Following are the answers to the case:
1. If you were Mr. Cizik of Cooper Industries, would you try to gain control of Nicholson File
Company in May 1972?
Methodology
We have taken the flowing steps for this analysis: * Determine the value of the Nicholson File
Company as a whole. For this we have calculated the NPV. * Determined the value of Nicholson on
a synergy, assuming after it has been acquired by Coopers. * Determine the value of Cooper
Industries on after the synergy. We have calculated the new NPV for this ... Show more content on

What must Cooper offer each group in order to acquire its shares?
The main concerns of this case are the way the shareholder stock will be handle (valued) and what
the profitable advantages in acquiring Nicholson 's majority shares.
According to our calculations Cooper Copper has an optimum bargaining position because they can
offer up to $60.13 (at a 4% growth estimated rate) for it's the stock in order to acquire the majority
its shares. Porter 's offer of $42.00 per share failed to get the majority of shares need to acquire
control. VLN 's offered to honor the price of $53.10 for preferred shares. This is the share value that
speculators and stockholders would hope to obtain although the actual offer could end up to be
much less. According to our calculations and analysis the best possible offer Copper can offer up to

$60.13 (at a 4% growth estimated rate) per share for Nicholson stock.
4. On the assumption that the Cooper management wants to acquire at least 80% of the outstanding
Nicholson stock and to make the same offer to all stockholders, what offer must Cooper
management make – in terms of dollar value and the form of payment (cash, stock, debt)?
In order to acquire at least 80% of the outstanding Nicholson stock, Cooper will have to acquire all
other stocks including those owned by Porter Inc., except those belonging to the Nicholson family
and management, since we are supposing that Nicholson

Cooper Case
COOPER CASE STUDY SUMMARY
Nicholson
Early in 1972 Nicholson dad to fend off a take over attempt by H.K. Porter Company Inc., which
controlled 30.5% of the company 's stock. Porter made a cash tender offer to stockholders. However,
Porter did not get enough stock to take over Nicholson. In trying to fight the takeover Nicholson
made several merger overtures to other companies like VLN Corp. A few years back, it had rejected
an offer from Cooper Industries.
Cooper Industries & Nicholson
Cooper was interested in Nicholson because of its competitive strength in the hand tools industry.
Nicholson had a 50% share for files and wraps with a very strong brand name and high quality line.
It also had a 9% share of the 200 million handsaws ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Cooper sees Nicholson as a good fit to its product line offerings and believes that it can leverage the
international distribution of Nicholson to cross–sell the combined product offerings. Its previous
mergers in the last three years have been successful and it has been able to keep the management of
the merged entities on–board. Cooper believes it will be able to bring operating efficiencies to
Nicholson and grow its sales by 6% from the current 2%.
Per exhibit 5, Valuation of Cooper after merger shows that the EPS will rise from $2.61 in 1972 to
$3.52 in 1976. The PE will stabilize in the range of $14 to $17 from current $9 to $18. The share
price in 1972 will be in the range of $37 to $44 and in 1976 from $59 to $60. Its book value in 1972
will rise to $108.1 million. Its Net Income will rise to $14.1 million in 1972 after merger, in
comparison to $11 million without merger.
Competing offers for Nicholson File
Nicholson had received competing offer from VLN and the Nicholson management supported the
VLN offer as it promised continued operating independence. VLN offered one VLN preferred stock
for one Nicholson share with an annual dividend of $1.60. But H.K. Porter Company with about
30% Nicholson

Cooper Industries Case
Managerial Policy | Cooper Industries Case | By: Aena Rizvi, Anum Rinch & Rafia Farooqui |

