WWC arranges with Kit Kat to convert the $1,700 balance to a note, and Kit Kat signs a 6-month note, at 9% annual interest. The principal and all interest will be due and payable to WWC on August 1, 2012. |

Until recently, state law left the Vermont Alcohol and Tobacco Company (“VAT”) with a near-monopoly on sales of these items in Vermont. (Mail order is prohibited.) The legislation has just been repealed, and soon competing retailers will be opening up stores in Vermont. As the CFO, you are deciding whether this should affect VAT’s target leverage ratio (currently 50%). If you want to improve shareholder value, you should
Group of answer choices
A. Raise the ratio. The repeal means that your firm needs to become more competitive, and higher debt payments will force management to run a tighter operation.
B. Raise the ratio. Your inventories make good collateral, and using a debt issue to fund a share repurchase will give shareholders a much-needed boost in stock price.
C. Lower the ratio. The repeal opens up all sorts of growth opportunities for your company, and debt payments would interfere with your ability to pursue these.
D. Lower the ratio. More competition means lower margins, increasing the chance that your firm will miss interest payments and enter financial distress.

Internal Control Case Study
Harper Theater is located in Midtown Mall. The cashier’s booth is near the entrance to the theater. Two cashiers are employed. Once works from 1-5 pm, the other from 5-9 pm. Each cashier is bonded. The cashiers receive cash from customers and operate a machine that ejects serially numbered tickets. The rolls of tickets are inserted and locked into the machine by the theater manager at the beginning of each cashier’s shift.
After purchasing a ticket, the customer takes the ticket to an usher stationed at the entrance to the theater lobby some 60 feet from the cashier’s booth. The usher tears the ticket in half, admits the customer, and returns the ticket stub to the customer. The other half of the ticket is dropped into a locked box by the usher.
At the end of each cashier’s shift, the theater manager removes the ticket roll from the machine and makes a cash count. The cash count sheet is initialed by the cashier. At the end of the day, the manager deposits the receipts in total in a bank night deposit vault located in the mall. The manager also sends copies of the deposit slip and the initialed cash count sheets to the theater company treasurer for verification and to the company’s accounting department. Receipts from the first shift are stored in a safe located in the manager’s office.

Kilgore’s Deli is a small delicatessen located near a major university. Kilgore’s does a large walk-in carry-out lunch business. The deli offers two luncheon chili specials, Wimpy and Dial 911. At the beginning of the day, Kilgore needs to decide how much of each special to make (he always sells out of whatever he makes). The profit on one serving of Wimpy is $0.41, on one serving of Dial 911, $0.54. Each serving of Wimpy requires 0.21 pound of beef, 0.21 cup of onions, and 5 ounces of Kilgore’s special sauce. Each serving of Dial 911 requires 0.21 pound of beef, 0.36 cup of onions, 2 ounces of Kilgore’s special sauce, and 5 ounces of hot sauce. Today, Kilgore has 16 pounds of beef, 11 cups of onions, 85 ounces of Kilgore’s special sauce, and 56 ounces of hot sauce on hand.
