You work as a financial analyst at a large automobile corporation that occasionally makes acquisitions of smaller companies that specialize in the production and assembly of small component parts. In order to achieve vertical integration of its newest sports sedan model, the company is evaluating a few manufacturing companies that have experienced strong financial performance in the past few years. These companies would make excellent acquisitions due to the nature and quality of the product and the anticipated ease of transition. You have been tasked to evaluate these companies from a financial perspective and choose one. To do this, you need to brush up on a few concepts by addressing the following topics:
Describe what a crediting rate/score is. Should this be a factor in evaluating companies? The firm will need to raise funds immediately for the acquisition, and debt will be used. Should the firm borrow on a long-term or short-term basis? Why? Explain the effect, if any, inflation rates will have on the purchase? How significant is this factor? Define the relationship between yield curves and the term structure of interest rates. Explain what would happen to interest rates if a new process was developed that allowed automobiles to run off oil that was formulated based on lemonade? The technology used to convert this liquid to gas would be pricey but well worth it. What impact would this technology have on interest rates? Discuss what ratios should be used to assess the financial health of the potential acquisition? Your completed case study must be at least two pages in length, and you must use at least your textbook as a reference. Other references may be used as needed. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

Impressionismwas a time when artists first started using color in revolutionary ways. Manet was a leader of Impressionism. In Paris, there was an Academy where artists exhibited their work called the Salon. This work created a lot of controversies when it was exhibited. It was not unusual for nude women to be painted with clothed men, the women were imaginary muses to the men. The scandalous part of this painting was that the woman was recognizable from society. Other controversial things happening in this painting include the lack of realism, and emphasis on unblended strokes and a flatness, notice the unfinished quality of the food and the lack of shading and dimension on the nude woman. In addition, the woman in the background does not quite seem to fit into the landscape.
Edouard Manet, Luncheon on the Grass (Le Déjeuner Sur L’herbe) 1863

After Impressionism camePost-Impressionism. The way artists use color in innovative shifts further.
Seurat developed a technique that he called “divisionism.” He painted with tiny dots of color that when viewed from a distance would optically mix and we just see one color. So, tiny dots of blue and yellow would make up a field of green. Today we call this pointillism. The figures are distant and stylized. This is a fairly large painting and it took Seurat two years to paint it.

Expressionism
Encyclopedia Britannica describes Expressionism as:
An artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse within a person. The artist accomplishes this aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of formal elements.
Wikipedia describes
Munch wrote of how the painting came to be: “I was walking down the road with two friends when the sunset; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish-black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormos, infinite scream of nature.”
He later described the personal anguish behind the painting, “for several years I was almost mad… You know my picture, ‘The Scream?’ I was stretched to the limit—nature was screaming in my blood… After that I gave up hope ever of being able to love again.”
Edvard Munch, The Shriek, 1896

“Suprematism
was an art movement focused on basic geometric (Links to an external site.) forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors. It was founded by Kazimir Malevich (Links to an external site.) in Russia…The term suprematism refers to an abstract art based upon “the supremacy of pure artistic feeling” rather than on visual depiction of objects.”
Some of the simple paintings by Malevich may be difficult to understand, it is a reduction of form to its most basic elements. Try thinking of it as a meditation, as a sort of clearing away of the subject matter or images with labels or names.
