Benefit of taking on debt well into the future by reducing short-term expenses and maximizing the chances of interest rate and inflation increases.

Currently interest rates are near historic lows. With the Federal Funds rate at 0.25% there is not much further to go down (bankrate.com). With treasuries trading at very low rates, stable companies should be able to raise capital in today’s market at low rate that remains attractive to investors seeking higher returns than from government bonds. They should also be able to issue longer time horizon bonds that will extend the positive benefit of taking on debt well into the future by reducing short-term expenses and maximizing the chances of interest rate and inflation increases.

In addition to the benefit of securing loans at historically low interest rates; the company may also be able to gain a tax advantage on capital, which could be more advantageous than holding cash. There is an article in Forbes describing why Apple, with $145 Billion in cash has decided to issue bonds (Forbes).

With signs of an economic recovery becoming clearer, a company with the means to do so can invest in facilities now using capital raised from bonds and be in a strong position to gain market share as the economy picks up. It can also buy back stock as Apple is choosing to do.

Low interest bonds will also benefit the company as the economy improves because the coupon payments will cost the company less in present day dollars. Even with a low ROI use for the capital the company stands to make money if inflation out paces the issued bond interest rate.

“Research Proposal” Discussion, be sure to contact me in the current Discussions Qs & As thread for thesis approval before you proceed in the course.

This Discussion provides a useful way for you to begin identifying some of the facts you have uncovered regarding your research topic. You may want to use some or all of these facts in your Information Report and, later, in your final Research Project, as well. Be sure to cite your facts following MLA citation guidelines. [Other research styles are ineligible for credit in this course.]

To prepare for this assignment, refer to the “Assignment List” pages in our previous modules, about locating, citing, and evaluating sources.

Instructions:

Select and post two (2) critical and/or fascinating facts that you learned from one or two professional and current sources (published in the last five years) regarding your current research topic.
Do not quote. Instead, interpret your facts using *only* your own words, i.e., paraphrase or summarize the source information. And use only 3rd person pronouns (he, she, it, they, their, them, etc.).
At the end of each statement of fact, insert an MLA-style parenthetical reference (in-text citation) to credit your source for the idea and to help you avoid plagiarism.

Discuss about leadership interview.

Leadership Interview: Students should consider this assignment as an opportunity to gain access to someone who you have an interest in meeting, for example, a senior VP or CEO at a company in your hometown or in the Manchester area. Another option would be to interview a CEO of a non-profit organization.

Students are expected to interview someone outside the university community and may not interview a relative for this project. All individuals to be interviewed must be approved by the instructor. The structure of the interview must be guided by the Kouzes & Posner framework. You can and should expand on the Kouzes & Posner framework in order to insure a rich and comprehensive interview. As you write up your interview, indicate areas of agreement and disagreement between the person you interviewed and the Kouzes & Posner framework of leadership. Your write-up should be in third person essay format. Do not use a question and answer format.

What type of research method was used (e.g., description of subjects, how many, how were they selected; what apparatus or materials were used, and procedures).

Please read the instructions carefully and ask me if you have any question.

Students are to choose and read one of the presented articles and answer the essay questions from below. The articles are empirical in nature and were written for a captivated audience hence, many may find certain parts of the readings difficult to understand (i.e., the results section). Students may want to focus on the Introduction (describes the issue and surveys previous studies), Methods (describes how this particular study was carried out), and Discussion (interpretation of the study and what the results may mean) sessions in order to get a general understanding to of the article. Write an essay (for each article chosen)—in your own words—that addresses the following questions:

1. What is the purpose of the research?

2. What type of research method was used (e.g., description of subjects, how many, how were they selected; what apparatus or materials were used, and procedures).

3. Identify the independent variable(s) & dependent variable(s)

4. What were the main results?

5. How does the research relate to topics you’ve learned in your course (be specific)?

6. How does the research apply to your everyday life experiences (be specific)?

Be sure to include as a cover sheet (this page does not count toward the minimum 2 page limit) the following:

Your name, student ID number, instructors name and course number
article’s title, authors, and date of study

All papers must be submitted to YOUR PSY 100 INSTRUCTOR by the last regular scheduled day of classes (not including study period or finals week) by 5pm.

The paper should at least be two pages and written without excessive spelling errors, poor grammar, and punctuation. Please note that all essays must be original and done independently from other students. If any form is plagiarized from another student and/or some outside source, students may risk disciplinary action that is not limited to the following: an incomplete for the course; failing the course, and/or suspension from the university. Non-compliance of any of the aforementioned rules and the paper will not be accepted and graded as an incomplete paper.
