Financial Policy and Planning

On May 31, I began working for Northwestern Mutual in downtown Nashville. Northwestern Mutual is a Fortune 500 life insurance and financial planning company. Since then, my title hasn’t just been intern or college intern and I wasn’t just doing busy work or making copies for people. Northwestern Mutual treats their college interns as full time representatives with all of the daily jobs and responsibilities that full time employees handle. Northwestern gave me the title Financial Representative and sent me on my way to make a difference in peoples’ lives by giving them the opportunity to gain financial security through live insurance and financial planning.

The economy can be impacted by the U.S.government through two major types of economic policy. The first type is called fiscal policy, which is economic policy instigated by the President or by Congress. The fundamental tools at the disposal of these branches of government are taxation law and government spending. By changing tax laws, the government can effectively affect my personal finance by modifying the amount of disposable

Discounted cash flow analysis in Exhibit 12 We do not know the beta for Interco’s equity. Therefore, it is not possible for us to estimate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for Interco. Note that here WACC method is appropriate because Interco is not

1.a) To value Spyder Active Sports Inc., we decided to use the WACC method since we can easily value its cost of assets with the data immediately available to us in the case. We first unlevered the beta’s of 7 comparable companies and took the average to get a comparable unlevered beta for Spyder (Exhibit 1). Since we are assuming Spyder is entirely equity financed, its unlevered asset beta is equal to the beta of its assets. We now have a rough estimate of Spyder’s asset beta, we can

WACC calculations entailed several different steps prior to using the actual WACC formula. First, by using CPP’s balance sheet we identified its D/E, by dividing Debt portion by the Equity portion arriving at 2.07, than we calculated D/V – 0.67 and E/V – 0.33. Afterwards, we used comparable firm Wackenhut’s capital structure for our analysis and applied it to our calculations. Wackenhut’s capital structure consisted of 92% equity and 8% debt. Subsequently, we went through the Beta unlevering and then levering process using above capital structure. To unlever, we multiplied given beta of 0.89 by the debt portion of capital structure 0.92, than we relevered the Beta_e=(1+D/E 2.07) * unlevered Beta 0.82 = 2.51. Next step consisted of calculating R_e=R_f+beta_e*MRP= 8.6%(given)+2.51*7.5% (given)=27.41%.

Financial planning during this economic crisis can be very stressful and draining. I have a limited income coming from a modest allowance that my retired husband gives me monthly. This is supported by a meager amount that I receive from Social Security Disability benefit. I have a mantra to stay positive on my financial outlook which gives me psychological and spiritual strength, and this is.."In God, I Trust". Yes, and this is my adherence to the US national motto that can be found on all currency of the United States of America, In God We Trust. By faith, I never feel miserable even if my resources are just enough for survival. I know that there is a Supreme Being up there who sees that my needs and that of my family are met. I wake up
