Assignment 2: Genesis Capital Plan Report The Genesis operations management team, nearing completion of its agreement with Sensible Essentials, was asked by senior management to present a capital plan for the operating expansion. The capital plan was not to be a wish list but an analysis of the necessary expenditures to successfully establish a fully equipped operating facility overseas. In addition, senior management requested meaningful financial and operating metrics to ensure that the performance objectives for the facility were being met. The operations management team was given five days to accomplish the following: 1. Calculate the firm’s WACC. 2. Prepare and analyze each planned capital expenditure. 3. Evaluate, rank, and recommend the capital expenditures according to beneficial value to the organization, using evaluation tools NPV, payback, and IRR. Evaluation, ranking, and recommendations should be by category of expenditures. For example, facility, equipment 1, 2, and 3, and inspection. 4. Using the selected choices in part three, calculate the full cost of establishing a fully equipped facility. This would include the facility, equipment 1, 2, and 3, and inspection. In addition, calculate the payback, NPV, and IRR for the completed facility. 5. Construct and recommend between three and five metrics to measure the performance of the organization. At least one metric should be dividend decision-making driven. 6. Prepare an executive summary along with a separate document showing the calculations. Following the example of the operations management team, do the following: a. Download the Capital Budgeting spreadsheet, and compute the WACC for Genesis. (see attachment) Additional information: the expected interest rate is 11% and cost of equity is 15.51% b. Using the information provided in the spreadsheet, analyze Genesis’s project options. Using the information provided, calculate the periodic and cumulative net cash flows for each potential project and its associated options. Please note that there are 5 projects (facility, equipment pieces 1, 2, and 3, and internal inspection) and that each project offers multiple configuration options (facility size, equipment type, etc.). c. Evaluate, rank, and recommend a specific option for each capital project according to beneficial value to the organization, using evaluation tools NPV, payback, and IRR. d. Construct and recommend between three and five metrics to measure the performance of the new operating strategy. At least one metric should reflect dividend policy as it relates to rewarding shareholders. e. Prepare an executive summary describing your recommendations for each project and the overall cost, net cash flows, and expected returns of the operating configuration that you recommend. Be sure to justify your recommendations in terms of the investment criteria applied in Step 3 above. Be sure to report the full cost of the facility as it is configured per your recommendations. Present and justify your operating strategy performance metrics. Your complete report should include all of your calculations as appendices (5 pages, or 1 page for each project). Write a 5–6-page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

One of the most notable sea disasters occurred with the sinking of the Titanic on Monday, April 15, 1912. The table below summarizes the fate of the passengers and crew. A common rule of the sea is that when a ship is threatened with sinking, women and children are first to be saved. FATE OF PASSANGERS AND CREW OF THE TITANIC MEN WOMEN BOYS GIRLS SURVIVED 332 318 29 27 DIED 1360 104 35 18 If we examine the data we see that 19.6% of the men(332out of 1692) survived, 75.4% of the women (318 out of 422) survived, 45.3 of the boys (29 out of 64) survived , and 60% of the girls (27 out of 45) survived. There do appear to be differences, but are the differences really significant? First construct a bar graph showing the percentage of survivors in each of the four categories (men, women, boys and girls). What does the graph suggest? Next treat the 2223 people aboard the titanic as a sample. We could take the position that the Titanic data in the above table constitutes a population and therefore should not be treated as a sample, so that methods of inferential statistics do not apply. But let’s stipulate that the data in the table are sample data randomly selected from the population of all theoretical people who would find themselves in the same conditions. Realistically, no other people will actually find themselves in the same condition, but we will make that assumption for the purpose of this discussion and analysis. We can then determine whether the observed differences have statistical significant. Use one or more formal hypothesis test to investigate the claim that although some men survive while some women and children died, the rule of “women and children first” was essentially followed. Identify the hypothesis test(s) used to interpret the results by addressing the claim that when the titanic sank on its maiden voyage, the rule of “women and children first” was essentially followed.
