Distributions to Shareholders and Capital Structure Decisions

  • Contrast the differences between a stock dividend and a stock split. Imagine that you are a stockholder in a company. Determine whether you would prefer to see the company that you researched declare a 100% stock dividend or declare a two-for-one split. Provide support for your answer with one real-world example of your preference.

REspond to student …Danielle Debardelaben

RE: Week 8 Discussion


A stock dividend is a payment to shareholders of additional shares of equity rather than cash amount, and the par value of a share will remain the same. Declaring a 100% stock dividend means one additional stock for every stock held.While in a stock split, the par value of a share will reduce. If a company declares a 2-for-1 split of stock of par value 10, then after the split, you will get two stocks of the par value of 5.I will prefer a 100% stock dividend over a 2-for-1 split because, in case of the stock dividend, the company pays from the profit of the company. There will be a transfer of funds from retained earnings account to common stock account and Paid-in capital in excess of par account, and retained earnings will decrease after the stock dividend.

Case and Discussion: Headache

A 35-year-old woman comes to your office to discuss her “bad headaches,” which started after having her first child 2 years ago. The headaches sometimes awaken her from sleep and at times can be disabling and occasionally require her to take Tylenol and rest in a dark room. Sometimes she vomits during an attack. Over the past 6 months, her headaches have become more severe and frequent, prompting her visit today.

  • What additional questions would you ask to learn more about her headaches?
  • How do you classify headaches?
  • How can you determine if this is an old headache or a new headache/s? Is this a chronic or episodic condition?
  • Can you make a definite diagnosis through an open-ended history followed by focused questions?
  • How can you use the patient history to distinguish between benign headaches and serious ones that require urgent attention?
  • What diagnostic tests do you want to include to help you with your diagnosis?
  • Create a differential diagnosis flow sheet for this patient for this patient and include the diagnostics related to the differentials.

common stock yield

Describe what a common stock yield is and why it is important for an investor. Describe and explain the importance of a bond yield also. How is a common stock investor and a bond investor different? What different expectations do they have? If a common dividend is not paid, what recourse do the stockholders have? What recourse do bond holders have available if bond interest payments are not made?

Discussing leadership within organizations, and those leaders that I worked with, and under as a subordinate, is a subject that has many experiences, both positive and negative that can be told. Suffice it to say that the negatives were learning challenges that taught what not to do, and the positive formed a leadership style that works for a human service organization.

It is true that service as a concept in a for-profit organization is important, but the major focus in on delivery of a product and making sure that the customer/consumer will return and provide positive feedback. A non-profit only has service to sell and their role has to be focused on providing needed services and their customer may be clients as individuals or communities as well as organizations. The missions of each type of organizations may also be quite different as making a profit is not the core value of a non-profit.

Having worked in a for-profit organization for over thirty years, I found that most of the leaders tended to be of the behavioral school. They were selected by known and displayed corporate leadership skills. They worked to get things done and their relationship with their subordinates was one of authority. There was no doubt as to who/whom was in charge. Many followed corporate policy to the letter and their focus was on getting ahead. Climbing the corporate ladder was their focus. During this time the company focus was on downsizing and perhaps it would have been difficult for a transformational leader to function. Becoming focused on staff that you may have to downsize would not have been comfortable.

Needless to say, over a five- year period many persons, some with over 30 years of service exited, not willingly as jobs went to India or were eliminated. Doing this to another person is not for the faint of heart no matter how much one believed in a company’s vision. Working within this environment did not serve one well and it was almost a blessing/relief to be given the door. Behavioral leaders, as existing within the workplace, did not appreciate someone who believed in the concept of transformational theories. It is my understanding that not much has changed since leaving, and many persons, who were not asked to leave, chose to seek employment elsewhere or retire willingly. While a stressful and negative environment, there was also a learning experience. What to do and how to treat others, the value of building professional relationships with staff was a lesson well learned and a respected one. The leadership style and values attributed to a human service leader are those that can provide positive results and staff success.

