Underlying Assumption There are two possible solutions that we suggest earlier to solve this case, the first one is for Temasek to keep their shares in ABC Learning and the second is to sell it. We have several underlying assumptions to support each of our proposed solutions, that will help us to weigh the cost and benefit of them in order to rationalize our final decision. For keeping their shares, we have two main reasons. The first one is because Temasek has acquired a significant percentage…

It used data flow diagrams to represent user requirements and a technique known as functional decomposition to update and refine the method. The data flow diagram describes how data flows between sources, data processing, and storage. Individual elements that are placed in data flow diagrams are described further in the data dictionary (Bansler and Bodker). With the use of these two elements, a common…

identify which firm characteristics determine corporate cash holdings decisions. Thus, the corporate cash holding determinants have since been a subject of explanation in the framework of: the trade-off theory, financial hierarchy theory and free cash flow theory. 2.1.1 Trade-Off Theory The literature on trade-off model about cash explicitly applied to companies is usually traced back to Tobin (1956), and Miller and Orr (1966). According to the trade-off theory, firms set their optimal cash…

Valuation Methodology In order to value Graincorp’s stock, this report used two-stage discounted cash flow (DCF) model. This model is chosen considering that Graincorp is in the mature stage, with the characteristics of paying high dividends and has a high leverage. Moreover, management stated that they are building another silos by this year, so it is assumed that Graincorp will have an increasing growth for several periods and will drop to the stable growth afterwards. Hence, the first stage…

Treasuries and yield dollar denominated foreign government bonds. The end result is a DCF value denominated in U.S. dollars. * 2. The second approach is to discount foreign cash flows using a foreign WACC, and then translate the foreign DCF into a dollar DCF using the spot exchange rate. However, a major drawback to this method is that betas are not estimated for many stocks in emerging markets, so often the only way to estimate…

Introduction According to Schilling (2012), developing innovative novel projects in order to initiate products or services really takes considerable time, uses a tremendous budget, as well as is extremely risky. As mentioned in Schilling (2012), there are a lot of evidences that indicates the majority of projects is failed. Consequently, it is important for each organization to emphasize on considering which projects are worthwhile for the investment and time-consuming and whether the…

Data Flow Diagrams The existing system data flow identifies users interact with the new system. It also highlights the relationship of the legacy data to the new patient record database. Appendix F contains the source file for the diagrams below. The legacy conversion data flow identifies how legacy records will be converted and accessible to the new system. The IT technician will gather paper records for patients based on our prioritization. The records will be scanned, coded and formatted…

Introduction The need for relevant information and analysis of capital budgeting alternatives has inspired the evolution of a series of models to assist firms in making the "best" allocation of resources. Capital budgeting is determining how much “the firm pay to finance its operations using debt and equity sources?” (Coo, 2024, p. 373). It helps the company decide which projects will be profitable and when a return can be expected. Adjusted Present Value (APV) and Net Present Value (NPV) Net…

Thermal dispersion mass flow meters, often called thermal mass flow meters, rely on the transmission of heat from a body to a gas flow. Inside the flow meter sensor head, a heated resistance thermometer (RTD) is electronically compared with an unheated RTD sensor. As a gas passes the heated RTD, heat is transferred from this sensor to the gas, and hence the RTD is cooled, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the two sensors. Heat transfer from the RTD to the process gas is based…

preliminary data for TARA that shows the technique is sufficiently sensitive to detect 0.005 fmoles of synthetic RNA template by eye and/or a smartphone scanner using transfer reaction molecular amplification and GNP signal amplification alone on a lateral flow strip (See Figure 3). Moreover, there was no background signal from no template control (non-templated transfer, Figure 3A) or a single base mismatch RNA template (Figure 3C). The reaction conditions are 150 nM A probe, 100 nM G probe…
