Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

II. Stock Valuation

A. Based on the figures provided, calculate each of the following:

1. The new dividend yield if the company increased its dividend per share by 1.75

2. The dividend yield if the firm doubled its outstanding shares

3. The rate of return on equity (i.e., the cost of stock) based on the new dividend yield you calculated above

B. What effect would you expect each of the calculations you performed to have in terms of shareholder value? In other words, suppose the
company’s goal is to maximize shareholder value. How will each of the situations support or inhibit that goal? Be sure to justify your reasoning.

C. To what extent do you feel the company’s dividend policies support or hinder their strategies? For example, if the company is attempting to
grow, are they retaining and reinvesting their earnings rather than distributing them to investors through dividends? Be sure to substantiate your
claims.

III. Bond Issuance

A. Assuming this company already has bonds outstanding, calculate the following:

1. The new value of the bond if overall rates in the market increased by 5%

2. The new value of the bond if overall rates in the market decreased by 5%

3. The value of the bond if overall rates in the market stayed exactly the same

B. What effect would you expect each of the calculations you performed to have in terms of the company’s decision to raise capital in this manner?
In other words, for each situation, would you consider bond valuation to be a viable option for increasing capital? Be sure to justify your
reasoning.

C. To what extent do you feel the company’s bond issuance policies support or hinder their strategies? For example, if the company is attempting to
fund operating expenses, refinance old debt, or change its capital structure, are they issuing sufficient bonds to achieve these goals? Be sure to
substantiate your claims.

Realism to the Present.Edited by McMichael, et.al., 10th ed., Prentice Hall.

“The Wound Dresser” pages 136-137;

“Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” pages 123-128

1. In “Wild Nights,”( #249) to whom could the persona be speaking? Who is the “Thee”? Could there be multiple interpretations? How does this conflict with your idea of who Dickinson was?

2. In “The Brain is Wider than the Sky,” Dickinson seems to be making a statement about the power of the human mind. What message exactly is she conveying? Is it effective? Why?

3. What are some of the influences on her poetry and how are they evidenced? Where can you site these influences?

6. Personally, which selections of Dickinson’s resonate, if any, for you? Explain how the works affect or why the poems fail to reach or appeal to your sensibilities.

7. What sort of individual is the speaker of “Song of Myself”? Is there difficulty in identifying with the persona? Why or why not? Explore and explain.

8. Where do you see Whitman’s experience as a journalist emerge in his poetry? Cite an example by naming the title of the poem and quoting a line as a means of illustrative evidence. Explain the significance of this element in Whitman’s work.

10. Describe the speaker in “Wound Dresser”. To whom is he speaking? What could his message be? What are the speaker’s views on war? Cite a line from the poem to support your response.

11. What is the significance of grass in Whitman’s poetry? Note that the title of life’s work is Leaves of Grass and he references this phrase several times in his poems. It may be helpful to think of how he uses this as a metaphor.

13. Provide a personal comment on Whitman’s work. Why do you suppose he is considered such a major figure in and contributor to American Literature? How does his work manage to stand the test of time? Feel free to react personally to these questions.

14. What differences and similarities do you see in Whitman’s and Dickinson’s poetry?

You are a human resources director preparing your staff for a panel interview for a high-level health care executive position. A team of 5 individuals will comprise the interview panel, and you will be interviewing 5 people for the high-level health care administration position. All candidates will be asked the same 10 questions, and these questions must illicit all of the information that is needed to make the best selection for the candidate.