Introduction:
In 1833, an iron foundry was founded by Charles and Elias Cooper in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
Overtime, Cooper became the market leader in pipeline compression equipment. Cooper Industries
was around 150 years old and was mostly involved in the manufacturing of engines and
compressors to facilitate the flow of natural gas through pipelines. They began expanding it around
1960s and for that, more than 60 manufacturing companies were acquired in the following 30 years.
This came to be known as the process of Cooperization and some re–known companies became a
part of the Cooper banner to form a highly successful and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
They even made sure that they were deeply involved in all the acquisitions they made so that they
do not end up making mistakes by acquiring a wrong company.
Cooper's President, Gene Miller's ideology was to not restrict operations to the production of
engines only. This was reflected in the business decisions when Cooper began to diversify and
widen its product ranges. Cooper's acquisition strategies were well planned and they were not left to
the professional managers on the grounds that they could do justice to any product categories or
manufacturing processes. Great importance was given on understanding the culture and customs of
the areas in which Cooper operated and diversification only took place when the prospects looked
profitable. There was a limit to diversification and special attention was paid to the timing of
acquisitions. Most of the companies that Cooper aimed at acquiring were market leaders who
maintained records of high quality manufacturing. Cooper's journey was not about acquisitions and
additions only. After a business had served its useful purpose, it was divested because clinging to the
past would only reduce chances of future success. Between 1970 and 1988, Cooper divested 33
businesses.
Cooper also ventured into the aircraft service business by purchasing Dallas Airmotive which was
mainly involved in the repair and lease of jet engines as well as the distribution of aircraft parts and
supplies. After this, Cooper

Melania Trump Case Study
During the one on one interview of Melania Trump that was hosted by Anderson Cooper; which
aired on CNN "Anderson Cooper 360" October 17, 2016, was thought–provoking. One reason being
her husband, Donald Trump has been openly critical of CNN's coverage, referring to it as "Clinton
News Network". Many viewers were surprised that Melania decided to give CNN this interview so
quickly after her husband recorded tapes of him sexualizing women were leaked. The host and
interviewer Anderson Cooper is a television host, author and journalist. He is best known for being
the primary anchor of the CNN news show Anderson Cooper 360°. Melania Trump is a Slovene
American former model, and wife of Donald Trump.
The interview itself came off as somewhat uncomfortable and slightly hard to understand Melania at
times. What I initially noticed was that they were both sitting a good length away from each other.
Each of them sitting with shoulders pushed back and sitting straight while giving one another direct
eye contact. Melania has a thick accent, which can sometimes cause miscommunication with the ...

She continuously blamed the media for trying to portray her husband as something he wasn't. She
finally admits what her husband says on tape is inappropriate and wasn't acceptable. During this
portion of the interview both are still in a professional manner, but I did notice how Cooper would
occasionally unfold his legs and use his hands when he started to ask another question. He did,
however, keep them above his knee, but below his collarbone, any higher he may have
unintentionally come off as agitated. This type of body language let me know he was either trying to
get more comfortable or he was adjusting himself into a different position because he was about to

Even to this day, the D.B cooper case remains the only unsolved skyjacking in the United States.
The Theory that D.B Cooper Died Before people can start developing different theories about D.B
Cooper, we first have to ask ourselves whether he survive the jump. As the FBI investigates this
possibility, they discover more and more about the mysterious D.B Cooper. "We originally thought
Cooper was an experienced jumper, perhaps even a paratrooper," says Special Agent Carr. However,
after a few years of research and investigation, the FBI soon discovers that this could not true.
According to the FBI, there was no trained paratrooper who could have jumped in the rain, in
complete darkness, with a 200 mph wind, and survive. Even if D.B Cooper somehow managed to
survived the jump, there was no way he could have survived in the middle of the forest without any
supplies during the winter time. The FBI is almost positive that he had no one waiting for him after
the jump. One reason why they believe this is that there would have been no way for anyone to track
his location because no one could have known exactly where he landed. According to Agent Carr, he
jumped at a random location with no ground visibility. Finally after many years of investigation,
Special Agent Carr came to the conclusion that D.B Cooper did not survive the

