STOCK OPTION PAPER Tina Kelly ACC 201 Principles of Financial Accounting Instructor: Susanne Elliot October 15, 2012 In recent months there have been many news stories in the press about executive compensation with stock options. This type of compensation occurs when an executive is granted the “option” to purchase the company’s stock at a certain price sometime in the future. Corporations allow for their CEO’s to purchase options in stocks as an incentive of pay. This allows for them to pay CEO’s a salary of $200,000 annually, however give their CEO’s an opportunity to annually earn tens of millions of dollars. Unfortunately as we have experienced in live situations not all CEO’s follow their ethical responsibility to their organization and society.
A lobbyist is a person who tries to influence legislation on behalf of a special interest group, such as powerful corporations like McDonald’s. The bigger companies hire more lobbyists to increase their influence on public servants to insure their interests at the state, and specially the federal level. In a dispute between two giant meatpacking firms, “President Reagan’s Justice Department submitted a brief” and “argued on behalf of Excel, claiming it had every right to buy a rival company” while accepting the “disappearance of hundreds of small meatpacking firms” and opposing the use of “antitrust laws to stop giant packers” (Schlosser, 156). In the statement, Schlosser shows how big corporations can influence elected officials to disregard smaller businesses and the public’s interest. If the officials who are to keep the corporations in check are run by the giant companies themselves, the concept of checks and balances can almost be discarded.
Nixon then devalued the American dollar; he did this by severing its ties to gold. This was initially a gold standard but Nixon felt that gold was holding back the value of a dollar and thus weakening the American Economy (Goldfield). Nixon did many great things in the white house during his terms, but you ask someone about President Nixon and they can usually only say one or two things. That is “Watergate (Nixon)” and or impeachment. Both of these issues took a major blow to Nixon’s life.
What are the gains and risks involved in the entire transaction and how are mergers different from acquisitions? A Merger, as the name suggests occurs when two companies go ahead and merge into a bigger company, mostly under a different name. This is often a result of stock swap, which takes place when two companies agree to share the risks involved in the deal. A merger might resemble an acquisition, it is indeed quite similar, but it is named so in most cases due to political and marketing reasons to avoid media frenzy. Well, obviously a company acquires the other or two companies merge together to accelerate their growth without having to create a separate business entity.
