Questions: Part A: Short answers (7 points each for Q1 to Q6) 1. Earnings management (emphasizing on net Income (earnings) rather than on the long-term aspects of the company, which is the value of the firm based on its fundamentals) is considered as a sub-optimal practice in the VBM principle. Provide a brief discussion why managers may be motivated to follow such practice anyway 2. All other things equal, the corporate announcement to buy back its own shares will generally share prices. Why is that ? What market friction(s) is(are) playing the roles here? 3. Based on the following article assigned for Module 2: "Capital Structure Instability" by Harry DeAngelo and Richard Roll (Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, 2016). Explain how the above authors proved the point that the dynamic of corporate capital structure observed in reality differs from what is predicted by the 'trade-off model' (traditionally covered in textbooks). Providing an example (case) from the article would be useful here. 4. Provide the economic rationale on proactive equity issuances discussed in one of the articles assigned in Module 2 to MANAGE RISK. Please do cite the article in your answer 5. According to Bhabra (2007), describe the general scenes on Corporate Governance aspects in New Zealand. What are the main findings of the article? 6.

The equation developed in class was: V = Eoc - Aln (+n) - ir - meni. Neglecting in, we can rewrite it as: Ve = Eoc + Alni - ir - meni. Combining the first two terms on the right as Eoc (if io is small, ln(io) is negative, so Eoc < E), we can write: Ve = Eoc - Alni - ir - meni. a. Use this expression and the data in the following table to plot (using a computer) two polarization curves, one for a low-temperature PEMFC operating at 70Â°C, and the other for a high-temperature SOFC. Use the range 1 < i < 1100 mA/cm for your plot. Plot both curves on the same graph to allow a direct comparison. b. Also on the same graph, plot the power curves for both fuel cells. If you express the power in W/cm^2, then all four curves will scale nicely on the same graph. c. Explain, using one or two sentences each, the relative values of each of the five constants for the two types of FCs. For example, explain why A is larger for PEMFCs compared to SOFCs and so on. Constant PEMFC at 70Â°C High-Temperature SOFC Eoc (V) 1.031 1.01 r (k cm^2) 2.45E-4 2.0E-4 A (V) 0.03 0.002 m (V) 2.11E-5 8E-3 n (cm^2 mA^-1) 1.0E-4 8E-3
