INSTRUCTIONS: Within the graduate business curriculum, students are expected to research topics and provide linkages between the literature and your topic selection. Professional writing, tone, and grammar is expected and use of a minimum of two sources of literature published in the last 12 months (other than our text) is required in your initial critical assessment post. Active participation in these forums facilitates learning and allows you to critically analyze a chosen topic and learn from your peers within the forum.
Valuation of resources is a key consideration for financial managers. Specifically, when making investment decisions, managers/investors must determine cost and benefits over periods of time to make appropriate decisions for limited resources.
Choose one of the following topics to present to your peers in a professional analysis using a minimum of 350 words.
CHOOSE ONE BELOW
- Net Present Value (NPV) uses valuations of present values of a stream of income to discount to today’s dollars to compare to our investment today. Provide an analysis of the use of NPV within a corporation and prepare an example (with calculations) for how an organization would use NPV in a project decision.
- Within professional sports contracts, contracts are often created to function similar to a bond where players will receive defined cash flows over time. Consider an NFL player (real or fabricated) and explain their contract in terms of TVM and provide an example to explain how these cash flows must be discounted to today’s dollars.
Your critical response should have a minimum of two sources published in the last 12 months which should be used to support the content within the postings, proper in-text citations.
