Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirement

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a business requirements document and a Gantt chart or project plan (I have attached the files from Project 1 and the template for this assignment, please review them for continuity). You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment for which it is written. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Procuring quality business requirements is an important step toward the design of quality information systems. Completion of a quality requirements document allows user needs and expectations to be captured so that infrastructure and information systems can be designed properly. Using the requirements document provided in the course shell, you are to speculate on the needs of the company. You must consider current and future requirements; however, assumptions should be realistic and carefully considered.

Section 1: Business Requirements Document

1. Write an eight to ten (8-10) page original business requirements document for the project plan using the template provided. Note: The template is included in the attachments, please review it.

a. Describe the project including the following:

i. Describe the scope and analyze how to control the scope.

ii. Identify possible risks, constraints, and assumptions.

iii. Describe the integration with other systems and infrastructure. Note: Database and interface design, security, and networking should be considered.

iv. Define relevant terms that will be used throughout project.

b. Use at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

*** I have attached my phase 1 assignment for review

Your next assignment as a financial management intern is to apply the knowledge that you acquired while engaging in the cost of capital discussion that you had with your colleagues. In this task, you will be calculating the weighted cost of capital for a firm using the book value of the components and the concepts presented in this phase.

Using the most current annual financial statements from the company you analyzed in Phase 1, determine the percentage of the firm’s assets that are currently be financed with debt (total liabilities), preferred stock, and common stock (common equity). It is very possible that your firm will have very little or no preferred stock, so in this class, the percent would be “zero.” Your ratios should add up to 100%. You will also need to calculate the firm’s average tax rate using the income tax expense divided by the firm’s income before taxes. Use the following tables:

The first component to determine is the cost of debt. You mentor suggests using the Web site that you used in the previous Phase to find the pretax yield-to-maturity of a bond with at least 5 years left before maturity. Using the following table, calculate the firm’s after-tax cost of debt:

Now you will need to calculate the cost of preferred stock. You can use the following table:

To calculate the cost of common equity, you can use the CAPM model. Using current stock data, the yield on the 5-year treasury bond, and the return on the market calculated in Phase 2, you can calculate the cost of common equity using the following table:

Now, you can use the cost and ratios from above to calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using the following table:

• After completing the required calculations, explain your results in a Word document, and attach the spreadsheet showing your work. Be sure to explain the following:
  • How would you expect the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to differ if you had used market values of equity rather than the book value of equity, and why?
  • What would you expect would happen to the cost of equity if you had to raise it by selling new equity, and why?
  • If the after-tax cost of debt is always less expensive than equity, why don’t firms use more debt and less equity?
  • What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of raising capital by using debt?
  • How would “floatation costs” impacted the WACC, and how could they have been incorporated in the formula?

Imagine you own a taxi cab business – ABC Taxi. One evening, Melissa Smith stood outside her downtown hotel, hailing a cab. The driver of an ABC Taxi, Max Speed, came to a screeching halt at the curb. Ms. Smith opened the rear door of the taxi and began to climb inside. As she climbed inside, Ms. Smith placed her right hand on the roof of the car where the top of the door would close. Suddenly, the cab driver accelerated, causing the rear door to slam shut onto Ms. Smith’s hand. Ms. Smith suffered broken bones in her right hand and wrist. She also suffered a neck injury as she was thrown against the back seat when the taxi lurched forward. Mr. Speed later explained that he accelerated suddenly to avoid being struck by a shuttle bus, which he thought was about to collide with the taxi when he saw it approaching very rapidly in his rearview mirror.

Write an evaluation of this case in a minimum of 1,400 words in which you include the following:

• Identify some of the potential torts that might arise from this business context.
• Explain whether or not the driver for the company, Max Speed, is liable for any of the injuries Ms. Smith suffered.
• Explain whether or not the company, ABC Taxi, is liable for any of the injuries Ms. Smith suffered.
• Discuss ways to prevent or mitigate the risk of the potential torts.

Cite a minimum of 4 scholarly references.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
