GRADED DISCUSSION WEEK 7

Please note that if you edit your initial  response (Original Post), you will not get  credit for the Original  Post. The discussions are set up as "Must post first". 

In your initial response to the topic you have to answer all questions.

1)  For your first topic in this discussion I would like for you to briefly  review either your personal experiences and/or the financial literature  to identify and present a description of one actual capital  project/product success and the reasons attributed to the success.

Remember  this is a one to two paragraph exercise – do not go overboard – a few  hours research and summation is all that’s required. I am interested  only in your short, concise description of the project and the major  reasons you believe it was successful.

2) In your response please provide financial information  regarding the project (what is available): initial outlay, projected  cash flows, dollar profits.

3) Synthesize your one-paragraph position on what 3-5 specific  factors you believe most likely to contribute to capital project  analysis success.

4) Reflection – the students also should include a paragraph in the initial response  in their own words reflecting on specifically what they learned from  the assignment and how they think they could apply what they learned in  the workplace.

You are expected to make your own contribution in a main  topic as well as respond with value added comments to at least two of  your classmates as well as to your instructor.
