...Depreciation at Delta and Singapore Airlines Case (Introduction) A question is asked, “What makes a business successful?” While this question can have many answers, the financial standing among of the businesses in comparison can make a strong argument. One way to tell how financially fit said business by looking at the net earnings Airline companies consider Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E) as a significant portion under the asset category on the balance sheet. 1. Calculate the annual depreciation expense that Delta and Singapore would record for each $100 gross value of aircraft. (a) For Delta, what was its annual depreciation expense (per $100 of gross aircraft value) prior to July 1, 1986; from July 1, 1986 through March 31, 1993; and from April 1, 1993 on? 1a. Pre- 1986: (100-10)/10 = 9 annual depreciation 1986-1993: (100-10)/15 = 6 annual depreciation 1993-beyond: (100-5)/20 = 4.75 annual depreciation (b) For Singapore, what was its annual depreciation expense (per $100 of gross aircraft value) prior to April 1, 1989; and from April 1, 1989 on? 1b. Pre-1989: (100-10)/8 = 11.25 annual depreciation 1989-on: (100-20)/10 = 8 annual depreciation 2. Are the differences in the ways that the two airlines account for depreciation expense significant?

...MANAGING F OREIGN E XCHANGE R ISK WITH DERIVATIVES by Gregory W. Brown* The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill May, 2000 Version 3.4 Abstract This study investigates the foreign exchange risk management program of HDG Inc. (pseudonym), an industry leading manufacturer of durable equipment with sales in more than 50 countries. The analysis relies primarily on a three month field study in the treasury of HDG. Precise examination of factors affecting why and how the firm manages its foreign exchange exposure are explored through the use of internal firm documents, discussions with managers, and data on 3110 foreign-exchange derivative transactions over a three and a half year period. Results indicate that several commonly cited reasons for corporate hedging are probably not the primary motivation for why HDG undertakes a risk management program. Instead, informational asymmetries, facilitation of internal contracting, and competitive pricing concerns seem to motivate hedging. How HDG hedges depends on accounting treatment, derivative market liquidity, foreign exchange volatility, exposure volatility, technical factors, and recent hedging outcomes. * Department of Finance, Kenan-Flagler Business School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, CB 3490 – McColl Building, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3490.

Our supply-demand model for domestic air traffic implies 14% growth in passengers as evidenced from firm aircraft orders and latest delivery schedules. With yield management becoming the singular strategy lever for Indian Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs), cost structures assume high importance and structural asymmetries will decide the competitive edge for the airlines. However, much of these asymmetries in cost structure are inherited from the fleet strategy adopted by various airlines, hence normally have a long-lasting impact on their balance sheets. High operating leverage proves fatal in a cyclical downturn where balance sheet strength is vital. At the comfort of hindsight, bulk orders have benefitted IndiGo with valuable incentives, which have given it the structural advantage of lower rentals, while single fleet focus and strong balance sheet have lent IndiGo asymmetrical advantages on maintenance costs, redelivery expenses and supplementary rentals...

...9-201-028 REV: APRIL 26, 2004 BENJAMIN ESTY Airbus A3XX: Developing the World's Largest Commercial Jet (A) Aviation is a great business to be in, provided you have limitless money at your disposal, limitless confidence in your ability to get everything right the 1 first time, and limitless resolve and iron nerve. EADS (Airbus) is betting the company on this aircraft. 2 On June 23, 2000, Airbus Industrie’s Supervisory Board approved an Authorization to Offer (ATO) the A3XX, a proposed super jumbo jet that would seat from 550 to 990 passengers, have a list price of $216 million, and cost $13 billion to develop. Before the Board would commit to industrial launch, the point at which significant expenditures would begin, it hoped to secure orders for 50 jets from as many as five major airlines. While Airbus had been courting potential customers for many years—in fact, development had been underway since 1990—the ATO gave the sales force permission to begin taking firm orders for the plane with delivery starting in 2006. Airbus management announced the first orders for the A3XX at the bi-annual Air Show in Farnborough, England, in July 2000. Noël Forgeard, Airbus’ CEO, reported that Air France, Emirates Airlines, and International Lease Finance Corporation had agreed to order ten, seven, and five jets, 3 respectively, and that there were another 30 orders lined up. The initial orders were a positive, though not unexpected, sign. The real question, however...

We expect 2014 contracted sales growth to be flat while policy risk is on the rise given the strong ASPs. We downgrade our industry view to In-Line. We favor stocks with greater exposure to the mass market segment of non-top-tier cities; Vanke, CG and Shimao are our top picks. Industry view downgraded to In-Line: We are less optimistic than consensus about the contracted sales and ASP outlook in 2014; we expect flat growth amid the increased policy risk and steady demand. MSCI China Real Estate index has outperformed MSCI China by 15% in the last 12 months. The average share price upside of our coverage universe has narrowed to 11%. Favor non-HPR/mass-market: We are more skeptical about tier-one cities given the 56% jump in land sales volume YTD and heightened policy risk amid the surge in ASPs. Demand-supply in lower-tier cities should continue to improve; we think there could be a third consecutive year of zero growth/decline in land sales in 2013, bringing down inventory-turnover. 17% contracted sales growth in 2014: We expect our coverage universe to continue to gain market share but they may only achieve half...
