Write a 1 page essay on Managerial Applications of Technology (Virtual Workforce) 2.

Technology is also the backbone of virtual working because it provides applications and appliances that enable such endeavors.

Using remote workers can bring flexibility to a business organization as it will not have to depend on the state of their premises or the accessibility of their premises. Virtual employees do not need any physical office, making the financially advantageous to an organization. Due to fact that virtual employees have no geographical restriction on where they are supposed to work they sometime have higher productivity as compared to the physically available ones (Marquez, 2008). For example, virtual workers do not have to spend time travelling to the offices. The disadvantages of using virtual include the fact that monitoring them is usually a hard task. It is also hard in bringing them to be part of collective efforts by the other members of the workforce.

Good strategies can help an organization in minimizing the disadvantages and maximizing the advantages of using virtual workforce. In hiring virtual workers a company should make sure that they hire self-motivated and self-disciplined individuals (Gillis, 2003). There should also be frequent and meaningful communication between an organization and their virtual employees. This will be important in monitoring their progress. Giving virtual employee targets to meet after a given duration will help in making sure that they are able to maximize their contribution to the organization.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Rolling Stones the Gangster in the Huddle. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

The storyline illustrates that these factors led to his dalliance with guns, inability to entangle him from the gang culture and subsequently, violence. In the end, this proves to be the main catalyst in a process whose end is the fall of a young and immensely gifted athlete’s from grace. The overall purpose is to demonstrate that a lifestyle on the fast lane, characterized by debauchery and little regard to consequences of one’s actions, is incompatible with sustained success on the sports field. The overall message to the audience is that the athlete, in this case, is a prisoner of his own past. The choices he makes lead to sad consequences. As the story progresses, the writer employs logos in an apparent attempt at convincing the audience that Aaron bears liability for the murder of Odin Lloyd.

The first paragraph describes Aaron, in the company of Odin, as engaging in “five-star debauch” in the days prior to Odin’s demise. In successive paragraphs, there is the focus on the athlete’s involvement in substance abuse, gang culture, and club fights. The third paragraph states that he was using a drug described as “maniacal angel dust” and had already formed an association with a “crew of gangsters”. The writer also points to eyewitness reports describing assailants fitting Aaron’s character at a crime scene. The audience is gradually prepared for Odin’s execution through the description of the athlete’s lifestyle. The writer creates the impression of a paranoid man living on the edge. The article states that Aaron sucker-punched a waiter leaving him with a damaged eardrum.

1. You were hired as a consultant to Keys Company, and you were provided with the following data:  Target capital structure:  40% debt, 10% preferred, and 50% common equity.  The after-tax cost of debt is 4.00%, the cost of preferred is 7.50%, and the cost of retained earnings is 11.50%.  The firm will not be issuing any new stock.  What is the firm’s WACC? 7.55% 7.73%7.94%8.10%8.32%2.  Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupon that is paid quarterly.  The bond currently sells for $900.90, and the company’s tax rate is 40%.  What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation?5.40%5.73%5.98%        6.09%6.24% 3.  Tapley Inc. recently hired you as a consultant to estimate the company’s WACC.  You have obtained the following information.  (1)  Tapley’s bonds mature in 25 years, have a 7.5% annual coupon, a par value of $1,000, and a market price of $936.49.  (2) The company’s tax rate is 40%. (3) The risk-free rate is 6.0%, the market risk premium is 5.0%, and the stock’s beta is 1.5.   (4) The target capital structure consists of 30% debt and 70% equity.  Tapley uses the CAPM to estimate the cost of equity, and it does not expect to have to issue any new common stock.  What is its WACC? 9.89%10.01%10.3510.64%10.91%4.  Wagner Inc estimates that its average-risk projects have a WACC of 10%, its below-average risk projects have a WACC of 8%, and its above-average risk projects have a WACC of 12%.  Which of the following projects (A, B, and C) should the company accept?Project A is of average risk and has a return of 9%.Project B is of below-average risk and has a return of 8.5%.Project C is of above-average risk and has a return of 11%.None of the projects should be accepted.All of the projects should be accepted.5.  The Nunnally Company has equal amounts of low-risk, average-risk, and high-risk projects.  Nunnally estimates that its overall WACC is 12%.  The CFO believes that this is the correct WACC for the company’s average-risk projects, but that a lower rate should be used for lower risk projects and a higher rate for higher risk projects.  However, the CEO argues that, even though the company’s projects have different risks, the WACC used to evaluate each project should be the same because the company obtains capital for all projects from the same sources. If the CEO’s opinion is followed, what is likely to happen over time?The company will take on too many low-risk projects and reject too many high-risk projects.The company will take on too many high-risk projects and reject too many low-risk projects.Things will generally even out over time, and, therefore, the firm’s risk should remain constant over time.The company’s overall WACC should decrease over time because its stock price should be increasing.  The CEO’s recommendation would maximize the firm’s intrinsic value.6.  Percy Motors has a target capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity, with no preferred stock.  The yield to maturity on the company’s outstanding bonds is 9 percent, and its tax rate is 40 percent.  Percy’s CFO estimates that the company’s WACC is 9.96 percent.  What is Percy’s cost of common equity?7.  The earnings, dividends, and common stock price of Carpetto Technologies Inc. are expected to grow at 7 percent per year in the future.  Carpetto’s common stock sells for $23 per share, its last dividend was $2.00, and it will pay a dividend of $2.14 at the end of the current year.Using the DCF approach, what is the cost of common equity?8.
