- Gadget King Corporation manufactures personal computers, tablets and mobile phones. The company began operations in 2015 and reported profits for the years 2015 through 2018. Due primarily to increased competition and price slashing in the industry, 2019’s income statement reported a loss of P15,000,000. Just before the end of the 2020 financial year, a memo from the company’s chief financial officer to Hendrick Cruz, the company controller and Nathan Santos, the company director for finance, included the following comments: If we don’t do something about the large number of unsold computers, tablets and mobile phones already manufactured, our auditors will require us to write them off. The resulting loss for2020 will cause a violation of our debt covenants and force the company into bankruptcy. I suggest that you ship half of our inventory to Bilis Benta, Inc., in Quezon City. I know the company’s president and he will accept the merchandise and acknowledge the shipment as purchase.…The Gray Ferrari I t all got started when Robert L. Johnson had dinner at Mr. K’s Chinese restaurant with Michael Jordan of the Washington Wizards and David Falk, the leading sports agent. When the discussion turned to cars, Johnson mentioned his interest in getting a Ferrari. Both Falk and Jordan recommended their respective dealers but Johnson found the going tough. Only a select number of Ferraris are made annually, and the automaker limits how many are sold through U.S. dealers to about 1,000 units. In practice, anyone placing an order would have to wait over two years for delivery for a car that would cost $200,000 to $300,000 depending on the model. A New Jersey dealer had a Ferrari available, but, at $300,000, Johnson felt the price was too high. Michael Jordan’s dealer had a 360 Modena available for $160,000. Although he bought it, it was not exactly what he had wanted because the Modena is not a convertible. Franco Nuschese, the owner of Georgetown’s…Read the Wall Street Journal article, "Boeing Board Accused in Lawsuit of Lax Oversight During 737 MAX Crisis." This lawsuit is a great example of "shareholder activism." Boeing's shareholders took action when they felt the management failed to maximize their long-term value, and the board of directors failed to fulfill its fiduciary obligation to protect the interests of the shareholders. Respond to the following questions based on theories and concepts in Chapter 9. Q3-1. What are the role and duties of the broad of directors in corporate governance? Assuming Boeing shareholders' complaints are true in this lawsuit, in what ways did Boeing's board fail to fulfill its fiduciary duties to the shareholders? Q3-2. Assuming the shareholders' complaints are true, what are some likely reasons that Boeing's board failed to effectively fulfill its duties? Q3-3. We learned in Chapter 9 the importance of making sure the management acts in the best interests of shareholders. After reading the…

I paid the consultant $75,000 to do the study. The fee was quite reasonable. The project involves construction of a building for which I would also need a properly located piece of land. I bought such a piece of land about 10 years ago for the unbelievably low price of 1 million. Lucky me! Based on what I describe above, I feel pretty good about the project being a success. True or False? and Why?On part D, the $600 was wrong. Is there another possible solution?
