FNCE3001 Walden Week 5 Assignment: BondsIn the midst of World War II, the U.S. government began issuing defense bonds, later calling them war bonds once the country entered the war. Although the citizens who purchased the bonds could have received a better return on their investments elsewhere, they took comfort in knowing that their investment would help with their country’s war efforts and there would be a guaranteed return. Even through the deadliest and most costly war in history, people felt assured in the security that was provided through the purchase of bonds. Even today, investors and organizations can rely on the same security that bonds provide. Organizations may also consider the option of issuing bonds in order to raise money for projects and operations. Therefore, it is important for financial managers to understand aspects of bonds, such as how sensitive they are to interest rates and how some features benefit issuers, while others benefit investors.For this Assignment, you will answer a series of questions related to bonds.Photo Credit: Public domainTo prepare for this Assignment:Review this week’s Learning Resources.Refer to the Academic Writing Expectations for 2000/3000-Level Courses as you compose your Assignment.BY DAY 7Submit your responses to the following prompts.How are the price and the Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) of a bond related?

The movie “The Martian” can be viewed through the framework of project management. There are two different but simultaneous projects going on in The Martian. One is the survival project of Mark Watney and the other is the project aiming to save him. Watney has the right skills for his survival project: he’s a botanist, he knows how to repair a broken Pathfinder and the most important thing is he doesn’t panic even in his first day alone on Mars. On the other hand, he’s not alone in this project. The members of the ‘remote’ team helping him are trying their best to achieve their goal. This is a good example for the importance of the communication between the team even if they are far away!

The movie can be rented on YouTube for $3.99. Below is the link…
