Suppose the CEO of a $750 million all-equity
firm personally owns $15 million in company
stock. Assume that the risk-neutral CEO
makes investment decisions based strictly on
the change in value (or expected change in
value for risky investments) of her personal
holdings, plus private benefits (if any) she gets
from the investment.
a) Suppose the CEO is considering a risky
investment that will generate a gain with a
present value of $100 million with 50%
probability, but a loss of $150 million (present
value) with 50% probability. Will she invest in
the risky project?
b) Now, suppose that the firm recapitalizes by
borrowing $700 million and pays a special
dividend of $700 million, and suppose that
the CEO reinvests her $14 million dividend
back into the recapitalized firm. (In answering
this question, ignore any change in the overall
value of the firm resulting from the
recapitalization.) Given the same assumptions
as in (i) above, will she invest in the risky
project?

- 2. After building a profitable construction company together over several decades, Larry Stevenson and Jim Shapiro recognized that their differences had become irreconcilable. Stevenson wanted to buy out Shapiro, who was willing to sell for the right price. After months of haggling and legal maneuvering, Stevenson made his final offer: $8.5 million for Shapiro’s shares in the company. The company is worth about $20 million, Shapiro thought to himself. I own 49% of the shares. Heck, I helped build this company. I’m not going to accept anything less than my fair share—$10 million. I’d rather fight in court than accept $8.5 million. Shapiro rejected the offer, and each party prepared for a trial. Shapiro’s rationale for rejecting Stevenson’s offer seemed reasonable enough. Furthermore, Shapiro’s lawyers assured him, a court ruling very likely would be in his favor. What do you think about Shapiro’s decision? Is it right or wrong? Why?

No, Brooke will not receive a bonus since bonuses are only paid out when operational profits grow by 10%, but this is a capital gain on the sale of an investment or shares, thus it is not a component of operating earnings. She will receive a bonus only if operational profits grow by 10%. Specify the options: Instead of reporting the gain as part of pretax income, how else might Brooke report the gain on the sale? Brooke Report this profit as a capital gain or profit on the sale of an investment; it is not included in revenue or operational profits.
