Welcome to the School of Business and Economics

usiness Administration
Business Administration prepares students to work in a range of industries, businesses, and nonprofits. The program allows students to choose from a variety of elective courses to create a particular area of concentration—marketing or management, for example— within the Business major. Many of our graduates work in the finance and insurance industries.
  • Business Administration Program
    • Enrollment Requirements
    • Program for Majors
    • Program for Minors
    • Courses
    • Academic Standards

For those of you pursuing a Business major (with or without a concentration) AND planning to graduate in December 2011, keep this in mind as you select your courses for Spring 2011:
You should be getting most of your Business core classes completed, so that in Fall 2011 you will be taking at most ONE core Business class at the same time as Bus. 480, the capstone class.
In Fall 2011, Prof. Mihm and I will be co-leading a semester abroad in London. Prof. Mihm will be in London for the first half of the Fall semester; I will be in London for the second half of the semester. Therefore, our course offerings will be more limited.
In Fall 2011, there will be only one section each of Bus. 370 and Bus. 480, and they will be offered during the same time slot. The Bus. 480 class will run, in condensed form, during the first eight weeks of the semester and Bus. 370 will run, in condensed form, during the last eight weeks of the semester. These condensed classes will meet twice a week, for 2.5 hours each session (5 hours total class time per week).
This is not a requirement, but you may find it easier to set up your Fall schedule if you leave Bus. 370 until then, to be taken at the same time as Bus. 480. In other words, you might prefer to take OTHER core classes this coming Spring semester. 
Economics
Economics is a fascinating and challenging social science that deals with such issues as resource allocation, the efficiency of economic actors, inflation, unemployment, discrimination, economic growth, pollution and poverty.

These problems affect us as members of society concerned with how our economic system functions and as individuals concerned about our own jobs, wages, taxes and the cost of living. Economics is about choice - how to make rational choices between competing uses of scarce resources in light of social and personal values and needs. One of the main reasons to study economics is that it develops a method of thinking and analysis that can be applied to a variety of different fields. The Economics major offers courses in a variety of areas to allow students to choose among various career objectives and also prepare them for admission to graduate school in economics, law, business administration, public administration, and other disciplines.

bussines values

Business valuation results can vary considerably depending upon the choice of both the standard and premise of value. In an actual business sale, it would be expected that the buyer and seller, each with an incentive to achieve an optimal outcome, would determine the fair market value of a business asset that would compete in the market for such an acquisition. If the synergies are specific to the company being valued, they may not be considered. Fair value also does not incorporate discounts for lack of control or marketability.
Note, however, that it is possible to achieve the fair market value for a business asset that is being liquidated in its secondary market. This underscores the difference between the standard and premise of value.
These assumptions might not, and probably do not, reflect the actual conditions of the market in which the subject business might be sold. However, these conditions are assumed because they yield a uniform standard of value, after applying generally-accepted valuation techniques, which allows meaningful comparison between businesses which are similarly situated.

Economic conditions

A business valuation report generally begins with a description of national, regional and local economic conditions existing as of the valuation date, as well as the conditions of the industry in which the subject business operates. A common source of economic information for the first section of the business valuation report is the Federal Reserve Board’s Beige Book, published eight times a year by the Federal Reserve Bank. State governments and industry associations also publish useful statistics describing regional and industry conditions.

Guideline companies method

This method determines the value of a firm by observing the prices of similar companies (guideline companies) that sold in the market. Those sales could be shares of stock or sales of entire firms. The observed prices serve as valuation benchmarks. From the prices, one calculates price multiples such as the price-to-earnings or price-to-book value ratios. Next, one or more price multiples are used to value the firm. For example, the average price-to-earnings multiple of the guideline companies is applied to the subject firm's earnings to estimate its value.
Many price multiples can be calculated. Most are based on a financial statement element such as a firm's earnings (price-to-earnings) or book value (price-to-book value) but multiples can be based on other factors such as price-per-subscriber.
It is very important to note that valuation is more an art than a science because it requires judgement:
  1. There are very different situations and purposes in which you value an asset (e.g. company in distress, tax purposes, mergers & acquisitions, quarterly reporting). In turn this requires different methods or a different interpretation of the same method each time.
  2. All valuation models and methods have their limitations (e.g., mathematical, complexity, simplicity, comparability) and could be widely criticized. As a general rule the valuation models are most useful when you use the same valuation method as the "partner" you are interacting with. Mostly the method used is industry or purpose specific;
  3. The quality of some of the input data may vary widely
  4. In all valuation models there are a great number of assumptions that need to be made and things might not turn out the way you expect. Your best way out of that is to be able to explain and stand for each assumption you make;

Business cycle accounting

Business cycle accounting is an accounting procedure used in macroeconomics to decompose business cycle fluctuations into contributing factors. The procedure was introduced by V. V. Chari, Patrick Kehoe and Ellen McGrattan but is similar to techniques introduced earlier. The underlying premise of the procedure is that the economy has a long run trajectory which is perturbed by various frictions. These are called wedges and the earliest version of the procedure includes a productivity wedge, a labor wedge, an investment wedge and a government consumption wedge. Business cycle accounting decomposes fluctuations in macroeconomic variables, such as GDP or employment, into fluctuations of each of these wedges (and their combinations).
Business cycle accounting has been done for various countries and various periods of time. The procedure suggests for the U.S. after World War II most fluctuation in GDP is due to fluctuations in the productivity and labor wedges.

Calculating EVA


EVA is Net Operating Profit After Taxes (or NOPAT) less the money cost of capital. Any value obtained by employees of the company or by product users is not included in the calculations. The basic formula is:
 \mathit{EVA} \ = \  ( r - c ) \cdot K   \ = \  \mathit{NOPAT} -  c \cdot K
where:
  •  r = {  \mathit{NOPAT} \over K } , is the Return on Invested Capital (ROIC);
  •  c \, is the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC);
  •  K \, is capital employed;
  • NOPAT is the Net Operating Profit After Tax, with adjustments and translations for the amortization of goodwill, the capitalization of brand advertising and others.
EVA Calculation
EVA = (r-c) x Capital
EVA = (r x Capital) – (c x Capital)
EVA = (NOPAT- c x Capital
EVA = operating profits – a capital charge
where: r = rate of return, and
c = cost of capital, or the weighted average cost of capital.
NOPAT is profits derived from a company’s operations after taxes but before financing costs and noncash-bookkeeping entries. It is the total pool of profits available to provide a cash return to those who provide capital to the firm.
Capital is the amount of cash invested in the business, net of depreciation. It can be calculated as the sum of interest-bearing debt and equity or as the sum of net assets less noninterest-bearing current liabilities.
Capital charge is the cash flow required to compensate investors for the riskiness of the business given the amount of capital invested.
The cost of capital is the minimum rate of return on capital required to compensate debt and equity investors for bearing risk.
Another perspective on EVA can be gained by looking at a firm’s Return on Net Assets (RONA). RONA is a ratio that is calculated by dividing a firm’s NOPAT by the amount of capital it employs (RONA = NOPAT/Capital) after making the necessary adjustments of the data reported by a conventional financial accounting system.
EVA = (Net Investments)(RONA – Required minimum return)
If RONA is above the threshold rate, EVA is positive.
