Principles of Finance I

WEEK 7: Discussion Prompt #1 - Holders of equity capital (common and preferred stock) are owners of the firm. There are those that argue that having equity capital benefits the organization versus debt. With the variety of debt structures available, such as angel investors, fund-raising, etc., do you believe that it is better for the organization to give up part of the ownership in the company or to seek straight debt outside the company?

By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers. Week 5 Discussion This week we've talked about polynomials and their properties. Polynomials show up in the real world a lot more than you would think! Applications can be found in physics, economics, meteorology, and more. One real-world example of a degree-two polynomial is the projectile motion equation used in physics: -- zat? at? + vot + ho h(t) = - Details about this formula can be found at the brainfuse.com website. For example, if you hit a baseball at shoulder height (say about 4ft, 6 inches - no = 4.5ft , you may have an initial velocity of 32ft around vo = 89.5mph . The force of gravity is about a= S2 We can convert our miles to hour to feet per second (89.5 mph = 131.3 ft/s) and create an equation that would model the height of the ball at time t: h(t) ==} (32)+2 + 131.36 + 4.5 Pick a baseball team average speed off the bat from this list. Pretend you are on that team and hitting a pitch. Using your height and the information in the table, create your own personalized equation as was done in the example above. Once you have your equation, find the zeros and the vertex using the techniques covered this week in Chapter 3. Show all your work! Compare the maximum height of your classmate's baseball to your own. Do you think the difference is more from the difference in initial height of the bat or in the speed of the pitch?

Week 6 Discussion Rational functions can show up in surprising places. For example, when you are finding the average, you are actually using a rational function! Average = total number Or in math speak, Ex i= n Often when making an expensive purchase we look at the total cost and whether we are willing to pay it. Another way to consider this is to find the average cost per month to see if it is in your budget. A common example would be when you renew the contract on your cell phone. Often we buy a new phone at the same time, and you can either pay it up front or have it added to your monthly bill. If you pay for the device up front, you can use the following function to model the monthly cost, where m is the number of months you plan on owning the device. DeviceCost + (MonthlyBill)m C(m) = m Do some research to find the cost of a device you want to buy, and either your actual monthly bill or an advertised monthly bill. Using these numbers, give us the function you would use to model the monthly cost. Based on the asymptotes, what would be the minimum monthly average cost for this phone and plan? Explain how you got your answer. What would be the average cost if you replace the phone after 2 years (24 months)? Does this make you reconsider the price of the phones you buy? Compare your classmates' functions to your own. Do you think it's the cost of the phone or the monthly cost of the phone plan that makes the most difference? View your discussion rubric.
