...Husky Energy Inc; Foreign Exposure, Portfolio Analysis Phillip Oliveira Sheridan College FINA30065 March 22, 2015 Husky Energy; Foreign Exchange Exposure Husky Energy is Canadian, vertically integrated oil and gas retailer, operating “555 gas stations in Canada” (Hoover’s Inc, 2015), along with oil refining operations in the Canadian oil sands and off-shore Newfoundland and Labrador refineries. They are also operating the Liwan Gas Project, which consists of a 40% “working interest in the Wenchang oil field in the South China Sea”. (Husky Energy Inc., 2015) They are also planning further offshore developments in Indonesia. Husky itself, is actually controlled by Hutchison Whampoa Lmt, a Chinese investment holding company. (Hoover’s Inc, 2015) While Husky is an international oil extraction company. As the majority of Husky’s operations are located in Canada, it is primarily a Canadian company. Its operations in both China and Indonesia though, it faces exchange rate exposure from both the Chinese Yuan and the Indonesian Rupiah. This is because it currently owns a 40% stake in the Chinese Wenchang oil field extraction operation, and has plans to develop oil fields in Indonesia. Assuming that local Chinese labour will be used for the construction and operation of these facilities, all labour cost will be incurred in local currencies. Also, it can be assumed that materials suppliers and contractors will be acquired from local suppliers in order to cut down on transportation...

...The ABC’s of Failure – Getting Rid of the Noise in Your System For the past 40 years, I have observed many companies, including DuPont (where I spent 27 years) pursuing planned maintenance with the standard tools of planned maintenance: inspections, planning, scheduling, materials procurement, CMMS systems, etc. with the same results. They succeed for a while and get their percent planned and scheduled maintenance up to the 80+ only to see that drop back later to 60 I am amazed how many of the companies we work with have had this experience. This pattern of behavior has led us to conclude that the reason for this experience is that only 60% of the normal work of maintenance is inherently plannable. The rest of the work is created by random acts of what we are now calling care-lessness. The sites where we see people break this pattern and achieve 92% to 96% planned maintenance for the long term without regressing, are the ones who eliminate the inherently unplannable work. Of course, this cannot be done by maintenance alone. Everyone who does work at a site contributes to the defects that create the unplannable work, and therefore everyone must participate in eliminating the defects that create the 40% of the work that is unplannable. In the diagram below we attempt to more clearly articulate the true significance of Defect Elimination by outlining the ABC’s of failure. Fundamentally, failures happen because things that exist are not perfect. To reduce failures we must eliminate...

...10 Largest Stock Exchanges from Asia, Europe, Africa and America: 1. Asia: i. Bombay Stock Exchange: The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its history to the 1850s, when four Gujarati and one Parsi stockbroker would gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times, as the number of brokers constantly increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an official organization known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'. In 1956, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government under the Securities Contracts Regulation Act. The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the BSE SENSEX in 1986, giving the BSE a means to measure overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index to open its derivatives market, trading SENSEX futures contracts. The development of SENSEX options along with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the BSE's trading platform. The equity market capitalization of the companies listed on the BSE was US$1 trillion as of December 2011, making it the 6th largest stock exchange in Asia and the 14th largest in the world.[1] The BSE has the largest number of listed companies in the world. As of December 2011, there are over 5,112 listed Indian companies and over 8,196 scrips on the stock exchange,[3] the Bombay Stock Exchange has a significant trading volume...

...ANNUALREPORT2009 Dear Shareholders: In 2009, our comp sales declined by 6.6 percent, with total sales down 7.2 percent. Earnings per share from continuing operations were up 13.1 percent from last year, but on an adjusted basis declined 6.7 percent. At the end of 2008, the U.S. economy was in the most severe recession it has experienced since the great depression. We planned for this tough economic environment, and we executed well against our plan, exceeding the sales and earnings targets we set forth at the beginning of the year. We gained over 100 basis points of U.S. market share in 2009, a notable accomplishment on a base of fewer stores. We saw sequential improvement in our performance during the year and exited the year with a positive comp in the fourth quarter. We also saw signs of stabilization in some key macroeconomic indicators, such as Private Fixed Residential Investment as a percent of GDP. In Canada, the demand for home improvement products is showing improvement. And our Mexican team delivered positive comps for the year in a very tough economic environment. As we look to 2010, we believe we will see modest economic recovery in the markets we serve and expect our performance to continue to improve as the economy undergoes a steady, though slow, recovery. As a company, we made significant progress against our strategic imperatives in 2009. We enhanced customer service in our stores, introduced new and innovative products with compelling values...

I Outline the stress process from stressors to consequences. I Identify the different types of stressors in the workplace. I Explain why a stressor might produce different stress levels in two people. I Discuss the physiological, psychological, and behavioural effects of stress. I Identify five ways to manage workplace stress. S ylvia Noreen thought that working at a small hospital in Prince Edward Island would reduce the stress she had experienced as a nurse in Ontario for 17 years. Instead, she discovered that Stewart Memorial Hospital nurses in Tyne Valley also experience unacceptable stress levels due to budget cuts and staff shortages. “There can be a lot of demands made on you,” says Noreen. “The workload can get quite strenuous at times.” With no vacations during her first year at Stewart, Noreen’s scheduled days off were precious time to recharge her batteries. Unfortunately, those moments were fewer than she had hoped. “We’re faced with being called back on our days off,” Noreen says. “It is trying at times.” Canadian nurses and other health care workers are feeling some of the highest levels of stress and burnout of any occupation across the country. With Montreal-area emergency rooms filled to 167 percent, nurses at St. Luc Hospital in Montreal recently...

...The Home Depot 2008 Annual Report Dear Shareholders: In 2008, our retail sales declined by 7.8 percent, with comp sales down 8.7 percent. Our adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations declined 22 percent. In ordinary times, these would be very disappointing results. But 2008 was not an ordinary year. Despite the difficult economic environment, we continued to improve our retail business, through investing in our associates and our stores, rebuilding our supply chain and improving customer service. We also made several strategic decisions to optimize our capital allocation, concentrating our efforts on our core business. In the first quarter, we closed 15 underperforming stores and reduced our pipeline of new stores by 50. In the third quarter, we renegotiated our private label credit card agreement, capping our cost of private label credit. In the fourth quarter, we announced our decision to exit EXPO and related businesses. These actions will make the Company stronger. On the financial side, we ended the year with a solid operating profit and $41 billion in assets. We generated cash from the business of approximately $5.5 billion, which allowed us to invest in the business where necessary and reduce our debt obligations while maintaining a healthy dividend. On the operational side, we implemented an “Aprons on the Floor” initiative, which deployed over $200 million in annualized savings onto the floor of the stores for customer service...
