MFA 3033 – CORPORATE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

SEMESTER I 2022/2023
Group (15%) and Individual Assignment (15%)
Case Analysis

The purpose of this task is to give students the experience in identifying and solving issues/problems
related to topics in corporate finance thru the case analysis. Students should give suggestion with proper
justification and evidence in solving the issues. Students should present the writing in a professional
way.

GUIDELINE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

(a) Students are required to form a group of 5 students per group.

(b) Students are required to analyze and discuss the case study with the group members.
(c) Students are required to answer all the requirement in the given case.
(d) Format:
 Cover page
 Rubrics
 Table of content
 Font: Times New Roman (size 12), Spacing: 1.5, justified
 Length: Minimum 2 pages, excluding references and appendices, if any.
 Kindly ensure the report contains minimal typos and grammatical errors. You may check for
any errors in your essay via https://app.grammarly.com/.
(e) Submission:
 Softcopy:
This assignment needs to be submitted by Monday, 26th December 2022 (11.59 pm)
via GOALS in a form of PDF file. Please rename your file as ‘CLASS – MATRIX NO’.
Example: TMB1 – 1191234.

LATE SUBMISSION WILL NOT BE COMPROMISED, AND MARKS WILL BE DEDUCTED

ACCORDINGLY.

(f) The rubrics need to be attached with the report on the second page (after the cover).

(g) Students need to book an appointment with the respective instructors in discussing and evaluating
their work.

Level of Assessment
Interpretation:

information into various
mathematical forms (e.g.,
equations, graphs, diagrams,
tables, words)
Calculation
Application / Analysis

RUBRIC FOR ASSESSMENT OF INDIVIDUAL WORK (CLO2)
4 (Capstone)
A- Proficient/Excellent
Provides accurate explanations of
information presented in
mathematical forms and makes
appropriate inference. For example,
explains data shown in a graph and
makes predictions for what the data
suggest about future events.
Skillfully converts relevant
information into an insightful
mathematical portrayal in a way
that contributes to a further or
deeper understanding.
Calculations attempted are
essentially all successful and
sufficiently comprehensive to solve
the problem. Calculations are also
presented elegantly (clearly,
concisely, etc.)
Uses the quantitative analysis of
data as the basis for deep and
thoughtful judgments, drawing
insightful,
Explicitly describes assumptions
and provides compelling rationale
for why each assumption is
appropriate. Shows awareness that
confidence in final conclusions is
limited by the accuracy of the
assumptions
(SUM OF ITEMS 1-5); TOTAL SCORE =____ (TOTAL= 15%)
NUMERICAL (PLO7)
3 (Milestones)
B- Very Good
Provides accurate
explanations of information
presented in mathematical
forms. For instance,
accurately explains the
trend data shown in a
graph.
Competently converts
relevant information into an
appropriate and desired
mathematical portrayal.
Calculations attempted are
essentially all successful
and sufficiently
comprehensive to solve the
problem.
Uses the quantitative
analysis of data as the
basis for competent
judgments, drawing
reasonable and
appropriately qualified
conclusions from this work
Explicitly describes
assumptions and provides
compelling rationale for
why assumptions are
appropriate.
2 (Milestones)
C- Average/Fai
Provides somewhat accurate
explanations of information presented
in mathematical forms, but
occasionally makes minor errors
related to computations or units. For
instance, accurately explains data in
a graph, but miscalculates slope of
the trend line.
Completes conversion of information
but resulting mathematical portrayal
is only partially appropriate or
accurate.
Calculations attempted are either
unsuccessful or represent only a
portion of the calculations required to
comprehensively solve the problem
Uses the quantitative analysis of data
as the basis for workmanlike (without
inspiration or nuance, ordinary)
judgments, drawing plausible
conclusions from this work.
Explicitly describes assumptions
1 (Benchmark)
SCORE
D - Poor
Attempts to explain information
presented in mathematical forms,
but draws incorrect conclusions
about what the information means.
For example, explain data shown in
a graph, but will misinterpret the
trend, perhaps by confusing
positive and negative trends.
Completes conversion of
information but resulting
mathematical portrayal is
inappropriate or inaccurate
Calculations are attempted but are
both unsuccessful and are not
comprehensive
Uses the quantitative analysis of
data as the basis for tentative,
basic judgments, although is
hesitant or uncertain about drawing
conclusions from this work.
