Valuation is the estimation of an asset’s value, whether real or financial, based on variables perceived to be related to future investment returns, on comparison with similar assets, or, when relevant, on estimates of immediate liquidation proceeds (Pinto, Henry, Robinson, Stowe; 2010). Correct valuation of real assets can present challenges to financial analysts. Different models can be used to arrive at the closest estimate of value and yet certain issues will always arise. This case attempts to tackle two approaches in real asset valuation: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis and the issues surrounding such, as well as the Black-Scholes Model for Real Options. Questions to be addressed in the study are:

This week I began my 6-week internship at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska (BCBSNE). The first day was a common orientation for all new employees, internally denoted to as the “onboarding process” where all employees are told they matter. This full-day session communicates the core mission, vision and goals of BCBSNE, organizational structure, operating objectives, and workplace culture. BCBSNE is a not-for-profit health insurance company that is focused on collaboration to find the best solution for their customers; in other words, they are customer-focused. Since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many changes to the health insurance market required a change in the organizational structure and culture of BCBSNE. Through partnerships with providers, the goals of BCBSNE are to be responsive, accountable, minimize errors, and decrease costs – all components of the ACA. BCBSNE has strategically aligned their goals to those of the government-mandated goals, and implemented them at all levels of the organization, making them competitive in the health insurance market. I found this very fascinating: I was very excited after day one!

The internship orientation was a three day process. The first day was spent with the human resource department reviewing the employee handbook and completing employment forms. I took a tour of the office and was introduced to the project managers, estimators, administrative assistants, and the IT department. I was taken out to lunch by the same managers that interviewed me at the career fair. The second day was designated for safety. I watched an OSHA video and reviewed the company’s safety manual. Once I completed the video and read through the manual I was able to receive my PPE. Typically on the second day of the orientation, the safety manager takes the new employee to visit a jobsite to view safety hazards and proper safety practices. Due to poor weather conditions, I was unable to attend the safety site visit. On the second day I was scheduled to go to lunch with the executive team. The third day of orientation

The main task of my internship was to gain more experience and knowledge of our respective field. Overall, the experience proved to be both enjoyable and rewarding.

Such as performing Urine test on Drug and alcohol patients. For this procedure I had to stand in the restroom with the patient's and watch them urinate into a cup.

So me being involved in 3 AP classes, 2 Pre-AP classes, and 2 different clubs one of which I was president, I was nervous as to how I would handle that load.

The program followed the outline of four modules;

My internship has allowed me to see the real side of medicine—that it is more than just “playing doctor” --it is hard work and calls for dedication to your profession. It has helped me to understand that going into the healthcare field requires passion for helping and caring for people. I can see this every day in the nurses and surgeons I work with and enjoy working alongside

There had to a summary what had happened, the information from the detainee, and the affidavit report that goes to the judge. During this day I was also able to see what the procedures that the jailers have to follow are. First they get all of your information and your finger prints, and then they search you for anything that is not allowed after they confiscate everything that you had and they put them in a vacuum sealed package that is place in a secure place after that they give the detainees there jail apparel and take their picture.
