The 18th-century French writer known as Voltaire has been quoted as having said, “No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.”

When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it?

This assignment asks you to apply a six-step problem-solving process to a specific problem scenario.

Instructions
You will write a paper that presents a synthesis of your ideas about solving the problem using this systematic approach.

Review the six-step problem-solving process outlined in the webtext.
Read the article, The Problem-Solving Process.
Write a 4–5 page paper in which you:
Define the problem in the scenario that you chose in the Week 7 assignment, Problem-Solving: Part 1.
Analyze the problem in the scenario.
Generate options for solving the problem in the scenario.
Evaluate the options for solving the problem.
Decide on the best option for solving the problem.
Explain how you will implement the chosen solution and reflect on whether this option was the most effective.
The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
Address the main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
Use the Strayer Library to find at least five academic resources.
Use four sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

 Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project.

/in /by

Mitch Plc, a UK-based smart phone manufacturer, is considering adding a new model of smart phones to its current production line. The success of the new model depends on general market conditions. Mitch’s current share price is £100.
If the conditions are good, the revenues from the project are estimated to be £30 million a year for 5 years, starting a year from now, and the share price will be £150. On the other hand, if the conditions are bad, the revenues are expected to be £5 million a year for the first 3 years, and £2 million for the remaining 2 years of the project, and the share price will be £50. The initial cost of the project is £50 million. The risk-free rate is 10%.
Required

  1. a)  Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project.
  2. b)  Mitch’s CEO thinks that the project is too risky and wants to wait for a year and only

invest in the project if the conditions are good. Assume that, if the decision is delayed, the project’s cash flows and its time duration will not change but the positive cash flows will start in 2 years’ time. Also, assume that Mitch’s competitors are not ready to produce a similar smart phone model within the next 12 months.

Calculate

  1. the NPV of the project if the CEO’s proposal is accepted
  2. the value of the option to delay the project.
  3. c) Calculate the price of a call option on Mitch’s stock that expires in one year’s time, with an exercise price of £100, and show all your workings, using
  4. Risk-neutral binomial valuation approach and
  5. Tracking portfolio (no arbitrage) approach.
  6. d) Mitch’s CEO is considering increasing the firm’s leverage from 20% to 30%. Briefly discuss how the market is expected to react to this decision, and why.

1. Pretend for the moment that you are an insulin responsive glucose transporter, GLUT4, who lives in skeletal muscle. Provide a detailed description of what happens to you starting from the moment that insulin binds to its receptor at the plasma membrane, how the insulin signal gets to you, what you do in response to the insulin signal (i.e., where, how and why do you move) and what happens to you following the removal of insulin from the receptor.

2. You recently received your supplement of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (MSSE) which contains all of the abstracts for the upcoming ACSM convention. One of the free communication sessions on carbohydrate metabolism has a presentation entitled, “Exercise, obesity and insulin-resistant skeletal muscle: A questionable relationship”. As you read the abstract you find that the speaker will be indicating that obesity/high fat diet does not lead to skeletal muscle insulin-resistance and will also be presenting that exercise training does not have any positive effects on improving skeletal muscle insulin-resistance. Moreover, you have learned that the full manuscript of this presentation will be published in an upcoming issue of MSSE. What are you going to do?
Here’s an idea. Why don’t you prepare a letter to the editor of this journal to voice your opinion. Your letter should be well organized and persuasive in order to convince the editor to not publish this article. Be sure to include in the body of your letter (but not necessarily in this order): 1) how exercise training improves insulin action in skeletal muscle, and 2) the relationship/cause of obesity/high fat feeding to skeletal muscle insulin-resistance

3. Resistance training results in a substantial remodeling of skeletal muscle.
Provide a description of the regulation of gene expression that occurs in response to resistance training that results in skeletal muscle hypertrophy and discuss how you believe that resistance training should be performed to optimize this process of gene expression.

Write a Diversity and Inclusion Essay.

Your essay needs to meet the following criteria.
• At least 1500 words in length. This word count does not count your Works Cited section.
