Business Finance Homework Help

Please read the instructions carefully and the rubric.

The exam is based on the case “eBay Inc.: The Portfolio Decision” that is uploaded in the “Content” tab on Blackboard. You should use NO OTHER source. You should not do any outside research for the exam [no citation such as footnotes or end notes since you are not allowed to use outside sources]. There is adequate information in the case and the exhibits to answer the questions posed.

The work should be yours. Your submission will be run through SafeAssign (a plagiarism software) and so this should be your own work – the analysis, the wording, the narrative, etc. If SafeAssign indicates plagiarism (using work of other students, using outside sources, etc.), then I will reserve the right to give you a zero for this assignment.

You are limited to a 5-page (double-spaced, 11 font, NO cover page) Word document for this assignment. There will be a substantial penalty for exceeding the page limit.

Your report should answer the following questions (no introduction and conclusion needed; simply start with Q1 and go on from there). A good report will contain the following features:

Arguments that are supported by evidence

Arguments that are linked to concepts and theories learnt in this class

There is evidence of editing and proof reading

Questions

1.What is Elliott Management’s criticism of eBay? Should eBay take this criticism seriously?

2.Is eBay a conglomerate? How has eBay projected itself in the market?

3.Examine eBay’s portfolio of businesses. What role/value does the corporate office play/add?

4.What choices does eBay’s top management have? What should they do?

I have uploaded as a separate document the grading rubric for this assignment. Please see that before you start work on this assignment.
