As a business consultant hired by senior organizational leadership at CapraTek, the fictional design and manufacturing company you read about last week, slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes that will be presented to the General Manager, Manager of Information Technology, and Marketing Manager at the kickoff meeting for an organizational efficiency planning session. Highlight areas where various leaders will need to coordinate to ensure their plans are aligned with the same organizational goals and objectives that you develop.

Start the presentation with the 3-minute elevator pitch you created for this week's discussion. In this pitch, you want to send a clear message about the importance of business planning. You should explain the importance of organizational goals and objectives to grow a business and include key performance indicator (KPI) targets that should be considered by corporate leaders when developing their strategic plans. The script for your elevator pitch should be in the speaker notes of the first slide after your cover slide.

The remainder of the presentation should address the following:

The business planning process. Key components for a business plan, technology plan, and marketing plan. Best practices for creation of a business plan that aligns to organizational goals. Inclusion of a business planning model and an illustration of the model. How the planning process applies to key business support functions for leadership, information technology, and marketing management. Your presentation should use bullet for each slide and include in the speaker notes APA citations for resources used. The last slide of your PowerPoint presentation should be a reference list.

Your sister has just won $300,000 (tax-free) in the state lottery. She's decided to quit her job and devote herself to writing novels for the next ten years, using her lottery winnings to support herself. She figures that she will need $30,000 of income at the start of the coming year; $31,000 at the start of next year; $32,000 for the third year; and so on. In order to meet these expenses, she plans to invest her lottery winnings all at once, in bonds. If she finds that she has extra cash in any year (including the first), she plans to place it in her savings account, which pays 3 percent annual interest, but she does not want to purchase any additional bonds in the future.

At the start of the coming year, bonds with one-, three-, five-, and 10-year maturities will become available on the market. If a bond matures in k years, it pays $100 at the end of each of k years, as well $1,000 at the end of the kth year. Currently, one-year bond sells for $1,075, three-year bonds for $1,100, five-year bonds for $1,200, and 10-year bonds for $1,300. Your sister wants to make sure that the income from her investments will provide for her living expenses year by year. She has asked you to advise her on how many bonds to purchase and has offered to give you any funds left over at the end of the 10-year period.

a) Assume that you wish to maximize the amount of money available to you at the end of 10 years. How many of each type of bond should your sister purchase? (Assume that these bonds can be purchased in fractional amounts, as part of an investment pool.)

b) How much money will be available to you at the end of 10-years?

c) Suppose you investigate other savings bank and find that interest rates higher than 3 percent are available. What is the minimum interest rate that would alter which of the four types of bonds your sister should buy

[2:01 AM, 10/22/2021] Flo: Alberto runs a small but very successful coffee shop inside a busy mall in Peterborough. His wife and he run this coffee shop 7 days a week from 11 am to 8 pm. Other shop owners at the mall love their coffee and have become loyal customers of their business. Sonia, who runs a chain of flower shops in several malls, including theirs, have approached them with an idea to expand their business to other malls in the area. She claims to have a lot of connections with financial intermediaries who may be able to help fund the expansion. In fact, she promises to share with Alberto, the financial information and business proposal prepared by one of her competitors who successfully applied for a loan few months ago. According to her, she is best friends with Caroline who is working for a local bank as a manager and can help them get the required amount even without any documentation. She is asking for a promise to pay 5% of the loan amount to her as "fees" for her services.
