Chapter 14 – How to Motivate Your Prospect to Action

The art of motivating a prospect to accept your recommendations has far more to do with your relationship skills and listening ability than it does with issues of product or price. Earning a prospect’s confidence does not occur in a single moment nor is it created with a clever phrase or a glib presentation, but instead is built on a solid foundation of trust and rapport.

Build Trendsetter’s Post-Series B capitalization table for the case Series A was financed by Mega Fund, and the price per share at Series B is $0.40. What’s the Series B conversion price? What’s the Series B conversion rate?

/in /by

Venture Capital assignment

You must build the capitalization tables for Alpha and Mega’s Series A financing and their payoff. Now, Trendsetter goes into a second round of financing, and Series A holders may be diluted. Analyze the company’s capitalization at Series B according to the protection provisions on Series A’s Term Sheet.

Suppose on a second round of financing, Trendsetter issues 6 million Series B convertible preferred shares, and the first round was financed by Mega Fund and not by Alpha Ventures’ syndicate.

Read the following extract from Mega Fund Term Sheets’ Antidilution Provisions paragraph #4. Notice the type of anti-dilution protection depends on the future round of financing’s price per share:

Anti dilution Provisions: The Series A Preferred shall have weighted average antidilution rights on issuances of shares at a price less than 100% and greater than 50% of the Series A Purchase Price (except for the issuance of the Reserved Shares); provided if new shares are issued at a price less than or equal to 50% of the Series A Purchase Price then the adjustment will be full ratchet; provided, however, that with respect to a Designated Financing, this ratchet adjustment shall be made only if the holder of Series A Preferred invests its Pro Rata Share.

Answer the following questions on the Assignment 8 quiz (link below):

Build Trendsetter’s Post-Series B capitalization table for the case Series A was financed by Mega Fund, and the price per share at Series B is $0.40.
What’s the Series B conversion price?
What’s the Series B conversion rate?

Build Trendsetter’s Post-Series B capitalization table for the case Series A was financed by Mega Fund, and the price per share at Series B is $0.80.
What’s the Series B conversion price?
What’s the Series B conversion rate?

Build Trendsetter’s Post-Series B capitalization table for the case Series A was financed by Mega Fund, and the price per share at Series B is $1.50.
What’s the Series B conversion price?
What’s the Series B conversion rate?

Tip: In this case, the number of shares issued for Series B is fixed at 6 million. Therefore, the investment amount in Series B will depend on the price per share.

Write a brief posting (250 – 350 words) in which you discuss one difference and one similarity in the treatment of religion in the play Raja Edepus from Indonesia and Kutiyattam: Sanskrit Theatre from India. What is common ground and what is different?

Writing a discussion about plays and articles — 250-350 words

Consider the videos and articles you have just digested. Each culture has distinct characteristics, and yet there are similarities as well. Write a brief posting (250 – 350 words) in which you discuss one difference and one similarity in the treatment of religion in the play Raja Edepus from Indonesia and Kutiyattam: Sanskrit Theatre from India. What is common ground and what is different?

A DISAPPEARING NUMBER IS NOT AN INDIAN PLAY. It is an English play that has Indian characters in the cast, and the location of the play is partly in England and partly in India.  Please do not refer to this play in your writing as an example of Indian theatre.

  • The first video I couldn’t find any link online because it is offered only in the school library but here is the title of the Play: Raja Edepus, adapted from Oedipus Tyrannos by Sophocles Performed at the Bali Arts Festival in July 2006.

All derivatives are based on the random performance of something. Identify and discuss this word “something.”

/in /by

Finance 405

All derivatives are based on the random performance of something. Identify and discuss this word “something.”

You are required to reply to at least two peer answers. These post replies must need to be substantial and constructive.

 

Classmates answer:

1-haya alnaimi

The word “something” defines the underlying protection, security or asset on which the derivative depends. The derivative is the financial tool or technology which derives its value from the protection or security and underlying asset such as a commodity, stock, currency, index, or bond.
The underlying asset’s performance is a significant feature in defining the value of the derivative. The call option’s value depends on the underlying stock’s price. If the stock price goes up, the value of the call option increases, and if the stock price goes down, the call option’s value decreases.
Though, it is worth noting that not all derivatives are based on random performance. For example, some of the derivatives, such as futures contracts, are based on the expected future price of an asset rather than its random performance. In this case, the price of the derivative is determined by market expectations about the future price of the underlying asset.
Overall, while the underlying asset may not always have a random performance, it is true that the underlying asset’s performance plays a significant role in determining the value of most derivatives (Baxter & Rennie, 1996).

Response:

 

2-hadeel aldowsari :

Because each derivative is reliant on the unknowable outcomes of something else, the term “derivative” accurately describes the nature of these financial instruments. The success of another asset is directly proportional to how much value the derivative will have. When discussing this “something else,” it is customary practice to refer to it as the underlying asset.

Yet, the word “underlying asset” could lead one to the wrong conclusion. A few examples of underlying assets include commodities, currencies, commodities, and stocks and bonds.

On the other hand, the underlying “asset” can be something completely random, like the state of the weather. It is possible that the instrument in question is a futures contract, an option, or some other sort of derivative.

Problem Set: Meta modeling Polynomial Regression

HW3-1: (30 points) For the design problem of the hollowed circular beam (shown below),

  • a. Create a three-level factorial design matrix in HiPPO and map to the real ranges for R = [0.02 to 0.2] m and t = [0.001, 0.01] m. Show your design matrix including both the normalized and real design variables along with the function values of M, G, and V for each design in your design matrix.
  • b. Create the quadratic PR models (with interactions) of M, G, and V in HiPPO and create the 3D plots of these three metamodels in Matlab. Briefly comment on the accuracy of the three metamodels by comparing to the true function plots in HW2-3.
  • c. Create the GimOPT input file for this optimization problem using the three metamodels and obtain the optimum solution. Report your solution and briefly comment on it by comparing to the true solution in

HW2-2. Note that these metamodels and their gradients can be saved to file in HiPPO. Also note that the two functions for G and V are not the constraint functions by themselves; you need to apply their limit values when creating the constraint functions for GimOPT.
