Miami Dade College Net Present Value Payback IRR Pro Forma Sunk Costs Responses

Discussion 

Students will need to post a link to an article from the Wall Street Journal regarding a current event (something in the last 60 days before each post) regarding a topic of their choice from related Chapters.

The Post 

Here are some topics to consider from the chapters 8 – 10:

Investment criteria – net present value, payback, IRR, Pro Forma, sunk costs, opportunity costs, net working capital, depreciation

Capital market, return, and risk – expected returns, risk, historical record, volatility, portfolio, announcements, systematic risk, diversification, beta, idiosyncratic risk. 

• Please summarize the article/events, comment on how it relates to the chapter materials, and how it applies to the real-world and Financial Management issues.
• You will be evaluated on how current the article is, how closely it relates to the topics in the chapters and the quality of the contribution to the discussion in class. Your post should be 200-250 words.
   

The Response

Once you have posted your article, visit two of your fellow classmate’s article posts and provide some feedback.  “I agree/disagree” or “Great Article” is not acceptable. Provide a response that pushes that conversation forward.  How this affects you or how you think this will affect a business or certain market.
