Read the Chapter 7 Mini Case on pages 339-341 in Financial Management: Theory and Practice. Using complete sentences and academic vocabulary, please answer questions a through d.

Using the mini case information, write a 250-500 word report presenting potential ethical issues that may arise from expanding into other related fields.

In your discussion, proactively strategize about possible expansion by explaining opportunities to promote ethical standards within your organization.

Your employer, a mid-sized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporary heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of Biggerstaff & McDonald (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&Ms financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&Ms weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%. Answer the following questions:

a. Describe briefly the legal rights and privileges of common stockholders.

b. What is free cash flow (FCF)? What is the weighted average cost of capital? What is the free cash flow valuation model?

c. Use a pie chart to illustrate the sources that comprise a hypothetical companys total value. Using another pie chart, show the claims on a companys value. How is equity a residual claim?

d. Suppose the free cash flow at Time 1 is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever. If gL WACC, what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC? If the most recent free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever (and gL WACC), what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC?
