Bond and stock Valuation

Airnova Inc. has two types of bonds, Bond D and Bond F. Both have 8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond D has 2 years to maturity. Bond F has 15 years to maturity.

Airnova Inc. is considering four different types of stocks. They each have a required return of 20 percent and a dividend of $3.75 for share. Stocks, A, B, and C are expected  to maintain constant growth rates in dividends for the near future of 10 percent, 0 percent, and -5 percent, respectively. Stock D is a growth stock and will increase its dividend by 30 percent for the next four years and then maintain a constant 12 percent growth rate after that.

Discuss:
If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in both bonds?
If interest rates suddenly fall by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in both bonds?
What does this tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?
What is the dividend yield for each of the four stocks?
What is the expected capital gains yield?
Discuss the relationship among the various returns that you find for each of the stocks.

Social Inequality

Topic:
Does social inequality inevitably exist naturally or is it a creation by human society and in either case what is its purpose or reason for existence?
Proposal:
Unfortunately for most, we cannot deny the existence of social inequality in pretty much all societies. Is it then possible to decipher whether this is an unavoidable system of nature or a construct developed over time in societies due to human behavior? For either scenario, is there a purpose for its existence? Does social inequality perhaps serve the society in misconstrued ways that benefits said society and justifies its existence? The purpose of this paper is not to debate whether social inequality should exist or not, but rather to attempt to deconstruct the social construct that is inequality and its purpose. This is not an easy question to answer but luckily much exemplary work can be used to help direct us in the right direction.

SWOT alone is not sufficient to fully understand the current situation of a company. There are environmental factors and industry factors that need to be evaluated. Porter’s 5 Forces and PESTLE are very important strategic frameworks.
Because you only used one framework, you are essentially forced to use it to develop your strategy. How would you defend that the best strategic model is strengths/opportunities or weaknesses/threats? You did not discuss the relevance of frameworks and defend your choice.  You should choose one strategy. Diversification of the portfolio and geographic expansion are two very different strategies. SWOT is not sufficient to guide geographic expansion. PESTLE is a critical framework for this strategy.
You did not create a roadmap for your strategy (25 points). You need phases for product development with associated timelines, milestones and measurements.
You did not create an analytics plan (10 points)
You did not create an adaptive plan that reflects external uncertainties and how you could respond  (10 points).
