Case Length :    11 pages
Plagiarism : NO (100% Original work)
Description for case is given below :
This case asks students to prepare a report comparing the financial and operating performance of AT&T and Verizon. Taking the perspective of a communications industry analyst, they must also consider the differences between and implications of the companies’ business strategies and the differences between the technology and growth rates of the wireless and wireline business segments. As part of this exercise, students reorganize the balance sheets in terms of operating and financial components, calculate changes in working capital, derive un-levered free cash flow (FCF), and apply DuPont style ratios and margin analysis on a consolidated-as well as a segment-basis. Students must also consider the effects of actuarial gains and losses on operating results; and how analysts might adjust for those effects. The case was designed for first-year MBA students in financial statement analysis (FSA) and accounting classes, but it could also be used in other courses to prepare for discounted cash flow (DCF) exercises.

Description for case is given below :
In April 2016, a large U.S. proprietary trading group in New York, with a significant fixed-income portfolio, was debating what discount rate to use to value the group’s interest-rate swap portfolio. The counterparties to these swaps were major banks, and the deals were collateralized. Criticisms about the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark for valuing these swaps were circulating, and there were reports that LIBOR was being manipulated. There was talk about an alternative, nearly “risk-free” reference rate that could potentially be launched during 2016. Was it time for the trading group to substitute some of its maturing LIBOR-based interest-rate swaps with overnight index swaps.

In 2003, a financial planner in Calgary started working with the owner of Oilfield Welding Limited to provide employee benefits to the owner and his staff. Initially, the owner wanted to save for retirement by reinvesting all of his surplus earnings back into the business. However, he appreciated the potential creditor-proofing of life insurance and established a small retirement savings opportunity using life insurance. When Oilfield Welding Limited hired a new group administrator, the employee benefits program was put out to bid and the business was moved. Shortly thereafter, the financial planner was notified that the life insurance he had placed on the owner of Oilfield Welding Limited and his wife would be replaced by two new policies as recommended by another advisor. Would it be beneficial for the clients to replace their existing insurance? How should the financial planner proceed?

Description for case is given below :
A Singapore-based financial services company, the second largest lender in Southeast Asia, offered to acquire a Hong Kong bank, the eighth largest lender in the country, for a premium price per share. Three months later, a multi-billion hedge fund firm based in the United States had accumulated close to 8 per cent of the Hong Kong bank’s shares. According to Hong Kong’s securities law, the Singapore-based financial institution would have to acquire 90 per cent of the Hong Kong bank’s shares to successfully take the bank private, and there were only 25 days left for the company to meet this requirement. The hedge fund firm’s unspoken message was clear: raise your bid price to buy our shares or we will keep the company public at your expense.
