Judgment Case 16-10

The debt carries an obligation of payment to creditors while equity provides an opportunity for profits for shareholders. Therefore, all revenues from Target and Walmart operation must go to pay creditors first; shareholders retain whatever remains after accounting for all expenses, including the cost of operations, taxes, etc. Since shareholders face more risk than creditors, shareholders generally expect a return on their capital that is higher than the returns that creditors expect on their capital. However, Walmart and Target cost of capital is thus a mixture of returns to creditors and returns to equity provider (Trainer, 2017).

In the human services field it’s likely workers will have contact with the court and legal system. The differences in the human services profession and the legal systems can become challenging for workers. Such as dissimilarities in prerogatives and values, prove this challenge for human services workers (Kennedy, Richards, & Leiman, 2013). Human service work practice requires an understanding of social policy’s impact in specific areas. As practitioners grasping how theories concerning fundamental principals of social policy have implications for human services agencies and for the individuals who are the users of the services (Carson & Kerr, 2014). This paper will discuss a case observed at Beenleigh Magistrates Courthouse. It will also look at the multiple roles and responsibilities of Human Service professionals appearing in the legal system, as well as the importance of ethical writing and possible tensions between the legal system and human services profession.

Decide which witnesses could support the prosecution’s case and which witnesses would support the defense’s case. How does Search and Seizure relate to the B.I.G. case?

Did the trial court err when it did not deem as admitted facts the allegations made by the Defendant in his Seconded Amended Complaint in accordance with MD Rule 2-323(e), which caused a violation of the Defendant’s fourteenth amendment rights?

The appeal at bar challenges significant legal errors committed by the district court when it erroneously create a new category of law, and misinterpreted federal law to such an extent that it would impose significant burdens upon school districts nationwide if allowed to stand, and incorrectly applied statutory law resulting in an inaccurate finding that the Appellant did not comply with its obligations under the IDEA. The district court’s findings that K.W. is not a parentally-placed private school student and the district courts creation of a new category of private school placement for students with disabilities under the IDEA was inappropriate. In this case, Parent made clear that she did not intend to enroll K.W. in the public school system due to her preference that K.W. attend a private school. In reviewing the district court’s decision, the court erroneously determined that K.W. was not a parentally-placed private school student. This Court has been asked to establish that K.W. was a parentally-placed private school student as defined by 34 C.F.R. § 300.130.

Ms. Chaker to separately create duplicative sets of discovery to each of the Defendants is unnecessary here. Given their trustee-beneficiary relationship, defendants are of an aligned interest in this matter. Ms. Chaker seeks to assert her rights against both Ms. Lindstrom and Ms. Lindstrom-Blech under the same claims, and would provide identical discovery to each defendant even if they were served separately. Thus, even if Ms. Chaker separately served Defendants with discovery defining “you” and “your” for each individual, but otherwise identical, Defendants would provide the same responses as already furnished, and would most likely answer provide answers applicable to Defendants collectively.

11. Compute the total debt-to-equity ratio for 2012 using Nash-Finch's data as reported and your adjusted figures. Include the tax adjustment in your computations. Which ratio provides the best measure of solvency and why? (Formula: total current and long-term debt/total equity.)

Torres’ common-size financial statements also show the changing composition of Costco’s financing structure over time. The fact that interest expense consistently fell over the five year span from -0.35% of net sales in 1997 to -0.09% in 2001 demonstrates Costco’s ability to reduce its overall amount of debt during these years. Exhibit nine’s balance sheet portion supports this reduction, documenting an increase in total current liabilities from 35.86% of total assets in 1997 to 40.76% in 2001 and an increase in accounts payable from 25.46% of assets in 1997 to 27.03% in 2001. This signifies that the company’s debts or obligations due within one year increased, further corresponding with the fact that short-term borrowing increased from 0.46% of assets in 1997 to 1.93% in 2001. With an increase in short-term borrowing it is logical to expect to see a decrease in long-term borrowing. The income statement proves that this is indeed the case, documenting a decrease in long-term debt from 16.74% of sales in 1997 to 8.52% in 2001. This relates back to the decrease in Costco’s interest expense on the income statement, representing the company’s decision to switch to short-term and away from long-term methods. Furthermore, the decrease in long-term debt helped account for a decrease in total liabilities from

form 10-k 2017 debt to assets analysis is 0.65. Debt to assets “focuses on the company’s ability to survive over a long period and the ability to repay a debt at its maturity/prior to its due date” (Bethel, 2017). TJX Company Inc. total liabilities were $8,373,209 and their total assets were $12,883,808. According to the financial analysis TJX debts are stronger than their stockholder’s equity which could put the company at risk. “However, despite the risk related with their debt most companys attain huge amounts of resources from creditors because of the returns of financial pulls” (Bethel, 2017). The company total liabilities are very high which could put the company at

According to the Equilibrium Theory, at the optimal leverage point the PV of tax expense should be equal to the financial distress costs. Simpson and Williams’ simulation model helped us to find the point, at which point the EBIT/Interest was equal to 2.8. However, financial model does not stand for the real world. The interest coverage of 2.8 is not suitable for Diageo, because there are many defects in the simulation model.

Already in 1958, Modigliani and Miller have pointed the discussion of capital structure towards the cost of debt and equity. According to their first proposition, in a world of no corporate taxes and with perfect markets, financial leverage has no effect on a firm’s value. In their second proposition, they state that the cost of equity equals a linear function defined by the required return on assets and the cost of debt (Modigliani and Miller, 1958).
