- Nancy John, a bright, female investment analyst about to give a major presentation to a group of bankers supporting a corporate acquisition. After walking in and meeting the bankers before you give the presentation, you're asked by your boss to "be a dear and serve them coffee." Imagine the insult and awkwardness of such a situation-what do you do? Do you carry through with the task, sacrificing your dignity or doing something wrong because you can't afford to lose the job? Or do you speak up? A group of Swiss occupational health researchers have recently started a program of research on illegitimate tasks, or tasks that violate "norms about what can reasonably be expected from a given person" in a job. Question: 1. What do you think of this situation? 2. What might cause supervisors and managers within organizations to allocate these kinds of tasks? 3. Can you explain it based on 'positive reinforcement' behavior and suggest some suggestion?arrow_forwardMr Lizard is a company director of FoneMe Ltd, which is a very large public company providing internet services to over 4 million subscribers. He attends a meeting of the Board of Directors and they decide that they should takeover a smaller startup company called MaKeIt Ltd. This means they will be buying up the shares in MaKeIt Ltd which usually means the share price in the target company will rise in value. Lizard decides this is an opportunity too good to pass up. So he leaves the Board meeting and buys 200,000 shares in MaKeIt Ltd before the decision of the Board is made available to the public. He makes a nice profit of over $500,000 and rejects any criticism from the share sellers as "luck of the market". Using the IRAC format, explain whether this is permissable share trading. Your answer must include relevant legislation and decided cases..arrow_forwardJill Davis tells her broker that she does not want to sell her stocks that are below the price she paid for them.

His secretary has blown up his computer, but he knows he has the funds to replace it in the accumulated depreciation account. You know he is wrong and have grown tired of listening to him going on about it, but he won’t listen to what you have to say. You decide to put him out of his misery by writing a letter to him about it that he may actually read before he realises that it is telling him things he does not want to hear.

Two years later, after IBM's stock price had fallen considerably, your firm won the IBM audit contract. You will be involved in working with the IBM audit. You know that your firm's rules require that you sell your shares immediately. If you do sell immediately, you will sustain a large loss. Do you think this is fair?

Had the line of credit not been renewed, RR would not have been able to make payroll, potentially forcing the company out of business. Although the line of credit was ultimately renewed, the scare has forced Johnson to examine carefully each component of RR’s working capital to make sure it is needed, with the goal of determining whether the line of credit can be eliminated entirely. In addition to (possibly) freeing RR from the need for a line of credit, Johnson is well aware that reducing working capital can also add value to a company by improving its EVA (Economic Value Added). In her corporate finance course Johnson learned that EVA is calculated by taking net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) and then…arrow_forwardKaren Johnson, CFO for Raucous Roasters (RR), a specialty coffee manufacturer, is rethinking her company’s working capital policy considering a recent scare she faced when RR’s corporate banker, citing a nationwide credit crunch, balked at renewing RR’s line of credit.

Why? 2) How does a profitable capital market help reduce the prices of goods and services? 3) The SEC attempts to protect investors who purchase newly issued securities by requiring issuers to provide relevant financial information to potential investors. The SEC does not provide an opinion on the actual value of the securities.Therefore, a reckless investor could pay too much for some shares and consequently lose a lot. Do you think the SEC should, as part of each new offering of stocks or bonds, give investors an opinion on the appropriate value of the securities being offered? Explainarrow_forwardAt a recent board meeting of Dartig Co, a non-executive director suggested that the company’s remuneration committee should consider scrapping the company’s current share option scheme, since executive directors could be rewarded by the scheme even when they did not perform well. A second non-executive director disagreed, saying the problem was that even when directors acted in ways which decreased the agency problem, they might not be rewarded by the share option scheme if the stock market were in decline. Explain the nature of the agency problem. Discuss the use of share option schemes and performance-related pay as methods of reducing the agency problem in a stock-market listed company such as Dartig Co.
