TEXTBOOK The Humanities Through the Arts Author: Lee A Jacobus & F. David Martin Publisher: McGraw Hill, Edition: 11th Edition

After reading chapter 2, What is a Work of Art? discuss the following:

Browse through your whole textbook and look at the pictures of paintings. Limit your response to only paintings that are pictured in your textbook. Choose two pictures: one that represents one of your favorite panting, and another that represents one of your least favorite paintings in the textbook.

For this Discussion Board, you will indicate the pictures you have selected and answer the discussion questions based on your choices. Number each of your discussion answers 1 – 4 for your Favorite and 1- 4 for your Least Favorite. Post pictures of your two paintings if possible; if not, post the web links to the paintings you have chosen.

FAVORITE PAINTING

  1. Name your favorite painting from the textbook, the artist, and provide the page number and figure number.
  2. What is it about this painting that attracts you? Is it beautiful, interesting, makes you curious, reminds you of something? Describe what physical observations led you to choose it as your favorite?
  3. What value is communicated through this work of art? What does it say and mean? Is this a value that you ascribe to personally? How?
  4. Is this art? Why or why not? When answering this question, use the “Perception” method for identifying art, rather than the simpler “Conception” method.

LEAST FAVORITE PAINTING

  1. Name your least favorite painting from the textbook, the artist, and provide the page number and figure number.
  2. What is it about this work that repels you? Is it ugly, appears incomplete, or simply uninteresting? Discuss what physical observations led you choose it as your least favorite?
  3. What value (if any) is communicated through this work of art? What does it say and mean? Is this a value that you agree with, or does it offend you? How?
  4. Is this art? Why or why not? When answering this question, use the “Perception” method for identifying art, rather than the simpler “Conception” method.

SECTION 2

After reading chapter 8, Theater, number your discussion topics below 1, 2 and 3 as you answer …

Musical Theater is the focus of our text on pages 216-218 and is also covered in the online lecture 10/Musical Theater material. Carefully read about the contribution of the musical to Theater as a performance genre. Then focus on the information about the musical, Hamilton. After studying the material, respond to the journal prompts. Be sure to number your responses appropriately (1, 2, 3, etc…)

1. Where did the art form of Musical Theatre develop? What are its background influences?

2. Why/How is the musical Hamilton different from other Broadway musicals?

3. Have you seen Hamilton or another musical, either in person or via online viewing? If so, please share its title and where you saw the musical. Do you think that viewing a musical live, rather than on-screen, made or could make a difference in your participation with the work?

4. The elements of drama (remember Aristotle?) are all well developed in musical theater. Pick one element, such as music, spectacle, thought, or character, and give examples of how the director’s choices made that element impactful to the overall performance.  How did the director’s choices cause you to participate more deeply with the performance?

M7A1 Mini Case: Cost of Capital for Hubbard Computer

/in /by

Description

You are in the role of a recently hired member of the Treasury Management Department and have the ability to apply what you learn this module to a “real life” situation.

Upon completion of this mini-case, you will demonstrate your ability to:

Apply the calculations for cost of capital for a company.

Apply the calculations for WACC of a company.

Understand and be able to identify the equity and debt components of a company’s capital structure.

Make an appropriate recommendation based on the facts presented.

Minicase: Cost of capital for Hubbard Computer, Inc.

You have recently moved to the US and have been hired as a finance executive by Hubbard Computer, Inc. (HCI), in its relatively new treasury management department. HCI was founded eight years ago by Bob Hubbard and currently operates 74 stores in the southeast of the country. The company is privately owned by Bob and his family, and it had sales of $97 million last year.

 HCI primarily sells to customers who shop in the stores. Customers come to the store and talk with a sales representative. The sales representative assists the customer in determining the type of computer and peripherals that are necessary for the individual customer’s computing needs. After the order is taken, the customer pays for the order immediately, and the computer is made to fill the order. Delivery of the computer averages 15 days, and it is guaranteed in 30 days.

 HCI’s growth to date has come from its profits. When the company had sufficient capital, it would open a new store. Other than scouting locations, relatively little formal analysis has been used in its capital budgeting process. Bob has just read about capital budgeting techniques and has recruited you to bring your finance skills to assist in the development of the company.

 The company has never before attempted to determine its cost of capital and, as your first task, Bob would like you to perform the analysis. Because the company is privately owned, it is difficult to determine the cost of equity for the company. Bob wants you to use the pure play approach to estimate the cost of capital for HCI, and he has chosen Dell as a representative company. The following questions will lead you through the steps to calculate this estimate.

<www.sec.gov>. Go to the SEC website; follow the ‘Search for Company Filings’ link and the ‘Companies & Other Filers’ link; enter ‘Dell Inc.’; and search for SEC filings made by Dell. Find the most recent 10Q or 10K, and download the form. Look on the Balance Sheet to find the book value of debt and the book value of equity. If you look further down the report, you should find a section titled ‘Long-term Debt and Interest Rate Risk Management’ that will provide a breakdown of Dell’s long-term debt.

2

To estimate the cost of equity for Dell, go to <finance.yahoo.com> and enter the ticker symbol DELL. Follow the links to answer the following questions: What is the most recent stock price listed for Dell? What is the market value of equity, or market capitalisation? How many shares of stock does Dell have outstanding? What is the most recent annual dividend? Can you use the dividend discount model in this case? What is the beta for Dell? Now go back to <finance.yahoo.com> and follow the ‘Bonds’ link. What is the yield on three-month Treasury bills? Using the historical market risk premium, what is the cost of equity for Dell using CAPM?

3

You now need to calculate the cost of debt for Dell. Go to <www.finra.org/marketdata> ,enter Dell as the company, and find the yield to maturity for each of Dell’s bonds. What is the weighted average cost of debt for Dell using the book value weights and using the market value weights? Does it make a difference in this case if you use book value weights or market value weights?

4

You now have all the necessary information to calculate the weighted average cost of capital for Dell. Calculate this using book value weights and market value weights, assuming Dell has a 35 per cent marginal tax rate. Which number is more relevant?

5

You used Dell as a pure play company to estimate the cost of capital for HCI. Are there any potential problems with this approach in this situation?
