Ah…Business PlanningBusiness Planning…either the most LOVED or DESPISED aspects of getting involved in a small business. The authors of “Beer School” provide a thorough explanation and discussion of the business planning process, their experiences (both positive and not so positive) and personal thoughts. For Assignment 10 , prepare a 2-3 page synopsis over the authors experiences and share your perspective on what they went through in preparing their plan.

What a business plan should consist of is often times dependent upon who you are talking to. Some say they want “short and to the point”, others say that the document needs to be comprehensive and thorough, while many successful entrepreneurs will say they started their business without ANYTHING on paper. Whomever you talk with, they will normally tell you that a business plan serves a couple of purposes….to serve as a ROADMAP for a business and to use to OBTAIN FUNDING.My experience working with small business clients early in my professional career found that those successful entrepreneurs who had nothing on paper had EVERYTHING in their heads! There were instances where they needed to get it out of their head and on to paper, especially when then needed to pursue additional capital or were getting ready to sell the business.Attached is a comprehensive article which discusses how to prepare a “great” business plan (yes…it has some age on it but good historical perspective) as well as a link to the SBA Learning Center’s video on business plans. For Assignment 10, peruse this article, the textbook chapter related to business plans, watch the video link, and prepare a 3-4 page narrative which discusses the business planning process. In the narrative, integrate the content and comprehensively discuss the all elements of a business plan, discussing their importance (or lack of in your opinion), and why the business planning process is important. Conclude your narrative discussing why having the information “on paper” could help with entrepreneurial successes.

Money and Financial Institutions Assignment #6You can type your answers or write them by hand and scan them using the camera on your phone/tablet. In either case, submit the file as a single pdf document. If you type your answers, it is important to save as a pdf before submitting – equations often get jumbled between computers.1. Bank panicsa. What role does asymmetric information play in causing a bank panic?b. How do liquidity and solvency problems interact during a banking crisis? (Address both how liquidity problems create solvency problems, and why insolvency fears cause widespread liquidity problems).2. The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)Consider a bank with assets of 100, capital of 20, and short-term credit of 80. Its assets include securitized assets whose value depends on housing prices. These assets have a value of 50.a. Set up the bank’s balance sheet. (Include 2 asset categories: securitized assets & other assets).Suppose housing prices decline. As a result, the value of the bank’s securitized assets falls by an uncertain amount, and are now worth between 25 and 45. These securitized assets are “troubled assets”. The value of other assets remains at 50. Due to the uncertainty about the value of the bank’s assets, lenders are reluctant to provide short-term credit to the bank.b. Given this change in the value of the bank’s assets, what is the range in the value of the bank’s capital?The government considers purchasing troubled assets, with the intention of re-selling them again when markets stabilize. (This was the original version of TARP).c. If the government pays 25 for the troubled assets, what is the value of the bank’s capital? How much would the government have to pay for the troubled assets to ensure that the bank is not insolvent?In the end, the U.S. government did not buy troubled assets. Instead, it provided capital to banks by buying ownership shares (to re-capitalize banks), with the intention of reselling the shares when the markets stabilize. The government exchanged Treasury bonds for ownership shares.d. Say the government exchanges 25 of Treasury bonds for ownership shares. Assuming the worst-case scenario (troubled assets are worth only 25), set up the bank’s new balance sheet.(Note: the bank now has 3 types of assets: untroubled assets, troubled assets, and Treasury bonds). What is the total value of capital? Is the bank insolvent?e. Given your work in this question, explain why recapitalization might be a better policy than buying troubled assets.3. The financial crisis:a. Describe the process of ‘securitization’ in your own words. How was securitization designed to spread final default risk (from the perspective of investors)? What assumption about the underlying mortgage risks must hold for mortgage backed securities to spread risk?b. What is the difference between the “originate and hold” model, and the “originate and distribute (or sell)” model?
