Worst Buy Company has had a lot of complaints from customers of late, and its stock price is now only $3 per share. It is going to employ a one-for-six reverse stock split to increase the stock value. Assume Dean Smith owns 120 shares.

a. How many shares will he own after the reverse stock split? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

b. What is the anticipated price of the stock after the reverse stock split? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

c. Because investors often have a negative reaction to a reverse stock split, assume the stock only goes up to 80 percent of the value computed in part b. What will the stock’s price be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. How has the total value of Dean Smith’s holdings changed from before the reverse stock split to after the reverse stock split (based on the stock value computed in part c)? To get the total value before and after the split, multiply the shares held times the stock price. (Input the amount as a positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Capacity planning is critically important in operations and supply chain management. Here are some capacity management principles I have learned over the years working in various Operations Management roles. Can you think of a way that one or more of these principles could be applied in your work environment to improve throughput? a. Constantly hone the demand forecast and take action to meet demand spikes before they happen; b. Monitor utilization and take action if it is trending upward and there is no reason believe this trend will not continue; c. Use FIFO (First-In-First-Out) wherever possible; d. Order materials on as close to a real-time basis as possible, being cautious about quantity discounts; e. Try not to change factors around in the organization constantly, as this becomes confusing and learning how factors relate to outcomes becomes difficult; f. Move toward one-piece flow, though one-piece flow may not make sense in all cases; move away from large batches; g. Look for bottlenecks and take action to eliminate them; h. Look for ways of streamlining the operation before investing in capital; i. Invest in capital if necessary but sell capital only when the operation is actually closed unless an entire product line or other large-scale change has occurred;

Did you encounter another principle of capacity planning and management that you find particularly intriguing or applicable to your work environment?

A newly issued bond pays its coupons once a year. Its coupon rate is 4.1%, its maturity is 15 years, and its yield to maturity is 7.1%.

a. Find the holding-period return for a one-year investment period if the bond is selling at a yield to maturity of 6.1% by the end of the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

b. If you sell the bond after one year when its yield is 6.1%, what taxes will you owe if the tax rate on interest income is 40% and the tax rate on capital gains income is 30%? The bond is subject to original-issue discount (OID) tax treatment.

c. What is the after-tax holding-period return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

After-tax holding-period return __________  %

d. Find the realized compound yield before taxes for a two-year holding period, assuming that (i) you sell the bond after two years, (ii) the bond yield is 6.1% at the end of the second year, and (iii) the coupon can be reinvested for one year at a 2.1% interest rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Realized compound yield before taxes ________%

e. Use the tax rates in part (b) to compute the after-tax two-year realized compound yield. Remember to take account of OID tax rules. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

After-tax two-year realized compound yield _________ %
