Questions - Case study -
Biz Training
Scenario 1:
Biz Training Inc. is considering buying a new online learning system to
enable them to deliver the training they do for their corporate clients. They
are looking at three different systems and the cost of each system is as
follows:
System A
|
System B
|
System C
|
$120,000
|
$100,000
|
$85,000
|
Scenario 2:
Biz Training is contemplating relocating to new premises. Two possible
sites are available with slightly different features and aspects. The
re-location will help them to be able to meet clients' needs more effectively.
Location A:
Investment required for the move = $10 million
Investment required for the move = $10 million
Location B:
Investment required for the move = $8 million
Investment required for the move = $8 million
Biz Training is a small corporation formed ten years ago by a group of
five professors. The five are the main shareholders but there is also a
shareholder who was a local businessperson who initially approached two of the
five to run a training course for her company.
In each scenario, evaluate the sources of finance that might be
available to Biz Training to carry out the projects outlined. (20
Points)
In doing this you need to be thinking of what types of finance may be
available and what the appropriateness of the finance available might be. Some
of the points available are going to be for knowledge - i.e. for you
recognizing the range of finance sources available, some will be for application
- how well you link the knowledge of sources of finance to the actual scenario
and case study given; some will be for analysis - being able to break down the
issues into key features and to identify the impact of these points and the
remainder will be for making a judgment about what, in the light of your
analysis, would be an appropriate source of finance in each case, from the
variety you have looked at, and why this is the most appropriate.
Remember, that there is no right answer to this type of question. You
will need to try to present a balanced account of the sources of finance and
how appropriate they are to this type of company.
Work out a written report in pairs and submit it by January
28th, 2015.
Be aware of that the paper will be graded. Copying
from classmates, the book or the Internet does not pay! Submit
your own individual work output!
Good Luck!
