Case 2 Hypothyroidism: Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Shirley Tai is a 43-year-old elementary school teacher. At her annual checkup, Shirley complained that,
despite eating less, she had gained 16 lb. in the past year. Her physician might have attributed this
weight gain to “getting older” except that Shirley also complained that she has very little energy, always
feels cold (when everyone else is hot), is constipated, and has heavy menstrual flow every month. In
addition, the physician noticed that Shirley’s neck was very full. The physician suspected that Shirley
had hypothyroidism and ordered laboratory tests (Table 2).
Table 2 Shirley Tai’s Laboratory Values and Test Results
T 4 3.1 ug/dL (normal 5-12 ug/dL)
TSH 85 mU/L (normal, 1.3 – 5 mU/L)
T 3 resin uptake Decreased
Thyroid antimicrosomal antibodies Increased
Based on the physical findings and laboratory results, Shirley’s physician concluded that Shirley had
autoimmune (Hashimoto) thyroiditis and prescribed oral administration of synthetic T 4 (L-thyroxine).
The physician planned to determine the correct dosage of T 4 by monitoring the TSH level in Shirley’s
blood.
Questions
1. Sketch the diagram for the regulation of thyroid hormone secretion by the hypothalamic –
anterior pituitary – thyroid axis. List the two potential mechanisms that could result in
decreased secretion of thyroid hormones and indicate where the problem for each lies on the
diagram. How might you distinguish between these mechanisms as potential causes for
Shirley’s hypothyroidism

Aaron Heath is seeking part-time employment while he attends school. He is considering purchasing technical equipment that will enable him to start a small training services company that will offer tutorial services over the Internet. Aaron expects demand for the service to grow rapidly in the first two years of operation as customers learn about the availability of the Internet assistance. Thereafter, he expects demand to stabilize. The following table presents the expected cash flows:

In addition to these cash flows, Aaron expects to pay $21,300 for the equipment. He also expects to pay $3,200 for a major overhaul and updating of the equipment at the end of the second year of operation. The equipment is expected to have a $1,300 salvage value and a four year useful life. Aaron desires to earn a rate of return of 9 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Required

1. Calculate the net present value of the investment opportunity. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

2. Indicate whether the investment opportunity is expected to earn a return that is above or below the desired rate of return and whether it should be accepted.

In 1997, 35 countries signed the convention of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to make it a crime to bribe foreign officials. In May 1999, the OECD issued a series of six principles (updated in 2004) that have since become the basis of the corporate governance position of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, in 2015 alone:

• In February 2015, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. agreed to pay $16.2 million to settle charges from the SEC under FCPA for the payment of bribes in Kenya and Angola to increase tire sales. Goodyear subsidiaries were accused of paying more than $3.2 million in bribes to employees of state-owned and private companies between 2007 and 2011.

• In May 2015, BHP Billiton paid $25 million to settle SEC charges in relation to FCPA offenses. BHP had been accused of improperly sponsoring foreign government officials as guests at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. The case was settled through an internal administrative order without going to court.

• In July 2015, New Jersey-based construction management company Louis Berger International paid $17.1 million to resolve FCPA criminal offenses. In the resolution, the company admitted paying bribes to foreign officials in India, Indonesia, Kuwait, and Vietnam in order to win contracts. The settlement included a deferred prosecution agreement that will require a compliance monitor for at least three years.

• In September 2015, Hitachi Ltd. paid $19 million to resolve SEC charges. The case was brought in relation to payments made to South Africa’s ruling page 123political party in connection with contracts to build two multimillion-dollar power plants.

American companies operating under increasing federal and regulatory scrutiny face real consequences from trying to do business in a global business environment in which foreign business seems to function on the basis of “gifts” at every stage of the transaction.

• In December 2012, the SEC charged Eli Lilly and Co. with violations of the FCPA for improper payments made by subsidiaries to foreign government officials in Russia, Brazil, China, and Poland; and accepted a settlement in the amount of $29 million for offenses including the following:

  The SEC alleged that the Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company’s subsidiary in Russia used offshore ‘marketing agreements’ to pay millions of dollars to third parties chosen by government customers or distributors, despite knowing little or nothing about the third parties beyond their offshore address and bank account information.

  Employees at Lilly’s subsidiary in China falsified expense reports in order to provide spa treatments, jewelry, and other improper gifts and cash payments to government-employed physicians.

  Lilly’s subsidiary in Poland made eight improper payments totaling $39,000 to a small charitable foundation that was founded and administered by the head of one of the regional government health authorities in exchange for the official’s support for placing Lilly drugs on the government reimbursement list.

