Prior to “coming back” to the HR world two years ago, I was an operations manager in the facility industry. I managed multiple accounts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and was the appointed “mentor” for our Manager in Training program. However, I always kept going back to the people side of the business and decided to pursue a career in HR. I then completed my undergraduate degree in Human Resources and shortly after obtained my SHRM certification as well as a specialty credential in People Analytics.
Presently, the firm is ran by the HR Director and owner of the company. We have a team of HR Managers, including myself, who are the consultants with assigned clients, and we also have specialists who oversee payroll and recruiting. All aspects of our team complement each other to provide a full outsourced service to our clients.
In my HR career I have witnessed discrimination in a “subtle” way, either by prejudice comments, jokes and actions. I do believe training and development about discrimination in the workplace is extremely important because it brings light to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

. This tell me that SBBC/BCPS takes the relevance of securing employees personnel information in all aspects of each person’s life. There is one point of contact for that vital department in getting personal issues resolved. SBBC/BCPS believes strongly in providing great customer service to its internal customers as well. 

On September 11, 2001, it was a devastating, unforgettable day in American history. I was seven (7) months pregnant with my 2nd daughter and was working in American Express’ (Amex) Executive Consumer Relations Department. Although American Express headquarters are in New York, New York, all of the phone calls and correspondence intended for the Chief Executive Officer (Kenneth Chenault at the time) and all of its global Vice Presidents, these matters were handled out of Amex’ Southern Regional Office (SROC) located in Plantation, FL. I received a telephone call from an irate caller. This man refused to allow me to assist him because of my race. He yelled at me that he refused to talk with a Black girl (although I was 34 years old) and requested my supervisor. Because of the day’s emotion running very high and the discovery of many loved ones being killed, I tried not to meet his level of emotion even though he was extremely upset. After waiting for the caller to finish venting, I expressed to him that yes he is correct that I am a Black lady who’s team leader is also a Black lady who reports to a Black lady and fortunately our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kenneth Chenault is a Black man! Now knowing this, will you allow me the opportunity of addressing your concern and I can assure you that your concern will be handled with the utmost importance and care. He said yes!

  In my work organization the HR structure is govern by the Mississippi Department of Education since it is a public school. Next in line is the school board, followed by the Superintendent, then the Principal, lead teachers, teachers and support staff. Currently at the school I work at the top HR professional is Principal Earl. She is the one that make sure the school is in compliance with the staff and students. Principal Earl reports to the Superintendent of Greenville Public School District. Also, Principal Earl has a Lead Teacher which she can delegate some things to her to lighten her load. Principal Earl has to make sure that the policies are strictly enforced. Teachers also helps enforce the rules while providing instruction to the students. Principal Earl tries to ensure that her staff is felt appreciated. She gives random treats to employees, provide food, and personalized items with the school name on it throughout the year. She corrects employees when they are wrong in a loving manner. Principal Earl seems like one of us teachers because of the relationship that she has with her employees. She also helps teachers with whatever they may need. She helps with lesson plans, cancels her non-negotiables if several staff members is overwhelmed.  Principal Earl gets the chance to give her input along with other principals about information that the Superintendent talks about in principal’s meeting. My principal sets up dates to restaurants just to fellowship outside of the school for anyone that wants to participates. She also encourages staff members to be there for their families. 
    I have witnessed discrimination at one of the elementary schools that I have worked. There was this teacher that had problems with their health. To me the principal during that time seem to have a problem with that employee. I truly feel as if the person’s disability had something to do with it. This teacher would miss several days of work due to their health. Also, some days the teacher would leave early because of her having seizures. Now, I actually thought she was doing a great job with her kids that she taught. Several employees were making references to what was going on. I did not do anything because I was minding my business. Actually, I was not around them all the time to know what exactly was transpiring. Now, there once was a time that I witnessed when the teacher came to tell other teachers that she was going home because she just had a seizure. I guess sometimes we as individuals turn a blinds eye to some things to keep from getting involved in certain situations. I was not in the room when the teacher was evaluated to know how her performance was in her classroom. I feel like everyone should be treated fairly even if they have a disability. After thinking about this situation, I wished that I had stepped up and at least tried to speak out about it.

You have recently been hired as a Financial Analyst in the Finance Department of Zeta Auto Corporation which is seeking to expand production. The CFO asks you to help decide whether the firm should set up a new plant to manufacture the roadster model, the Zeta Spenza. Deliverables: Write a report providing the CFO with your recommendation whether Zeta should set up the plant to produce the Spenzas and support your recommendation by in-depth analysis in Excel. In your report, explain the results of each portion of your analysis (represented by the tabs on the Excel template).

