...Report of CVS Pharmacy’s Excess Return I. company introduction CVS Pharmacy (styled as CVS) is an American pharmacy retailer and currently stands as the second largest pharmacy chain, in the United States, with more than 7,600 stores, and is the second largest US pharmacy based on total prescription revenue. II. Purpose To determine if there are excess returns on CVS’ stock. III. Time period of data Monthly Fama/French Benchmark Return(SMB, HML, Rm-Rf), Monthly risk-free rate and Monthly price of CVS from Oct 2005 to Oct 2015. IV. Test of the correlation The correlation matrix for the excess return variables (SMB, HML, Rcvs-Rf, Rm-Rf) | Rm-Rf | SMB | HML | Rcvs-Rf | Rm-Rf | 1 | | | | SMB | 0.394264 | 1 | | | HML | 0.424707 | 0.305891 | 1 | | Rcvs-Rf | 0.597283 | 0.305935 | 0.197747 | 1 | Analysis: V. Serial correlation tests Method: Durbin-Watson statistic Procedure: first, we use the formula DW=t=2Tεt-εt-12t=1Tεt2 to calculate the DW value. It is 2.2161. It is higher than 2.0 so we use (4-DW=1.7839) to compare with the criteria. Then we find that the critical values dl and du for 121 observations when there is one independent variable are 1.65 and 1.69. Because the DW statistic of 1.7839 for the regression is higher than du, we can’t reject the null hypothesis of no serial correlation. Conclusion: There is no serial correlation on the CAPM model. VI. CAPM model: Rcvs-Rf=α+β(Rm-Rf) 1. Model The Rcvs-Rf...

...Analysis of CVS “Beauty 360” Mike Kleinschmidt Metropolitan State University Abstract As a business reaches a plateau, they often look for new and innovating ways to create new growth opportunities. One of the ways this can be accomplished is by entering into a more profitable market. Drug store giant CVS found themselves in this situation and took on the task of competing in the upscale beauty market. The drugstore chain was going to challenge the recession. The launching of a new retail concept in the midst of the then gloomy economic environment was certainly risky. Amid other high end beauty marketers struggling during this economic downturn, CVS was poised to try and lure away some of their clientele. Named Beauty 360, the first stores were launched in 2008. This study will analyze the factors and decisions CVS made in deciding to enter this market, and, if these choices proved practical. Introduction CVS Pharmacy is the second largest pharmacy chain in the United States with over 7,000 stores in 41 states and $86 billion in revenue (Prior, 2008). As the retail pharmacy division of CVS Caremark, it sells prescription drugs and a wide assortment of general merchandise, including over-the-counter drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, film and photo finishing services, seasonal merchandise, greeting cards and convenience foods through their CVS Pharmacy and Longs Drugs retail stores and online through CVS.com. For more than 10 years, CVS tried...

...Assumptions The models used to value the target firm SkyWest will include: I. Residual Earnings Model (REM) II. Abnormal Growth Model (AGM) III. Dividend Discount Model ((DDM) IV. Discounted Cash Flow Model (DCF) V. Method of Comparables These models have been based on some fundamental assumptions. These assumptions can be found in Appendix 1.1. I. Residual Earning Model The REM splits the intrinsic value of a company into two components; the book value and the present value of the future residual earnings. The discount rate used for future earning was the Cost of Equity found in Appendix 1.1. Through obtaining the earnings per share (EPS), book value per share (BPS) and dividends per share (DPS) from Bloomberg, it is possible to estimate the value of SkyWest. A growth rate of 2.6% (2012 financial statement) was applied. The value per a share shown in Appendix 1.2 is approximately 94 cents. II. Abnormal Growth Model The RE model anchors book value whereas, the AEG model anchors earnings. In applying the model the value per a share is equal to the capitalised earning plus the extra forecasted earning and applying a growth rate of 2.6% for the CV. In Appendix 1.3 the value per a share is $9.86. However, there seems to be a problem with the CV, through excluding the CV the value per a share is equal to approximately 33cents (0.02076/0.0636). Theoretically, the AEG and RE models should give the same valuations, but due to imperfections, the two models tend to yield...

...Project of Econometrics INTRODUCTION In this paper our motivation to discuss effects of models by estimating its parameters in matrix and scalar notations, its variances checked via different formal and informal methods, checked the depends of error terms and analyze that auto-correlation whether it is positive, zero or negative, we also check the data is normality distributed or not, and check the structural stability. We consider the civilian unemployment rate and manufacturing hourly compensation in US dollars for simple regression. We consider the data in multiple regressions on Wildcat activity. Wildcats are wells drilled to find and produce oil and gas in an improved area or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas or to extend the limit of a known oil or gas reservoir. For hetroscedasticity tests we consider for simple regression wholesale and consumer price index data and for multiple regressions we take same data which we above used for multiple regression. We consider Fertility and other data for 64 countries for the F-test, Durbin-Watson test and CHOW test where child mortality depends upon the female literacy rate, per capita GNP and total fertility rate. DATA SOURCES I took the data from the Guajarati book. Table 5.10 on page no. 158 represents the data which we used for simple regression for hetroscedasticity tests. Table 7.7on page no. 237 represents the data which I used for multiple regressions. Table 6.4...

