Case ScenarioOver the past four years, the LSS organization, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, has beco

me renowned nationally for its Camp Noah project. Following floods, tornadoes or other weather emergencies, children lose their daily routine, their schools and oftentimes their homes. Parents are often stressed and unavailable during emergencies, and children have few resources to help them understand their situation. In Camp Noah, volunteers with skills in child psychology and counseling meet in a two day support group environment with children in flood ravaged areas. They encourage the children to share their stories and develop important resiliency skills and learn how to cope emotionally with the disaster.Due to the need for such services, LSS has developed a training system that lets them partner with resource organizations located near flood or tornado areas. They have partnered with many local organizations around the U.S. to train, equip and empower volunteers to staff local camps attended by children during their summer vacation. LSS also provides pre-packaged Camp Noah supplies that range from workbooks, crayons and puppets to a quilt for each child.Recently, powerful rainstorms in southeastern France triggered flash flooding that displaced more than 1000 families, and left 200,000 people without electricity for more than two weeks. City officials in France called the LSS Director of Camp Noah Services, Chris Walker, and asked if she could provide training and equip 20 volunteers in southeastern France to deliver the Camp Noah curriculum to up to 500 children. The French officials have asked that a decision to proceed be made within 2 weeks, and that the training and they want the equipment be delivered 6 weeks after the decision is made. Chris Walker wants to help but isn’t sure how to start. Currently, Camp Noah supplies are all written in English, and the counselor training documents are only written in English as well. The floods occurred in an area of France that has few English speakers.You are a contract employee who has been engaged to help LSS because you speak French fluently and because you are an expert, experienced project manager with great interpersonal skills. Your job is to assist the director, Chris Walker, during project initiation. If the project is approved, you may be asked to lead the remainder of the project as well. You and Chris have been in meetings together all day discussing the opportunity for a French Camp Noah. You’ve been listening very carefully and asking dozens of questions about the potential effort. Now, you’re ready to get started and put your considerable project management skills and knowledge to work.Questions based on above scenario and answer need to be 1/2 page long:1. Is this (or will this be) a project or operations? Justify your choice.2. What process group is this project currently in? How do you know?3. As an experienced project manager, you are aware that analyzing the environment in which a project operates is critically important. Select two (2) OPA and two (2) EEF that you believe are important to understand for this project. Apply these to the case scenario and justify why the four items you selected are important. 4. Once the decision is made to proceed with the project, Chris Walker, the director, will need to select a project manager. You know that LSS is a strong-matrix org. What does this mean in terms of how the project will be conducted and the role of the project manager? (5. You and Chris Walker, the director, will work on trying to define what project success will look like as you define the project objectives. What should you keep in mind about the process of writing objectives? Why are good statements of project objectives important to project success?

Answer and Explanation:

1. This is a project because it is carefully planned and follows a series of tasks to achieve a particular goal

2. Project is at initiation stage. It is yet to be approved and discussions are still on

3. Two organizational process assets (OPA) are : checklist, lessons database. Two Enterprise environmental factors(EEF): Organization management, group performance. EEF enable project managers understand their environment and factors that influence the project which may be beyond their control. OPAs here will enable organization learn from the knowledge base and everything other thing already acquired by management that can be used in the project or from projects initially executed by organization

4. Since LLS is a matrix organization(answering to both functional head and project manager), employees involved in the project would answer to project manager and project manager reports to functional head

5. The important to have in mind while writing project objectives is the goal of the project while considering threats and opportunities surrounding reaching the goal of the project. Clear objectives are important as they form guidelines to achieving project goal.

$26 per share is the current price for Foster Farms' stock. The dividend is projected to increase at a constant rate of 7.00% pe
ladessa [460]

Answer:

33.94%

Explanation:

The computation of stock's expected price 5 years is shown below:-

Stock price = $26

Required return = 12%

Growth rate = 7%

Current dividend per share = Stock price × (Required return - Growth rate) ÷ (1 + Growth rate)

= $26 × (12% - 7%) ÷ (1 + 7%)

= $26 × 5% ÷ 1.07

= $1.21

Stock price in 5 years = Expected dividend ÷ (required return - Growth rate)

Expected dividend = $1.21 × (1 + 7%)^5

= $1.21 × 1.402551731

= $1.697

Stock price in 5 years = $1.697 ÷ (12% - 7%)

= $1.697 ÷ 5%

= 33.94%

zmey [24]

Answer:

Answer 1.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat

Sale in Units 13500 4500 9000

Sale Mix 3 1 2

Sales Mix Ratio = 3:1:2

Answer 2.

Let the Break Even Sales = X Units

Therefore, Linear equation of BEP:

3/6 X (8-4) + 1/6 X (25-15) + 2/6 X (16-9) = 119520 (Fixed Costs)

X = 19920 Units

BEP of

DVD = 19,920 Units X 3/6 = 9960 Units

Equipment Set = 19,920 Units X 1/6 = 3320 Units

Yoga Mat = 19920 Units X 2/6 = 6640 Units

Answer 3.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat Total

Sale in Units 13,500 4,500 9,000 27,000

SP 8 25 16

Sales in $ 108,000 112,500 144,000 364,500

Less: Variable Costs 54,000 67,500 81,000 202,500

Contribution 54,000 45,000 63,000 162,000

Contribution Margin Ratio 50.00% 40.00% 43.75% 44.44%

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $119520 (Fixed Costs) / 44.44% (Contribution Margin Ratio)

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $268,920

Answer 4.

Margin of Safety = Sales - BES

Margin of Safety = $364,500 - 268920 = $95,580

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

18.24

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth a company can afford in the long term

sustainable growth rate = retention rate x ROE  

b = retention rate. It is the portion of earnings that is not paid out as dividends

Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio =

payout ratio = dividend / net income

retention rate = 1 - $44,640 / 72,000 = 0.38

Return on equity = net income / average total equity

= 72,000 / 150,000 = 0.48

g = 0.48 x 0.38 = 18.24%
