 Describe the main points discussed in the Seminar.  Review of the remainder of the points earned in this course, including the due dates for final assignments.  Unit 5: The time value of money and the effect of inflation o Home buying, interest rates, and possible idea that there are not many tax incentives in this area  Unit 6: Strategies to avoid political risk and the concept that many business move out of those countries going through political turmoil.  Include sub-topics and/or subsequent classroom discussion from the entire Seminar.  Dr. Dale invited discussion about our companies we are tracking during this course. o Michelle reports that Amazon expects an 11.5% in total revenue this year and stock price is expected to increase. o Raven reports Colombia Sportswear is expecting an 8% loss, after three years of growth and inclement weather is causing severe supply chain issues. o For my own company, ExxonMobil, it appears to be experiencing some growing pains through the merger of Pioneer Natural Gas Company and Exxon. The stock price is slightly decreasing in the short-term; however, the long-term look reveals an overall growth of the share value. Today, February 2 nd , Exxon released an 8-K form to inform shareholders of the results of 4Q23.  The investor relations data sheet notes a 16,4% decrease in net income from Q3 to Q4 of 2023 and the number of common shares outstanding remained virtually the same. I think Exxon is working on finding the well-balanced number of shares available. Leadership wants to avoid too many shares, which can cause the price to decrease. Too little of shares available would lead to higher share prices, but could price buyers out of the option.  Include points found of interest about the unit content and/or any additional reflections or questions about the unit content.  The student debt issue and President Biden announcing student debt relief is an issue close to my family. My mother went to school decades ago and was paying $500 a month to pay off her $30k loan. She called the loan company a year ago and they

reported that her loans had been forgiven and she would actually receive some payments back to her account. The final balance, when it was forgiven, was over $90k, even after decade of small, but frequent payments.  I am not sure the answer to the student debt problem is to accept losses on many accounts. I am glad that my mother’s account was cleared, but as Dr. Dale stated, this program to forgive these loans is an expenditure and the debt will need to be repaid somewhere else. Does that come from higher taxes? Should the U.S. leadership cut spending in other programs to afford this? I don’t have the right answer, but I do feel that nothing is free. It will come back around in some form.
