...13.1 Seattle health plans currently uses zero debt financing. Its operating profit is $1 million, and it pays taxes at a 40% rate. It has $5 million in assets and, because it is all equity financed, $5 million in equity. Suppose the firm is considering replacing half of its equity financing with debt financing that bears an interest rate of 8%. a) What impact would the new capital structure have on the firm’s profit, total dollar return to investors, and return on equity? b) Redo the analysis, but now assume that the debt financing would cost 15%. c) Repeat the analysis required for Part a, but now assume that seattle health plans is a not for profit corporation and hence pays no taxes. Compare the results with those obtained in part a. Answer: a) With 50% debt levels, the new capital structure will be 50:50, the value of debt will be $5 million @ 8%, so the interest expense will be $0.4 million. Amount in Millions Operating Profit: $1 Less: interest expense 0.08 Profit before tax 0.92 Less tax @40% 0.368 PAT 0.552 Return on equity 11.04% b) Amount in Millions Operating Profit: $1 Less: interest expense 0.15 Profit before tax 0.85 Less tax @40% 0.34 PAT 0.51 Return on equity 10.2% c) Amount in Millions Operating Profit: $1 Less: interest expense 0.08 Profit before tax 0.92 Less tax 0.0 PAT 0.92 Return on equity 18.4% In part (a) the return to equity shareholders is 11.04% whereas in part c it is 18.4%, this difference in...

..."Houston, We've Had a Problem Here" When we look throughout history, certain things are seen first. World War 1, World War 2, and the Vietnam War are all good examples. We look at all the destruction we are capable of, why not look at our route of exploration, encounter, and exchange. The pilgrims took the big leap of exploration, the Vikings sailed the world, Jonas Salk made the first polio vaccine, and Juan Ponce de Leon founded Florida while simultaneously searching for the fountain of youth. Apollo 13 explores the risks of space, encounters life threatening situations, and exchanges new knowledge of the risks of space. Having both negative and positive effects it furthers our safety protocols for space but takes a toll on NASA's reputation....

...Libby Fleck 2nd hour Psychology Inquiry Interview What disorders do you have? OCD and acute paranoia. When did you first notice you had these disorders? 13 I started noticing acute paranoia and 14 when I noticed OCD. What happens with your acute paranoia? I don’t really like going out to eat and being in public places all that much. I’m always feeling like something is going to happen. I check my back a lot to make sure nothing is going to happen. What happens with your OCD? I have a specific place for everything in my bedroom. A place for trash, clothes, cologne, and golf stuff. Did you ever seek professional help for your disorders? I went to therapy starting at age 14 until I was about 15. It was only for about 8 months. When Philip was thirteen years old his friends and family first started to notice his ticks. He went to a psychiatrist when he was fourteen years old and they explained explain to him what his problem was, and how it doesn't overall affect him and it is rather normal. Nothing he was doing made it worse or not worse, except Philip’s acute paranoia. That made it difficult for him to sometimes go out to eat or go to a movie because he was always worried something would happen. Being paranoid is a little bit of a burden to Philip. He is constantly checking his back, and he always has to know who is in the room and any sudden movements he has to watch out for. As for Philip’s OCD things just need to always be in their place. For example, his room is very...

...1. King cares about what is happening in Birmingham because he says that what affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Birmingham is one of the most segregated city in the US at that time. No one should feel like an outsider in America, according to King. So he wanted to help them out 2. They picked a time near Easter for direct action because besides Christmas time, it’s the main shopping period of the year. They wanted to bring pressure to put on the merchants that there should be changes made. 3. He insist on direct action in Birmingham because it dramatizes the issue and rings tension to the community to make a situation so that their only choice is to negotiate 4. It’s impossible for blacks to continue to “wait” because they have been waiting for more than 340 years for change, and not a lot has changed. Waiting for them means that there’s little chance for anything to ever happen. 5. Personal examples the King included was about his daughter asking questions about why things are the way they are for black people. 6. A just law is a manmade code that squares with the moral law or law of God. An unjust law is a human law that is out of harmony with moral laws. It’s important because it gives segregators false superiority 7. A law is unjust if it degrades a human’s personality 8. King says that everything Hitler did was “legal” because helping out Jews was considered “illegal” 9. King is disappointed in the white moderate because they are more devoted to order than justice...

...PROBLEM CASE 13: CHAPTER 5, PROBLEM CASE 11 CHAPTER 6 Julius R. Reed Grand Canyon University: Business 240: Ethical and Legal Issues in Business May 13, 2014 Chapter 5 – Problems and Problem Cases: Problem 13 Garelli Wong & Associates, Inc (GW) filed suit against Williams Nichols who was a former employer of their firm. GW claims that Nichols used confidential information that was in a database that the firm maintained. GW contended that Nichols was in breach of contract and referenced the Consumer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Based on their claims, the court will rule in favor of Nichols and dismiss the plaintiff’s case. The plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Specifically, Nichols did not meet any of the requirements outlined in the CFAA. Nichols did not transmit information or cause damage without authorization to a protected computer. Nichols was a former employee of CW: therefore he had authorization to the computer with the database. Nichols did not intentionally access the computer without authorization, or cause any type of loss to CW. Nichols was right to request dismissal of the plaintiff’s claim. Based on their claim, no relief would be granted. Nichols did not impair the integrity or availability of the information in the database. Any firm will risk the chance of a former employee leaking information to a new employee. CW should have been more specific in their contract for employee’s who had access to confidential information ...

...Running head: RWBFC Scheduling at Red, White and Blue Fireworks Company Shelia Iceson Operations Management Dr. Kyle Peacock December 12, 2011 Develop a staffing plan for RWBFC in accordance with the constraints stated in the case. This staffing plan recognizes the significant commitment of human resources necessary to accomplish the job and its requirements. It also recognizes that the Red, White and Blue Fireworks Company (RWBFC) must continue to provide a high level of service and maintain the same level of productivity while this project is underway. The Red, White and Blue Fireworks Company’s staffing strategy is to minimize labor costs by staffing only what is needed for current production due to its inability to expand at the current facility. Staffing levels are rebuilt or contracted as determined by production schedules and as reflected by staffing requirements and constraints. To minimize the potential for over or under staffing, hiring should be based on a review of RWBFC’s production schedule and a review of at least 2 to 3 months forecasting. In order to develop the staffing plan for RWBFC the basis of estimate analysis needs to be used, considering the following constraints: * RWBFC needs to operate ten hours a day * RWBFC needs to operate seven days a week * Employees must have three consecutive days off * The manufacturing process requires a minimum of 20 employees The following table represents a simple schedule...