By pricing their cars in the MSRP range of $19,500 to $35,000, they use the classical models of
price discrimination to maximise profitability. With no "master" method of segmentation, ensuring
the target is profitable enough requires experimenting with differing pricing options, further
segmenting the market to find the "sweet spot" pricing approaches that increase sales without
reducing profitability. MINI, with a 360 degree marketing approach, uses a full arsenal of tools in
segmenting consumer markets along geographic, demographic, psychographic and behavioral lines
(Jobber, 2007). Segmentation by geography. By breaking down markets into geographical units:
state, regions, counties, cities, even neighborhoods, MINI has the option to act locally, across a
region, or even globally, tailoring their branding message to meet the differences in needs and
preferences as defined by geography. Segmentation by demographic lines. Using digital and direct
mail to collect data on those most likely to buy, MINI has been very effective in breaking down
target markets into groupings based on statistical variables such as gender, age, family size, family
life–cycle stage, income levels, occupation, education, religion, race, and nationality. This method is
most popular in defining consumers because determining needs

Economic Data
In the 1970's, Sears was a major economic player in the tool industry. They were originally called
Sears and Roebuck until the early 1970's, but since then the Roebuck part of their name has been
dropped. During the early 1970's was when Sears began to develop more business in a retail setting,
as they began expanding heavily into suburban shopping malls and doing less business through their
mail–order catalog, which, historically, was what had made them a well known company. The major
brand that Sears holds that could have competed with Cooper/Nicholson is the Craftsman brand,
which was registered by Sears in 1927 and was recently names one of America's most trusted
brands.

In addition, the company's stock price was also suppressed as the cyclicality of the market and sales
defrayed interest in their stock. If Cooper decided not consider the acquisition, the company's future
profits could be in jeopardy as increasing gas prices and economic stress could potentially threaten
their sales in the current market.
Taking into consideration the company's requirements for acquisitions, Nicholson would most
definitely add synergy as it met all of the requirements stated by management as well as possessed
some additional strength that would add value to the company. As one of the largest domestic
manufactures of hand tools and leader in its two main product areas, Nicholson would provide a
wider range to Cooper's current hand tools line. Cooper, currently a leader in heavy machinery
would be able to add some stability and balance to the company by focusing more heavily on
establishing a market presence and aggressively entering the small tool segment of the market, of
which Nicholson is currently a leader. The acquisition of Nicholson would further highlight the
intent of Cooper to aggressively market the smaller product industry as the previous acquisitions of
other companies also focused on smaller product lines. In absence of the acquisition, Cooper may
not be able to build a quality brand name in the small tool market. Further, the company's intent to
move into the small tool market may not be taken seriously by the investors

managed by Nicholson family. Chairman of the board, Paul Nicholson put heavy emphasis on
managerial and operational independence. This was the reason of earlier re–buff of Cooper's
approach for Nicholson's acquisition. Nicholson is an attractive takeover target due to tremendous
potential for improvement despite poor sales and profit performance and low profit margins
resulting from conservative financial policies. Company's annual sales growth was only 2%
compared to 6% growth rate of the industry. Nicholson's shares were trading at historic lows and
below book value of $51.25. Twenty percent of shares were held by management and Nicholson
family. CONTROL OF NICHOLSON FILE COMPANY An important question is whether or not
Nicholson meets acquisition criteria of Cooper? This criteria was based on three variables: 1.
Acquisition should result in leadership in the market segment of Target Company. 2. Stable and
broad market for products with product–line of small items, eliminating companies with dependence
on few customers. 3. Acquisition of leading companies only. Cooper established a product policy of
building full product–line of hand tools and its acquisitions were driven by this strategy along with
the acquisition policy. Since 1967 Cooper had acquired three companies starting with the acquisition
of Lufkin Rule Company that was world's largest manufacturer of measuring

