Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

Sears, Roebuck and Co. vs. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

The Sears/Wal-Mart case is a good opportunity for you to dive into financial statements and begin looking closely at corporations. Put yourself in the shoes of Don Edwards, who we learn is a newly hired analyst at a big investment bank. His assignment, as is yours in this case, is to compare Sears and Wal-Mart using the materials that are included with the case study. The topics we will have covered in class will prepare you to effectively evaluate these companies.

My role in this exercise is as your supervisor at the investment bank. I will be reviewing your case write- up as a supervisor might review an analysis you’ve prepared for your job. Ultimately, for this assignment you will be evaluated based on how well you respond to the questions below as well as the thoughtfulness of your overall analysis of the case.

Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

Please address the questions/considerations below in your write-up of the Sears/Wal-Mart case study.

  1. How are the retailing strategies for Sears and Wal-Mart similar? How are they different? Be sure to also look at their financial statements when addressing this question, noting anything that might stand out.
  2. You are told in the case introduction that Don Edwards conducted an ROE analysis and found that Sears’ ROE (22%) was greater than Wal-Mart’s (20%). How might Don/you probe deeper into the companies’ ROE results using any of the financial statement analysis tools from Chapter 4 of the textbook?
  3. For any/all financial analyses you conduct in evaluating the companies, you should be prepared to explain why you choose to perform the particular analysis, what the results of the analysis suggest, and what limitations there might be in using the analysis. Remember, you are writing this to assist Don’s/your supervisor (that’s me!) in determining whether the firm should recommend a buy or sell for the companies.
  4. When you perform the analysis/analyses, be sure to show your math so I can follow how you arrived at your result(s). For instance, if you were to use the Current Ratio in your analysis, and let’s say that current assets = $120 and current liabilities = $100, I would expect you to write your results as follows in the text of your assignment: “The Current Ratio is 1.2 ($120/$100).”

Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

 Additionally, I am expecting you to structure your case study assignment with the following sections:

  • Introduction/Background: Introduce the case and provide brief background details to help setup your analysis. This is also a good time to tell your reader how you plan to
  • Analysis: Provide data or other analysis to arrive at an informed recommendation or recommendations.
  • Recommendation(s): Provide the reader with your recommendation(s) based on your well- reasoned analysis from the prior section. Be sure that your recommendation(s) is/are supported by your Analysis section.

Your case study assignment must be formatted using standard font sizing (11), margin sizing (1 inch), and line spacing (not more than double spaced). Assignment length is 5-7 pages. APA.

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

You will use the information completed in Case Study: Projections, NPV, Compilation Assignment final document.

Your Case Study: Projections, NPV, Compilation Assignment paper must include

  1. Executive Summary – this should be no more than one page and provide the reader with an overview of what will be contained in the following pages. The problem and strategic solution being recommended should be in this summary. Details for the choice and implementation and data to support the decision should be contained in the following sections.
  2. Alternative strategies (giving advantages and disadvantages for each). There should be at least two alternative strategies identified and discussed.

Projected Financial Statements (Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows) for 3 years into the future. This must be broken down by year into two (2) columns: 1 column without your strategy and 1 column with your strategy. The without column should serve as the basis for your with strategy column and only those financial statement accounts that will be changed, based on your strategy, should be impacted.

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

  1. Include Projected ratios for the without and with strategy by year. Discuss how these ratios compare and contrast with the historical findings.
  2. Cost Analysis completed on an Excel tab that outlines the cost that will be incurred to implement the strategy. This information should correspond with the With Strategy on the Projected Financial Statements, linking of cells to the financial statements is encouraged.
  3. Net Present Value analysis of proposed strategy’s new cash flow – you may also use Excel to solve for this. From the income statement the change in operating income between your with and without strategy should serve as your cash inflow for each year.

NOTE: To construct the first cash flow (cf1) the new revenue from your strategy(s) must be discounted back to the present value by calculating EBIT (Operating Income on the Income Statement) and that figure will be your cfn for each year. cf0 (initial cost of your strategy), cf1 (discounted cash flow first year), r (opportunity cost of capital, the rate of the next best alternative use of cash/debt/equity resources).

