Introduction to Executive Tools for Decision Making TUI Financial Accounting ACC201 Introduction to Executive Tools for Decision Making APPLE Inc. The total amount of cash available for Apple to pay their current debts is $123.55 billion dollars in favor of assets. I derived this from Apple’s Assets $207 billion and subtracted their liabilities, which was $83.45 billion. I believe that Apple is in good shape due to the total assets the company has received. $207 – 83.45 = 123.55 billion Apple is increasing its investment in operations every year.
The company's gross margins went up by 126 basis points, to 29.7%, mainly because of better inventory management and a change in the product mix and selling and administration expenses range in at $274.4 million.

The company's net income also followed suit and soared by an amazing 146%, to $41.5 million, although it was slightly offset by higher
Questions 5) Use the process outlined in the video to create the line of best fit for your data. Why is it reasonable to set the intercept value to 0 for this data? What effect does this have on the equation of the line of best fit? Through moments of testing one can say that when one increases the value of the intercept it gradually decreases the value of the actual equation. It is reasonable to set the value to 0 because if one makes the value 0 we can observe a more precise answer, than if one changes the intercept.
Ensure you state where a particular assumption is used in your proof. (600 points) [pic] Given the two IC Curves, Point A on IC1 is northeast of IC2’s Point B implying that IC1 is has a higher utility than IC2. On IC2, Point D is northeast to IC1’s Point C implying that IC2 is the IC curve with the higher utility, which creates a logical inconsistency. This would break the assumption rule that every consumption basket lies on one and only one indifference curve. It would also break the transitivity assumption.
Arundel Partners: The Sequel Project Case study Outline Executive Summary … 2 Summary of Facts … 3 Statement of Problem … 3 Investment analysis … 4 Valuation methods: Discounted Cash Flow (supported by Annex 1) … 5 Decision Tree (supported by Annex 2) … 6 Real options (supported by Annex 3) … 7 Contract provisions … 7 Recommendations … 8 Executive summary The main problems arising in Arundel Partners’ investment decision in a portfolio of sequel rights is how to value these rights in order to determine whether such investment makes sense, how much they should pay for these rights and the contractual provisions that should be agreed upon with the studios in order to align the incentives of both parties. By analyzing all the information available, we can argue that there is great potential for value generation for Arundel, as the studios are willing to accept low prices for the sequel rights, due to the fact that, in general, these rights were not sold in that period and they were not even taken into consideration when the first movie was produced. From Arundel’s perspective, the sequel rights can be considered, on average, undervalued securities. When using the Discounted Cash Flow approach and the decision tree method, we have discovered that two of the six studios considered for collaboration – namely, MCA Universal and The Walt Disney Company – have sequel rights that generate a positive net present value. Since we consider that the real options approach best mimics the reality of this case, we also employ this method on a studio portfolio basis, and discover that besides the two studios mentioned above, Warner Brothers’ sequel rights also seem to be underpriced.
The examples provided in the text illustrate just how easy it is to be redundant and not realize it. For example, phrases such as “absolutely essential “or “a total of 68 participants” are errors regularly committed on my part. Being able to identify redundancy will be a focus as I work towards more clear and concise writing. As a commitment to reducing bias in writing, the rule I will remember is “recognizing that differences should be mentioned only when relevant” (p. 71). I did not realize how easy it is to unintentionally use bias language.
This analysis is just one part of the complete Porter strategic models. The other elements are the value chain and the generic strategies. Porter developed his Five Forces analysis in reaction to the then-popular SWOT analysis, which he found unrigorous and ad hoc. Porter's five forces is based on the Structure-Conduct-Performance paradigm in industrial organizational economics. It has been applied to a diverse range of problems, from helping businesses become more profitable to helping governments stabilize industries.
