Evaluating an Ethical Dilemma

LO 10-1 Assume that you are a portfolio manager for a large insurance company. The majority of the money you manage is from retired school teachers who depend on the income you earn on their investments. You have invested a significant amount of money in the bonds of a large corporation and have just received a call from the company’s president explaining that it is unable to meet its current interest obligations because of deteriorating business operations related to increased international competition. The president has a recovery plan that will take at least two years. During that time, the company will not be able to pay interest on the bonds and, she admits, if the plan does not work, bondholders will probably lose more than half of their money. As a creditor, you can force the company into immediate bankruptcy and probably get back at least 90 percent of the bondholders’ money. You also know that your decision will cause at least 10,000 people to lose their jobs if the company ceases operations. Given only these two options, what should you do?

Case Study #2: Chapter 5 Business Analysis - Harry, a friend of yours, is taking a course in economics and has become confused by some of the terminologies because of the way people commonly use the same words.  The economics professor says investment occurs when companies buy equipment and build factories.  Yet Harry has always heard people talk about investing as a method of saving when they put money in the bank or purchase securities.  He's confused by these dissimilar uses of the word and has asked you to explain.  After asking for your help, Harry happily states that there's one thing he does understand perfectly about what the econ prof says, and that is "savings equals investment."  Since investing in stocks and bonds is also saving money, it's obvious that savings equal investment!  Write a brief explanation to help Harry out.
