This Assessment considers a Capital Proposal Case Study to add a specialized nurse triage center, an offsite center that would be staffed by registered nurses with a multitude of specialties, including emergency department (ED) nurses, critical care, surgical, and even some nurse practitioners. These nurses are able to offer callers medical advice encompassing the treatment of fevers, wound care, and emergent conditions, such as chest pain. The nurses are trained to triage conditions to the appropriate level of care, be that at home, at an urgent care center, or at the ED.
This assessment has three-parts. Click each of the items below to complete this assessment.
Part I: Analyze Organizational Financial Data
For this part of the Final Assessment, you will conduct a 5-year analysis of Jiranna Healthcare’s outpatient operational and financial data in order to determine whether or not the capital project is an attractive project. Refer to “Jiranna Finances” for financial statements to analyze.
Prepare a 2- to 3-page financial analysis including a supporting Excel spreadsheet to show your work. The focus must be on the content and the depth of your analysis. Unless otherwise indicated, a 5-year trend analysis is expected.
Complete your analysis as follows:
Calculate the 5-year net sales, operating expenses, operating income, and net income of Jiranna Healthcare. Once the calculations are complete, interpret the resulting data and explain the significance of the trend results.
Calculate the 5-year total profit margin, asset turnover, return on assets, and return on net worth. Once the calculations are complete, interpret the resulting data and determine the company’s profitability.
Calculate the 5-year current ratio, day’s cash on hand, and working capital. Once the calculations are complete, interpret the resulting data and assess the company’s liquidity.
Calculate the 5-year debt ratio and times interest earned ratio. Once the calculations are complete, interpret the resulting data and explain the company’s long-term solvency.
Complete a DuPont analysis for each of the five most recent years. Once calculations are complete, interpret the resulting data and determine the company’s individual DuPont characteristics (e.g., total margin, total asset turnover & equity multiplier) and trends across the analysis period.
Ultimately a decision has to be made. Would you recommend the capital project to Jiranna Healthcare? Explain the rationale for your decision.
Part II: Conduct an Operating Indicator Evaluation
For the next part of the Final Assessment, you are expected to complete a number of calculations, and then interpret the numbers to provide recommendations based on these analyses. It is essential both to show your work and calculation using current technology like Excel Workbook, and to demonstrate how these calculations support your conclusions. Be sure to explain your reasoning. You will be assessed on the accuracy of your quantitative analyses and the quality of the evidence you use to support your conclusions.
Imagine that you are an administrator at Jiranna Healthcare who has been asked to analyze cash-flow data to determine the costs and benefits of implementing a new capital project. For background, read “Capital Project Case Study.” Then, complete the “Capital Project Case Study Spreadsheet”, which provides cash-flow data (costs and benefits) for the proposal. Download and save the Excel spreadsheet in your working Excel Workbook, and use the information provided to complete the following:
Calculate the cash inflows and outflows for each year.
Evaluate the capital project by calculating the following metrics:
Net present value (NPV)
Internal rate of return (IRR)
Modified internal rate of return (MIRR)
Payback period
Discounted payback period
In a 1- to 2-page report including a supporting Excel spreadsheet to show your work, provide your recommendation with rationale, as to whether the project is acceptable, assuming Jiranna Healthcare has a corporate policy of not accepting projects that take more than 3.5 years to pay for themselves, and assuming an 11% cost of capital.
Part III: Conducting a Budgeting Evaluation
You are an administrator at Jiranna Healthcare. You have been asked to conduct a budget variance analysis: analyzing performance by comparing budgeted workload, revenue, and expenses for a range of different service lines, with actual workload, revenue, and expenses for those service lines.
Open the document “Variance Analysis Case Study,” where you will find data on the expenses, revenue, and outpatient product lines at Jiranna Healthcare.
Analyze the data and prepare a 3- to 4-page report including a supporting Excel spreadsheet to show your work. In your report, address each of the five following questions. In each case, show the calculations that you conducted to answer the question. Then, explain your conclusion and how your calculations support your reasoning.
What was Jiranna’s original profit forecast (assume away any issues with depreciation, taxes, etc.)? Halfway through the fiscal year, what is the hospital’s revised projection for FY21 profits?
Which outpatient service lines are over budget? Which outpatient service lines are over budget after accounting for workload increases?
What two actions would you recommend be taken at the mid-year point if you oversaw a fee-for-service healthcare organization? In other words, where are the problem areas on which you would focus your attention, and who might provide ideas for “best practices” based on their performance?
What two actions would you recommend be taken at the mid-year point if you oversaw a capitated healthcare organization? In this case, the revenue spreadsheet would be replaced with an overall budget of $50 million with which to operate (rather than being able to bill for each episode of patient care). Federal, state, county, and city healthcare organization normally operate under a capped budget. Additionally, many HMOs also operate under a fixed per member, per month (PMPM) capitated process.

