Alliance Case Study Final
Alliance Case

Executive Summary:
In 2006, National Industrial Supplies purchased Alliance Concrete. Alliance Concrete encounters financial projection issues and CFO Martin Harris must make an executive decision whether to making a principal repayment to the bank, making capital investments, or making the dividend payment to the Capital. If Alliance does decide to refrain from making principal payments or paying dividends to National puts the company in risk of not being able to grow. We recommend that Alliance should make capital investments in order to avoid refute the risk. Deep analysis of the company’s financial data and financial ratios will be used in order to persuade senior management that capital investment would be the best choice for the company to make at this point.
Analysis:
No.2. I would recommend Alliance Concrete to make an appropriate repayment to the bank. First of all, maintaining a good relationship with banks, especially when the market of real estate is in bad times. So getting the trust from banks is a good option for long run. On the other hand, some stakeholders are more concerned about their dividends like National, but not the development. It’s important for managers to see the larger picture. Even though we get the fondness from National now, we would collect the fund from bank hardly; and National would give up Alliance Concrete in the end. Most importantly, the accruing interest will become a huge burden for Alliance Concrete. It would be very hard to pay back the principal at that time because Alliance Concrete have a huge amount of interest to pay. And the stable company like Alliance Concrete would drive into bad circle.
I also don’t think Alliance Concrete need make capital investments because it has already spent a capital expenditure of 16 million dollars for the accident of collapse of mixing drum, which influence Alliance Concrete’ normal processing and make it lose lots of money. Although big money was

    Top management at Nucor Corporation has determined its own internal investment criterion in determining whether to accept or reject a new investment project. Currently, the company judges the potential success of a project by its ability to achieve a 25 percent return on assets after 5 years. This ratio measures how efficiently Nucor’s assets are able to generate revenue. Based off current market growth rate predictions, an investment in the CSP process will result in a return on assets of 29.33 percent. (Exhibit 1) This number exceeds the initial investment qualification by a promising margin of about 4 percent. Therefore, based on the internal criterion, this CSP process is a relatively safe and profitable investment.…

    In the case of Honig v. Doe, it was the first case to reach the Supreme Court dealing with discipline of special education students. This case took place in 1988 after two students from the San Francisco School District with emotional disabilities and aggressive tendencies were threatened with expulsion. John Doe (a pseudonym) was a socially and physically awkward 17 year-old who had difficulty controlling his impulses and anger. From early on in school, physical abnormalities, speech difficulties, and poor grooming habits resulted in his being the target of classmates teasing and ridiculing him. One day, in response to taunts from a fellow student at a developmental center for disabled students, he reacted in an explosive manner anticipated by his individualized education (IEP). He choked a student with enough force to leave abrasions on the boy’s neck. Afterwards, while being taken to the principal’s office, John kicked out a window. John was suspended from school for 5 days. The principal recommended that he be expelled. A lawsuit was filed, and the federal district court issued a temporary order directing the school to return John to his then current educational placement.…

    Entering the fourth quarter of 2003 the market seems to show continued signs of improvement. The company has shown steady growth and revenues are forecasted to exceed 2002’s by 19%. The forecast shows net income coming in at $222.7m; a robust 12% increase over last year. Linear has however increased its cash holdings to be in excess of $1.5b through various management initiatives. However this $1.5b has only shown investors a 4.25% growth which translates to $0.10 earnings per share pre-tax. This is in line with the company’s history of conservatism. Looking ahead the company does seem to have requirements to build a new fabrication facility as their facility is aging and is nearing its effective use in its life cycle and will cost around $200m. Linear seems to have enough cash on hand to be able to invest their cash without leveraging the company too much in the future. They have also not spent much on capital expenditures as a percentage of sales (2.2% in FY2002) this last year and should look to increase that in the future.…
