Assignment 1: Discussion—Value of Money
Business decisions are based on the time value of money. Bonds, stocks, loans, and other business investments are valued by determining the present value of an expected cash flow, which is also called discounting the cash flow. The time value of money finds considerable application in the decision-making processes of a business.
In this assignment, you will apply the basic principles of the time value of money to business decisions.
Tasks:
Part 1:
You are the chief financial officer of a firm. The firm has an expected liability (cash outflow) of $2 million in ten years at a discount rate of 5%.
Calculate the amount the firm would need on the present date as savings to cover the expected liability.
Calculate the amount the firm would need to set aside at the end of each year for the next ten years to cover the expected liability.
Part 2:
Using the Argosy University online library resources, identify an article that demonstrates the application of time value of money principles to a business decision.
Explain the specific business decision that management made after computing this value. Analyze how management used the concept of the time value of money principles to make this decision.
Analyze factors other than the time value of money that management considered or should have considered in reaching the business decision.

In this project, you will play a stock game using the free virtual stock market trading site “How the Market Works” (http://www.howthemarketworks.com/trading/index.php?src=goog) to practice trading real stocks using imaginary money to learn how the Market works and to gain experience with virtual trading. After you are done with the game, you will produce a paper on your experience.
Please download “How the Market Works”Directions.pdf to learn how to sign up, navigate the “How the Market Works” website and play the game.

Please use the five section themes as level I headings in the paper:
Introduction (Use the title of the paper, not the word introduction.)
The Stocks
Diversification
Risk and Return
Financial Results
Introduction: What the purpose of the project is and what you anticipate learning from it. All research and academic papers should have a purpose statement.
The stocks: Explain the stocks you picked for your portfolio and why. Discuss some of the fundamental financials such as sales, revenue, cash-flow, and income, what attracted you to the company? Think about the various financial statements we discussed (or will discuss) in class: a) income statement; b) balance sheet; c) statement of cash flows; and d) reconciliation of net worth.
A short discussion of diversification: Please begin with a formal definition of diversification and include a citation/reference. Why is diversification important? How did you diversify your portfolio? If you didn’t diversify your portfolio, that’s ok, just tell us why.
Risk and return: Please begin with a formal definition of beta and include a citation/reference Did you choose high or low volatility companies to invest in? I suggest you do some research on Beta (volatility) and how this might or might not have had an influence of your choice of companies in your portfolio.
Financial results: How did your portfolio perform? Did you earn a profit, (we say earn a profit because you took the risk of investing in a particular company) or lose money. Would you pick the same stocks again? Would you purchase these stocks in reality? What did you learn?
The paper should follow APA 6th edition. and should have a cover and reference page.
Paper should be three to five pages excluding cover and reference page in .doc or .docx format.