Performance evaluation It important to recognize that performance evaluation is the task involved in step 6 (training and testing) and constitutes the key component in comparing multiple models in step 7 of the data mining process, described in Study Guide 4. Training is a process of transforming a set of data into a model using a learning algorithm. Once the data is ready (after steps 2, 3 and 4) and an algorithm is selected (step 5), training is a straightforward process (the first part in step 6). Refer to the data mining process in pages 4-1 and 4-2. In this Study Guide, we focus on issues related to model evaluation (the second part of step 6), i.e. we want evaluate how well the trained model will perform for unseen or future data. 2. Use only unseen data for performance evaluation In evaluating the performance of a model, we are evaluating how well the model generalizes (as opposed to memorize) the seen data in the training set. The training data is said to have been seen because it has been used to produce the model in the training...

...diminish the attraction to the organisation, candidates with negative experiences can discourage others, the job acceptance can be impacted due to negative experiences, and selection methods must adhere to regulations relating to discrimination (Bratton & Gold, 2012). This relates to the perception of fair treatment; applicants’ reactions can be measured using a procedural justice scale relating to selection (Bratton & Gold, 2012) • Individual differences of candidates must be measured by organisations otherwise attracting a wide pool of applicants will be of no use to the selector (Bratton & Gold, 2012). Moreover, recognising the differences in people must lead to a prediction of their performance in the workplace (Bratton & Gold, 2012). • CVs and biodata handed in by applicants highlights their experience, skills and achievements. It provides an important method for organisations to do initial screenings of candidates before moving on to the next step of the selection process (Bratton & Gold, 2012). • The type of selection interview can have an impact on the selection process. Research suggests that interviews are deficient in terms of reliability and validity (Bratton & Gold, 2012). However, interviews are helpful in identifying...

Mainly, to survive in this evolving world, generally, everything is based on Capital. In order to live a productive lifestyle, it requires education, wellness, finances, and persistence. In order to be successful driven, collaboration of a system should consist of planning, organizing, and generate an action. In health care, marketing is “the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and service to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives”. (University Of Phoenix, 2011, para. The Meaning of Marketing). It also mentions, these “basics are to use a quality system where metrics are defined and where physicians follow agreed-upon clinical protocols, and are aligned with the organizations that manage the defined patient population.” This strategic marketing process consists of relationships. The “important stakeholders, environmental factors, and society at large”. (University of Phoenix, 2011, para. The Strategic Marketing). To maintain its core value the approach must follow an external-to-internal method, according to the chapters.

...what he thought was an ear infection, the physician diagnosed in three minutes what Pontius had predicted. Additionally, only after the visit to the doctor had he figured out that his insurance company did not cover treatment at this particular clinic, so Pontius would have to pay hundreds of dollars out of his own pocket to pay for the visit with the doctor.1 Sensing a business opportunity, Pontius, along with Rick Krieger and Douglas Smith, partnered to start MinuteClinic, the retail medical treatment clinic that is widely regarded as the beginning of the convenient care clinic (CCC) movement. Also known as retail based clinics, these facilities are small medical operations located within a larger retail operation such as Target or CVS. They offer a limited scope of medical services and are primarily characterized by low fees, convenience, and quick, but reliable service. Consumers are clearing seeing value in their proposition: in only eight years, 800 CCC’s have been established all over the US, and are expected to continue their explosive trend in growth.

...Business Proposal Tina Davis ECO/561 Economics Draft Business Proposal In an effort to serve the CVS Pharmacy’s consumer base better, the need to offer a wider variety of prescription medication selections and options system-wide. In this proposal, assumptions about the elasticity of demand and the market structure for these medications and expanded services will be included. Additionally, how the expansion will increase revenues will be explained. Further, a rationale for determining the profit-maximizing quantity will be provided. Decisions will be made by using the concepts of marginal costs and marginal revenue to maximize profit. A mix of pricing and non-pricing strategies will be suggested. This proposal will also explore options of creating or increasing barriers to entry. Further, increased product differentiation will be discussed. Finally, other way to minimize costs will be explored. Market Structure and Elasticity of Demand CVS retail pharmacies operate in a monopolistic competition market structure. According to Investopedia (2012), the monopolistic competition is, “A type of competition within an industry where: 1. Firms produce similar yet not perfectly substitutable products. 2. Firms can enter the industry if the profits are attractive. 3. Firms are profit maximizers. 4. Firms have some market power, which means none are price takers. Firms in a monopolistic competition sell goods that have either actual or perceived non-price differences...