Goal of Decision – What is the overall goal and why?
Decision Statement
Purpose, Scope, and Perspective – How did you frame this statement?
Four Objectives – Of the 6, why these?
Alternatives and how they met your objectives. Were these your original alternatives or were there class discussions that brought forth new ideas?
Your decision matrices (weighted and unweighted) and how you chose to weight each criterion.
Your final decision – Assessing the Decision Process, which is where Harry will state the final decision and how it fulfills HH’s objectives by examining the MDQ process in how that final decision was derived.
May I suggest that you revise and submit your paper with all the required content by May 6, 2024, at 11:59 PM?

Essay details:
Everyone has heard it before: “Don’t ask for permission, ask for forgiveness”. Breaking the rules has long been associated with innovation and entrepreneurship. However, recent scandals around e.g. Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) or Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX) have demonstrated that there are obvious lines as to how far you can go as an entrepreneur/company. Please discuss how companies and/or entrepreneurs can manage to balance the upside and downside of rule-breaking. Use peer-reviewed papers for your argumentation.

You will identify a high-profile cross-border acquisition of a publicly traded target initiated by a publicly traded acquirer in the last two years. Ensure that the deal is concluded as of the date of your analysis. You should research to answer the following questions:
My Choice of Cross-border acquisition is Philip Morris Holland Holdings B.V. acquiring Swedish Match AB.
However, if you have other Cross-Border M&A for which you think you can find more information easily, please let me know so we may make appropriate changes.
1. Describe the deal, the acquirer, and the target characteristics.
2. Discuss the strategic logic of the transaction; what are the drivers of the transaction (e.g., technology acquisition, market access, growth, etc.); analyze the deal using 10C canvas Standalone and Joint Business Designs.
3. What is the offer price? What is the premium over the target’s pre-announcement price? You can use various reference frames such as one-day prior, one-month prior price, etc. [In SP Capital IQ, look for “Consideration” for the details]
4. How did the acquirer justify this premium? You should search media reports, newspaper articles, or earnings calls for executive and analyst testimonies and other clues regarding the price and premium paid.
5. Briefly discuss the payment method and evaluate its impact on the transaction.
6. Would you invest in the acquirer’s stock? Briefly describe your rationale and link it to your discussion in question 2
7. Reflect on your learning experience in this assignment.

A contemporary and critical overview looking at internationalisation decision-making related to adaptation/standardisation of products/services and strategies.

This assignment and grading rubric are based on the SPOT framework (Situation, Problem, Opportunity, Tactic).
In this reflection paper you will identify a situation, problem, or opportunity related to your work with the Audio Partners case. Once identified, you will then recommend a tactic to address the situation, problem or opportunity. At this stage in the program, you may not yet have an appropriate tactic to fix or address the issue, but don’t let that stop you from pointing it out. As you progress through the program you may eventually find the right tactic to address it. This is to be 6 pages long and no AI content along with an introduction, conclusion and an
Here are definitions that can help you with the differences between situations, problems and opportunities:
Situation: a state of affairs that cannot be defined immediately as either good or bad but requires attention
Problem: a matter or situation regarded as requiring immediate attention as it is unwelcome and will cause harm if not dealt with.
Opportunity: a set of circumstances that make it possible to do something
For this reflection paper a Tactic is defined as an action or strategy planned to achieve a desired end.
The story implies a number of situations, problems, and opportunities that echo issues encountered.
As you read the story, it will become clear that the founders need competent business advice to transform their concept from an idea into a viable business plan—one with a high likelihood of operational viability, attractiveness to investors, and sustainable competitive success. You are to be that advisor.
Your ability to integrate recommendations across disciplines— spotting connections and dependencies—will increase as you move through the MBA core classes, and especially as you refine your fluency with strategic thinking, critical thinking, and systems. However, integrating your recommendations across disciplines is not required for this assignment. Rather, focus on the role examined in your course.
Depending on the content of your course, then, once you SPOT an issue you may need to either:
Define the issue as it relates to the course you are in. In this case Operations and Supply Chain Management. Is it a situation, a problem or opportunity?
If you have a tactic or strategy for what you spotted, you can then develop a recommended action. If you do not, move on to the next SPOT.
