- Scenario Much like the decision to start a business, the decision to attend college is fraught with risk; however, the risk of entering the job market with only a high school diploma is just as great. As the U.S. transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge, high school graduates are often unable to obtain the number of high-paying jobs that were once available. College graduates earn more-some suggest as a much as 60% more over a lifetime than those without a college degree, and have a lower divorce rate, lower blood pressure and stress levels, and higher rates of job stability and satisfaction. However, a college education may not be the right choice for some. There may be a glut of college-educated workers in our workforce, and many careers, including those in cosmetology, do not require a college degree. The U.S. Department of Labor projects jobs for hairdressers, hairstylists, cosmetologists, and skin care specialists to grow 9-17% through the…arrow_forwardStudents taking the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) were asked about their undergraduate major and intent to pursue their MBA as a full-time or part-time student.

If a student intends to attend classes full-time in pursuit of an MBA degree, what is the probability that the student was an undergraduate engineering major? d. If a student was an undergraduate business major, what is the probability that the student intends to attend classes full-time in pursuit of an MBA degree? e. Let F denote the event that the student intends to attend classes full-time in pursuit of an MBA degree, and let B denote the event that the student was an undergraduate business major.

Michael is currently making $40,000 per year and expects the same for the remainder of his working years (until age 65). If he goes to a business school, he gives up his income for two years and, in addition, pays $20,000 per year for tuition. In return, Michael expects an increase in his salary after his MBA is completed. Suppose that the post-graduation salary increases at a 5% per year and that the discount rate is 8%.

- Fluff Inc., Year 20Y11 You have decided that this university life is not for you. Instead, you have decided to go into the business of selling Fluffs. You decide to operate the business as a corporation, Fluff, Inc. On January 1, 20Y1 you begin with $30,000 cash; $20,000 of the money is yours and $10,000 is borrowed from your Uncle Mike. For the $20,000 of yours, you issue yourself 100 shares of common stock. For the $10,000 borrowed from your uncle, you sign a note agreeing to pay back that amount on December 31, 20Y4 and you will pay interest at 10% at the end of each year. On January 1, 20Y1, you bought 8 Fluffs for $3,000 each. During the year you sold 5 Fluffs for $7,000 each. You also paid a security deposit of $2,000, advertising expense of $4,200 and 12 months' rent of $10,800. In addition to the cash you invested on January 1st, on August 1st you also invest a piece of land that you own into the business that is worth $40,000 in exchange for 200 more shares of stock.

If you choose to remain at your job, your employer would pay you $74k per year until retirement, at age 55. If you go back to the university, you would have to sacrifice 2 years of income, but once you graduate, you would receive $117k per year until you retire at age 55. The master’s program you are interested in costs $22k per year. Note: The term “k” is used to represent thousands (× $1,000). Required: At an opportunity cost of 8%, determine the percentage difference between your most and least profitable alternatives, with the least profitable option as the basis for your calculation.Answer% Intermediate calculations must be rounded to 3 decimal places (at least).

If Sky decides to continue with the business, she wants to emphasize ethics as she believes that is the best long-term approach. Any advice on this aspect of business, and her situation specifically, would be appreciated. Sky wants to rent a small retail space for $2,000 a month. Sky expects that her current sales volume would double in 2023 if she went in this direction. With either the online or storefront approach, Sky would need to invest in new machinery which could either be purchased for $10,000 or leased for $200 a month (5 year lease). The machinery is expected to last five years and Sky expects the usage to be pretty consistently annually but there would be higher usage in the summer months. She is wondering what the appropriate accounting and tax treatment for the machinery would be. If Sky were to purchase the machine outright, she could…arrow_forward
- You have just graduated from the MBA program of a large university, and one of your favorite courses was Todays Entrepreneurs. In fact, you enjoyed it so much you have decided you want to be your own boss. While you were in the masters program, your grandfather died and left you 1 million to do with as you please. You are not an inventor, and you do not have a trade skill that you can market; however, you have decided that you would like to purchase at least one established franchise in the fast-foods area, maybe two (if profitable). The problem is that you have never been one to stay with any project for too long, so you figure that your time frame is 3 years. After 3 years you will go on to something else. You have narrowed your selection down to two choices: (1) Franchise L. Lisas Soups, Salads Stuff, and (2) Franchise S, Sams Fabulous Fried Chicken. The net cash flows that follow include the price you would receive for selling the franchise in Year 3 and the forecast of how each franchise will do over the 3-year period. Franchise Ls cash flows will start off slowly but will increase rather quickly as people become more health-conscious, while Franchise Ss cash flows will start off high but will trail off as other chicken competitors enter the marketplace and as people become more health-conscious and avoid fried foods. Franchise L serves breakfast and lunch, whereas Franchise S serves only dinner, so it is possible for you to invest in both franchises. You see these franchises as perfect complements to one another: You could attract both the lunch and dinner crowds and the health-conscious and not-so-health-conscious crowds without the franchises directly competing against one another. Here are the net cash flows (in thousands of dollars): Depreciation, salvage values, net working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. You also have made subjective risk assessments of each franchise and concluded that both franchises have risk characteristics that require a return of 10%. You must now determine whether one or both of the franchises should be accepted. a. What is capital budgeting?arrow_forwardquestion 17arrow_forwardRefer image for questionarrow_forward