Synthesizing Course Materials

You are required to draw on one of the films Surviving Progress or The Corporation or the creative readings by EITHER Joseph Conrad OR Elmer Rice to illustrate your understanding of the key concepts raised in the text(s) you will be analyzing. The essay writing process involves several preliminary stages: formulating a working thesis; organizing your notes; and constructing an essay plan. Please review the guidelines and SPARK links from the first essay instructions.

Independent Research

You are writing a ‘persuasive essay’ which involves some research. In addition to the relevant course readings, you will need to find and use two secondary ACADEMIC sources for this essay (not Wikipedia, etc.). You MUST use proper referencing techniques and engage in textual analysis of these sources. Failure to properly document and acknowledge your sources constitutes PLAGARISM and makes you subject to academic sanction.

Instructions

Pick one of the essay topics below. DO NOT simply answer the questions in the order that they appear in the topic. The order of presentation is something you need to think deeply about: you need to plan out what you want to say and the order that it would be best to say it. You will be assessed based on how well you understand the concepts, issues and arguments raised in the course material. Return to your introduction after you have completed your draft to ensure that the order of presentation you outline here corresponds to the structure of your essay. Critically examine three of the progress traps discussed by Wright (hunting, farming and ‘civilization’). Drawing from at least two examples of civilizations that have collapsed, what are the lessons Wright seeks to draw for us? Using examples from the film, Surviving Progress, explain how the ideology of progress can obscure the fact that our civilization is in the middle of ‘the biggest progress trap in human history’?

  1. Is capitalism distinct from slavery, or dependent on it? Why does Williams think Smith’s argument is irrelevant to the New World context? How does this challenge dominant ideas with respect to progress? Compare and contrast Williams’ analysis of the economic realities of staple crop production in the New World with the colonial moral ideal of ‘bringing light (civilization) into darkness (savagery)’ in Conrad’s work.
  2. What is the difference between the ‘social division of labour’ and the ‘detail division of labour’, according to Braverman? How does the capitalist management of work (Babbage Principle, Taylorism) differ from pre-capitalist forms? What are the social consequences of the capitalist organization of production (consider Federici here, too)? How can we use Rice’s play to illustrate the effects Braverman describes?
  3. What definitions of the corporation are offered in the film The Corporation and which best captures what it is? What are some of its ‘personality traits’, according to the film? How did the corporation get so much power, according to Nace? What are the key differences between the classical and the modern corporation? Using examples from the film, explain how its legal form give it greater powers than human subjects.

Student paper down below:

Behavior theories appears to fit me the best from what I read in the literature. I am always excited to eager to learn from others regardless of their status. In knowing that one is capable of learning from anyone else, including their clients, a person will naturally grow as they continue to move through the process. It is stated that “Behavior theories opened doors to the idea that certain behaviors and skill leaders used can be identified, observed, and learned” (Harley-McClaskey, 2015). As it is always important to take the time to learn from others, it is also important to remember that others will be learning from you as well, with that being said, making sure one is patient with their followers who are also eager to learn as well. This is where I feel as if I identify from this literature. I have not had a lot of experience leading in the work place outside of client work, so I am not sure how it would actually be in a staffing situation. However, I am excited to get to this point and learn as I go. I do find myself taking the time to learn from my leaders, which I have found all of which have different strenghts to offer. This to me is where true learning occurs. I have found that I observe and take in information like a sponge on any therapeutic approach. This has allowed me to find myself being able to take different approaches with different clients as needed.

I really enjoyed reading your post. Like you, I agree that the ranking of these four principles would be dependent on the specific situation. Although in my post I ranked the principles in the order of autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice I do agree with the possibility that these principles may switch depending on the situation and even ones worldview. For example in the Christian faith, “The role of the nurse…grew out of a Christian understanding of the human person as created in the image of God and viewed the body as a living unity and the “temple of the Holy Spirit” (Shelly & Miller, 2006). This idea may affect how an individual of the Christian faith may rank the principles. Do you think that ones worldview is directly linked with how we rank the principles?
