Relocation

XYZ International has just offered you a position in their office in China. How will you respond? What are your concerns? What about your family? How long will the relocation be?

• Select one of the stages of negotiation and write a dialog of how the conversation may go between you and your supervisor that has offered this relocation.
• Work with a classmate or friend and record this dialog.

A recorded dialog should be 3-5 minutes. If you choose to write the conversation it should consist of at least 1,500 words and use APA formatting (Type face: Times New Roman - 12 point, with a cover page.)

Please identify the individuals (full name) in the recording and the roles they played.

To record audio here are three suggestions:

1. Use a voice recorder app on your smartphone and transfer file to your computer
2. Install free, open source application Audacity for PC or Mac (link here)
3. Use the internal microphone of your laptop and Sound Recorder tool found in the Accessories menu of most versions of Windows

Financial Plan Final Draft

Continued from last week. Complete the remainder of the plan by developing the following:

1. Year 2: Quarterly income statements and cash flows; year-end balance sheet.
2. Years 3-5: Year end statements of income, cash flow and balance sheet. (Note: if you are using the Moyes template go to 5 years; if you used the SCORE template, it only goes to 3 years—don't jump through hoops to do years 4 and 5.

Note: Use the same spreadsheet you started with last week. Hopefully you used one of the available templates and this is just a matter of adding on more years. Be sure to include the key assumptions from last week on one of the sheets of the workbook.
Please combine both assignments into the final draft which includes the components in this order:

1. A list of key assumptions that drive your financial model. It is strongly encouraged that you find comparable companies and use industry ratios to justify your assumptions.
2. Year 1: Monthly and year-end income statements and cash flows; year-end balance sheet.
3. Year 2: Quarterly income statements and cash flows; year-end balance sheet.
4. Years 3-5: Year end statements of income, cash flow and balance sheet.

Financial Plan (First Draft)

This week, you will build your draft financial plan. You only need to do it for the first year. You will have a chance to carry the plan out to the out years in next week's assignment. For this week complete the following:

1. A list of key assumptions that drive your financial model. It is strongly encouraged that you find comparable companies and use industry ratios to justify your assumptions. Assumptions should be on one of the pages of the spreadsheet workbook. ONLY SUBMIT ONE FILE!
2. Year 1: Monthly and year-end income statements and cash flows; and a year-end balance sheet.

Note: Use Excel or compatible spreadsheet to build your first year pro-forma. Templates are available here to make this MUCH easier.