D. B. Cooper: The 40-Year Mystery
On November 24, 1971, a man later to be known as the infamous D.B. Cooper, successfully
hijacked an American plane ("D. B. Cooper." Outlaws). To this day, he is the only hijacker of an
American airplane to never be caught according to Jonsson. Over 17 books and even one movie has
been written about D.B. Cooper (The 40–Year Mystery). There have even been over 1000 suspects
who have fit the profile of D.B. Cooper (The 40–Year Mystery). One writer summed it up best,
saying "As one person told me, Cooper is the Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest" (The 40–Year
Mystery). D.B. Cooper is the one and only man to apparently successfully hijack an American
airplane. Throughout this paper, it will be shown exactly what happened on the fateful day of
Novermber 24, 1971, including why Mr. Cooper was successful. D.B. Cooper's crime is still
unsolved because of three major factors: his detailed planning of the day in question, the execution
of his plan, and the absurd number of people confessing to be the real D.B. Cooper. D.B. Cooper's in
depth planning of his elusive feat was a crucial factor to his success on that fatheful day. Every
move he made was calculated. Every decision he made had a purpose. This all started from the
moment he bought his plane ticket. On November 24, 1971, a man identified himself as D.B.

Cooper will for now and forever remain a mystery. Throughout the beginning of the flight, D.B.
Cooper showed in many different areas how his brilliant planning would pay off. During the end of

over, the overwhelming amount of people claiming to be the real D.B. Cooper has kept his true
identity a secret. We will probably never find any more evidence of who D.B. Cooper really is, truly

Cooper Case
Executive Summary
In the Case study, Cooper Industries is trying to acquire Nicholson File Company. However, there
are two other companies that are interested in Nicholson as well: VLN Corporation and H.K. Porter
Company. In 1971, VLN together with Nicholson management constructed a deal that, however,
didn't get the support from the majority of common stockholders.
After having done a discounted cash flow analysis, I determined that Nicholson stock is
undervalued. Also, Nicholson seems to be a good strategic fit for Cooper. Therefore, Cooper could
acquire Nicholson on friendly terms with a relatively large premium to attract the majority of the
shares needed. The problem for Cooper is to determine how best to acquire Nicholson and ... Show

In general, it is crucial to consider the effect of acquisitions on EPS as a significant, or enduring
dilution of EPS will harm the corporation's performance significantly.
6.
I do recommend a loan as capital preferred financing structure. This use of debt rather than equity
financing for the acquisition of Nicholson causes a higher return on equity, as well as an increase in
the efficiency of existing capital structure. Also, there are tax advantages to be realized through debt
financing (tax shield). The ultimate goal would be to maximize shareholder value and this can be
supported through a lower WACC resulting from a higher leverage (as effect outweighs increase of
risk). The interest on debt is tax deductible resulting in a higher Net Income and, thus, EPS.
Nicholson management had accepted an offer from VLN Corporation using convertible stock but
rejected a cash offer from H.K Porter. Nicholson may not want cash for their company. If that was
the case, Cooper would need to offer cumulative convertible stock.
7.
With an exchange ratio of 2, about 78% of the new firm would be owned by Cooper. The relatively
high exchange ratio would result in a severe reduction of control to Nicholson's shareholder (22%).
Under the given circumstances with an exchange ratio of 2, the acquisition premium for paid would
be $ 14 per share. The minimum synergies required that this offer makes sense would be $ 8.18 Mio.

2.1.2. Levels of awareness, perception and attitudes towards MINI
As Keller (1993, p. 3) argues, "[...] perceptions about a brand as reflected by the brand associations
held in consumer memory". Keller (1998) also suggests that there are three categories that constitute
the overall brand perception: attributes; benefits and attitudes. A study conducted by Simms and
Trott (2006) explores the brand perception of the MINI stakeholders. Based on their findings
researchers established a model that gives a "perspective on a product brand by linking specific
brand associations to the image that is developed in the mind of the consumer or stakeholder, and
finally linking this to how the image appeals to key stakeholders" (Simms and Trott, 2006) . The
application of their model to the MINI brand is presented in Appendix 2. .
2.1.3 Involvement
The types of involvement that can be identified in MINI's customers are related to the so–called
product and ego involvement as the interest is mainly in the MINI itself, but also relates to the
customers' self concept (Solomon et al, 2006). What is more, MINI has become an icon and the
level of involvement can be associated with cult products (Solomon et al, 2006).