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

  1. Implementation strategy – how and when will the strategy be implemented, this should outline the who, how, what, and when of the implementation process.
  2. Specific recommended strategy and long-term objectives. Explain why you chose the strategy, discuss the advantages/benefits to organizational success and sustainability. Include a discussion of the challenges or disadvantages that may arise as a result of the strategic choice.
  3. Text must follow this order with current APA level headings for each component. Place the results of the case study analysis in a Word document include matrices as appendices and a reference page. Submit a separate Excel document for your Historical financials, Projections, NPV, and Cost of the strategy. Use APA referencing style.

Scientific Literacy Essay

Task 2: The Essay
Scientific writing can be quite different from other writing formats that you may have experienced in other non-science or social science classes. In this assignment, you are going to utilize the research on an environmental issue in scientific literature from Task 1 and synthesize that research into a mini-review essay (1200-1500 words).
Learning objectives:
 Effectively research the existing scientific literature
 Convey detailed information about an environmental topic to a non-expert
 Synthesize the current primary academic research and identify key information gaps

 Integrate at least 3 topics from this course (ex. Topic/ Environmental issue:
Elephant extinction. Topics: evolution, climate change, biodiversity, ecosystems of the world)

Scientific Literacy Essay

Scientific Literacy Essay

Your essay should include but is not limited to:
1. Name of the environmental issue
2. Source/ cause of the issue
3. What is the cause of environmental change
4. How to minimize the issue/change
5. Future developments
6. A clear statement of which topics from this course you have integrated

Scientific Literacy Essay

Task 3: Response to Reviewer
Scientific literature is created through a process of peer-review, where colleagues and peers review work to suggest and make changes. One of the most important aspects of effective feedback is that it “feeds forward” on to further assignments. In this case, you will be using the feedback from your peers to update your essay.
In scientific literature, reviewers write a summary about their thoughts on the essay (“The reviewer’s comments”) and based on those comments you are asked to revise a rough draft of your essay before you submit it for grading.
You will have an opportunity to use the peer feedback given and update your essay before submitting it for grading. During this time you can expand the text of your essay to accommodate your updates and changes (for a maximum of 1500 words total). Importantly, this gives you an opportunity to reflect upon and respond to feedback
you’ve been given on your assignment and improve the final copy before you submit. Your Response to the Reviewer task will be graded on how well you give feedback using the feedback form, respond to the feedback, and update your rough draft. A feedback form will be provided as part of your reviewer task. Use APA referencing style.

Scientific Literacy and Communication

This assignment consists of three tasks. Each writing task in this assignment connects together in succession to help you gradually build your scientific writing skills from initial research to final revision. Your main goal with these assignment tasks is to create a thorough and thoughtful review of a pressing environmental issue by using the most up-to-date/recent publications in scientific literature.

Your task for this assignment is to research an environmental issue of your choice. There are many issues that cause damage to the environment. The following list is a small selection of these issues. Some examples include:
 Global warming
 Climate change
 Increasing population
 Animal extinction
 Ozone layer depletion
 Deforestation
 Pollution (air/ water/ soil)
 Plastic garbage
 Drinking water and sanitation
 Issues affecting the food industry and agriculture

Scientific Literacy and Communication

Scientific Literacy and Communication

You may choose an environmental issue of your choice. You may also select an environmental issue that is not currently on this list. However, make sure that the issue you choose to research has sufficient recent publications before you proceed with your assignment. If you are unsure if the environmental issue you would like to research is
appropriate, please reach out to your instructor.

Task 1: Annotated Bibliography (5%)
The first step to completing a review on a topic is to conduct thorough background research. In an annotated bibliography, you are expected to give a short outline (150 – 200 words) of the identified paper/research. You must include a minimum of five (5) primary academic sources. Your summary should include at least one piece of
information that clearly shows how the article contributes to the point you are trying to make in your final paper (Note: no more than 250 words per source). During this task you will choose one Environmental issue to explore in greater depth. You will then develop an annotated bibliography containing five (5) primary academic
sources and a thesis or topic idea. You may choose to use the template provided or use one of your own formatting.
Your annotated bibliography must use APA 7th Edition and the appropriate uses of formatting and citing.

