Select a Fortune 500 company or another company you are familiar with. Consider pharmaceuticals, computer hardware, retail, or automotive industries for your selection. If you choose a company that is not in the Fortune 500, ensure that enough financial information and key performance indicator results are available to complete the assignment. Imagine your manager has asked you to help with a presentation on the company’s financial performance at the company’s annual meeting.  Research financial information and key performance indicators for the company. Create a 10- to 16-slide presentation for investors to assess the company’s financial growth and sustainability. Identify key performance indicators for the company you selected, including the following: The company and its ticker symbol Cash flow from operations Price-to-earnings ratio Stock dividends and the yield, if any Earnings per share ratio Revenue estimates for the next 12 months Revenue from the previous 3 years Statement of cash flows and identify net cash from operating, investing, and financing activities over the past 3 years Average trade volume. Current stock price, 52-week high, and 1-year estimated stock price Analysts’ recommendations for the stock (buy,sell, hold) Market cap for the company Relate the stock price to price-to-earnings ratio. Explain the market capitalization and what it means to the investor. Evaluate trends in stock price, dividend payout, and total stockholders’ equity. Relate recent events or market conditions to the trends you identified. Determine, based on your analysis, whether you think the organization is going to meet its financial goals, the outlook for growth and sustainability, and explain why you recommend this stock for purchase.  

This section serves as a checkpoint to prepare you for your course project. As part of your initial post, download the Project Template and complete at least the Introduction section.For this discussion, you will play the first run of the Macroeconomics Simulation: Econland (from Harvard Business Review), in which you will act as the chief economic policy advisor for the fictional country of Econland. Select the Base Case scenario for this practice run. You may play the simulation as many times as you like. This will directly support your success in your course project, due in Module Eight.In your initial post, include an image of your simulation report. (See Module Three Simulation Discussion Screenshot Instructions.) Then address the following:Share your experience in the simulation. Do you think you made sound policy decisions? Were you reappointed at the end of the simulation?During the simulation, you made decisions concerning government spending. How did your decisions impact key macroeconomic indicators such as real GDP growth and unemployment? Refer to the graphs “Real GDP Growth” and “Unemployment Rate” from your simulation results to illustrate the impact.How did your changes to the interest rates impact inflation and other key macroeconomic indicators used in the simulation? Refer to the “Inflation Rate” graph from your simulation results.In your responses, comment on at least two of your peers’ posts. Compare and contrast your simulation experience and outcomes. Did your and your peers’ policy decisions have their intended effects? How did the simulation reveal or contradict your prior assumptions about macroeconomics?To complete this assignment, review the Module Three Simulation Discussion Guidelines and Rubric.This is from my stimulation that I did and I have it attached.I will also need two responses done on classmates. I will extend the time for them because I have to post my initial post first before I can see who has done there discussion to be able to respond to.OverviewYour active participation in the discussions is essential to your overall success this term. The simulation discussions in this course allow you to share your experiences playing simulation games related to the final project simulation. These discussions give you a chance to express your thoughts, ask questions, and gain insights from your peers and instructor.DirectionsCreate one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.For your initial post, you must do the following:Create a post that addresses the discussion prompt.Attach a screenshot of your simulation report.Complete your initial post by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.Use proper citation methods for your discipline when referencing scholarly or popular sources.For your two response posts, you must do the following:Reply to at least two classmates outside of your own initial post thread.Complete your responses by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.Follow the guidance in the discussion prompt.Module Three Simulation Discussion RubricCriteriaProficient (100%)Needs Improvement (55%)Not Evident (0%)ValueInitial Post: TimelinessDevelops an initial post that includes simulation image by the indicated timeInitial post does not include simulation image or is not posted by the indicated timeDoes not make an initial post20Initial Post: Macroeconomic IndicatorsExplains how decisions impacted key macroeconomic indicators such as real GDP growth and unemployment, and refers to the graphs “Real GDP Growth” and “Unemployment Rate” to illustrateShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissionsDoes not attempt criterion20Initial Post: Interest RatesExplains how changes to interest rates impacted inflation and other key macroeconomic indicators, and refers to the “Inflation Rate” graph to illustrateShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissionsDoes not attempt criterion20Response PostsResponds to at least two peer posts by comparing the simulation experiences and outcomes, including evaluating the effects of the policy decisions and prior assumptions about macroeconomicsShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissionsDoes not attempt criterion30Articulation of ResponseClearly conveys meaning with correct grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, demonstrating an understanding of audience and purposeShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, negatively impacting readabilitySubmission has critical errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, preventing understanding of ideas5Citations and AttributionsUses citations for ideas requiring attribution, with only minor errorsUses citations for ideas requiring attribution, with major errorsDoes not use citations for ideas requiring attribution5Total: 100%
