Harrison​ Holdings, Inc.​ (HHI) is publicly​ traded, with a current share price of $ 40 per share. HHI has 30 million shares​ outstanding, as well as $ 61 million in debt. The founder of​ HHI, Harry​ Harrison, made his fortune in the fast food business. He sold off part of his fast food​ empire, and purchased a professional hockey team.​ HHI's only assets are the hockey​ team, together with 50 % of the outstanding shares of​ Harry's Hotdogs restaurant chain.​ Harry's Hotdogs​ (HDG) has a market capitalization of $ 816 ​million, and an enterprise value of $ 1.08 billion. After a little​ research, you find that the average asset beta of other fast food restaurant chains is 0.74. You also find that the debt of HHI and HDG is highly​ rated, and so you decide to estimate the beta of both​ firms' debt as zero.​ Finally, you do a regression analysis on​ HHI's historical stock returns in comparison to the​ S&P 500, and estimate an equity beta of 1.37. Given this​ information, estimate the beta of​ HHI's investment in the hockey team.

Murphy’s Brewhouse was a rapidly expanding chain of home-brew bars. The beer was not very good, but hopes were high when the company went public three years ago, because of founder/owner Kevin Murphy’s promotional skills.

At the time the company went public, Murphy’s also issued $50 million of 20-year maturity debentures at a coupon rate of 9 percent. These debentures were sold at par ($1,000 per bond). Shortly after this debenture issue, Murphy’s received some very negative reviews, both in the gourmet beer magazines and on Wall Street. The company is currently struggling. Its stock has plummeted from $40 per share three years ago to less than $5. Earnings remain positive but disappointing at $0.03 per share, and the company is barely breaking even on a cash flow basis.

Murphy’s debentures are currently selling at 40 cents on the dollar. The debentures are callable two years from now at $1,090. If you require a 20 percent rate of return on investments of this perceived risk level, should you buy these debentures?

Problem 3 MGMT 61000 Final Exam; Lynn Turner- PUID-00311127131 Pricing stock for Initial Public Offering Ten years ago, Video Toys began manufacturing and selling coin-operated arcade games. The company has done well in that dividends have been growing at a 15% compounded annual rate for the past five years. The last Dividend paid, which was just yesterday, was $1.50 per share. The annual growth rate of 15% is expected to be maintained for the next 3 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at half the rate for 1 year. Beyond that time, Video Toys' dividends are expected to grow at 5% per year. A.

Management is planning a two-for-seven reverse stock split to increase the stock price and bring it closer to the average stock price in the industry.

1.    How many shares will he own after the reverse stock split?
2. What is the anticipated price of the stock after the reverse stock split?
3.    Because investors often have a negative reaction to a reverse stock split, assume the stock only goes up to 85 percent of the value computed in part b. What will the stock’s price be?
4. How will the total value of John Thornton’s holdings change from before the reverse stock split to after the reverse stock split (based on the stock value computed in part c)?

In writing the background for this weekend’s homework assignment, I realized that I didn’t need to spend much time with the introduction of the company. Everyone knows Amazon, as a matter of fact, most of us shop on Amazon for many things that we use in our daily life. The company is one of the largest in the world and has over 500,000 employees. The CEO and founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, was interviewed at an awards ceremony in 2016 and this ten minute interview was recorded and posted on Youtube. The link appears below:

As you listen to the ten or so guiding principles that Mr. Bezos describes as being at the core of Amazon’s success, please:

#1)Identify the top two with which you most identify. Explain the reasons for your selections.

#2) Refer to the descriptions of the four types of organizational cultures, which appear at the end of Chapter 3 in your textbook.
