The final project is designed to test your competency in Business Principles 1301. Throughout the semester you have learned general business concepts including business formations (Starting and Growing a Business) and the ability to decide the best business formation for your type of business. You also learned the importance of creating an entity that limits liability to your personal assets. You were introduced to different management styles and the various tiers of management (Managing for Quality/Competitiveness). You were also exposed to how to utilize your human resources to advance your business and why ethics and social responsibility matters to a company (Creating the Human Resources Advantage). Marketing principles and techniques including digital marketing were presented as demonstrations of obtaining customers to grow a business (Marketing: Developing Relationships). You were also introduced to the idea borderless business ideas and how you can have an international presence from a desktop (Business in a Changing World). You received general information about financing a business from its inception and the need for generating capital to operate and grow (Financing the Enterprise). You will use all of these concepts to deliver a proposal for a capital investment from an investor. The proposal will make a direct capital investment request for funds to improve and grow your business.
You currently have a “Designer Sock” business organized as a “Sole Proprietorship” in a storefront located next to a designer sneaker shop. You thought it was a good business decision to open next to the sneaker shop because you both appeal to the same audience and you could draw from their established customer base. The sneaker shop has been in this location for over 10 years. Based on your sound business research you decided to use your life’s saving of $19,578.40 to make your dream a reality. You procured a lease on the spot, a 1000 square foot storefront. The lease was a 1- year term at a rental rate of $1000 monthly. The deposit was hefty because you lacked commercial rental references and therefore it required a deposit of $3000. Hence, your initial rental start-up cost $4000. You recognized that the annual rental amount represented about 60% of your overall capital investment but you believed the loss would be offset by the reduced marketing needed from the draw on the sneaker store customers. Storefronts come with additional up front and monthly costs including lights, water and electricity for the store. The collective set up costs for utilities and deposits for those commercial services were an additional $1000.
Regarding inventory, you thought it best at the time to carry limited inventory. Your strategy for inventory was to purchase 2 of each styles of sock, one for display and one for sale. You set your computer to immediately reorder when a style was purchased. You purchased 1000 socks which included 500 different styles at 5.20 per pair wholesale. The total cost for start up inventory was $5,200.00. Your projection was to sell 1000 pairs of socks a month at $16.00 per pair which would generate $16,000 in revenue a month. Additionally, you had to purchase displays, a cash-register, a counter, setting, mirrors, a vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies for the store. The total cost for the additional start-up items was $1200.
Since you elected to have a “Sole Proprietorship” you decided it would be more profitable to go it alone. You worked 12 hours a day Monday – Saturday and rested on Sunday. Since you have no employees, you do all of the work yourself. You order stock, stock shelves, arrange the socks on displays, answer calls, ship orders, book-keeping, help customers and clean the store daily. You conducted marketing campaigns via social media marketing and did flyers for the sneaker shops nearby.
You pioneered this unique sock concept as you had never even gone into a store that only sold socks. There was a lot of buzz about the idea on social media. Everyone agreed that you had an unique niche product and was hopeful for your success. There was a cost to advertise via social media. You reached 500 people for every $50 you invested. You see the need to reach at least 5000 people per month to become more profitable.
Your family was so proud of you that they helped with the “Grand Opening”. Your mother, father, sister and brother told everyone they knew about your success and insisted that they all join in on the opening celebration. The marketing for the opening celebration total $571 for the experience. You invited the mayor for a ribbon cutting ceremony and all the local businesses and residence. They were all very excited and promised to support your business.
You have been open now for 12 months and you are assessing your level of success and how you might better reach your targeted goals moving forward. You have now operated for a full calendar year and have been able to ascertain some pat

Comments from Customer
The correct discipline is business analytic

Using finance.yahoo.com
Find the most recent dividend for AT&T and Microsoft.
Find their history of dividends to determine the average annual growth rate in dividends over the last 10 years.
Using the constant dividend growth model, find the required rate of return using their current price. (Make sure you adjust quarterly to annual dividends before putting in the constant dividend growth model).
Comment on your findings. Do they make sense? What should you do based on your calculations assuming they are correct?

You already have my and my group logbook from a previous group logbook assignment we have done with you (Eco-scan app). I’m not sure if its relates to this or is a completely different assignment. But just letting u know.

Part I: The Simulation
Begin in the YEAR 1 row. Roll a 6-sided die, or use a random number generator limited from 1 to 6 (here: Roll a Die, here: Random, or elsewhere)
As you go through the steps in YEAR 1, record the values you are working with under the TRACKING section toward the bottom of the spreadsheet. For example:
Start in YEAR 1, Step 1. Let’s say you roll the die and get a 3. That means you have $20,000 in cash saved for a down payment for a house. Record that value in the TRACKING area, next to the row recording “YEAR 1” under the “Total Cash (savings)” column.
Then go to Step 2, and roll the die to find the average market value (the cost of the house you will try to purchase), and then write that value in the TRACKING area under step 2. So, if you rolled a 4 this time, you’d type “$400,000” into the Step 2 box in TRACKING, still in YEAR 1.
Go on from there and do the same thing in each column until you get to a choice where you choose (or are forced) to return to the beginning “HOUSE HUNTING,” except this time you follow the rows that say “YEAR 2+” and do what they instruct you. Each time you start your house hunting over again, you go back to YEAR 2+ and follow those directions. You start with the cash you already have, roll the die and, for example, you get roll a 2 this time. This means you would ADD that 2 value ($10,000) to the original Step 1 cash value you had (for example, $20,000) and you’d write that total ($30,000) in the YEAR 2 row in the TRACKING area.
Proceed from step to step until you manage to buy a home. You must have enough cash savings to pay for the down payment and closing costs, as well as any repair bills from the Home Inspection Report (covering the total purchase cost) or you have to start HOUSE HUNTING over again (in the next year). You must also have enough monthly income to cover the mortgage costs, or the sale will also fall through and you’ll have to start again.
Part II: The Analysis
Once you’ve run through the home-buying process a few times and managed to actually buy a home, write the story of your experience. What helped? What setbacks did you face? What freak problems appeared?
Follow up by analyzing this process more generally in a second paragraph, addressing other things you noticed. What surprised you? Was it difficult to get through to actually buy the home? What did you learn about homebuying from this? What’s your plan for purchasing a home? Do you have to buy a home?

In your response to two peers, address the following:
What are some similarities and differences between your strategies both internally and externally?
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for improving their feedback loops?
See Original post Order ID 570777376
Respond to peer separately in one paragraph each.
