Case # 3: Ms. A

Ms. A is a 27 y.o. computer analyst employed at Intel, Inc. She is unmarried, has no children and has been in a significant relationship with a female partner, Tina, for 5 years.   Tina and Ms. A live together in a home they own in Albuquerque.

For the past 9 months, Ms. A has been experiencing consistent and regular shakiness, sweating, shortness of breath and an exaggerated startle response. In addition, she experiences significant, unfocused worry and anxiety. Ms. A has tried to control the “worry” but to no avail. Ms. A comes to you, a Licensed Independent Social Worker in private practice, as she believes she is on the verge of having a “nervous breakdown”.

While conducting the biopsychosocial history, Ms. A advises you she has always been a “worrier”. In high school she displayed perfectionistic tendencies, often worried she would be late to school, was very compliant and had excessive concern about her school performance. Additionally, Ms. A reports regularly feeling inadequate and avoidant of people or situations for fear of being rejected or criticized. These characteristics continued through college and have become increasingly more prevalent, impacting her performance at work as well as her relationship with Tina.

Currently, Ms. A is anxious about most situations and experiences this most every day of the week. Sundays tend to be worse for her as she is thinking about returning to work on Monday.   Ms. A reports she is frequently irritable and agitated with co-workers and Tina. Since her worries have intensified, she has not been able to sleep due to restlessness, is chronically tired and fatigued, has trouble concentrating and generally feels “on edge”. Her work performance has declined as she is not able to meet deadlines and frequently misses meetings. Her boss has expressed concern and urged Ms. A to seek assistance.

You note these symptoms have been present during the last 9 months. Ms. A has seen her primary care physician who indicated Ms. A is in good health. Additional history you obtain indicates no use/abuse of substances.

While exploring Ms. A’s sense of inadequacy, you discover this has been a pervasive pattern beginning in late adolescence. One of the reasons Ms. A became a computer analyst was to avoid working in “teams” which would require a great deal of interpersonal contact and interactions. She has few friends and rarely socializes for fear of being unaccepted and spurned. Ms. A’s preoccupation with being criticized or rebuffed is emotionally debilitating. Developing her relationship with Tina was extremely difficult. Ms. A felt inferior to her and attempted to sabotage the relationship several times. Only after Tina “proved” she loved Ms. A did Ms. A allow a relationship to develop. Presently, Ms. A is concerned about her relationship as Tina is regularly frustrated with Ms. A’s constant worry, feelings of inadequacy, reluctance to socialize or doing things Tina likes, such as snowboarding and cycling.

Java program. The Spacely Sprocket company has expanded operations and is now producing 50 different kinds of sprockets. The different sprockets are numbered 1 though 50. During the month of November, orders have been taken for the different sprockets. The following input file contains records where each record contains a sprocket number (1-50) followed by the quantity ordered: November Orders.txt (this will be at the bottom)

Using the below input file of orders, rewrite the Spacely Sprocket program to produce a summary report for all 50 sprockets produced. Rather than using 50 separate accumulator variables, you must use a single array to represent the 50 different accumulators. Use the array and loops in your program to summarize the orders and output the report. Don't forget to initialize each of the array locations to 0 (because they are accumulators). For full credit, be sure to display the report in a Scrolling Pane in a Window.

