Topic Leadership Styles in small business Company iMiTs ArtModule 3 - CaseOBTAINING THE DATA FOR THE RESEARCH CONTEXTAssignment OverviewIn this Case Assignment, you will be reading several articles and sources about sampling, about participant recruitment and interaction, and about managing the relationship between research participants and researchers. You will then be asked to think about how these issues apply to your project and your research questions, and to develop an appropriate sampling plan for your study taking all these issues into consideration.As the course progresses, you will be making a series of decisions in which you will increasingly specify the structure of your project. These decisions build on each other in critical ways. However, you are not locked into previous decisions if you subsequently decide you need to change direction. As before, you have an opportunity to go back and revise and/or extend the previous sections completed in previous modules. If you do revise earlier sections, please include them and indicate what changes you have made to them. Case grades given for the first four modules will be advisory rather than final. Your ultimate grade will be based on the completed methodology at the end of the course.

As the financial analyst of your chosen company (xfinity /Comcast), your finance director has requested that you perform a project analysis for the firm’s product line expansion using the following data. Be sure to show your analysis. Consider an expansion cost of $20,000,000 that is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its five- year tax life and has a salvage value of $6,000,000. In the first year, the project will require a working capital investment of $800,000, which will be recovered (liquidated) in Year 5. The additional revenues from the project in Year 1 will be $10,000,000. Using only the new project: Develop five-year annual income statements and projected cash flow for each year. Data for your projections are as following: Revenues or Sales—increasing by 10% each year. Operating Expenses excluding depreciation are 90% of revenues each year. Calculate the annual depreciation expense for the project based on the initial cost, the salvage value, and straight-line depreciation over the five-year period. Tax Rate—Use a fixed tax rate of 23.5%. Discount rate- Cost of capital or WACC—Use the weighted average cost of capital that was developed in week four to analyze the acceptance or rejection of this project. In your paper, provide the following (show all calculations): Develop the initial cash outlay for the project. Create the future net operating cash flows in Years 1,2,3,4 and 5 for the project. Develop the terminal value or the non-operating cash flow in Year 5. Use the cost of capital that was computed in week four to determine if the capital project should be implemented. Explain your reasoning. Discuss the principal advantages and disadvantages for the use of scenario analysis and simulation analysis and its impact on your chosen company capital budgeting project decision.
