The BUSI 422 Week 5 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
Read the case in Group Wiki Scenario 2 and list the facts that matter: who is involved, what happened, what constraints exist. Separate facts from assumptions before analyzing anything.
Name the central problem
State the main problem in one sentence. Many cases contain several issues; the strongest answers say which one drives the rest.
Apply the course framework
Bring the course material to the case: the framework, theory or principle the week covers, applied explicitly to the facts you listed.
Weigh the options
Compare alternatives before recommending one. Each option needs its advantage and its risk stated in the terms of the case.
Recommend and justify
Make a clear recommendation supported by sources (The textbook and scholarly sources), with the first steps of implementation.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within Not set in the guide; a complete scholarly response.
Lay out the pro forma (gross income, vacancy, operating expenses, net operating income, debt service, before-tax cash flow) and compute the measures from it.
A structure for BUSI 422 Week 5 Group Wiki Scenario 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,000 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Scenario summary | The facts and question. | ~140 words |
| Analysis | Cash flows and returns. | ~440 words |
| Recommendation | The group's answer. | ~260 words |
| Sources | References. | ~160 words |
A topic angle that works
Chapters 9 and 10 cover income property valuation and investment analysis. If the scenario evaluates an income property, compute net operating income, the capitalization rate and cash-on-cash return.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The duplex's gross rent of $36,000 less 5% vacancy and $10,800 of operating expenses gives net operating income of $23,400. At a price of $360,000 the cap rate is 6.5%. With a $270,000 loan costing $20,500 a year, before-tax cash flow is $2,900 on a $90,000 down payment, a cash-on-cash return of 3.2%, low enough that the group recommends negotiating the price.
