Case Facts: Steven Light bought a $55,050 wedding ring for his wife, Sherri Light, on credit from Royal Jewelers, Inc., a store in Fargo, North Dakota. The receipt granted Royal a security interest in the ring. Later, Royal assigned its interest to GRB Financial Corp. Steven and GRB signed a modification agreement changing the repayment terms. An attached exhibit listed the items pledged as security for the modification including the ring. Steven did not separately sign the exhibit. A year later, Steven died. Royal and GRB filed a suit in North Dakota state court against Sherri, alleging that GRB had a valid security interest in the ring. Sherri cited UCC 9-203, under which there is an enforceable interest only if "the debtor has authenticated a security agreement that provides a description of the collateral." Sherri argued that the modification agreement did not "properly authenticate" the description of the collateral, including the ring, because Steven had not signed the attached exhibit. The court issued a judgment in GRB's favor. Sherri appealed. Issue: Was GRB's security interest in the ring valid and enforceable?Decision: Yes. The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's judgment. Questions to Do you agree or disagree with the decision that was made by the courts? Why or why not?Why do you think Sherri felt that she was able to appeal? Was her decision impractical? Why?What implications do you think his death should have since he gave Sherri the ring as a gift?Should she still be responsible to pay the remaining balance? Discuss the ethical implications that you believe are at play with this case.

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
