In both your professional and personal life, you will make a variety of decisions. You should consider the financial and nonfinancial aspects while making decisions. To evaluate scenarios, you will also use some tools such as net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), modified internal rate of return (MIRR), payback, discounted payback, and return on investment (ROI) that you have discussed so far.

In this assignment, you will evaluate the financial aspects of making decisions.

Tasks:

Investigate any two of the following four financial decisions:

1) Using net present value calculations, determine which has a higher ROI. Assume the average mileage under both options is 15,000 miles. The car will be sold for its Kelly Blue Book value at the end of ownership or it will be returned to the leasing dealership for no additional lease/return/mileage cost. The automobile being considered is a 4-cyl, 2.5 liter, two-wheel drive, Nissan Rogue sport utility. At the end of the 6 years, the automobile is in very good condition. Tax, title, or license fees are not considered under either option.

• Buying a Nissan Rogue today for $32,000, putting $10,000 down and taking a six-year loan for the rest at 4%

             or

• Leasing the Rogue for 6 years at $360 a month with a down payment of $3,500 due at delivery. The car must be returned at the end of the lease. 15,000 miles per year are allowed under this lease plan.

Show your work and explain your rationale.

2) Commit to buy a vacation home in the climate of your choice, rent the home out when you are not using it, or sign a five-year lease for the home for the two months a year you plan on using it. You will need to make up the numbers for your home for this exercise.

3) A different buy-or-lease alternative—you could buy a home for $300,000, putting 20% down and renting it out at $1,700 a month. Which would make more financial sense? Buying or leasing the home? Explain your rationale.

4)Lease your home for the next three years or sell it with the intent to return to the same geographic area after you complete a three-year expatriate assignment in the country of your choice. Given the facts above, should you lease the house or sell it? The current market value is approximately $320,000. Explain your rationale, and show your work.

For the two options that you selected (and using the figures given above for those options), investigate the realistic assumptions for your location and include the information you found in the analysis. Create a paper in about 1,000–1,200 words, including the following:

• Initial information/approach: purchase price, rebate, down payment, amount to finance, etc.
• Payments formulas and calculations
• Explanation of the financial factors that you are employing in the selected decisions
• Conclusion containing the “best answer” for your personal life on the basis of these financial factors
• Probability of following the recommended “best answer” (assuming that these are the only decision options)

Submission Details:

• By the due date assigned, save your paper as M3_A2_lastname_firstinitial.doc and submit it to the Submissions Area.

This LASA is worth 200 points and will be graded according to the following rubric.

In business, social media communications has become the norm rather than the choice. Social Media communications have stormed the business communicative world with its apparent new channels, terminologies, characters, and formats of communication; unbeknownst to mankind before now. As a result, we are pushed and pulled by multiple, sometime interrelated forces to either comply or be left out. Most, if not all businesses have joined the bandwagon and have restructured their business communication media to comply with the demands of social media. It is no longer a secret that the Internet is here for good, and its various communication channels like: E-mails, Twitter, Texting, Facebook, YouTube, etc. are shifting the paradigms of business communications.

You are to research, analyze, & type a fifteen page business report/essay of your findings on which Social media channels impact business communication in an African nation or a Hispanic nation. Document their impacts on business communication in the international environment. Your written report/essay should be an article for a journal publication in business communication. Document your sources and be consistent with your writing (APA; MLA; etc.) style. The researched article should address but not limited to cultural implications, tones, and traditional norms to online communication. Your paper should address, but should not be limited to, the following information about the nation:

·              Online Business ethics, and cultural traditions online

·              Language styles in both written and online contexts

·              Nonverbal communication: time, metamessages, & readabilities

·              Social interaction: tones, assertiveness, online respect, etc.

In C++ Credit Card Number Check, part 1 (revisiting P4.5). The last digit of a credit card number is the check digit, which protects against transcription errors such as an error in a single digit or switching two digits. The following method is used to verify actual credit card numbers but, for simplicity, we will describe it for numbers with 8 digits instead of 16:

• Starting from the rightmost digit, form the sum of every other digit. For example, if the credit card number is 43589795, then you form the sum: 5 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 23.

• Double each of the digits that were not included in the preceding step. Add all digits of the resulting numbers. For example, with the number given above, doubling the digits, starting with the next-to-last one, yields: 18 18 10 8. Adding all digits in these values yields: 1 + 8 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 0 + 8 = 27.

• Add the sums of the two preceding steps. If the last digit of the result is 0, the number is valid. In our case, 23 + 27 = 50, so the number is valid.

Write a program that implements this algorithm, using the function:

bool isCardValid( int digits[], int size )

that is passed an integer array that separately stores each digit of the credit card number and returns true if the 8-digit credit card number is valid. The user should supply an 8-digit number, and you should print out whether the number is valid or not. HINT: look at digitStripper.cpp.

Example run (with user input indicated with bold italics):

Enter 8-digit credit card # or Q to quit: 43589795

Card is valid.

Enter 8-digit credit card # or Q to quit: 43589796

Card is not valid.

Enter 8-digit credit card # or Q to quit: Q

List’s big three: Need to do something in the constructor, and need to handle all the dynamic memory made when adding nodes.

PushFront: Add a new node as the new first piece of data. Do NOT add anything before Head.

PopFront: Remove the first piece of data if there is one.

Front: Return the first piece of data.

*Back: Those same three, except to the end. Do NOT add anything after Tail.

Size: How many things.

Clear: Remove all data, leave head and tail.

At: Return data at that position. 0 is first data

Erase: Delete the node at this iterator, if it exists

Insert: Insert data after this iterator. Do not allow inserting after tail!

Begin: Iterator to first data

End: Iterator after last data (remember Unspecified Behavior)

Iterator::GetData: Return the T from this node

Iterator::Next: Move iterator to the next node

Iterator::IsEqual: Are these pointing to the same node?
