Owen Mills Limited began its operations on Trumpet Land, a beautiful island in
the Caribbean with a very diverse population in terms of age, gender, ethnicity,
religion, disability, sexual orientation, education, and origin. In 1970, at the age of
twenty-eight (28), Owen Mills a progressive thinking young man decided to start
his own business. His father had worked as a Manager at a large department store
in the city of Trumpet Land for as long as Owen can remember, and his father
would share his daily experiences. The idea of operating his own business was
always at the forefront of Owen’s mind. After gaining four (4) Advanced Level
subjects (Mathematics, Geography, English Literature and Spanish), Owen got a
job at a large Credit Union where he moved up the ranks from a Customer Service
Clerk to Supervisory level within four (4) years and then onto being a Credit
Officer.
During his time at the Credit Union, Owen attended a number of short
management courses. This built his confidence that someday soon he will achieve
his dream of being a big business man. At age twenty-eight (28) Owen thought
that he had saved sufficient money along with his wife who worked at another
Credit Union, so that they could purchase a small one-story building in the heart of
the city. The building was at the corner of French Street and John Street, the main
street in the city. The building was refurbished and painted in bright red, and blue
to suit the liking of Mr. Mills. He thought to himself “No one could miss this
building” and he also thought of a tag line. Business started in February 1970.

From the inception of the business to date, the tagline emblazoned at the front of
the store “We have all that you want!’ has remained.
The Early Years
Owen Mills Limited operated as a sole proprietorship for many years selling
almost every item that a household could want, staying true to his tagline. The
business began with five (5) employees: his wife serving as the cashier, two store
clerks, one driver and a cleaner. The store was well sectioned with a variety of
items as shown in Table #1 below.

As a forward-thinking entrepreneur, Mr. Owen Mills is pondering going into
manufacturing something, but he has to think carefully about the product to
be manufactured. Therefore, he needs to understand what the Value Chain
is about as well as the types of strategies that he could utilize to gain a
competitive advantage.

1.What information would you provide to Mr. Mills and his family regarding
the Value Chain as they think seriously about going into the manufacturing
sector?

Steve Murningham, manager of an electronics division, was considering an offer by Pat Sellers, manager of a sister division. Pat's division was operating below capacity and had just been given an opportunity to produce 8,000 units of one of its products for a customer in a market not normally served. The opportunity involves a product that uses an electrical component produced by Steve's division. Each unit that Pat's division produces requires two of the components. However, the price that the customer is willing to pay is well below the price that is usually charged; to make a reasonable profit on the order, Pat needs a price concession from Steve's division. Pat had offered to pay full manufacturing cost for the parts. So Steve would know that everything was above board, Pat supplied the following unit cost and price information concerning the special order, excluding the cost of the electrical component:

Selling price            $32

Less costs:

Direct materials        17

Direct labour              7

Variable overhead     2

Fixed overhead           3

Operating profit        $3

The normal selling price of the electrical component is $2.30 per unit. Its full manufacturing cost is $1.85 ($1.05 variable and $0.80 fixed). Pat argued that paying $2.30 per component would wipe out the operating profit and result in her division showing a loss. Steve was interested in the offer because his division was also operating below capacity (the order would not use all the excess capacity).

Required:

1. Should Steve accept the order at a selling price of $1.85 per unit? By how much will his division's profits be changed if the order is accepted? By how much will the profits of Pat's division change if Steve agrees to supply the part at full cost?

2. Suppose that Steve offers to supply the component at $2. In offering this price, Steve says that it is a firm offer, not subject to negotiation. Should Pat accept this price and produce the special order? If Pat accepts the price, what is the change in profits for Steve's division?

3. Assume that Steve's division is operating at flail capacity and that Steve refuses to 'supply the part for less than the full price. Should Pat still accept the special order? Explain.

Russia’s Alternative Currency Bonds.

On March 17, 2018, the Russian Federation issued USD 4bn in eurobonds (what are they?) with an unusual provision.

Working for the chief investment officer (CInvO) of NoNaCaPa (No-Name Capital Partners), a prominent hedge fund, you are analyzing the bonds to determine what their risk and rewards are.    Your company is USD based but not averse to taking on foreign currency risk to enhance a position’s return potential. Your starting point is the attached Financial Times article which you supplement by your own research. In particular, you wonder about the alternative-currency clause in the indenture (debt contract) and how it might affect the investment performance of the bonds.

(a) Research dual- or multiple-currency debt securities which are typically issued in the eurobond market.

• What do they consist of?   How can you unbundle the bonds into its constituent parts?

• What are eurobonds?

(b) In comparison to multiple curency bonds, what does the alternative currency payment provision effectively amount to?

(c) What motivates the alternative currency payment provision and how does it affect the pricing of the bonds?

(d) What risk factors do investors face?   Present the risks in tabular form distinguishing between financial from nonfinancial risks which obviously translate into financial risks at a later stage. Identify each risk’s origin and nature,who bears it, its impact on bond pricing, and whether and how investors can hedge or not against it.

(e) What investment recommendation would you give to your CInvO? Explain your advice and motivate your investment thesis, i.e., the rationale why or why not you should participate in the transaction.
