BB7201 Business Information Architecture.

Business Report

Comprises of two parts. Both parts must be submitted in the form of ONE business report.

Assessment Part 1.
The Task 50%
This individual assignment requires you to critically evaluate an online retailer of your choice and analyse how its EIA supports its business objectives. You may investigate which Information Systems (IS) and Technologies are currently used in that organisation or being planned in the future.
You will need to consider the positioning and Resource Based View of the organisation and identify how IT supports (or not) its strategic business objectives. You may wish to discuss the level of IT systems used (e.g. organisational, departmental, individual), and the perspective (i.e. consider the relevant stakeholders; users, managers, developers or consultants) and any features of the particular culture/environment.
The Reading List provided for the module should offer you some guidance on possible research approaches that you may adopt (NB There is no one right approach, so you may select, with clear justification, any approach that you feel is appropriate for the problem under examination).
Deliverable
A 2000 (maximum) word report, which should focus on business benefits for an organisation, and may contain supporting material as Appendices*.The report should include:
• a one page Executive Summary (indicating report aims, approach and findings). This is a standalone and concise summary of the whole paper, which is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper.
• a brief review of the current situation/background regarding the topic
• a clear methodology section outlining project aims/objectives and how the study was undertaken (with justification)
• a critical evaluation of the EIA strategy in business rather than technical terms
• clear statement of findings
• use of figures or tables to summarise points and aid readability
• a clear and comprehensive set of appropriate references (produced to academic journal standard using Harvard Referencing style)
(* not included in word count)
Marking Criteria are shown in attached Table, but you should also include:
• A clear and logical document structure, emphasising business/IT alignment
• A critical rather than descriptive stance
• Justification for statements made e.g. logical reasoning rather than unsupported statements, such as ‘this will be a good thing’
• Professional standards of presentation e.g. page numbering, spell checking, correct grammatical sentence construction, proof reading, clear list of references and neat page layout, with appropriate use of figures and tables. You should not use the first person in preparing the report.

Assessment Part 2.

The Task 50%
Based on the analysis conducted in Part 1, this assignment requires you to use the WordPress environment to develop a working eCommerce application which simulates an online retail operation. The style of presentation is left to your choice. It is recommended that you use the plugin WP e-Commerce (Note that when you install the WP e-Commerce plugin into WordPress you will find full documentation on how to use the plugin) as the foundation for this exercise, although you can use another plugin as foundation for the application if you wish. Whichever plugin you choose to use it must be enhanced by using other plugins to improve the application’s functionality. This could be via plugins which allow the application to:

• Track user access;
• Use a gallery for product images;
• Offer loyalty rewards to customers;
• Offer social media connectivity;
• Offer the customer a questionnaire;
• Offer HELP to new customers;
• Generate invoices.

This list is not exhaustive so you can be as creative as you wish. Credit will be given for the amount of innovation shown in your final application.

Instructions

Your submitted assignment should include the following (1000 words maximum):

1. A report which discusses the specification, design and implementation of your application;
2. A User Guide;
3. A disc or pen-drive containing your wordpress subdirectory with your application plus an exported wordpress database in an .sql file.

Both part 1 and 2 must be submitted in the form of a SINGLE final business report

Question 1

The current price of the stock Freezeco is £200. During each six-month period it will either
rise by 10% or fall by 10%. The interest rate is 6% per six-month period. (Assume puts here
are for one share). Show your calculations; do not just give an answer.

a. Calculate the value of a one-year European put option on Freezeco’s stock with an
exercise price of £200. (2 points)

b. Recalculate the value of the Freezeco put option, assuming that it is an American
option. (2 points)

Question 2

Plot the value of a two-year European put option (once again, for one share) with a strike
price of £20 on Jordi Co. as a function of the stock price. Jordi Co. has a constant dividend
yield per year of 5% and its volatility is 20% per year. The risk-free rate of interest is 4% per
year. Explain why there is a region where the option trades for less than its intrinsic value
(the value on a payoff diagram). Please either use excel or handplot increments of 1 in the
stock price over a range of S=10 to S=30. Also note that we need to evaluate the current
price of the stock excluding dividends prior to expiration (since a European option doesn’t
include the right to the dividends). Include the calculations and data points. (4 points)

Question 3

The price of oil is currently $25 per barrel. Next year it will either increase by 50% to $37.50
or fall by 25% to $18.75. A firm is considering investing in a new oil field, where geological
surveys show there are 4 million barrels of oil underground. If the investment goes ahead, it
must be paid for today, but the oil can be sold either today or next year. The cost of the
investment is $110 million, although the project can be cancelled next year, recouping $85
million if drilling has not already begun.

The discount rate is 5%. Assume that the probability of an increase in the price of oil is 50%.

a) Should the firm go ahead with the investment? What is the value of the option to
cancel the project next year? (2 points)
Suppose there is an election next year, and an opposition party has threatened to impose
windfall taxes on oil companies. This tax would be 20% of oil revenues, but only if oil prices
rise to $37.50. The management of the firm believes that there is a 20% chance of the
ractical Work Questions

opposition party gaining power. The management also believe that by making a political
donation to the incumbent today, they can reduce the probability of an opposition win to
10%, although the size of the donation still needs to be negotiated.

b) Would the firm go ahead with the project without a political donation? What is the
maximum amount the firm would be willing to donate? (2 points)

Question 4

You have recently been named CFO of a large corporation based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The CEO has asked you to raise R$12,000,000 (Brazilian reals) one year from now to fund a
future investment. The company has to raise the capital either through a U.S. (in US$) or a
Brazilian (in R$) based bank. The annual interest rates on U.S. and Brazilian bills are 1% and
10% respectively. The current exchange rate is R$1.8 per US$ and the futures price for
delivery one year from now is R$1.9 per US$.

a. Assume the interest rates and the current exchange rates given above are correct.
What should the futures price of one R$ be in US$ according to the covered interest
rate parity theorem? (1 point)

b. Given your answer in part (a), you should be able to benefit from an arbitrage
opportunity that would allow you to raise the necessary money at no cost for the
company. Why? (1 point)

c. Describe in a table like the one below the necessary actions (and associated cash
flows in R$) you need to take in order earn R$12,000,000 in one year at no cost. The
possible actions that you can take are lending in either currency, borrowing in either
currency, and buying or selling futures contracts. As above, the current exchange
rate is R$1.8 per US$1 and assume the actual future exchange rate in one year is X. (2
points) – look at table
