a ceo decides to borrow $50,000 in new debt, and the share prices rise dramatically. he then decides to sell half of his own personal shares, and when this is reported in the wall street journal, the share prices drop dramatically in value.

the corporate tax rate rises from 35% to 45%, and the xyz corporation decides to issue more debt. a year later, bankruptcy laws are changed to become much stricter and costlier. xyz then decides to pay back half of its debt.

a ceo named joe bigwig is known for living large with very expensive cars and a huge mansion. joe is seeking a large loan from a bank to finance some new projects for his corporation. however, the bank becomes concerned when they find out that he recently used company funds to buy a brand-new company jet and also schedules numerous business trips to hawaii and stays in five-star hotels. the bank tells joe he will receive the loan only if he agrees to scale back on his personal expenses and not give himself or any other executives a raise until the loan is paid back.

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: you can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. if you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. if you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. 1) at an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 2) at an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 3) years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. by wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. she must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. what is the best advice to give your friend? a) the lump sum is always better. b) the payments over time are always better. c) it will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator. d) none of these answers is good advice.