Scientific Literacy and Communication

What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to sources (books, articles, films, websites, etc.) that you’ve used when researching a topic. An annotated bibliography includes a summary and evaluation of each source usually between 150-200 words. These annotations are written in paragraph form and for the purposes of this class
should include the following information:
1. An explanation of the main purpose of the source
2. A short summary of key findings or arguments of the source
3. The academic/intellectual credentials of the source. Does it appear in peer-reviewed
journals? Is the author someone who has expertise in the area?
4. Are there any shortcomings or biases?
5. The value of this work as a contribution to the topic you’re exploring.

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

Task:
In developing a new business venture, the process begins with recognising an opportunity from a business problem and creating a business concept that articulates it. For the first steps, the entrepreneur (1) builds a concept to solve the business challenge; (2) presents a story that conveys the meaning of the new venture, and (3) and be able to explain the concept to potential customers, investors and partners. After testing the concept with stakeholders, the entrepreneur may go on to develop a complete business plan. To help you build these skills you will be required to undertake the entrepreneurial process of opportunity recognition and concept development. You will be asked to identify possible commercial opportunities for an innovation and then articulate the opportunities into a
100% NEW business concept. You will submit a 2,800 – 3,000 words business concept report that identifies and describes your innovative business idea. You must research and select one of the cities/ countries from the list for your targeted market: France, Sweden, Italy, Turkey, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru, South Africa, Dubai, Japan, Malaysia,
Vietnam, Taiwan and Singapore.

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

Some of the issues that will help you in developing and evaluating your business idea are:
1. the problem or need and identification of the customers and market
2. the proposed solution and the uniqueness of the solution
3. why the customer will pay for the solution
4. feasibility, marketing, finance, and operational issues
Report:
In your business concept report you should:
• Identify the problem and recognise a business opportunity to solve it.
• Assess the business opportunity (undertake a feasibility analysis).
• Identify and explain the business model/strategy, based on the assessment of the
business opportunity.
References: Chapter 3 Creativity and Innovation, Chapter 4 Feasibility Analysis and
Chapter 5 Strategic Plan

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

Your business concept report may be structured around all three elements above or you can devise your own approach. See below for a suggested approach:
1. The business opportunity: The problem and solution (Identify the ‘problem’ and discuss the business opportunity that may address it, showing an understanding of the particular market and potential customers.)
2. Business opportunity assessment
(This is your feasibility analysis. In this section, assess the feasibility of the business idea in relation to the following: industry/market, product/service, and the organization and its management.)
3. Business model/strategy
(Based on your assessment of the business opportunity, explain the business model/strategy that you will use to realize the opportunity.)
Here are some questions to help GUIDE you in developing your business concept (and later when expanding it into a full business plan for the final group project in week 11).

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

• What are the key factors in determining if your idea is a viable business opportunity? Is this just an idea or a real business opportunity? Can the new product or service work?
• What contextual (economic, regulatory, industry) factors should you be aware of? What markets and market drivers should you focus on? What are the specific competitive advantages will the product or service offer? Who are the customers likely to be?
• Who would make up the team? In your opinion, what is the greatest risk? Why and how should this risk be mitigated? What resources you will need? Who is going to finance it?
• What would be the business strategy? Briefly describe your business strategy. What partners and alliances (important stakeholders) will you need in order to be successful in production, distribution, marketing, and overall? What distribution channels will be used?
Please note you must ensure that to correctly cite any information you use from other sources and provide a reference list at the end of your report. There is no requirement for minimum number of the sources that you should use but you should utilise correct referencing techniques and do not plagiarise (use the APA Intext Citations
and Referencing System). If you fail to provide appropriate referencing, students will be penalised.

Child & YouthCare - Literature Review

Child & YouthCare – Literature Review

You should start by identifying an issue that you feel passionate about. Look at the topical outline for some ideas, the sky is the limit here folks!

