This week, you should write a 250-500 word reflection on your observations, in response to the following prompts: What do you notice as you look back at the various tables that you ate around in these last five weeks? Who did you eat with? What did you gain from those meals? Where there any particularly memorable instances of table fellowship? As you look at the role of table fellowship in the ministry of Jesus (for instance, Luke 5:27-32; 7:36-50; 15:1-2; 19:1-10, among others), and at Jesus’ explicit instructions about hospitality (for instance, Luke 14:1-24), how do your experiences of table fellowship compare? What similarities or differences do you notice? In light of Luke’s Gospel, are there ways that you would like to change your practices around tables in the future?

You are trying to estimate the value of a property that you are interested in buying. The subject property is located at 322 Rock Creek Road in a new suburb of a large metropolitan area. The property is like many others in the area, with three bedrooms, two baths, a living room, a den, a large kitchen, and a two-car garage. The residence has about 1,800 square feet of air-conditioned space and is of traditional design. The property is located on an interior lot with no potential flooding problems. The quality of construction appears to be about average for the market area. The property being purchased was built within the past two years. Three properties have been chosen as comparables and they also were constructed within the past two years.

Comparable properties in the area have the following characteristics:

  Comparable I Comparable II Comparable III

Address 123 Clay Street 301 Cherry Lane 119 Avenue X

Sale price $ 96,200 $ 89,500 $ 85,000

Time of sale 6 months ago 7 months ago 13 months ago

Design Modern Traditional Traditional

Parking 2-car garage 2-car carport 1-car garage

Location Corner lot Interior lot Interior lot

Drainage Good Below average Good

Bedrooms Four Three Two

Baths Two Two Two

Construction Average Average Below average

You have come to some conclusions concerning what you believe the different attributes of the comparable properties are likely to be worth in the market area. Appreciation in house values in the area has been very low over the past eight months, and you think that any properties that have sold within that period would probably not require any adjustments for the time of sale. However, one of the comparable properties sold over a year ago, and you think it will require a $1,700 upward adjustment. You also believe that properties in the area that are located near the creek sell for about $1,400 less than other properties in the area because of a slower rate of runoff after heavy rains. Properties on corner lots generally sell for a premium of about $1,200. Houses with the fashionable modern design usually bring about $1,200 more than those that have traditional design characteristics. Because three-bedroom homes are considered desirable by buyers in the area, an additional fourth bedroom will generally only add about $1,450 in value to a property. However, properties that contain only two bedrooms are rather difficult to sell, and often bring $2,200 less than their three-bedroom counterparts when they are sold. Most homes in the area have a two-car garage, but when properties have a one-car garage, they usually sell for about $1,000 less. A two-car open carport generally reduces the value of the property by $1,050. The inferior construction quality exhibited by comparable III should reduce its value by about $1,700.

Required:

a. Complete the sales comparison approach to value and assign an estimate of value to the subject property.

a. Sale price for property 1, 2, 3

b. Time of sale for property 1, 2, 3

c. Location for property 1, 2, 3

d. Site for property 1, 2, 3

e. Design for property 1, 2, 3

f. Construction quality for property 1, 2, 3

g. Number of bedrooms for property 1, 2, 3

h. Garage for property 1, 2, 3

b. A second approach using the cost method of valuation will also be used to estimate value. Comparing vacant lot sales in the market area indicates that the value of the lot the subject property is constructed on is $18,000. Air-conditioned space in the dwelling would cost about $36.00 per square foot to reproduce, and the garage would cost approximately $4,200 to reproduce. Complete the cost approach to value, assuming that, because the property being valued is relatively new, no depreciation of the structure is required.

