1. Mrs. Mary Atkins, age 66, has been your firm’s client for five years, since the death of her husband, Dr. Charles Atkins. Dr. Atkins had built a successful newspaper business that he sold two years before his death to Merit Enterprises, a publishing and broadcasting conglomerate, in exchange for Merit common stock. The Atkinses have no children, and their wills provide that upon their deaths the remaining assets shall be used to create a fund for the benefit of Good Samaritan Hospital, to be called the Atkins Endowment Fund.
Good Samaritan is a 180-bed, not-for-profit hospital with an annual operating budget of $12.5 million. In the past, the hospital’s operating revenues have often been sufficient to meet operating expenses and occasionally even generate a small surplus. In recent years, however, rising costs and declining occupancy rates have caused Good Samaritan to run a deficit. The operating deficit has averaged $300,000 to $400,000 annually over the last several years. Existing endowment assets (that is, excluding the Atkins’s estate) of $7.5 million currently generate approximately $375,000 of annual income, up from less than $200,000 five years ago. This increased income has been the result of somewhat higher interest rates, as well as a shift in asset mix toward more bonds. To offset operating deficits, the Good Samaritan Board of Governors has determined that the endowment’s current income should be increased to approximately 6% of total assets (up from 5% currently). The hospital has not received any significant additions to its endowment assets in the past five years.
Identify and describe an appropriate set of investment objectives and constraints for the
Atkins Endowment Fund to be created after Mrs. Atkins’s death.
1) Mr Kristos Le Droit in one of his first actions as the newly elected treasurer of LOACH (a mid-sized Charity) has dismissed the incumbent (current) audit firm and called for tenders for a new audit firm. Several other members of the Charity’s Board are very upset and informed Mr Le Droit that the incumbent firm had been auditing them for 15 years, that everyone working at the Charity was very comfortable with that firm as the auditor, and that they were very worried about the mess that might be disclosed if a less friendly firm were appointed.
1) Mr. Wiseman has invested a sum of Rs. 2,00,000 in his own business which is a very profitable one. The annual profit earned from his business is Rs. 45000 which includes a sum of Rs 10,000 received as compensation of a part of his business premises. As an alternative to his engagement in his business, he could have invested the money in long term deposit with Bank earning a normal rate of interest of 10% and also could engage himself in employment thereby getting an annual salary of Rs 7200. Considering 2% as fair compensation for the risk involved in the business, calculate the value of goodwill of his business on capitalization of super profits at the normal rate of interest. Ignore taxation.
