also wants you to explain the differences between the different types of bonds—from investment grade to high yield. Explain the various ratings that bonds can get and explain the two major rating agencies.

Assignment Guidelines

  • your understanding of the knowledge you have acquired in the unit addresses the issue or

    problem and relate to the discipline area you are studying in.

  • Please note that you do not have to come up with the ‘definitive solution’ for the Op Ed, this
  • may form part of Assessment 3. Your tutor is looking for a well-argued view in order to move

    forward on the issue or problem.

  • The Op-Ed is to be no more than 700 words long. The idea is to express your thoughts clearly
  • and concisely and make your argument as directly as you can – just like a journalist or writer.

    Do not assume that this assignment is easy given the word length. The challenge is to

    present a persuasive argument in a concise manner!

  • Although Op-Eds do not usually require referencing, for this academic work, full referencing
  • is required. References do not count in the word limit. (Harvard referencing is a must please)

    And make sure this is a turnitin upload please.

    module 4 rough draft

    Writing the Rough Draft

    As you begin to move beyond your initial outline and summary, your next step will be drafting. Drafting is a very important step in the writing process, but by no means should it be considered the final stage. In it you should focus on putting as much on paper as you can including your Purpose Statement (though it may eventually change), your supporting evidence, and analysis of the evidence. It is less important to worry about having all the correct words and punctuation as it is to work hard to express as much as you can about the topic. When you have completed the Rough Draft, you should be 90% done with the Final Project.

    If it helps, think back to when you drafted your purpose statement in your outline. How has your work up to this point worked toward solving the issue you have identified? What have you unearthed as you have dug into your topic? Addressing similar questions to those from the earlier assignment in your introduction may help you find direction in your draft:

    • What is the problem?
    • When does the problem occur?
    • Who and/or what does it affect?
    • What are the potential solutions for the problem?
    • How can you present the solution(s) in a fair way to your audience, respecting their perspective(s)?

    Your rough draft will consist of the bulk of your proposal’s content, and should include your proposal broken into four sections:

    • Purpose: Indicate the purpose statement and scope of your problem – tell us what you will be solving and why you believe it is an important issue.
    • Problem: Share what the actual problem is and any history that you have regarding it or additional problems that will branch from this initial problem.
    • Solution: Provide what your solution(s) to the problems are, and outline the steps that you think are needed to get to the solution.
    • Conclusion: Wrap it all up and provide a conclusion to the reader. Be sure to engage your reader by applying effective organization, appropriate tone, and clear usage.

    Also, provide a reference page with a minimum of four references properly formatted in APA style. At least two of your references should be scholarly sources. At this stage, the draft should be between 3-to-5 pages plus the reference page. *********rough draft paper should be writen on children and technology: how much is too much****************************

      this serious?

    Week 1 – Assignment: Critique Leadership Theories

    Previous Next

    Instructions

    As a current or future leader, it is important for you to understand how various leadership styles impact organizational culture, employees, and stakeholders. For your Week 1 assignment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation critiquing four leadership styles. Begin by familiarizing yourself with each of the eight theories listed below. Next, choose four theories from the following list to complete this week’s assignment.

    Eight Current Leadership Theories

    • Transformational
    • Transactional
    • Servant
    • Autocratic
    • Democratic
    • Bureaucratic
    • Laissez-Faire
    • Situational

    You will compose four slides for each of the four theories. Organize your discussion of each theory using the sequence below. Remember to repeat this sequence for each theory; your completed assignment will have 16 content slides, excluding the presentation’s title and reference slides.

    • Slide A:
      • Name of Theory
      • Name of Associated Theorist(s)
    • Slide B: Theory Description: 4-6 bullet points
    • Slide C:
      • Potential Benefits to Organizational Culture and Improvement: 2-3 bullet points
      • Potential Drawbacks to Organizational Culture and Improvement: 2-3 bullet points
    • Slide D: One famous leader (and their organization’s name) who exemplifies this type of leadership: 1 Slide (hint: do an Internet search for famous transformational leaders; famous servant leaders, etc.)

    Length: 16 slides, not including cover slide or reference slide

    References: Include a minimum of 4 scholarly resources (at least one for each theory), properly cited within the body of your presentation.

    As you format your presentation, be sure to include effective slide design that incorporates the best practices in NCU’s PowerPoint Tutorial (to view the tutorial, go to the Course Resources module in the table of contents and click on Spotlight on Skills), such as using graphics and short phrases in bulleted lists while saving the full details for the speaker notes. Balance the text with relevant images and graphics that you create or that are copyright free, such as a Creative Commons license (you must still offer attribution even if the image is copyright free).

    Your PowerPoint should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