2. An investor is considering the acquisition of a distressed propertywhich is on Northlake BankREO list. The property is available for $201,200 and the investor estimates that he can borrow $160,000 at 4.5 percent interest on an interest-only loan and that the property will require the following total expenditures during the next year:

Inspection $ 518

Title search 1,036

Renovation 13,000

Landscaping 836

Loan interest 7,200

Insurance 1,818

Property taxes 6,018

Selling expenses 8,000

Required:

a. The investor is wondering what such a property must sell for after one year in order to earn a 20 percent return (IRR) on equity. Sale value of property is?

b. The investor is now concerned that if the property does not sell, he may have to carry the property for one additional year. The investor believes that he could rent it (starting in year 2) and realize a net cash flow before debt service of $1,560 per month. However, he would have to make an additional $7,200 in interest payments on his loan during that time, and then sell. What would the price have to be at the end of year 2 in order to earn a 20 percent IRR on equity? Sale value of property is?

3. You have an opportunity to acquire a property from First Capital Bank. The bank recently obtained the property from a borrower who defaulted on his loan. First Capital is offering the property for $284,000. If you buy the property, you believe that you will have to spend (1) $11,900 on various acquisition-related expenses and (2) an average of $3,400 per month during the next 12 months for repair costs, and so on, in order to prepare it for sale. Because First Capital Bank would like to sell the property as soon as possible, it is willing to provide $264,000 in financing at 4.25 percent interest for 12 months payable monthly (interest only). Your market research indicates that after you repair the property, it may sell for about $334,000 at the end of one year. Furthermore, you will probably have to pay about $4,400 in fees and selling expenses in order to sell the property at that time.

Required:

a. If you wanted to earn a 20 percent return compounded monthly, do you believe that this would be a good investment?

b. What would you need to sell the property for in order to achieve the 20 percent return?

5. A potential home buyer is wondering about her credit card accounts and the effect that they may have on her credit score which will be evaluated when she applies for a mortgage loan. At present, she has three accounts with credit limits and balances outstanding as follows:

She would like to transfer the balance in account number 2 to account number 3 in order to save the membership fee and because the interest charges for account number 2 are higher than the others. If she does this account number 2 would be closed.

Account Limit Outstanding Balance

(1) $ 5,000 $ 3,650

(2) 12,000 5,650

(3) 15,000 8,650

Required:

a. How much credit capacity is she currently using? As a percent

b. If she cancels account number 2 and transfers the balance to account number 3, what will be the capacity used now?

c. After the transfer, how much would an increase in the total credit limit have to be in account number 3 to restore the total capacity used in all accounts prior to the transfer?

Notes:

Waves Metaphor of Feminist History

If you have ever been involved in a discussion on feminist history, chances are you have heard these histories discussed as waves. Feminism is often described  in terms of a first, second, third and/or fourth wave referring to specific historical moments in which feminist resistance and the fight for equal rights have risen like a wave in an ocean before crashing down. While it helps organize how we think of the history of major feminist goals, this metaphor has also been critiqued for being a bit incomplete and thus problematic. The reality is that these fights for equality do not stop “between” waves. Instead the movements inform and support each other and often provide critique in order to expand and strengthen these efforts. The “waves” also tend to focus on narrow segments of gender and feminist movement, centered on the needs and actions of white, middle and upper class women without as much consideration for abolitionist, Civil Rights, and queer movements. Because they are still so commonly discussed, it is helpful to know the “waves” while remaining critical.

First Wave- Citizenship & Suffrage

This week you will read up on what has come to be called the First Wave of the Feminist Movement which took place in the late 1800s and into the early 1900s as white, middle and upper class women famously fought to grant basic citizenship rights for women to earn money, own property, and to vote. At the same time, many activists were focused on abolitionist movements that fought to end slavery and racial oppression alongside gender based oppression. 

In the US, women didn’t earn the right to vote until 1920.  However, while the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote, it did not address ongoing issues of voter suppression based on race and other factors. State laws in many places deliberately kept many Black Americans from voting by using poll taxes and literacy tests as well as turning a blind eye to violence and lynching used to scare people from the polls. Black women wouldn’t fully have access to the right to vote until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

In addition to the reading,Links to an external site. you can learn a bit more about these early movements by watching these short videos:

Video: The Historic Women”s Suffrage March on Washington

  Video: A Bite Sized Guide to First Wave Feminism 

 

Second Wave- Liberation

One of the reasons the wave metaphor persists is because it often seems that once a major feminist victory is “won” that movement ends and new one begins. As we discussed last week, people start to believe that the need for equality movements end because one goal is achieved. i.e. “You got the right to vote, what else could you possibly want?” The Second Wave of the Feminist Movement framed as beginning in the 1960s answered that question by fighting for women’s liberation from the limiting expectations placed on women as secondary citizens subjected to legal harassment and discrimination.