These new laws prohibited privately owned landfills in the state from accepting semi-solid waste (e.g., certain types of garbages and rubbishes, sludges, sanitation residues, semisolids, and industrial wastes, etc.) from any source outside the county in which the landfill was located unless expressly permitted by the county.Point Arbors Landfill, Inc., a privately owned business located in Grace County in Illinois, submitted an application to the Grace County government to allow Point Arbors to accept up to 500 tons per day of out-of-state semi-solid waste. In the application, Point Arbors agreed to reserve enough capacity at their landfill to accept all semi-solid waste produced in the county for the next fifteen years. The county rejected the application. Point Arbors sued the county and the state in federal court, alleging that the SSWARsviolated the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution and seeking an injunction against their enforcement.Point Arbors argues that forcing operators of private landfills to limit business to accepting local semi-solid waste discriminates against interstate commerce.Point Arbors also reminds the Court that state laws that discriminate against interstate commerce are unconstitutional unless the state can prove that such laws are justified by valid state interests, unrelated to economic protectionism, that cannot be achieved without such discrimination.The state of Illinois and Grace County argue that the SSWARs do not discriminate against interstate commerce because (1) the laws do not treat out-of-county semi-solids from Illinois any differently than waste from other states, and (2) some counties in Illinois still accept out-of-state semi-solid waste. The defendants further argue that the SSWARs are essential to the public health and welfare because they enable individual counties to make adequate and comprehensive plans for the safe disposal of future waste, as required by SSSSWAA. The U.S. District Court in Illinois concluded that the SSWARs did not discriminate against interstate commerce and therefore did not violate the Commerce Clause. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit disagreed and overturned the District Court. The case is appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and the Court agrees to hear it. What does the Commerce Clause require in this situation? Do Illinois’ Semi-Solid Waste Acceptance Regulations violate the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution? Why or why not? Fully discuss how the Court would likely analyze this case.

  1. Assign the activity costs to ach of the three customers
  2. Calculate the contribution for each customer if the sales pattern for each as follows:

Supermarket customer            Sales revenue**

  1. $350,000
  2. S160,000
  3. $210,000

**Selling price is marked up 50% on direct cost of flowers

Hints: conduct a customer profitability analysis based on the above customer related indirect costs.

  1. What conclusion can we draw from the customer profit analysis? Advise the management of the Floral Art Company as to whether any changes should be made in its relationships with customers. Advise Hector as to how he should go about executing these changes.

You have recently been hired by Intersoll Motors Inc. (IMI) in its relatively new treasury management department. IMI was founded eight years ago by Geoff Boycott. Geoff found a method to manufacture a cheaper battery that will hold a larger charge, giving a car powered by the battery a range of 700 km before requiring a charge. The cars manufactured by IMI are midsized and carry a price that allows the company to compete with other mainstream auto manufacturers. The company is privately owned by Geoff and his family and it had sales of $97 million last year. Cost of goods sold totalled $80M and depreciation was $2M.

IMI’s growth to date has come from its profit. When the company had sufficient capital, it would expand production. Relatively little formal analysis has been used in its capital budgeting process. Geoff has just read about capital budgeting technique and has come to you for help. For starters, the company has never attempted to determine its cost of capital, and Geoff would like you to perform the analysis. Because the company is privately owned and not yet publicly traded, base all weights on the book values instead of the market values.

IMI’s capital is made up of a bank loan and owner’s equity. It has a 15-year loan for 8,000,000 with an APR of 13.15% based on semi-annual compounding. IMI has been paying 100,200 monthly for 8 years. Geoff receives a salary in the form of an equity dividend of $1M per year. This amount is expected to grow at 3% per year indefinitely. His required return on equity is 20%. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 35% and this is expected to continue indefinitely.

  1. What is IMI’s outstanding debt value? Calculate the book value of debt as the amount still owing on the bank loan.

  2. What is the value of the unlevered firm? The levered firm?

  3. Determine IMI’s yearly cost of capital based on book values. (Find the after-tax WACC using the

    yearly cost of debt)

  4. Would the firm benefit from increasing its debt? Why? (No calculation necessary)

  5. In a real-world situation, why might firms choose to avoid debt? (No calculation necessary)

Fleming, a publicly held company, and several officers of the company, were sued by various stockholders for securities fraud for filing documents that were materially misleading. The stockholders contended that information failed to discuss litigation lost by Fleming that resulted in a damage award of $200 million, which led to the company's stock falling by about 25%. The stock pricer recovered some after part of the trial verdict was set aside, and Fleming settled the case by paying $20 million. Stockholders contended that failure to fully reveal the risks of that litigation caused losses to investors in Fleming stock. The district court dismissed the suit because the plaintiffs failed to show that Fleming made deliberate and materially misleading statements of omissions. Stockholders appealed. [City of Philadelphia v. Fleming Co., 264 F.3d 1245, 10th Cir. (2001)]

What evidence is required in order to show that the defendant "deliberately" made misleading statements or omissions to potential stockholders.
