Question

1. Application of Time Value of Money Skills Aa Aa As the son of a Major League Baseball (MLB) player, Issac Itsouttahere has been playing baseball since he was old enough to hold a bat, and he has always dreamed of following in his father's footsteps. For the past four years, he's been the starting center fielder for the Roswell Extraterrestrials, a double-A (AA)-level baseball team. Last year, based on his outstanding fielding and hitting record, including 122 runs batted in (RBI) and 31 home runs, he was selected to receive the Minor League Player of the Year award. Yesterday, in a telephone conversation with his agent, Steven Sign'em-Now, Issac learned that he's being called up to the big leagues and traded to the Boston Back Bay Boys! In fact, he's supposed to report to the coach of the Back Bay Boys next Monday. To add another source of change to his world, Issac and Steven must negotiate a new contract with Micah Jeffries, the general manager of the Back Bay Boys Issac and Steven are having a prenegotiation conversation Steven Issac, we need to review and agree on the numbers and provisions that I'm going to propose to Micah later this afternoon. Issac Cool! I am so excited! I checked the league standings this morning, and the Back Bay Boys are currently in second place in the league. My dad said that they are on fire so far this season, and if they can continue their current level of performance, they-no, I mean we-could qualify for the playoffs by mid-September. Wouldn't that be incredible? Steven Yeah, kid, it would. But let's focus on today's contract negotiations. I want your input, so let's run down my list of thoughts, and then we can talk about your move and your transition to Boston Issac Ok, what's on your list?
