Valuation (PowerWater Beverages, Inc. case)

/in /by

Read PowerWater Beverages, Inc. case (Attached)

Based on the information you find in the case material and the techniques you have learned in this course, please provided a pre-money valuation and a post-money valuation for PowerWater Beverages, Inc. You must tell me the techniques you will use up front, show your initial calculations, and explain your findings.

Understand that the addition of a chunk of money into any company’s account immediately makes it more valuable. If we value Google at $1 billion and then we throw $1 million dollars into their bank account, then the value of Google has immediately increased by $1 million. Similarly, growing businesses are valued at a pre-money valuation in order to establish most of the deal terms and the post-money valuation becomes the pre-money valuation plus the amount of money invested in the company. It is important to establish both numbers and understand which number you are discussing when negotiating with an investor.

For this assignment, you must use multiple techniques to establish a valuation for PowerWater Beverages (each technique will give you a different valuation), decide how much to weigh the result of each technique, and establish a final pre and post-money valuation.

Grading

Pre-money valuation and explanation – 5 points

Discussion : Annotated Bibliography-Employee Retention

In each week of this course, you will research and select three (3) peer-reviewed, scholarly sources to develop an annotated bibliography that you can use in your Doctoral Study. You will need to take the three sources and synthesize the references into a single narrative annotated bibliography that compares/contrasts or supports your study. For example, you may develop three references that will fit into the Nature of the Study (or any other component) and then the synthesized version will help you in developing your Prospectus/Proposal. Please see this week’s Learning Resources for the Sample Annotated Bibliography Template, which you should use to complete your annotated bibliography.

By Day 3

Small Business Employee Retention Strategies

Post your synthesized annotated bibliography narrative that includes an explanation of how these references relate to one or more components of your Doctoral Study and incorporates specific references to the Doctoral Study Rubric.

Refer to the Week 1 Discussion 2 Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.

Put yourself into the time of the American Revolution

Imagine that you are selected as the screenwriter and star for a new Back to the Future film. You will be going back to the time of the American Revolution, and to the era of Industrialism, Realism, and Nationalism. You will write a short narrative of your adventures. This can be written as an essay, play, or short story. However, if you select a creative writing approach, be sure that you still meet the requirements to use and cite a source, and to fulfill the assignment elements in Part I and Part II.

Part I: First, put yourself into the time of the American Revolution. What role would you play in the events – for example, a leader, a rebel, a supporter, an artist? You get to decide. How will you respond to the American Revolutionary efforts?

You must highlight one event in the American Revolution and explain the reasons for your response to them. Be specific about the event, introduce it using the text, and then discuss your expectations for how you might react to this event. Give detail to set the scene, reflect what you have learned about the American Revolution, and reflect on some of the differences between our time and the Revolutionary Era.

Part II: Finally, move into the time of Industrialization. Which role might you hold in this time period? Perhaps you would be a Realist author, a photographer, or an Industrialist.

You must highlight one event in this era and explain the reasons for your response to them. Be specific about the event, introduce it using the text, and then discuss your expectations for how you might react. Give detail to set the scene, reflect what you have learned about this period of time, and reflect on some of the differences between our time and the era of early Industrialization.

You are required to use and cite the textbook as a source. You may want to use and cite other research as well.

The Assignment should be at least 500 words. You may follow the Assignment template in Doc Sharing. Follow the formatting guidelines put forth in the APA style of writing, and structure your thoughts in essay format – introductory paragraph and thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. Submit the project to the Dropbox when it is complete.

Forum posts are graded on timeliness, relevance, knowledge of the weekly readings, and the quality of original ideas. Sources utilized to support answers are to be cited in accordance with the APA writing style by providing a general parenthetical citation (reference the author, year and page number) within your post, as well as an adjoining reference list. Refer to grading rubric for additional details concerning grading criteria.

Respond to Johnny:

A divided loyalty exists post 9/11 for American Law Enforcement for various reasons to include the idea that America already had a developed feared for the Military, Police, and Law Enforcement in general. Additionally post 9/11 and the Patriot Act would grant Law Enforcement the additional power to better conduct intelligence gathering operations to combat terrorism and better promote national security. According to Brown, compared to the increased crime and national security threat the additional power to law enforcement and the police was perceived as the lesser evil coupled by the idea that for nearly two centuries America has seen repressive criminal laws, abuse of governmental authority, and infringement on citizens’ rights that have been headlining public media (Brown, 2011). Without debate the attacks on 9/11 forced a change in law enforcement and national security due to fear and panic of the public as the United States have not had an attack of that magnitude since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The drafting and implementation of the Patriot Act come about to provide law enforcement the additional powers to conduct intelligence gathering operations which where some would consider a loop hole for government surveillance or spying on private citizens through legal means (Cassady, 2011). 9/11 has indeed changed the legislation to provide additional police powers with regards to national security however viewing the divided loyalty is a completely different story as people come from different backgrounds and mindsets on law enforcement so the judgement maybe biased and based on opinion and personal experiences from ones past. As an example many family members of law enforcement officers would say that the government should be able to look at anyone anytime for homeland security reasons however there is still a right to privacy which many believe are being infringed on. I believe that there should be a reasonable suspension and a warrant required to conduct surveillance on an individual as everyone should have due process prior to being “surveilled” based on our constitutional rights.

