Bank of America agreed to pay $2.43 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit with investors who owned or bought its shares when the bank purchased Merrill Lynch (Countrywide Financials, which was America’s largest mortgage lender) in 2008. Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch in late 2008 during the financial crisis. The $50 billion deal came as Merrill Lynch was within days of collapse, effectively rescuing it from bankruptcy. This settlement ended a three-year fight with a group of five plaintiffs, including the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio and the Teacher Retirement System of Texas. They accused the bank and its officers of making false or misleading statements about the health of Bank of America and Merrill Lynch and were planning to seek $20 billion if the case went to trial. Bank of America denied these allegations and agreed to pay the settlement as a way of eliminating extended litigation. After the acquisition was finalized, without a public announcement, Bank…

Suppose Warm Breeze, a cloud computing firm, is selling bonds to raise money for a new lab. This practice is called finance. Buying a bond issued by Warm Breeze would give Tyler the firm. In the event that Warm Breeze runs into financial difficulty, will be paid first. Suppose instead Tyler chooses to buy 250 shares of Warm Breeze stock. Which of the following statements are correct?

BK Books is an online book retailer that also has 10,000 “bricks and mortar”outlets worldwide. You are a risk-neutral manager within the CorporateFinance Division and are in dire need of a new financial analyst. You only interview students from the top MBA programs in your area. Thanks to your screening mechanisms and contacts, the students you interview ultimately differ only with respect to the wage that they are willing to accept.

In all, you spend six hours interviewing each candidate and value this time at $2,500. In addition, it costs a total of $8,000 in travel expenses to interview each…
