    In regards to this week’s discussion, I would like to discuss the lapse in preventative measures that were neglected prior to the event in conjunction with the communication failures discussed by Cooper and Block in chapter 7.

    Intergovernmental relationships could be illustrated as something that works as with the Ricardo Morse administrative profile of Bill Gibson. Intergovernmental relationships as they are depicted in Starlings the Katrina Breakdown, illustrate the difficulties that arise when faced with a national disaster. The tensions develop when the various levels of governance as multiple stakeholders compete for authority, and resources.

The two articles for the summary: “The Katrina Breakdown” (Starling, 2005), & “Bill Gibson and the Art of Leading across Boundaries” (Morse, 2010) deliver extreme examples of intergovernmental relationships.…

    A. Suppose the company is considering a potential investment project to add to its portfolio. Calculate the following items: Before Home Depot calculates the net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), terminal value (TV), and modified internal rate of return (MIRR) of its newest potential investment project, the company must first calculate its free cash flows.

Next, the income tax (35%) is then subtracted from the resulting operating income to arrive at the company’s after-tax earnings before income tax.
