The goal of this assignment is to understand the principles of project valuation and capital budgeting in a practical setting, using a combination of fictitious data and real-world examples. Begin by proposing a fictitious project for a hypothetical company. This can be any type of project-expanding a product line, launching a new service, entering a new market, etc. Provide a brief overview of the project, including the expected benefits, the target market, and any initial capital requirements. Complete the following steps in your journal:
Cost of capital analysis: Identify the different types of capital the hypothetical company would need for the project. Estimate the cost of debt, preferred stock, and common stock using assumptions based on typical industry figures. Justify your assumptions. Apply the dividend growth model where relevant and calculate the company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
Capital budgeting and cash flows: Categorize your project (e.g., replacement projects, expansion projects). Lay out the expected cash flows for the project for a defined period (for example, 5 years). Calculate the net present value, internal rate of return, and profitability index of your project. Estimate the payback period for your project.
Real-world comparison: Use the CSU Online Library to research at least two real-world project valuation cases relevant to your fictitious project or industry. Compare the financial metrics (e.g., NPV, IRR, payback period) of these real-world projects to your fictitious project. Discuss any significant deviations between your project and the real-world examples.
Reflection and conclusion: Reflect on the data-driven decisions you made throughout your fictitious project’s proposal and financial feasibility analysis. Document these decisions in your journal. Summarize key learning points and any potential managerial issues that may arise during the real-world implementation of such a project.
Use tables, charts, or graphs to present your data and financial calculations wherever applicable. Ensure that your journal has a clear structure, with distinct sections for the proposal, cost of capital analysis, capital budgeting and cash flows, real-world comparison, and reflection and conclusion. Remember, the purpose of this assignment is not just to perform financial calculations, but to critically think about the feasibility of projects and make informed, data-driven decisions.
Your journal should be between 1,500 to 2,500 words. All sources, including the real-world project valuation cases, should be properly cited in APA Style. Submit your assignment as a single document

In his book Leadership in Organizations, Yukl (2013) conceptualises leadership by organisational level.  These levels can be viewed as a hierarchy as depicted below:
General Managerial Work Functions
Level (Yukl, 2013)
Chair, Board Director, Chief Executive Officer
Organization
Senior Manager
Group
Supervisor/Team Leader/Line Manager
Dyadic
With reference to each of these leadership levels, consider an organisation you have knowledge of and analyse how the leadership has responded to today’s turbulent environments. 
In your answers, please provide a brief overview of the organisation you have chosen to provide context.

Personal Experience with the Primacy Effect
During my freshman year in college, I attended an introductory lecture for a psychology course. The professor began the  with a captivating story about a groundbreaking experiment in cognitive psychology. This story not only caught my attention but also sparked my interest in the subject. Throughout the semester, despite numerous subsequent lectures and information, that initial story remained the most vivid in my memory.
Why It Fits the Primacy Effect
This situation fits the primacy effect because the first piece of information—the professor’s engaging story—had a lasting impact on my memory. Despite being exposed to a plethora of information throughout the course, the initial story was what I remembered most vividly. This can be attributed to the deeper cognitive processing that often accompanies the first encountered information, making it more memorable (Kahana, 2012).
Personal Experience with the Recency Effect
Last year, I attended a three day professional training workshop. On the final day, the trainer summarized key points and provided actionable takeaways in the last session. Although the workshop covered extensive material over several days, I found myself recalling the summary and takeaways from the last session more clearly when discussing the workshop with colleagues later.
Why It Fits the Recency Effect
This scenario exemplifies the recency effect because the last session’s information was freshest in my memory. The actionable takeaways presented at the end of the workshop were easier to recall, likely because they were still within my short-term memory span (Murdock, 1962). The recency of the information made it more accessible and memorable when reflecting on the workshop’s content.
Personal Experience with the Frequency Effect
In my current job, one of my responsibilities involves using specific software for data analysis. At first, I found it challenging to remember the various functions and commands. However, after using the software daily for several months, I became proficient in recalling and applying the commands effortlessly.
Why It Fits the Frequency Effect
This experience illustrates the frequency effect because repeated use of the software ingrained the functions and commands in my memory. The continual exposure and repeated practice reinforced my ability to recall the information without effort. This aligns with the concept that information encountered frequently becomes more memorable through repeated cognitive reinforcement (Ebbinghaus, 1885).
