Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Action Case Study Walmart. It needs to be at least 750 words.

“Net Sales” was “$405Billion”, operating income was “$24Billion” and employee strength was “8416 workers.” (Financial highlights, 2010, para.1).

Wal-Mart follows strict ethical and moralistic views in business. Its main guidelines are in terms of “Respect for the Individual”, “Service to our Customers and “Striving for Excellence.” (Our 3 basic beliefs, n.d, para.1). From a strictly ethical perspective, the circumventing of audit standards enforced by Mart auditors, Wal-Mart of the Ningbo Belfa Group are indeed reprehensible and was caught on three different occasions by the audit team. Speaks of the utter callousness with which this vendor views audit was caught on three different occasions. violating minimum wage and hours of overtime rules stipulated by the audit team.

While Wal-Mart could hardly be said to be a party in these misfeasance, its strategic alliance with Belfar Group could put it in a spot of real trouble, in terms of being associated with a company with human rights violation record. This could also reflect badly on the business image and reputation of Wal Mart too.

Walmart claims to have over 3800 food outlets in the United States and more than 2600 stores in the rest of the world. It has gained eminence as one of the market leaders in the retail trade and has completed streamline and reinforcement in supply chain management network by deliberating its pricing below competitive prices.

Assume that it costs $32,000 to build a widget factory and that the current cost of capital is 10%. In addition, we sell only one widget per year, with the first sale occurring in the year in which you build the factory. The current cash flow of a widget is $4,000. While we know the current cash flow for widgets, we are uncertain about the future cash flows. Marketing reports indicate that there is a 50% chance that cash flows will go up to $6,000 next period (and remain there forever), however, there is also a 50% chance that cash flows will go down to $2,000 (and remain there forever).

(a)     If you build the factory now, evaluate the project with discounted cash flow analysis, and provide the net present value (NPV) of this investment.   

(b)    Now suppose that you have the option of waiting one year in order to find out whether the cash flow goes up or down. Two different scenarios can occur. The first possibility with a chance of 50% is that one year from now you are informed that the cash flow goes up $6,000 (and remains there forever). The second possibility with a chance of 50% is that one year from now you are informed that the cash flow goes down to $2,000 (and remains there forever).  Calculate the expected NPV of the two scenarios combined.      

(c)     Should the manager commit or wait?  Quantitatively, what is the difference?

Compose a 1750 words assignment on health care financial management: new york downtown hospital. Needs to be plagiarism free! In 1937, the New York Infirmary opened the Strang Cancer Prevention Clinic and in 1969, it formed an affiliation with New York University Medical Center to strengthen the university medical teaching program. This had lead to other structural and administrative reformation. From the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, in 1979, the hospital merged with Beekman Downtown Hospital, which was founded in 1945 as a product of a merger between St. Gregory’s Free Emergency Accident Hospital and Ambulance Station and became New York Infirmary – Beckman Downtown Hospital.

In 1991, New York Infirmary – Beckman Downtown Hospital went through another administrative and organizational change. It consolidated both names into New York Downtown Hospital. Because it was affiliated with New York University Medical Center, New York Infirmary – Beckman Downtown Hospital went through another change in its name to NYU Downtown Hospital.

Mergers and acquisitions are hot (Zweig, 2005). This hospital is not an exception because changing management, changing policy, changing programs (Austin, 2000), and changing procedure, but also brings opportunities (ibid). After the deregulation, Mayor Bloomberg suggested that nonprofit organizations should operate like businesses to raise funds for their operating costs and to make profits. NYU Downtown Hospital begins to raise funds to increase its revenue and to cover its operating costs without fully depending on government funds. Fundraising effort brings the hospital to come in contact with the Lehman Brothers from the Lehman Brothers Foundation who made a substantial contribution to the hospital. In recognition of its donation, the hospital built the Lehman Brothers Emergency Center with a new state-of-the-art emergency facility and whose size is twice its current size and can handle triple the capacity.
