...Titan Corporation of Canada (TCC) is based in Ontario. It has a callable outstanding bond issue, which was issued five years ago at a coupon rate of 6%, with a face value of $100 million, and with 20 years remaining to the maturity date. Interest rates at the time of the issue were considerably higher than they are now, and the company would now like to refinance the bonds. TCC’s investment banker assures the CFO that the bonds could now be issued for a 20-year maturity at a coupon rate of 4.5%. The following table shows the characteristics of the outstanding issue of bonds and the planned bond issue. Old bonds New bonds Face value $100,000,000 $100,000,000 Remaining maturity 20 years 20 years Overlap period 2 months 2 months Coupon rate 6% paid semi-annually 4.5% paid semi-annually Call premium/flotation costs 50% of coupon rate 2.5% of face value The new bonds would be issued two months before the old bonds could be called, at a call premium of 50% of the annual coupon rate.

...I Got….Myocardial Infarction 1. My initial response was to laugh because it is not a diagnosis that I thought I would ever hear. I am very slender and athletic and my cholesterol levels are all well under control. I do know that to get to the point of an MI, means that I more than likely have arteries full of plaque which ultimately leads to a sudden and extended obstruction of blood supple to myocardial tissue. My brain is already spinning in curiosity of the severity of ischemia in my left ventricle. What is even more scary to me, as a woman, is the higher risk of silent ischemia in women. Silent ischemia doesn’t produce any symptoms when the heart experiences ischemic events. So I guess after the shock wears off, that is when the “oh shit” moment is about to happen. 2. Myocardial Infarction(MI) is also known as a heart attack. MI results when the flow of oxygen rich blood to a myocardium suddenly becomes blocked. If blood flow is not restored quickly, this results in cellular death by necrosis or apoptosis. Acute MI is an important form of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). MI can occur at any age, but the risk of frequency raises with age progression. It is estimated that MI causes more than 150,000 deaths annually in the US. The American male has a greater than 1 in 5 chance of sustaining an MI or fatal ischemic event before the age of 65. Females that are younger than 45 have a 6 fold lesser risk of MI than men of the same age, however after menopause the rate becomes...

...individuals for failing to participate in this federal governmental socialized healthcare system but is also unconstitutional on a number of levels. The Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution was ratified in 1791 and states that “[t]he powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people” (TCC, n.d., p. 1). This concept was reiterated by James Madison who, in Federalist No. 45, wrote: The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State (TCC, n.d.). These passages affirm states’ rights to govern themselves in all matters which are not specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. However, since the...

...increased productivity. Reducing labor costs would require Henrichs to stop paying the overtime to the employees, a frequent scenario to which they had become accustomed. But in order to facilitate this change we would need to determine on how to keep his employees motivated to improve production processes while their rewards were decreasing. This could only be accomplished focusing the employees towards the bigger picture; which in this case was to keep the plant operational. The employees were aware that although the Fredericksburg plant was a key in the production of GM’s automatic transmission it was not considered irreplaceable. Other plants could take over the production of the TCC and eliminate the need for the Fredericksburg plant altogether. Additionally, GM could outsource the production of the TCC causing there to be no...

...they are aware of the quality of care being received by loved ones. This way, patients will feel comfortable knowing that their families have a part in the care they are receiving. 2. Care teams need to develop long-term relationships with HD patients in order to learn their preferences, triggers, and habits. By learning the patient, the care team can provide the best customized care to that patient. Facilities can maintain these relationships by reducing the turnover rates for employees. 3. Develop care plans that are flexible towards the progression of the disease. Not all HD patients can be treated in the same way. Treatment options need to change as the symptoms change. 4. Facilities need to promote staff education, for both new and old employees. New employees should be provided with guides and pamphlets about HD prior to the start of their employment. Long time employees should be provided with training courses, such as sensitivity training or even training to provided them with up to date knowledge of treating...

