Which of the following is not correct? Hedging makes sense for our company because it allows us to eliminate risks that we do not wish to be exposed to, such as currency risk. A CFO of a company that uses oil as an input believes that oil prices will decrease. It would be wrong for the CFO to try to profit from this expectation by shorting oil futures contracts. The benefit of hedging input price risks for a company should increase if the company is highly levered and close to financial distress. Our company chooses not to hedge foreign currency risk because we believe the dollar will appreciate and this appreciation will increase our profits.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Well-designed bond covenants are useful for reducing potential conflicts between stockholders and managers. b. Takeovers are most likely to be attempted if the target firm's stock price is above its intrinsic value. c. The bid price in a hostile takeover is generally above the price before the takeover attempt is announced, because otherwise there would be no incentive for the stockholders to sell to the hostile bidder and the takeover attempt would probably fail. d. Stockholders in general would be better off if managers never disclosed favorable events and therefore caused the price of the firm's stock to sell at a price below its intrinsic value. e. The efficiency of the U.S. economy would probably be increased if hostile takeovers were absolutely forbidden.
