“I gotta question for ya. What does this city know about luxury, huh? What does a town that’s been to Hell and back know about the finer things in life?” The Comeback These are the questions asked of the viewer in the very beginning of the Super bowl commercial for the Chrysler 200. The advertisement is not only trying to sell a new model, but also bringing back Chrysler as a popular luxury car brand. Through images, the narrative, and music, a very masculine and dark tone is conveyed to younger male viewers in order to re-establish Chrysler as a top luxury car brand with as rich a history as the city of Detroit and built by the same kind of hardworking men who are now revitalizing Detroit.
Case #25 Gainesboro Machine Tools Corporation Objectives In September 2005, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Ashley Swenson, of a computer –aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) equipment manufacturing company had to make the decision of paying out dividends to shareholders, or to repurchase stock. If Swenson went with the option of the payout she would need to decide on how large the payout would be. Another issue Swenson had to face was to decide rather the company should take on the campaign of corporate-image advertising, and convert its corporate name to mirror its new outlook. The case serves as a review of the many practical aspects of the dividend and share buyback decisions, to include signaling effects, clientele effects and the finance and investment implications of increasing dividend payouts and share repurchase decisions. This case can follow a treatment of the Miller-Modigliani dividend-irrelevance theorem and serves to highlight practical considerations to consider when setting a firm’s dividend policy.
