Two teams will be selected to represent the two companies, City Casuals (Retailer) and ACE Fashions (Supplier). A scenario is given, which outlines the issues facing both companies and identifies a number of opportunities and problems for each group to consider and resolve. Each of the two designated teams will be expected to prepare and deliver a negotiating position that addresses the specific issues / problems facing their company. The position will have to be put to and negotiated with the other team, during a timed negotiation presentation, and result in a mutually acceptable resolution for both companies. A key feature of the desirable win-win solution that each team should aim for is to achieve the maximisation of opportunities for both sides going forward.

-Alice (A) recommends using the base assumptions above: 3 year project life, flat annual savings, 10% discount rate Answer
– Bill (B) recommends savings that grow each year: 3 year project life, 10% discount rate and a 10% compounded annual savings growth in years 2 & 3. In other words, instead of assuming savings stay flat, assume that they will grow by 10% in year 2, and then grow another 10% over year 3 in year Answer
Carla (C) believes we use a higher Discount Rate because of the risk of this type of project: 3 year project life, flat annual savings, 15% discount rate. Answer
Danny (D) is convinced the machine will last longer than 3 years. He recommends using a 5 Year Equipment Life: 5 year project and savings life, flat annual savings, 10% discount rate. In other words, assume that the machine will last 2 more years and deliver 2 more years of savings. Answer

2) What are some of the non-financial elements that need to be considered for this proposal? Answer

Refine and pose a reasonably complex problem definition along with a set of objectives (elements that you want to exist in your solution). Do not go beyond the objectives stage.

Remember: Objectives are the desirable traits of a potential solution. They are not alternatives and they are not action steps. This can be tricky, so think carefully and evaluate your list!

1.Provide your view and just enough background detail to allow the reader to understand the problem and objectives.
2.The length should be between 550 and 800 words (excluding the title page and references). Assignments under 550 and over 800 words will attract penalties.
3.Formal writing is required using APA.
4.Copied input, quotations, and paraphrasing require citations and references conforming to APA 6th edition standards to avoid the dire consequences of plagiarism and cheating. Formal research is not required.
