Assessing the political, legal, and economic business environment is an important activity as the accurate evaluation of these factors can have an impact on business decisions and the resulting outcome. In this Assignment you have the opportunity to apply research into these areas to apply it to summarize a recommended course of action to management.
As owner of an American-based t-shirt distribution business, you have an opportunity to acquire a competing t-shirt manufacturing facility based in China. The acquisition price is below book value. After completing some marketing research, you must make a recommendation to your management team in favor of acquisition or against acquisition based on your assessment of the political, legal, and economic climate in China.
Checklist:
Describe any political risks associated with this offer.
Describe any economic risks associated with this offer.
Summarize and explain your recommendation to management.

Explain the steps and the main task(s) that must be completed in the new product development process.

/in /by

New Product Development:
Just as there are processes for innovation, there are also processes for new product development. The new product development process involves taking a product from conception to market. Specifically, this process usually has a series of stages that a new product typically goes through—beginning with ideation and concept generation, to the product’s introduction to the market. Products follow a product lifecycle, so new product development plays a significant role in the success of a company.
This week, you will look at the new product development process. The new product development process is focused on developing systematic methods to guide all the processes involved in getting a new product to market. These processes help reduce the new product failure rate. The new product failure rate is referred to as the percent of new products actually introduced to the market that fail to meet commercial objectives of the business unit that launched the product. Although some research indicates that 80 percent of consumer products fail, Castellion and Markham (2013) indicate this is an urban myth and state, “the actual product failure rate is around 40%” (p. 976). But even 40 percent is a significant percentage; therefore, an effective new product development process is essential. There is not one single model to use for new product development, and you will find models with different numbers of steps. However, you will find similarities among all of them. It is recommended that you review several of these models before completing this week’s assignment.
Assignment:
Choose a new product from an industry you are familiar with and develop a table in which you include the following:
-Explain the steps and the main task(s) that must be completed
in the new product development process.
-Explain why these steps are important.
-Describe the challenges that are presented in each step.
In addition to the table, make sure to include an introduction, summary, and conclusion.
Support your paper with a minimum of three scholarly/peer-reviewed resources published in the last 5 years. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 3-5 pages not including title page and references
Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

  1. Calculate the value of a fixed rate bond with fifteen years left to maturity, annual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 5.0%, face value of $1,000, and yield-to-maturity of 3.5%. hint: See solution for similar problem in lecture presentation on Bonds. Should the calculated value be greater than or less than $1,000?
  2. Calculate the value of a fixed rate bond with fifteen years left to maturity, annual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 3.5%, face value of $1,000, and yield-to-maturity of 5%. hint: See solution for similar problem in lecture presentation on Bonds. Should the calculated value be greater than or less than $1,000?
  3. Calculate the value of a fixed rate bond with fifteen years left to maturity, semi-annual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 5.0%, face value of $1,000, and yield-to-maturity of 3.5%. hint: See solution for similar problem in lecture presentation on Bonds. Should the calculated value be greater than or less than $1,000?
  4. What is the yield-to-maturity of a corporate bond that has face value of $1,000, annual coupon payments of $35, is being quoted at 102.5, and has seven years left to maturity? hint: You need to use the Excel RATE function.
  5. Calculate the value of a preferred stock with a fixed annual dividend of $2.45, assuming a discount rate of 9.5%. Solve the problem two different ways: first by using the algebraic formula for a constant dividend preferred stock, then by using the built-in Excel function PV. hint: Use the Preferred Stock example in the posted DDM Excel Examples file as a guide. Feel free to copy the worksheet and make the minor necessary changes to answer this question.
  6. Calculate the value of a stock with an expected annual dividend of $2.00 next year and estimated annual dividend growth of 2% per year indefinitely. Assume a discount rate of 8%. Solve the problem two different ways: first by using the algebraic formula for the Gordon Growth Model, then by using Excel to calculate and sum the dividends and their respective present values for the next 150 years. hint: Use the PV Const Growth Dividend example in the posted DDM Excel Examples file as a guide. Feel free to copy the worksheet and make the minor necessary changes to answer this question.
  7. Calculate the value of a stock with the following expectations for dividend payments: $1.75 in Year 1, $2.00 in Year 2, and then annual dividend growth of 1.5% per year indefinitely. Assume a discount rate of 9%. Solve the problem two different ways: first by using the algebraic formula for the Gordon Growth Model combined with PV of uneven dividend payments, then by using Excel to calculate and sum the dividends and their respective present values for the next 150 years. hint: Use the Uneven, then Const. Growth Div example in the posted DDM Excel Examples file as a guide. Feel free to copy the worksheet and make the minor necessary changes to answer this question.

when referring to particular sentences or passages in the Case Study, you should footnote that and then simply refer to the page number(s). Adding footnotes also leaves the door open to bring in other sources of material should students want to broaden their frames of reference. This is not essential – but there might cases where students want to refer elsewhere when making arguments.
