...Gateway Case Analysis As part of our analysis, we focused on the following goals: 1) Minimize the chance of aircraft crash losses and insurance costs combined exceeding $37 million in the next year, and 2) Obtain the insurance coverage at lowest cost over the five-year period. We performed our analysis in 5 stages, eliminating one prospective insurance plan or confirming our observations in each stage. Crystal Ball software served as an analytical tool for our analysis. The simulations conducted for our analysis consisted of 10,000 trials each. See Appendix for illustrations related to this analysis. Analysis Detail Stage 1: A comparative analysis of the maximum values of the total losses and insurance costs in the first year showed that there is only one insurance plan that guarantees that the next year losses are not going to exceed $37 million: HIC ($33.8 million maximum). RNCN1 has a maximum of $43.8 million, which is reasonably close to the $41 million limit that we are aiming to avoid in the first year. We also noted that the Self-insurance plan has minimal expected costs of $4.6 million in first year, but bears the highest volatility, which may lead to losses of up to $170.5 million (See Exhibit 1). At this stage, we exclude the RNCN2 plan from further considerations because even though is offers low expected costs, the probability of going over the limit of $37 million and incurring costs of $60 million is significant for the purposes of this analysis. We plan to...

...FINC 340 Financial Management Homework Assignment I You can provide your answers by expanding the space between questions. You must show your work and/or explain your answers sufficiently to get credit. Points for each question are the same. Chapter 01 1. What is the goal of the firm? Explain. Ans: A firm’s goals usually include (1) stockholder wealth maximization, (2) profit maximization, (3) Managerial reward maximization, (4) behavioral goals, and (5) social responsibility. However, the primary goal of the business is to maximize the wealth of its stockholders, which translates into maximizing the price of the firm‘s common stock. The traditional goal frequently stressed by economists--profit maximization--is not sufficient for most companies today. 2. What factor(s) enable a public corporation to grow to a greater extent, and perhaps at a faster rate, than a partnership or a proprietorship? Explain. Ans: one of the most important is the type of business structure (i.e. legal entity) you choose for your business. Your decision can affect how much you pay in taxes, image and perception of your business among your clients and suppliers, the amount of paperwork your business is required to do, the personal liability you face, ability to borrow money, and the ability to expand your business. A public corporation grows faster because it has a separate legal entity, acredible image thus, ease of raising capital and procuring debt...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE REPORTING PROCESS Questions, Exercises, and Problems: Answers and Solutions 1.1 The first question at the end of each chapter asks the student to review the important terms and concepts discussed in the chapter. Students may wish to consult the glossary at the end of the book in addition to the definitions and discussions in the chapter. 1.2 Setting Goals and Strategies: Although a charitable organization must obtain sufficient resources to fund its operations, it would not pursue profits or wealth increases as goals. A charitable organization would direct its efforts toward providing services to its constituencies. Financing: A charitable organization may obtain some or all of its financing from donations (contributions). A charitable organization does not issue common stock or other forms of shareholders’ equity, nor does it have retained earnings. Investing: Similar to business firms, charitable organizations acquire productive capacity (for example, buildings) to carry out their activities. Operations: A charitable organization might prepare financial statements that compare inflows (for example, contributions) with outflows. While these statements might appear similar to income statements, there would be no calculation of net income because the purpose of the charitable organization is to provide services to its constituents...
