The purpose of the midterm is to step back from the specific personal finance products

The purpose of the midterm is to step back from the specific personal finance products and services and consider the question of how to develop a winning personal financial plan. The midterm requires you to write approximately four pages(double-spaced) and answer the following questions: Assuming the average American consumer does not actively develop a personal financial plan, who is most likely to influence personal financial decision. Provide three examples of so called ‘financial advisors’ one would meet along as consumers become adults and consume financial products. From mortgages, to the credit card offers in student unions, to the cashier offering an extended warranty – use these and other examples and explain if these individuals are likely to have your best interest in mind at the point of purchase. 2. Explore the resources American consumers have to develop a financial plan and educate themselves regarding the purchase of financial products. Using examples of both small and large financial product decisions, provide a description of what an informed consumer would look like. What resources would they consult prior to purchase and how do those resource help that consumer make informed and wise choices consistent with their financial goals? 3. Consider why some people are not deliberate in making a personal financial plan. What forces work against making informed financial decisions?

The Discussion for this week will once again give you the opportunity to analyze a public company’s financial statements. Discuss with your colleagues the cost flow assumptions presented in these statements. Why did the company choose these assumptions? What types of inventories did they report? Locate the annual financial report you selected in Week 1. Look at the balance sheet and the notes to the financial statements (particularly Note 1). With these thoughts in mind:   Post at least 200 words addressing the following points: What cost flow assumption did the report use? Why do you think the company selected this cost flow assumption? How many different types of inventories did the company report on its balance sheet? Identify those inventory categories. Would the company be required to account for its inventories differently if it were reporting under IFRS? Why or why not? WeekOne.docx

Summary: Reflect on your professional or personal abilities and create a shortlist of 5-10 key

Summary: Reflect on your professional or personal abilities and create a shortlist of 5-10 key capabilities you have developed over the years, either through work experiences, academic achievements, or other endeavors (or challenges). You may use results from self-assessments such as The Big Five Personality, StrengthsFinder, Global Competencies Inventory, Myers-Briggs, etc. If you have those, please consider them as a starting point to your reflection, and write your own narrative that integrates them. Then, consider each capability in terms of their component parts: tangible, intangible, and human resources. (Recall that we define a capability as a group of resources.) Then, carefully apply the VRIO/N criteria to each capability you have identified, and rank order the capabilities, based on their potential for a sustained professional advantage. Then, make a list of weaknesses, defined here as capabilities you think are important for your career, which you are lacking. Then, share your findings with one person you trust, who knows you well, and who is unafraid to be honest with you (family, friend, coworker, classmate, etc.) and ask them to reflect back on your list, by adding, subtracting, or verifying. Your written assignment will consist of a reflection on the exercise above. Consider answering the following questions, but don’t be limited by them: – What have you learned about yourself and your professional capabilities in the process of this exercise? – In what ways could you transition from capabilities to core competencies in key areas? What specific steps would you have to take to obtain the VRIO/N advantage in one or more areas? – What did you learn about yourself from discussing your Strengths and Weaknesses with a person who knows you and who you trust? Any surprises? – If you are asked in a job interview about your strengths and weaknesses, would you be able to provide answers that are considerate, deep, and and well thought out? Would you be able to answer this question in a way that helps you stand out from other job candidates? Format: – use a business memo format. About 300-500 words. You may append the capability analysis to the reflection, if you would like to show how you completed it.