Bernard Cooper
This short story was based on a young, Bernard Cooper, he was in his high school Algebra class
when a girl named Theresa decided to ask him if he was a "fag". Bernard had no clue of what a
"fag" was until he found the definition. When he was invited to his first kissing party he started to
realize that he wasn't into girls. Bernard was told by Grady that if a boy is asked to look at his hands
and he looks at them "manly" he wasn't a Homosexual, which was obviously not a true statement. I
believe Theresa was an important character because she was the first person to utter that Bernard
was attracted to men, she was a ninth–grade girl who knew about things she shouldn't have and
repeated them to other kids, such as Bernard. Another important character

frustrated with Sheldon at one point or another mainly down to his style of communication. Being
extremely gifted and unexposed to various groups of people, Sheldon's communication style has
been a difficult one for friends and strangers to get used to. Sheldon isn't rude or difficult to deal
with on purpose. It is due to his lack of experience with human interaction in different scenarios that

This shows that Sheldon is not constructing his dispositions on cold hard facts, but rather because he
feels superior through the groups he belongs to. On countless occasions Sheldon can be caught
making fun of his friend Howard who is an engineer from MIT, Penny who is a simple waitress at
the Cheesecake Factory and other colleagues from his workplace. However, upon meeting Amy,
Sheldon begins to transition from his predisposed mindset to a more accepting one. This can be
attributed to Sheldon altering his spiritual self and finally knocking down barriers that were due to
association by similarity (Adler, 6). At first, Sheldon only wanted to communicate with people like
himself because his attitudes reflected that anyone unlike him was unworthy. However, through
interacting with Amy, her influence of biology (which he previously determined as a worthless field)
accompanied by her choice of friends (Bernadette and Penny) creates a major impact on Sheldon.
He becomes able to speak with people unlike himself and portray respect for their field, even if deep
down he doesn't care. Being able to present a social self that displays respect even if your beliefs are
different shows that you are in control of your communication and dialogue. That may seem like
very little progress however,

Anderson Cooper is a well–known journalist. He is best known as an anchor on CNN. His show is
called "Anderson Cooper 360." He is a really good reporter whether it is reporting in the field,

performances which are "CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper reports "Miserable" situation in Tacloban,
Philippines" which focuses on his field reporting. "Anderson Cooper is surprised to find himself on
the RidicuList for smelly candles" which focuses on reading off a teleprompter. "Anderson Cooper,

the station with Kellyanne Conway at a different location. Finally "Anderson Cooper interviews

Assume that each employee, working at practical capacity, can process 125 purchase orders per
month, leading to an estimated cost of $20 for processing each purchase order.® Thus, the
organization, each month, spends $25,000. This expenditure provides a capability to process up to
1,250 purchase orders [the activity availability] during the month. During any particular month, the
department may be asked to process fewer purchase orders, say only 1,O(X). At an estimated cost of
$20 /purchase order, the ABC system would assign $20,000 of expenses to the parts and materials
ordered by the purchasing department that month. The remaining $5,000 of monthly operating
expenses represents the cost of unused capacity in the purchase order processing activity. This
example shows why companies need two different reporting systems. The periodic financial
statements provide information on the cost of activities supplied each period (the $25,000 monthly
expense in the purchasing department); and the activity–based cost system provides information on
the quantity (1,000 purchase orders) and the estimated cost ($20,000) of activities actually used in a
period. The difference ($5,000) between the cost of activities supplied ($25,000) and the cost of
activities used ($20,000) equals the cost of unused capacity (or capacity shortage) during the period.
And this difference is measured for each organizational activity, defined by

