with low P/E ratios. She explains that these firms are likely to be out of
favor with investors because they have a low price relative to their current

Share repurchases have grown significantly over the past decade or
two. In fact, a recent radio commentator suggested that the current rise in share
prices (both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones averages are trading at historic
highs as of this writing) is due not to superior company performance, but to
the increased volume of money flowing into the stock market from corporate
share repurchases. Does this sound like a valid explanation for an increase in
share prices? Why or why not?

FIN 650 Grand Canyon Week 1 Benchmark Case study
Corporate Governance
Over the past few years, the number of start-up companies
attracted to either doing business themselves in the cloud, or specifically
creating applications for others to use in the cloud, has grown significantly.
A few but very promising enterprises have launched applications in “container”
technology, which enables companies, programmers, or other enterprises to both
launch and run applications solely in the cloud.
There is still a lot of room in this emerging marketplace, and you
are diving in. The product you’ve developed has a unique angle to tap into the
local-grown/local-made/local-paid movement that’s also growing larger every
day. Your initial market is your own small city, which operates independently
but which is linked economically and via public safety provision to another
small city sitting directly across a river separating the two. Once you’ve been
able to launch your company in your city, you plan to approach the “sister city”
leaders, then the county, state, and eventually go national. It’s too soon now,
but your future plans entail an IPO offering to accomplish all this.
Eventually, you hope to be able to re-imagine your product to go global. You
have big plans, are close to being tapped out financially and you now need to
plan for additional investors.
Address the following considerations as they apply to your product
launch.
1. Describe an agency relationship and how it may/will take shape
for your small company. As the sole employee and investor in your startup, what
agency conflicts might arise?
2. Six months have transpired, and you’ve been able to add two
employees. In this new arrangement, what agency disputes might now develop that
need to be addressed, and how might you address them? What resources do you
need to use or consider?
3. Another three months have passed. You are now ready to expand
to your sister city and you need more capital. You decide the wisest path is to
sell some stock to outside investors, but you will maintain control over your
company by holding onto the majority of the stock. In this new scenario, what
type of agency conflict might occur? How can you address this in advance?
4. The IPO was a success, and you have a robust number of
shareholders. With board support, you determine it is time to hire a financial
manager to help your firm achieve current goals and set new ones appropriate to
the firm’s growth strategy. What professional strengths and skills will an
individual seeking this position need to possess?
5. Another consideration you feel you need to address at this
point, now that your firm’s stock is publicly traded, is how to sustain the
high ethical standards you’ve fostered thus far as you move into the firm’s
future. What strategies can your management team implement to conduct your
business with both personal and professional integrity? What steps can you take
to ensure that ethical considerations for financial and other management
decisions are embedded into the firm’s culture?
6. Congratulations – you are now at Year One, and everything is
moving along faster than you anticipated. While this is great, you are at the
point where you need to raise additional capital from outside lenders. With
this decision, what type of agency costs might the company incur? How might a
lender mitigate any agency costs?
7. Year Two rolls around. Your company has been able to expand
beyond your local communities and into to localities and governments in half
the counties of the state. The stakes are getting bigger and you welcome the
idea of high-level input to ensure the company keeps growing and expanding. You
cash out the majority of your stock and turn the company over to an elected
board of directors. Neither you nor any other stockholders own a controlling
interest (which is also the situation at most public companies). List six
potential managerial behaviors the new board might take that could harm your
company’s value, and what steps overall can put into place to avoid or mitigate
these.
8. You are also aware from your prior career and from your
research, that corporate governance can affect shareholder value. This greatly
concerns you, as you still have lofty plans for your company’s growth and
eventual global trajectory. Questions you’ve identified that need to be
addressed at this stage include: a) What is corporate governance?; b) What five
corporate governance provisions are internal to a firm and are under its
control?; c) What characteristics of the board of directors usually lead to
effective corporate governance?; d) What characteristics of the board of
directors signal ineffective or problematic governance practices?; e) How can
regulatory agencies and legal systems affect corporate governance? If there are
differences in local versus national levels, expand upon these.
9. Lastly, one of your new board members is very concerned with
“blockholders.” What is block ownership? How does it affect corporate
governance? Explain the pros and cons.

FIN 650 Grand Canyon Week 2 Assignment
Financial Analysis and Proposal Component 1
Throughout this course, you will prepare a comprehensive financial
analysis and proposal (excluding tables, figures, and addenda) that will
demonstrate your understanding of key financial concepts, strategies, and
practices. After selecting a company to profile, you will construct a
comparative financial analysis of your selected company’s financial position
with that of a prime competitor, for example, Amazon and Netflix, Microsoft and
Oracle, or Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Following the nine-step
assessment process detailed inAssessing a Company’s Future Financial Health,
your financial analysis and proposal will be composed of four separate
component assignments in Topics 2, 4, 6, and 8.
Financial Analysis and Proposal Assignment: Overall
In this topic, you will select a publicly-traded company and a chief
competitor and submit both names to the instructor for approval by the end of
the topic.Note: You will need to have this step finalized before you can
complete the assignment detailed below, so it is in your best interest to
select and obtain approval as soon as possible.
In your selection process, consider only a company and competitor
that are both publicly-traded and which enjoy extensive analytical coverage to
ensure access to sufficient financial data to complete this four-part
assignment successfully.
As you develop your analysis, research the market at each step for
relevant data on your chosen company/competitor, including financial reports
and market information. Disclose all assumptions you set forth (e.g., revenue
growth projections, expense controls) and provide supporting rationale and
quantifiable evidence behind those assumptions. As your financial analysis and
proposal develops over the span of the course, you will synthesize the
analytical and research data and outcomes of the nine-step assessment process
in order to assess 1) the long-term financial health of the chosen company, and
2) the suitability in recommending the company (versus the competitor) as a
long-term investment opportunity.
Financial Analysis and Proposal Component 1: Analysis of the
Fundamentals
For this assignment, apply the first two steps of the nine-step
assessment process detailed in Assessing a Company’s Future Financial
Health(i.e., Step 1: Strategy and Step 2: Revenue Outlook) to compose a
comprehensive overview of the company/competitor pairing you’ve selected and
which has been approved by your course instructor. Use the “Analysis of the
Fundamentals” resource provided in the topic materials to present your findings
as per below:
1. Using the most recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) 10-K reports for your company and chosen competitor, provide a brief yet
succinct comparative analysis for a) the business overall, b) products and
services, c) customers, d) goals, e) strategies, f) market positions, g)
general risk factors, h) quantitative and qualitative market risk factors, i)
competitors, j) competitive technology, k) regulatory considerations, and l)
operating characteristics. Use the “Analysis of the Fundamentals” resource
provided in the topic materials to present your findings.
2. Download most recent annual financial statements for your company and
chosen competitor (i.e., balance sheets, income statements, and statement of
cash flows