I know this “pick your own adventure” can be stressful for people. So some ideas are included here *Please Note: I have attached Googled articles that you can all access but when completing this paper you MUST use literature, this means peer reviewed journal articles

  1. Human Trafficking in Indigenous Youth Populations in Ontario (idea article )
  2. The Emotional Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Youth in Canada (article )
  3. Transracial Care Systems and the impact on Black Youth (idea article )
  4. Links between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and Wellbeing Outcomes in Youth in Ontario (idea article )
  5. Education Crisis in Attawapiskat (article ) – so many themes you could pull out here, but I would just focus on this community not Indigenous communities broadly. So, you can do the Education issues (Shannens Dream  came out of this) you can also do the suicide crisis, water crisis, housing crisis (but obviously tie it back to youth).
  6. The School to Prison Pipeline in Canada (idea article)
  7. Impacts of Ableism on the Health and Wellbeing of Disabled Young People (article )
  8. Barriers to youth Accessing Mental Health Services/could also focus on Migrant Youth (article ) /or specify for Black Youth (article ) – could also discuss cultural stigma

You will need to read more than four articles so that you can find four to pick that are most relevant to your topic. If you want to use more than four you are welcome to.

Child & YouthCare – Literature Review

Your paper should work to explore the topic you’ve selected by presenting literature that you have found that relates to your issue. For example, if you selected homeless youth, you might want to research the barriers that impact females who identify as homeless such as education, health care, employment, addiction, mental health, etc. Let the research guide you! Ensure you have in-text citations and have followed APA throughout your paper. A paper without in text citations, a title page, or a reference page will not be accepted. You must complete the checklist for APA formatting before submitting this assignment.

The only rules for the topic selection of your assignment are:

A) It must be about children and youth

B) You cannot write about child abuse of any kind

C) Please include issues particular to Canada

Developmental-Ecological Systems Chart

For this assignment you will create a visual representation of you using a developmental-ecological systems approach.  By understanding the five systems in which we interact, you will increase your understanding of how these systems influence children, youth and families. The Ecological Systems Theory was introduced to you in your Child/Adolescent Development course and also in MH2 so much of this will be a review. Now this looks more difficult than it is and the good news is that it is not due for two weeks:) Due Week 7 (Feb 20, by 11:59 pm).

Developmental-Ecological Systems Chart

So here is what you need to do….

  • Create an ecological systems chart (electronic) with you as the identified person at the centre of the microsystem.
  • Identify factors at each of the five levels of the ecosystem (Microsystem, Mesosystem, Exosystem, Macrosystem, Chronosystem) and label whether each factors exist as primarily risk (-) or protective (+) factors for you. Use a (-) risk or (+) protective, beside each factor that you state to indicate risk or protective. [Example:  Microsystem – Peers (+) You have identified peers as a protective (+) factor for you as your peers are supportive, caring etc]
  • Provide a written explanation for each system summarizing each issue you have identified and explaining why they are a risk or a protective factor for you. [Example:  Microsystem – “My peers are a protective factor for me as they…..”]
  • Software such as Prezi, PowerPoint etc can be used to create the visual representation of your ecosystem.

Developmental-Ecological Systems Chart

(I have also added an online block diagram in the “Reading and Resources” section that you might want to check out. You can sign up for free and you can take a screen shot of it or export it following the directions on the website:) You will need to add the Chronosystem to the diagram as it is not included.  You can do this by using the text box function and arrows.

Create a rough draft of your ecosystem and then put a – (risk) or + (protective) beside each item to indicate that it is a risk or protective factor.  For example, if you have a close relationship with your mother, this will be a protective factor.  High unemployment in your community could be a risk factor. Covid is a risk factor.

Developmental-Ecological Systems Chart

Now that you have completed your rough draft, decide how you will present this electronically.  If you choose a powerpoint or prezi, you can do your summary right in the software.  If you choose another median that does not allow for a text box, you will need to provide your summary on a word document. And that’s it… There are additional articles in the Readings and Resources section you should take a look at.  Have a great week. Remember this assignment is due in two weeks (Feb 20 by 11:59 pm) in the Week 5 Assignment Folder.  If you have any questions, you can bring them to the Zoom office hours on Wednesday at 2:30 pm:). Use APA referencing style.