Brown goes on to talk about the significant expansion of physical police powers which are deemed as a militarization in America has not gone unnoticed while additionally creating an idea that normalizing the use of military style tactics within law enforcement has become the norm (Brown, 2011). Law Enforcement has seen much of its changes to answer to the challengers that arise from the national threat and requirements of homeland security. Also taking into account with the bigger cities such as Ferguson, MO who drawn national attention to the concern of militarization of law enforcement with the problem being amplified based on the support that policy makers are giving to law enforcement as far as funding and legislation (Fox, Moule, & Parry, 2018). Major cities such as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Los Angeles all have a high population and concentration of people per square foot which would sound reasonable for military tactics, equipment, and training may benefit its local police departments as far as emergency response to violent protests. While I do not completely disagree with the militarization of law enforcement but I can agree they are pushing the boundaries in responsibilities in which the National Guard should be responsible for.

Current Event Research Paper

/in /by

One of the best things about studying securities regulation is that the topic is in the news every

day. Every day a new company chooses to go public, another executive at a public company is

charged with violating anti-fraud provisions, or another public company is investigated for

attempting to bribe foreign government officials. The current event research paper assignment

asks that you choose one current event relevant to any of the topics we will study this semester,

and write a research paper describing what happened, the relevant law, and the significance of the

story for the industry, the company, the law, and/or you.

How to choose your current event:

The current event must have been in the news within the last six months. To find a topic of

interest, start reading the financial and business news now. You might also visit the SEC’s

website for press releases, or some of the many blogs on securities regulation, white-collar crime,

or corruption. You can also follow the SEC on Twitter. Once you find a news story, you will

research it more deeply, including the relevant law. Your story does not have to be a case that has

gone to court already. It can be an investigation, a proposed new rule or regulation, or any other

story that implicates the legal issues we discuss in class.

What to include in your paper:

[Revised 09.02.2019] PAGE 5

a detailed description of the current event

a detailed discussion of the relevant law – explain the law from the very beginning, as if your reader

knows nothing about the topic; this is how you demonstrate your understanding of the law

an analysis of the current event – Why is it important to the industry? What companies will care about

this news story? What will its impact be? Who will win? Why? You can choose to answer any or all of

these questions (or any other question). The goal is to demonstrate meaningful application of law to facts,

and deep thinking about the issues presented by the news story

Logistics:

7-8 pages, single spaced

Citation required anytime what you just wrote down did not originate in your brain

The paper should be prepared using the APA writing style and guideline for references’ format. You must

provide a bibliography, and all direct quotations and data sources must be properly cited.

The Department uses the APA style to facilitate reading the paper and understanding references without

being as cumbersome as some other citation styles (such as Chicago or MLA).

Students can download the student style guide from the American Psychological Association

(http://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html) web site or you can purchase the APA style guide from the book

store. There is even a help disk that can be purchased for about $ 40 (http://www.apa.org/software/) that

will walk you through the process as you write the paper if you desire a more “personal assistance”.

Papers are to be RESEARCH PAPERS. Remember that work that you use from other authors MUST be

referenced. Since it is assumed that you are not an authority on the topic that you are writing, it is

expected that this paper is an overview of many different sources of information. Each of these must be

attributed to the author using the APA format.

This is your paper and not the cut and paste of someone else’s work. The internet has led to a false sense

of what research is all about. Those new to research tend to think that it means spending an afternoon

surfing the internet and then an afternoon cutting from material available.

Keep in mind that the Internet: (1) is not quality oriented as it has good materials and not so good

materials, and does not know the difference; (2) is NOT a sole source location. In particular, sources such

as Wikipedia are the works of individual submitters which are not reviewed. Thus while many entries

provide excellent information, some are fundamentally flawed or just plain wrong.

Keep in mind that the Boston University Library as well as your local, state and the national US Library

of Congress have extensive online services. USE THEM.
