HW 3: Working with TranslationsAs we have seen in class, translators often select different works, images and comparisons when they work on a source text. As a result, translations differ considerably from one another, often revealing biases and cultural norms of the person who is translating.For this assignment, you will be working on an ancient Greek poet named Sappho and her verse addressed to the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. To understand the poems, you will need some background information. I have downloaded two videos on the poet Sappho for you to watch, but you will also need to find one or two more before you can complete the exercise (See Contents in BB; scroll down to the end). One additional YouTube video that I recommend is Queen of Lesbos: the Poetess Sappho which is part of the History of Sex series. However, you may prefer watching other dramatizations or recitations).Do the following:* Watch at least four short videos on the poet or her verse.* Summarize the two additional videos that you found. Give the complete name and include a short paragraph of summary.* Read the poems on pages 100-101 (There are actually two poems and one prose translation).* Make a list of at least ten differences that you find between “Beautiful-throned, immortal Aphrodite” and “Prayer to my lady of Paphos.”* In both poems, a lover named Sappho is asking the Goddess for help since the lover is distraught over the fact that their beloved has caused them pain and suffering. They are asking the Goddess for some relief because they feel abandoned. Aphrodite asks them what has happened. However, in one poem the beloved is identified by “he/him” while in the more recent translation, the beloved is “she/her.” Given what you now know about the poet, discuss why the pronouns differ.* Finally, in a short essay, discuss if the poem’s meaning is radically different if the pronouns are different. Sappho Hymn to Aphrodite Sappho Biography

Airvalue Airways Strategic Planning

Airvalue Airways is a regional carrier whose strategy is to expand gradually as they can identify routes that offer an attractive return on the investment necessary to support successful coverage of the route.  As part of this expansion, the company is planning to buy a new plane in the upcoming fiscal year. The purchasing department has narrowed the choice down to two models.  One is the A220 which is manufactured in Europe.  The other plane is the G435 which is built in the United States.  The two aircraft have similar profiles. However, the locally-built G435 is significantly more expensive to purchase.The A220 has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $90 million and its use will produce net operating cash inflows of $30 million per year. The G435 has a life of 10 years, will cost $128 million, and its use will produce net operating cash inflows of $25 million per year.  Airvalue plans to serve the route for 10 years. When they need to purchase a new A220 at the end of five years, the cost will be $115 million net after allowing for salvage value of the used plane.  Net operating cash inflows will remain at $30 million throughout the second five years.  At the end of 10 years, salvage value of the G435 and of the second A220 are expected to be about the same at approximately $500,000 each.As the company’s CFO you are to provide the financial analysis that will be considered by the strategic planning executive committee during evaluation of this expansion alternative.  Your plan is to use a capital budgeting approach to the analysis in order to best assure that the decision will result in maximization of wealth for the company’s stockholders.  You also want to convert the entire committee to the concept that capital budgeting should be used as the main tool for the financial analysis of capital expenditure alternatives.The company uses the historical difference in returns between the S&P 500 and the Treasury bond rates of 7% as their estimated market risk premium.   The current yield to maturity on a 10-year Treasury bond is 6.2%.  Airvalue Airways’ common-stock equity beta is estimated as 1.40.Airvalue’s capital structure is 58% common stock, 32% preferred stock and 10% long-term debt.  An 8.8% after tax cost of debt has been determined and the cost of preferred stock is 12%.Your task is to:To complete this assignment, you must submit a 6-8 page paper that addresses the seven elements of the task as listed above and exhibits your calculations of the cost of common stock, the weighted average cost of capital, and the NPV for each plane along with an explanation of the calculations.The paper must be submitted as a Word document and it must follow APA style guidelines.