  In November 2012, the Department of Justice issued a 120-page “Resource Guide” to the FCPA, including numerous case studies designed to clarify what actions would and would not be considered to be violations of the law. The guide was written as a resource for DOJ attorneys, but attorneys in private practice are encouraging their clients to become familiar with it.

QUESTIONS

1. Is it ethical for U.S. regulations to put U.S. companies at an apparent disadvantage to their foreign competitors? Explain why or why not.
2. If foreign companies pay bribes, does that make it OK for U.S. companies to do the same? Explain why or why not.
3. If you could prove that new jobs, new construction, and valuable tax revenue would come to the United States if the bribe were paid, would that change your position? Explain your answer.

You are now a leader. What you do and say is important. Please read the following situation in its entirety.  

1) Write 3 sentences or more about what you will say to the new men now under your command?

1. You can write a script of what exactly you would say, or
2. Write about the topic or thing you would want to convey to the men.

After you are done. Go find Prof. Grooms' comment. There is a video of what possibly the real Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain said.

You are also free to comment on your classmates' posts, but you are not required.

A Leadership Moment

It is May 24, 1863, and you are 34-year-old Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, commanding officer of the 20^th Maine Regiment of Infantry. You have been with the 20^th Maine since it was founded less than a year ago in late summer, 1862, but you took command of the regiment only four days ago. Your unit is currently marching through Virginia as part of a larger Union army that is on course to engage General Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army.

Everything you know about military command you have learned in the last nine months. Prior to the war, you were a professor of modern languages at Bowdoin College in Maine, with no military experience. To the surprise and regret of your academic colleagues, your passion for the Union cause led you to sign up. Your colleagues had sent a message to the Governor of Maine saying that you were “no fighter,” but the Governor had nonetheless appointed you a Lt. Colonel in Maine’s newest regiment.

You have just received a message that you are to be given charge of about 120 new troops from the 2^nd Maine. You need them – your unit began with about a thousand men when it was formed, but a combination of illness, injuries, deaths, and desertion have left you with fewer than 400.

The new troops would be good news except for the fact that they are mutineers. The 2^nd Maine has been decommissioned. A majority of its members had signed two-year contracts, and they have gone home. Left behind were 120 survivors who had signed for three years. After fighting in 11 battles and losing most of their fellow soldiers, they are tired and discouraged. They want to go home too, and they have stubbornly refused assignment to any other regiment.

In transferring these soldiers to your regiment, General George Meade has ordered you to “make them do duty or shoot them down the moment they refuse.” The mutineers have just been dropped in your regiment’s lap, still in uniform but disarmed. One of their number has been elected as a spokesman to relate their grievances. You meet him, and he explains that they had not been fed in several days (part of an effort by the Army to whip them into line), most of their fellow soldiers had died or gone home, they had fought and suffered in numerous battles, they were discouraged with the pace of the war and expected that the Union would probably lose, in no small part because the leadership of Union officers was so poor.

Your regiment will be moving out shortly. You need to talk to the 120 soldiers from the 2^nd Maine. They’re yours now. What is your plan, and what will you say to them? Will you bring them along under guard? Order them to fight? Shoot them if they refuse? Persuade them to join your unit? If so, how? You don’t have much time to choose a course of action and put it into motion.

West Wells is considering opening a new branch. The company expects the new branch’s EBIT to be $10 million per year. At this time, the company is considering the following two financing plans:

• Plan 1: Equity financing. Under this plan, 3 million common shares will be sold at $12 each.
• Plan 2: Debt-equity financing. Under this plan, $20 million of 12 percent long-term debt and 1.6 million common shares at $10 each will be sold.

Use a 40 percent marginal tax rate in your analysis and calculate the EBIT-EPS indifference point.

A new fuel injection system has been engineered for pickup trucks. The new system and the old system both produce about the same average miles per gallon. However, engineers question which system (old or new) will give better consistency in fuel consumption (miles per gallon) under a variety of driving conditions. A random sample of 31 trucks were fitted with the new fuel injection system and driven under different conditions. For these trucks, the sample variance of gasoline consumption was 53.6. Another random sample of 23 trucks were fitted with the old fuel injection system and driven under a variety of different conditions. For these trucks, the sample variance of gasoline consumption was 33.7. Test the claim that there is a difference in population variance of gasoline consumption for the two injection systems. Use a 5% level of significance. How could your test conclusion relate to the question regarding the consistency of fuel consumption for the two fuel injection systems?