Just like women’s suffrage was connected to abolitionist movements, the women’ liberation movement was influenced and shaped by the Civil Rights Movement. Activists brought issues of race and gender oppression into the political sphere and declared that the personal is political. The “women’s libbers” made many advancements that we directly benefit from today, such as legislation against violence within the home and the workplace, laws against sexual harassment, widespread access to birth control, abortion, and other aspects of reproductive freedom, as well as expanding rights to political and financial access.

One of the specific and largest goals of the 2nd wave was the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), a proposed Constitutional Amendment that guarantees rights to all regardless of sex. The entire amendment simply states “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” It was first introduced in Congress in 1923, and passed in 1972 but did not receive ratification of at least 38 states required to become part of the Constitution. The ERA has never been adopted and there is still no Constitutional protection of equal rights on the basis of sex. You can find additional information on the ERA hereLinks to an external site.

For this week’s activity and discussion please write your thoughts and reflections on at least one of the following:

1. What are some of the important similarities and differences between first-wave feminism and second-wave feminism? How did the second wave build on the first? To what extent did these movements include and fight for the rights of poor women and BIPOC women? (BIPOC = Black, Indigenous & People of Color) What do you think is important for others to celebrate and/or critique about these movements?
2. Before this lesson, did you know that that there is still no constitutional equality among sexes ? What was your reaction to this? Based on the reading, why do you think the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has never been ratified? Do you believe it is still important to pass the ERA today or is there enough gender equality today that the amendment is no longer necessary? Why?

Your discussion should be at least 200 words

In your daily work, you will often need to consider the balance between safeguarding organizational data and ensuring privacy. It is crucial to understand the datanature, both in its entirety and fragments, and to categorize it appropriately when addressing these requirements.

Imagine this headline: Data Breach at Main Memorial Hospital!A published article reveals that a stolen laptop contains sensitive patient data, including social security numbers and insurance information, in plain text.

For your initial post, consider this question: As a practitioner, would you tackle this issue from a security perspective (using encryption to protect the data) or a privacy perspective (preventing the data from leaving the network in the first place)? Justify your choice.

When responding to your peers, highlight a cost or benefit associated with the chosen approach.

RESPONSE ONE

This headline is a scary one to think about, especially if I am working at the company when this happens. Both security and privacy are very important to be mindful of, but I feel that security is the issue to tackle. In our constantly evolving digital world, I personally do not see us ending the use of work devices such as laptops or phones that are used to work from home or on the go. To accomplish this safely, encryption is a nonnegotiable necessity. Every device used outside of the network needs to have encryption from the point of logging on until logging off. All data must be processed through a VPN to secure the communication and no sensetive information can be saved to the device.

The biggest threat to information security is human error, whether it be purposeful or neglectful. Devices will be lost or stolen, that will never change, but if encryption is in place and made a priority, the data will stay safe. With proper security policies in place, we can ensure that we don’t ever see that headline attached to our business.

RESPONSE TWO

In the scenario of a data breach at Main Memorial Hospital, where a stolen laptop contains unencrypted sensitive patient information, the issue can be addressed from either a security or a privacy perspective. While preventing data from leaving the network altogether is an ideal privacy-focused approach, it may not be practical given the need for healthcare professionals to access data remotely. Therefore, I would prioritize a security-focused approach by implementing strong encryption. Encryption ensures that even if sensitive data leaves the network or a device is stolen, the information remains inaccessible without the appropriate decryption keys. This approach provides a robust defense that accommodates the realities of modern healthcare operations, where data mobility is often necessary. By focusing on encryption, we can protect patient data while still allowing the flexibility required in healthcare settings, ultimately balancing security needs with practical considerations.