...beset by a variety of issues and resulted in an inability to manage to a budget, and that was problematic to management. Budgetary and ineffective or inefficient functions of the plant occurred due in part from numerous factors including continued use of old machinery, denominator management, i.e., management of human capital by attrition, inappropriate use of incentives, collective bargaining limitations, and a general lack of managerial creativity. These effects were felt throughout the GM organization during the ‘90’s , as a new chairman was installed in a “bloodless coup,” barely four years earlier, when in late October of 1992, John Smale, the chairman of the GM`s executive board, forced GM Chairman John Stempel to resign by issuing a statement that did not give chairman a vote of confidence.

...Executive Summary Introduction and Background States purpose and importance, clear and concise * Purpose - To provide R & S with a better comprehension of the eating habits and patterns of Singapore’s Generation Y- employing the use of Secondary Data and surveys. * Methods used to support & substantiate findings- E.g. Surveys * key issues that will be addressed are as follows ( From Assignment Handout) : What Gen-Y wants regarding the variety on the menu when eating out. 1. A recent study has found that those considered to be in Generation Y are concerned with health and wellness and like to eat in casual, communal spaces. These conclusions and others are discussed in a report from the Center for Culinary Development and Packaged Facts. Gen Y’s love hanging out at communal tables in bar lounges, college dining halls and other informal settings. Dining venues that offer a wide collection of foods, particularly with “far-flung global inspiration,” are favorites. When they eat alone, they often “scarf solo in the car or on the sofa,” adds CCD. They are also thrill-seekers who crave heightened eating experiences such as intense flavors and extreme textures. “The typical Gen Y eater swoons over unusual food forms, flavor profiles tweaked with unexpected or dramatic twists and of course, vivid global cuisines, especially when they blend fresh and spicy,” 2. Generally, the majority of seniors is on fixed incomes and may not be able to afford...

...remember, I have always wanted to become a nurse. When I think back I am not sure why. I do remembered my auntie always caring for elderly people and for children. She had brought two houses in Philadelphia that was located next to each other. The first house was where she and some of the children that she cared for had lived and the house next door was where the elderly people had lived. Every summer I would stay with my auntie and I remembered I was excited to help her feed and care for them. I can also remember always wanting to become a candy striper in the hospital in which I did and I also remembered enjoying the experience. When I graduated from high school in 1986 I was accepted to the nursing program at SUNY Morrisville College in New York. I felt so overwhelmed in the program because it seemed that everyone there except for me had some type of nursing experience. I was only 17 years old when I left for college and it was my first time away from home that I was not focused which caused me to have to drop the nursing program. I was so disappointed in myself. I had changed my major to Business Administration. After doing a year and half at the college I ran out of money to continue school so I left and I joined the Navy. My desire was to enter into a medical field but at the time it was not available so I became an Air Traffic Controller but my focus was only to stay four years to get the educational benefits and to reapply to nursing school. Due to life and the...

...The increasingly globalized economy has created boundless opportunities for firms to expand and concurrently forced them to improve their comparative advantage by integrating with each other. Today, cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have rapidly increased, reshaping corporate leadership and unlocking corporate value. The Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi’s takeover of Fraser and Neave (F&N), the largest region takeover, has illustrated the strategic corporate governance of both the acquirer and target firms, the reaction of their leaders and the evaluations of F&N’s worth. Furthermore, this transaction also had significant impacts on various key stakeholders – F&N’s Board of Directors, TCC Assets Ltd and Thai Beverage PCL, Overseas Union Enterprise (OUE), and other F&N’s shareholders such as Kirin Holdings Co. Nowadays, most corporate leadership consists of two main management bodies, which are the Board of Directors and the Board Executive Committee. In F&N, Board of Directors acts as a crucial internal governance to set strategic directions, to oversee management and most importantly, to protect the interests of its shareholders. During merger transactions, they are supposed to monitor the transactions so as to maximize its shareholders’ wealth. In October 2012, F&N directors rejected Mr Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi's takeover offer because the offer price of $8.88 per share (which valued F&N at S$7.2bn) is at the low end of the...