Frank James Cooper 's The Winning Of Barbara Worth
The renowned actor, known as Frank James Cooper, had an affluent upbringing. Frank James
Cooper, also known as Gary Cooper, was born on May, 7, 1901, on a ranch in Helena, Montana. His
father, Charles Cooper, was a lawyer from England. His mother's name was Alice Cooper. Cooper
began his education at a prestigious school in England. Then, he attended Grinnell College in Iowa,
which he grew a passion for making cartoons. While at Grinnell College Gary Cooper got into a bad
car accident. Interestingly, his rehabilitation was horseback riding. Gary Cooper then decided to
move to the movie center of the United States, Hollywood. Around this time, Hollywood was in a
craze for western movies to revive the United States' history. Cooper ended up becoming an extra
for movies as a horseback rider. The first movie Gary starred in was called The Winning of Barbara
Worth, which was a silent movie. This movie is about two engineers who are fighting to be with
Barbara Worth, but she ends up being captured by a mob. Another conflict in the movie is Barbara
Worth's father's dam, which provides water to the desert, is failing. The engineers decide to put their
differences aside, and they restore the dam and save Barbara. The engineers were played by Gary
Cooper, who was Abe Lee, and Ronald Colman, who was Willard Holmes. Barbara Worth was
played by Vilma Banky. His first major role in a movie with words was the Virginian, which is a
comedy about two guys, one being Cooper, fighting for

Cooper Union Conflict
When Abraham Lincoln gave his Cooper Union Address it is doubtful that he knew its impact on the
country and ultimately the future of the Union. In his Cooper Union Address, future president
Abraham Lincoln thoroughly rebuked the southern Democrats Stephen A. Douglas' statements about
the Republicans' slavery stance by using not only the oppositions wording against them, he
supported his arguments with true examples sited from the signatories of the Constitution and their
past voting record, from information gleaned during his career as a lawyer, and from his sense of
honor and ethics. Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party had some very strong constituents,
mainly those with very strong Free Soil tendencies. For this reason along with personal beliefs on
Lincoln's part the Republicans, led by Lincoln in the presidential election, were strongly against the
expansion of slavery into the territories
By using past precedents Lincoln gave some serious weight to his arguments on the nature of the
Republican's stance on slavery and the federal government's rights to limit slavery in the Territories.
Since the opposing party's argument was that the framers knew more about the issue of slavery and
its expansion than they did now. Lincoln turned this argument for the use of the Republicans by
explaining the voting records of the majority of the men who signed the Constitution. When the
question of slavery in the Northwest Territory became an issue Lincoln sites the fact that of

Cooper And Garner
Cooper & Garner, (2012) speak of the three R's one of them being a relationship, "trusting
relationships between teachers and students prime the brain for learning, activate willingness to
cooperate, and encourage excellence" p. 4. Securing relationships with students will allow the
classroom to develop and stabilize into a "learning classroom". As an educator, the focus can then be
on facilitating advancement in knowledge. I currently find that the development of a respectful
relationship with clinical students and new employees allows the facilitation of a conducive learning
environment. Of course as discussed in Cooper & Garner, (2012) I believe that it then leads to a
"growth mindset" allowing for a more impactful learning experience.
Vygotsky's theories are particularly useful in the clinical setting. For instance, for the student nurse
scaffolding allows for the provision of support until a new skill is learned. Whereas, scaffolding in
the orientation of a new nurse as described in Slavin, (2015) Chapter 2 is part of a concept called
"cognitive apprenticeship and entails one on one instruction" p. 40. Another concept is that of
cooperative learning this is demonstrated in the nursing simulation laboratory as students learn to
develop critical thinking skills based on each other's actions and questions during simulation
scenarios.
In Slavin Chapter 6 the levels of processing theory are of particular interest as the more meaning or
emphasis placed on details the more likely you are to store it in your long–term memory. As an
educator knowing what aspects of material to emphasize would behoove the students' long–term
memory of the important material. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Provided that most people think D.B. Cooper died, which is my first theory, I am going to give the

