RAK, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $150,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $36,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 15 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 25 percent lower. RAK is considering a $95,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 8 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 6,000 shares outstanding.

________

Please re-write my answer by using another words.. I need new and unique answers, please. (Use your own words, don't copy and paste)

1.

A paper manufacturing organization:

The operations process here will have the entire supply chain comprising of sourcing to inventory management to production to finished goods storage to dispatch. The production process will be a major operations area that will involve issue of raw material from stock to the flow of this material through different processes at plant. There would be WIP/inventory at the end of each process step. Finally the end product will be packed as per specifications post inspection and stored for dispatch to customers.

There will be several decisions required to be taken here like what kind of raw material inventory to keep and the reorder points for the same, what capacity planning to be done depending on the demand, the processes/machines to be run as per the timelines and monthly targets defined, the internal mapping of manpower to processes, the output to be dispatched at the right time to the customers will all quality specifications met

An internal design office: An internal design office will be service organization working for clients to provide designs be it for architectural purposes or for home furnishing industry, etc. Here the operation process will be more streamlined and simpler where based on customer requirements, there will be team assigned to work on software to come up with the required design. One change here that we will see compared to a paper manufacturing organization is that even when the design is made, it can undergo iterations basis feedback received from customers.

The operations decisions will largely be on the expected timelines for creating a design, the manpower required to finish the project, the requirement for additional tools/software to aid in completion of work, etc.

2.

Marketing: Marketing may see this as an internal shift of thought process and their outgoing communication to stakeholders need to be aligned accordingly

Finance will see this as a change in the operating model and the MIS and operating performance need to be tracked likewise so that the accountability for the profitability of different work centers is not compromised

Human resources may feel concerned about the existing manpower and the skills they possess whether adequate to make this move

Accounting will need to look at the costs in a different manner compared to what was being done in a batch process and align with Finance

Information systems will need an overhaul as there would be a major ERP change due to this

3.

A soap factory is a manufacturing unit which has raw materials procured from different vendors, the raw materials are stored in a central location, issued in batches for production based on demand outlook and manufactured at different steps. The end product is then packed in the packing dept. and post inspection stored in batched ready to be dispatched to distributors/sellers

Prompt 1
MM’s dividend irrelevance theory states that dividend policy does not affect either stock prices or the required rate of return on equity. This implies that shareholders should be indifferent as to which form of payout the firm chooses. At the same time, firms spend a good amount of resources over planning their payout policies.

• Discuss why firms spend so much time and money planning their payout policies if it doesn’t affect stock or the required rate of return on equity?

Prompt 2
Now, read the description/report below (from page 497-9 of your textbook).

We forecasted the total market demand for our products, what our share of the market is likely to be, and our required investments in capital assets and working capital. Using this information, we developed projected balance sheets and income statements for the period 2015–2019.

Our 2014 dividends totaled $50 million, or $2.00 per share. On the basis of projected earnings, cash flows, and capital requirements, we can increase the dividend by 6% per year. This would be consistent with a payout ratio of 42%, on average, over the forecast period. Any faster dividend growth rate would require us to sell common stock, cut the capital budget, or raise the debt ratio. Any slower growth rate would lead to increases in the common equity ratio. Therefore, I recommend that the Board increase the dividend for 2015 by 6%, to $2.12, and that it plan for similar increases in the future.

Events over the next 5 years will undoubtedly lead to differences between our forecasts and actual results. If and when such events occur, we should reexamine our position. However, I am confident that we can meet random cash shortfalls by increasing our borrowings—we have unused debt capacity that gives us flexibility in this regard.

We ran the corporate model under several scenarios. If the economy totally collapses, our earnings will not cover the dividend. However, in all likely scenarios our cash flows would cover the recommended dividend. I know the Board does not want to push the dividend up to a level where we would have to cut it under poor economic conditions. Our model runs indicate, though, that the $2.12 dividend could be maintained under any reasonable set of forecasts. Only if we increased the dividend to more than $3.00 would we be seriously exposed to the danger of having to reduce it.

I might also note that most analysts’ reports are forecasting that our dividends will grow in the 5% to 6% range. Thus, if we go to $2.12, we will be at the high end of the forecast range, which should give our stock a boost. With takeover rumors so widespread, getting the stock price up a bit would make us all breathe a little easier.

Finally, we considered distributing cash to shareholders through a stock repurchase program. Here we would reduce the dividend payout ratio and use the funds generated to buy our stock on the open market. Such a program has several advantages, but it would also have drawbacks. I do not recommend that we institute a stock repurchase program at this time. However, if our free cash flows exceed our forecasts, I would recommend that we use these surpluses to buy back stock. Also, I plan to continue looking into a regular repurchase program, and I may recommend such a program in the future.

• Discuss how stable this firm seems to be based on the payout policy they are undertaking.

Having those files please adjust the following tasks.

When the user fills out the registration, all information is inserted into a database table.

When the user signs in, all information is verified from the database table.

You can either create your own table on your machine or use the demo server table for testing. Remember the table name and the fields must be exactly as shown below.

If you are using your own table, you must change the connection info as shown below before uploading to the demo server. Then you must test to make sure it works correctly on the demo server.

The table name will be 'account'.

The fields in the table are:

username - 20 char

password - 50 char

name - 20 char

email - 50 char

Make sure that all field names are the same upper and lowercase letters as shown above.

The password will still be encrypted when stored in the database.

You must insert data into the table using your program. Do not assume anything is on the table.

When creating userids and passwords, use something unique, as your classmates will be sharing the same table.

You are to create a program to request user input and store the data in an array of structures, and then display the data as requested. The data you are collecting refers to a set of images. The images are OCT images taken of the lining of the bladder. The data you provide will help diagnose the image as cancerous or not, but your code does not need to do that at the moment.

1) Define a global structure that contains the following information:

a) File number (must be >0)

b) Diagnosis number (1-8)

c) Number of layers in the image

d) Maximum average intensity of a single row (should be a float)

e) Width of brightest layer

2) Declare an array of 9 of the structures in #1. This array should be a global variable.

3) Initialize each of the file numbers in the array to -1.

4) Create a loop that will continue asking the user for the above data until the file number 0 is given, or until information has been provided for 9 images.

5) If the user provides a file number less than 0, ask again. Do not ask for further information if the user provides a file number equal to 0.

6) If the user provides a diagnosis number that is not between 1 and 8, ask again.

7) Store the data in the array of structures in the order it is provided.

8) Write a function to display the information for a particular file number. If the file number was not found, nothing is displayed. The function will return a 1 if the file number was found or a 0 if the file number was not in the array.

9) In your main function, after the loop which requests the data, create another loop that will request a file number from the user and then call the function written for #8 to display the data for that file number. This loop will continue until a file number is provided that is not found.

10) In your main function, after the code for #9, add a loop that will display the information for all items stored in the array in order.