Family Life Cycle Assignment

This week we are focusing on “Family Transitions”. As you know from your Child and Adolescent Development courses individuals go through “typical” developmental stages; those that are considered natural and somewhat predictable. The understanding of family development has been primarily based on information and research of “traditional” families and there has been little consideration given to cultural, ethnic or religious influences (Baxter & Shimoni 2014).
With that being said, CYC’s need to use caution when using the developmental life cycle perspectives in their work with families. The theory will however give you an overview of how different stages can cause family stress coupled with the fact that both the individual and family life cycles are occurring at the same time.

Duvall & Miller’s  Family Life Cycle (8 Stages):

Stage Description Developmental Tasks:
Stage I: Beginning Families
Married couple with no children
Average length of stage is 2 to 3 years
Greatest marital satisfaction experienced
To establish a mutually satisfying marriage
To relate harmoniously to the kin network
To plan a family
Stage 2: Childbearing Families
Because children are spaced out, the family is still considered to be forming
Childbearing about 30 months apart Child-rearing Average 2 children/family Half of women work outside of the home Average length of stage is 2 years Marital satisfaction begins to lessen (continues to decline through stage 4 or 5)
To set up young family as a stable unit
To reconcile conflicting developmental tasks and needs of family members
To maintain mutually satisfying marital relationship
To expand relationships within family
Stage 3: Families with Preschool Children
Parents are still very involved with the children
This family’s oldest child is 30 months to 6 years.  Deeply involved in child rearing.  Average length of stage is 3 years
To meet basic family needs (housing, food, etc.)
To socialize the children
To integrate new child members into the family
To maintain healthy relationships within the family
Stage 4: Families with School Children
Parents have more free time
Family’s oldest child is between six and 13 years old.
With children in school, mom has more free time and most enter work force Average length of stage is 7 years
To socialize the children
To maintain a satisfying marital relationship
To meet physical health needs of family members
Stage 5: Families with Adolescents
Oldest child is 13 to 20 years old Marital satisfaction reaches its lowest point Average length of stage is 7 years
To balance freedom with responsibility of teenagers
To focus on the marital relationship
To communicate openly between parents and children
Stage 6: Families As Launching Centers
The first child launches into the adult world The stages lasts until the last child leaves home, average 8 years Marital satisfaction begins to rise
To balance freedom with responsibility of teenagers
To focus on the marital relationship
To communicate openly between parents and children
Stage 7: Families In the Middle Years
This stage lasts from the time the last child has left home to retirement Commonly referred to as the “empty nest” stage Sometimes adult children return home Begin care-taking activities for elderly relatives, especially parents and parents-in-law
To prepare for retirement
To re-focus on marriage without children
To realign relationships to include in-laws and grandchildren
To adjust to role as caregiver with declining health of elderly parents
Stage 8: Aging Families
Working members of the family have retired Chronic illnesses begin to take effect Eventually one of the spouses dies The surviving spouse may move in with other family members or be cared for by them.
To promote healthy, active retirement as body ages
To explore new family and social roles
To adjust to a reduced income, and loss (death of siblings, friends, and spouse)
To review and reflect on life and experiences

Family Life Cycle Assignment

Part A: Reflect on your own family of origin and based the above chart (Duvall and Miller’s Family Life Cycle Stages), answer the following questions.

1. What stage is your family is currently in and identify the developmental tasks that are being met or not met.

2. Looking back at previous stages, identify any stages and developmental tasks that perhaps caused conflict or an imbalance in your families functioning. How did your family work through the stages and what can you do to help your family with the upcoming stages?

3. Finally, why do you think it is important for CYCP’s to understand the Family Life Cycle stages and why should we use caution when referring to this in our work with families? How can we use this in our practice.

Family Life Cycle Assignment

Family Life Cycle Assignment

Part B: Read the article “Values and Attitudes in Family Work”, and answer the following questions.

Do you agree with Dimitoff’s statement: “The family is the single most important influence in a child’s life” Why/why not?
What do you think about her comment about CYC’s tendencies to align with the child? Examples?
What are your thoughts about contacts with the family?
What does the author see as the ‘critical tool’ for the CYC working with families?
With what has been reviewed so far and the content of the article, how do you plan on applying “using the family’s own values and understanding your own family of origin” to your CYC practice with families?
What are some of the strategies that you would apply to working with the resistance of families to the CYC supports?

Use APA referencing style.
