Writing about Digital Camera ( 4 Phases)

Getting Started:
Your first step is to “conduct research” that will help you make a sound decision regarding the purchase of a new digital camera. You will need to use the Web in order to complete your research project. There are four (4) “Phases” to your assignment. If the announced deadline is not met for a specific Phase, points will not be recorded for that Phase.

Phase One—Preliminary Investigation Phase

First, do some broad research on the subject of “digital photography”.  Briefly explain what it is (definition), what advantages there are to digital photography over “film” photography and how digital photography has developed over the past five or six years. You must use at least 3 Web sources for your research.

Second, develop a list of potential uses for a digital camera (a minimum of five). For example, you may want a digital camera to take family photos, to use digital photos in developing a web page, etc.

Third and most important, develop a list of factors that you will use to buy the camera itself. Your purpose during this step is to develop 8-10 criteria or rating factors that you will later use to rate three (3) possible cameras under consideration. For example, when you buy a new camera, one of your criteria may be cost. At this point, a smart decision maker would not be thinking at all about which specific camera to buy, but instead deciding on what criteria or factors he or she will use in evaluating each possible model (the possible models come later). For example, when you plan a vacation, one of your criteria may be nearness to the beach. So remember, you must first come up with the rating criteria before you decide on the camera itself. Criteria (rating factors) will be different for different people, but the criteria you choose should reflect your research and not someone else’s!!

Phase 1 Checklist – 100%
o    Minimum One Page document in MS Word
o    Background on “Digital Photography”
o    (50% – definition, advantages over film,  and advances in digital technology over the past 5 years.
o    A “bullet” list of at least five (5) uses of a digital camera – (10%)
o    A “bullet” list of at least eight (8) criteria to rate your camera – (15%)
o    The URL of at least three (3) web sites you used in your research – (25%)

Phase Two—Weighting the Evaluation Criteria

First, based on the 8-10 criteria or rating factors you used in Phase 1 of your Research Project, decide what weight or importance each criterion should have, given your particular needs and purposes. Enter the criteria and their weights into an Excel workbook. The only requirement is that all the criteria weights must add up to 100%, and the weights should reflect the importance or ranking criteria you are assigning to each specific criterion. For example, cost may be the most important factor in your list.  You might give it a “weight” of 40% while color may only get a weight of 5%.

Open Microsoft Excel 2010, Type the following information in the cells (blocks you see).  Enter your own criteria and weights which should equal to 100.  Please make sure that the weight is in a percentage format.  For example 50% or .50.

Phase 2 Checklist – 100%
o    Work completed using  MS Excel – 25%
o    Minimum 8 criteria – 25%
o    Criteria total equals one hundred percent – 50%

NOTE:  The instructor recommends that all students submit the work 1 day early from the assigned date to avoid any technical problems.

Phase Three—Gathering Specific Information+ Taking Notes:

First, using the 8-10 criteria or rating factors you used in Phases 1 and 2 of your Research Project, collect specific information on three (3) different digital cameras.  Visit several different web sites where you can gather specific information about each of your three choices.  The three cameras should at least have a majority of the criteria you would use if you were to purchase a camera.  You must include the information taken from the web site(s) when you turn in Phase 3.

Use Excel and type your notes.  A sample handout will be provided that shows how to setup your worksheet for phase III. This is a continuation of phase II, so you will have to open phase II and create a new sheet and rename it phase III

Phase 3 Checklist – 100%
o    Inclusion of at least 6 web address-  25%
o    Proper formatting of worksheet – 75% (sample provided)

NOTE:  The instructor recommends that all students submit the work 1 day early from the assigned date to avoid any technical problems.

Phase Four—Putting Together the Final Project

Your completed spreadsheet will evaluate the three specific cameras you choose to research.  It should be formatted like software assignment #1 with appropriate labels, values and formulas.  You will also have to create a chart (column, pie, line, etc) that properly compares two or more characteristics from your phase III.

In addition, you will need to create a Word document in APA format.  You should build upon phase I, and then present a detailed explanation for why you chose the camera you plan to purchase (use information from phase IV worksheet). You should discuss the choice you selected, the rating criteria selected and the rational for the ranking of the criteria in an essay of 1000 words minimum.  You must cite information that you incorporated from phase I and phase III in the final phase (phase IV).  You are presenting your final decision here and explaining all of the background for arriving at that decision. The ratings you assigned each camera should reflect your final decision.

In addition, you will create an appendix that documents four or more ethical issues associated with digital cameras or related technologies.  Next, you will research two emerging technologies related to digital cameras.  Finally you will highlight benefits and limitations of those emerging technologies.

Phase 4 Checklist – 100%
o    Spreadsheet that is formatted similar to software assignment #1 with accurate and relevant data (50%) – a sample will be provided
o    Word document in APA format that meets total number of words requirement, recommendation that supports data from spreadsheet, and appendix information (50%)

4. It is advised that you write your assignment within approximately 3,500 words

Work below

You are the Finance Director for a relatively new company, Vista Palace Ltd. The company has been in existence and trading as a Limited company for the last three years. Business has been going well, and they have begun to achieve a decent market share. The company now feels that the time is right to take the next step and try to grow the business further. Their initial idea is to develop a retail outlet; they have the required contacts, but do not have a suitable retail space. With this in mind they have tasked you with the objectives of:

1. Sourcing £1m additional finance;

2. Analysing the case for the proposed capital expenditure (new retail space);

3. And in light of their performance to date, analysing the impact of the decisions above on the company‟s future financial performance
These three elements are considered in the tasks outlined next. Work through each task providing numerical and discursive answers as required. Where appropriate and possible integrate academic source material to support your analyses. When doing so ensure you adopt the Harvard style of referencing.
A series of appendices have been included which will assist you with undertaking the requirements of each task.

Specific tasks are detailed below:

Task Assignment Requirement Tasks link to the following LOs

1a Identify the main benefits of forming a Limited company, as Vista Palace Ltd have done, as opposed to a sole trader or a partnership.

1b Given Vista Palace Ltd’s desire to invest in new retail space, identify the potential sources of finance available to the company? Consider both long term and short term sources of finance, offer definitions, advantages and disadvantages for each of the sources you identify. You should present your answer in a table format.

1c Recommend which source(s) you would suggest using to finance the proposed investment; give brief reasons for your recommendation and discuss how each source would impact on a company’s financial statements.

2a Explain what is meant by weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and given the information in Appendix 3, calculate the WACC of this proposed investment (show your workings).

2b Using the figures provided in Appendix 3, and the WACC calculated in Task 2a, calculate the payback and net present value of the proposed investment.
Based upon these calculations, state what recommendation you would make about the investment and why?  What reservations might you have about how reliable your recommendation is likely to be?

3a Appendix 4 provides a 6 month cash flow forecast for one of Vista Palace Ltd’s existing outlets. Firstly discuss the differences between profit and cash. And then, using Appendix 4, comment on the main trends and messages contained within the cash flow forecast (Appendix 4).

3b Identify different groups who may have an interest in the company’s cash flow statement and discuss the different interests that these different groups may have. Also explain why a company may be profitable but run into problems with its liquidity.

3c Using four financial ratios analyse Vista Palace Ltd’s profitability and liquidity over the three year period (two years of actual results, and one years’ worth of budgeted future results after the capital investment has been undertaken). Use the financial statements given in Appendices 1 and 2.