Introduction:
You have recently been hired as a Financial Analyst in the Finance Department of Zeta Auto Corporation which is seeking to expand production. The CFO asks you to help decide whether the firm should set up a new plant to manufacture the roadster model, the Zeta Spenza.
Deliverables:
Write a report providing the CFO with your recommendation whether Zeta should set up the plant to produce the Spenzas and support your recommendation by in-depth analysis in Excel. In your report, explain the results of each portion of your analysis (represented by the tabs on the Excel template). Submit all the completed Excel worksheets with the completed responses to the questions posed to support your report and recommendation. Report should include a one-page Executive Summary summarizing the results of your analysis and recommendation.
Project Data
To assess the suitability of the project you begin by listing the various cash flows. A consultant has been paid $50,000 to do a market survey. She reports back that Zeta can price Spenzas at $80,000 per car and sell 5,000 cars next year (in year 1), then sales will peak at 7,000 in year 2 and after that they will start declining with 6,000 Spenzas sold in year 3, 4,000 in year 4, and 3,000 in year 5. After that the sales decline won’t make manufacturing of Spenzas profitable. The consultant also estimates that introduction of Spenza model will cannibalize the sale of an existing model, the Zeta Monza, resulting in 1,000 fewer units of the Monza sold in each of the 5 years. Monza’s are priced at $65,000.
After 5 years it is expected the Spenza will be phased out, and the plant will be put to other uses generating cash flow of $15 M annually.
The cost of setting up the plant is to be $250 M with annual manufacturing capacity of 10,000 cars. It is a one-time capital investment made at the very beginning of the project. In addition, at the beginning of each year the plant will require an outlay of Net Working Capital equal to 4.75% of direct manufacturing costs (excluding labor and overheads) in the coming year. The NWC outlay will be recovered at the end of the project in year 5.
The CFO provided you with historical information about Monza’s cost structure (Excel sheet attached) and noticed that Spenza will have the following differences:
· Spenza’s body will be made from reinforced carbon, which makes the car lighter, thus significantly improving mileage range per battery charge. About 80% of the carbon cost is the cost of energy and the estimated carbon cost body per car of $14,000 is based on electricity cost of 7 cents /per kWh, which is the current cost of electricity in Michigan, where the plant will be located. This cost is 70% of the average nationwide retail electricity price. EIA nationwide electricity cost projections for future years are provided in the Excel sheet.
· Battery Pack cost for Spenza is $15,000 per car.
· Cost of materials for engine and other parts will be identical to Monza’s.
· Labor cost of $4,000 per car is based on annual production of 10,000 Spenza’s. Labor is unionized; number of workers and wages do not depend on the number of units produced.
· Overheads at the new plant will be identical to total overheads at the existing Monza plant.
IRS allows you to straight line depreciate the cost of the plant over 4 years for tax purposes (equal depreciation in all years and not an accelerated schedule of depreciation). You have a choice to use 3 year MACRS depreciation schedule (see the Excel sheet attached)
If you recommend setting up the plant, you should also consider that the plant will occupy a piece of land which the firm could put to other uses. These alternative uses would earn the firm $15 M annually.
Modeling Financial Metrics and Cash Flows
Depreciation
You have to decide whether Zeta should set up the plant to produce the Spenza’s by answering the following series of questions. After having enumerated the various cash flows you are now ready to analyze the project using capital budgeting techniques and project analysis methods.
· What will be the depreciation for tax purposes from the investment in the Spenza plant using the straight line method? What will be the depreciation using MACRS? Which schedule would you recommend to use?
EBIT
· What will be the costs and revenues for the first four years? What will be the incremental EBIT (Earnings before Interest and Taxes) each year?
Interest and Taxes
You now have to need to determine interest costs and taxes. Assume that the cost of setting up the plant will be 50% financed by debt with an interest rate of 7%.
At this point you are getting closer to the cash flows the project will produce, and need to determine the tax rate. You research tax rates and determine that the appropriate tax rate after the tax reform is 21%.
· What incremental taxes Zeta will pay if the Spenza plant is set up?
Net Income
· What will be the Net Income for Zeta from the project each year?
Incremental OCF
Now you can calculate the net increase in cash flows from the project.
· What will be the incremental OCF (Operating Cash Flow) each year?
Free Cash Flow
The next step will be calculating FCF taking into account OCF and other incremental cash flows, including opportunity costs!
· What will be the FCF (Free Cash Flow) each year?
WACC and CAPM
The next step will be estimating WACC. Using Yahoo Finance! or other financial sources available on the course website find auto-making industry’s beta, market risk premium and the risk free rate.
· Estimate the WACC using the earlier assumption about the project’s financing and the CAPM equation for the cost of equity.
Decision Criteria – NPV and IRR
Now you are ready to calculate the first criterion that is used to assess projects.
· What will be the Net Present Value of the project?
You should also calculate another widely used criterion.
· What will be the IRR of the project?
Analyzing Risk using Scenario Analysis
You consider the electricity cost and projected sales volume as two major factors affecting your variable costs and revenues. Therefore, you would like to perform some additional analysis to check the project’s sensitivity to electricity costs and to sales volumes. You want to analyze these two factors separately, one at a time.
As was mentioned EIA has several electricity cost projections (Excel sheet, tab Energy Prices Forecast). First you decide to see how your recommendations might change under different cost scenarios.
· Perform scenario analysis on the electricity cost and present the summary of results.
Given uncertainty of sales volume forecast, you would like to look at optimistic and pessimistic scenarios for sales. Optimistic scenario assumes sales volume to be 500 cars more than predicted (i.e., 5,500 cars in year 1, 7,500 in year 2 etc.). Pessimistic scenario assumes sales volume to be 500 cars less than predicted (i.e., 4,500 cars in year 1, 6,500 in year 2 etc.).
· Run scenario analysis on the sales volume and present the summary of results.
Break-even Analysis
Next, you would like to find the maximum electricity cost in year 1 at which the project would still be advisable. For simplicity assume 0.5% annual growth of electricity costs.
· Find the break-even value for the electricity cost in year 1.
Monte Carlo Simulation (extra credit 5%) – ATTENTION, THIS PART IS OPTIONAL
Finally, you would like to perform a Monte Carlo simulation. Possible distribution assumptions are provided in Excel Spreadsheet tab “Crystal Ball Simulation,” but you are welcome to make (and explicitly state) your own and use Random Numbers generator in Data Analysis Pack.
· Based on your analysis, what is the probability that the project will be profitable?
[
Crystal Ball] You also want to estimate the sensitivity of your project to different factors.

· Using Crystal Ball, please create a Tornado Diagram and discuss its results.
