You will be given a scenario to analyze from a fiscal perspective to determine which option would be best financially for your company. In real life, you could have a team of bankers, lawyers, financial managers, and in some cases stockholders, to help inform your decisions. Regardless of the support in place, for the executive leader, it comes down to experience evaluating the data and how the leader communicates the best course of action for the organization to influence others.
For this summative assessment, you will act as an executive leader for ABC Company. In this scenario you must make a recommendation for one of two financial strategies for the company to increase shareholder satisfaction and make ABC stock more attractive to investors: 
Strategy 1: Is expected to result in a market price of $100 per share of common stock at the present time and a price of $120 five years from now. 
Strategy 2: Is expected to result in a market price of $80 at the present time and a price of $140 five years from now.  
What would you recommend? Assume that other aspects of the organization will not be affected by the decision being considered to reduce confounding impacts.
Your recommendations should include the calculations based on NPV/FV distributions and the strategy of the organization. You must explain the rationale behind your recommendation and represent your understanding of financial management including cash flow, distributions, and any other integral concepts you used to inform your response.
For this summative, you should follow the APA format for the narrative and any figures or charts you include

Unit 6: Strategic Management Accounting
In the 1980s, management accounting was criticised for becoming too internally focused on operational issues and providing little help to managers in making strategic decisions. Simmonds introduced the term Strategic Management Accounting (SMA) in 1981. Simmonds defined SMA as “the provision and analysis of management accounting data about a business and its competitors, for use in developing and monitoring business strategy”.
SMA provides managers with a range of business models which can assist them in making decisions. SMA recognises the role of political, economic, socio-cultural and technological factors in determining the success of a business and, therefore, advocates that managers consider these factors before making strategic decisions.
In this unit we shall:
Explore the function of Strategic Management Accounting
Examine how Strategic Management Accounting assists decision making
On completion of this unit you will be able to:
Examine the role played by strategic management accounting as a distinct branch of accountancy
Explain how concepts developed under strategic management accounting assist decision making.

https://myebooks.mheducation.com/login 
Question: Is it possible to achieve zero inventories?  Why or why not?  How do the following factors affect a company’s ability to achieve zero inventories: product variety, product quality, level of production automation, product complexity, product lead time, incoming component quality, variability in supplier lead times, and length of supplier lead times.

Instructions for completing the discussion posts:
Short Answer Discussions Posts
The first post will be a response to the discussion question.  In the second and third posts you will reply to your own thread with two (2) real-world examples of actual companies (like Nike, Intel, Dutch Brothers, etc.) that demonstrate how the company applies the key concept(s) discussed in the question and explain why. The assigned questions have been selected from your textbook’s end of chapter exercises.
Each question response post should be between 80 and 130 words.
Examples should be labeled as Example #1 & Example #2 and each should be between 80 and 130 words.
To get 100% for the company posts, Examples need to be researched and discuss what is done at a specific company and include an external reference. Examples that are opinions or do not identify a specific example of a company will receive at most 50% credit.
All discussion posts are due on Fridays by 11:59 PM, but they can be completed at any point up to the due date.
Discussions have unlimited submissions, and only the most recent submission is graded.
You will be able to review fellow group members’ responses after creating your post.
Please keep in mind you are writing 3 sections of maximum 130 words each.  Grand total of 390 words.  
Firstly respond to the questions above. Second, pick a real life company example to support the question in this discussion post, apply the concepts/reference to the textbook and solid interenet source details. Third, pick a second real-life example company to back up the original position of this post.  
Please label each section. Question response, example 1, & example 2. 
Please be sure to upload a turnitin report. Thank you, kindly.

International HRM Group Discussion
Students,
This term, this assignment must be completed with your Group.
Please visit the International HRM Web-based Resources page within Canvas.
With your team (or individually – see above to verify how the discussion is assigned this term), surf as many of the links as you like.
Select a minimum of two and then have only one team member hit reply to this discussion.
This will enable you to type directly into the discussion (although you should always type in Word first then run spell/grammar/punctuation/syntax checks first, then copy and paste into the reply post).
Do not upload a file. Doing so will warrant an irreversible zero for you (and your team if this is a team project this term).
Write your team number at the top of your post. Follow it with your participating team member names. Then write the names of any non-participating team member names, unfortunately they will have earned an irreversible zero, per the syllabus. No exceptions, no extensions, this is a group project, group activities do not qualify for makeups.
Begin an enumerated Header with First Website, then write 3 bullet points on what you learned from the first website you chose to discuss.
Begin an enumerated Header with Second Website, then write 3 bullet points about what you learned from the second website you chose to discuss.
Regarding what to type in the bullet points:
Being brief here and not showing in-depth research into each site you chose will warrant an “incomplete”. Sentences can be as long as you deem necessary, but should not be so short that they do not show proof of understanding/insight/knowledge (run-on sentences are not recommended). You may type paragraphs in each bullet.
Think of them as mini-essays that help you make a clear, focused point. Though there is no word length requirement, it would probably take 200-300 words to make a clear and compelling explanation of what you learned.
Just be sure not to have less than three bullets per website you reference.
Note: Please remember that you will complete items 1-7 within the same discussion reply with your group, as a post, not as a file upload or an external link. Uploading a file will likewise warrant a zero for the team. 
Entering separate (or more than one) replies (by different members of the same team or by the same team member) will warrant a zero for the team, (as instructor has no way of knowing which reply your team wishes to be graded as the final submission), per the syllabus.
When the grade for the assignment is set to “complete/incomplete”, there will be no partial credit.
Work with your team (during terms when this assignment is a group project), be communicative, participative and know that if they work ahead of schedule and without you, your zero will remain irreversible, as this assignment opens the first day of the term.
Rubric:
The discussion post will be graded according to the following rubric (some terms may use this rubric to base the grade of “complete” or “incomplete” – in those cases, there is no partial credit):
1-2 = a simple and unoriginal point that simply restates or rewords someone else’s point.
3-5 = a somewhat original take on an aspect or application of the material.
6-8 = an original point that presents a new angle on the material and is competently tied to the text material.
9-10 = a very original point that also reflects an advanced understanding of the material, contains no grammatical/punctuation/spelling mistakes as well as is competently tied to the text material and contains at least one link to an outside source, like an article, a post, or otherwise accredited and verifiable (not our lectures, PowerPoints or our textbook).
