    474 Report

    For years, tobacco industry had been embattled with health related lawsuits. Majority of these litigations were for cigarette companies in comparison to smokeless tobacco industry. Still, UST had seven pending health related lawsuits. UST has historically been one of the most profitable companies in corporate America. Even though S&P rated the debt of many tobacco companies as investment grade, its long term outlook of the tobacco industry was unclear given the rising restrictions on tobacco products and health awareness among consumers. Despite the questionable outlook of tobacco industry, in December 1998 UST’s board of directors decided for active capital…

    Case study: Debt Policy at UST Inc.

    Over the years, UST has been a dominant producer in the tobacco industry, specifically the moist tobacco industry. Even though the past strategy with UST has entailed raising the prices of its products on a regular basis, the company still shows signs of positive growth. Additionally, there have been recent issues with smokeless tobacco products, such as lawsuits. However, there remains a constant consumer demand for UST products. When evaluating the business risk of a company, one of the primary drivers of its business risk stems from the price elasticity of its products. Thus, these are a few reasons that illustrate that the smokeless tobacco industry (UST's most dominant EBIT contributor) has a relatively steep demand curve and should be considered as having an inelastic consumer demand. Also, it is important to note that UST has products outside of its core operations in the wine and premium cigar market. Also, UST has introduced products in the price value market as consumer demand has increased.…

    The Colosseum

    The Colosseum kept a very distinctive schedule of crucifixions, naval battles, and gladiatorial fights. Being captured slaves, these gladiators were forced to fight for their lives in an arena full of blood-thirsty witnesses. Despite their bestial fate, these slaves were actually regarded as celebrities by the Roman people. Desiring to protect their “investments”, the owners of these gladiators would provide first-class medical attention for their slaves. Notably, the Colosseum arena was built oval shaped exclusively for gladiatorial battles, because if a gladiator got corned combat would not last long. Another way the Colosseum entertained was through mock sea battles, they would fill the Colosseum by using 40 channels that carried water from…
