BKAngel financial management Discussion

Business Finance

A venture investor, BKAngel, is considering investing in a software venture opportunity.  However, the rate of return to be realized next year is likely to vary with the economic climate that actually occurs.  Following are three possible economic outcomes, the probability that each one will occur, and the rate of return projected for each outcome:

                   Economic             Probability of                     Rate of

Climate Occurrence Return

                       Recession                    .25                                -20.0%

                       Normal                         .50                                 15.0%

                       Rapid Growth            .25                                 30.0%

1. What is the expected rate of return on the software venture?

2. Calculate the variance and standard deviation of the rates of return for the software venture?

3.  Calculate the coefficient of variation of the rates of return for the software venture. If the coefficient of variation of rates of return for BKAngel’s prior venture investments is 1.5, would the software venture be considered as being less or more risky? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expected return = ??

Standard deviation = ??

Coefficient of variation = standard deviation / expected return = ??

Voice River, Inc. has successfully moved through its early life cycle stages and now is well into its rapid growth stage. However by traditional standards this provider of media-on-demand is still considered to be a relatively small venture. 

The interest rate on long-term US government securities is currently 7 percent.  Voice River’s management has observed that over the long-run the average annual rate of return on small firm stocks has been 17.3 percent while the annual returns on long-term U.S. government securities has averaged 5.7 percent. 

Management views Voice River as being an average small company venture at its current life cycle stage.

1. Determine the historical average annual market risk premium for small firm common stocks.

Avg. historical MRP = (Avg. historical return) – (Avg. historical risk free rate) = ??

2. Use the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to estimate the cost of common equity capital for Voice River.

Note that beta = 1, as against the small firm stocks  = 1.

CAPM = (rf) + (MRP) x (B) = ??

Prompt and Invention Ideas for the Definition Mixed Modes Essay

We have practiced five essay modes: narrative, descriptive, illustration, compare/contrast, and cause/effect. The mixed modes essay defines a topic by writing each body paragraph in a different mode

Prompt: Choose ONE of the following topics and write a 5-paragraph essay defining the topic:

TOAB

1. chivalry

2. love

3. happiness

4. sport

5. fun

6. diversity

Alternate prompt: choose your own topic but check with me

Your purpose may either inform (show your understanding) or persuade (motivate others to accept a point of view). The introduction should contain a one-sentence, three part formal definition of your term; this will be your thesis. You could further develop your introduction by expressing an attitude toward the term or by setting it in a broader context. The body should consist of three different types of 8 sentence body paragraph. The best conclusion will not only restate the thesis, but also add a new idea. Use your annotated readings as models of what to do (and not to do).

Below are some ideas for invention and the types of paragraphs they would fit into.

Descriptive Paragraph: Using strongverbs & adjectives, as well as the 5 senses, create a clear mental picture of the topic.

Cause/Effect paragraph

Discuss what causes the topic to happen.

Discuss what effects the topic has upon people, the world, etc.

Narrative paragraph: Using strongverbs & adjectives, as well as the 5 senses, tell a story that conveys the essence of your topic.

Comparison/Contrast paragraph:

Compare your topic to a synonym or similar topic that is close but not the same. This often produces a precise definition.

Contrast your topic to something that it is not, also known as negation. May produce a general or precise definition.

Illustration paragraph:

Give examples of the history or development of the topic.

Give examples of the topic in action.

Process paragraph: Explain in steps from step 1 to the final step how the topic works, happens, or is produced.

Argument paragraph:

Give two reasons pro or con and defend them.