you've never found his body. (FBI. "A Byte Out of History The D.B. Cooper Mystery." The FBI
Federal Bureau of Investigation. FBI, 24 Nov. 2006. Web. 5 Jan. 2016.) Also, the FBI has not
confirmed that the parachute they found was Cooper's either way Cooper was not found with the
parachute, so if it was his it shows he survived his jump (at least long enough to take the parachute
off and move). The next theory is Duane Weber is D.B. Cooper.The first reason why Duane Weber
doesn't "check out" is because forensic science ruled him out, simply his DNA did not match
Cooper's which was found on his JC Penny tie and neither did his fingerprints which were found on
various objects. (Stacks, Robert. "D.B. Cooper Mystery." Unsolved Mysteries. N.p., 30 July 2014.

were Victor's brother, Williams, sign of his funeral and his last goodbye. Shelley writes, "While I
watched the tempest, so beautiful yet terrific, I wandered on with a hasty step. This noble war in the
sky elevated my spirits; I clasped my hands, and exclaimed aloud, "William, dear angel! This is thy
funeral, this thy dirge!" meaning that the storms going around him were his brothers funeral and a
sign of his brother presence. The purpose the natural settings serve in Shelley's novel was to set the
mood, and make the reader feel what Victor is going through. She shows us that Victor is in a deep
depression and has rage for his brother's killer, which Victor is responsible for because he was the
creator of his brother's murderer. Shelley describes Nature, who has winds that "whispered in
soothing accents," like a caring mother who tells Victor to "weep no more." The descriptions of
nature are related to Victor's project of creating life because Victor is the monster. He created the

Cooper Industries' Corporate Strategy
Case Analysis
Company Vision
The vision of Cooper Industries, as stated in the case, was to do an 'outstanding job at the
unglamorous part by making necessary products of exceptional quality.' The goal was to operate in
industries that had become somewhat of a necessity for consumers. Examples of such industries
include: power transmission, hand tools, drilling and others. Cooper industries had started in 1833,
as an iron foundry, and had existed most of its 150 years as a small sized maker of engines and
compressors. However, all this changed in the 1960s, when the management decided to expand the
company to lessen its dependence on the capital expenditures of the cyclical natural gas business. ...

Cooper also divested many less profitable businesses over an eighteen year period from 1970 to
1988. The benefit added by the Cooper conglomerate to its business units justifies the costs
associated with a corporate / centralized control. Furthermore, Cooper's corporate management
effectively managed and invested in the best opportunities for growth with little political bias.
Production
In order to achieve its goals clear guidelines were set that specified the degree and timing of
acquisitions – focusing only on companies that exhibited stable earnings or earnings countercyclical
to the gas transmission industry. Cooper focused on acquisition targets that possessed strong assets
with high quality manufacturing and market–leading positions. Cooper continued to refine this
acquisition model seeking companies with stable earnings using well–known technologies that
served a broad customer base. Furthermore, Cooper focused on firms with high quality products and
recognized brand names.
In addition to acquisitions, Cooper brought significant systematic value to its businesses. Examples
of these contributions include, but are not limited to:
Finance
* the flow of financial resources to the individual businesses; * unity of purpose and focus under a
common corporate strategy (further supporting the firm's strategy as it relates to acquisitions and
divestitures); * FMV

James Fenimore Cooper had a very interesting life, molded American literature, and influenced
many popular authors, such as Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Francis Parkman, and
even Mark Twain, through his "literary offenses."(1) The experiences Cooper had throughout his life
shaped his rogue character and literary style. The evidence of Cooper's impact to American literature
is well documented.
James Fenimore Cooper was born on September 15, 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey to William
Cooper and Elizabeth Fenimore. James was the last of twelve children; only seven survived
childhood: Richard, Hannah, Isaac, Ann, William and Samuel. Within the first year of James' birth,

At the age of 12, William Cooper resolved to send James to a Latin based boarding school run by
Reverend Thomas Ellison. James' closest companion in boarding school was William Jay, the
second son of governor John Jay. They used to adventure around New York, especially in the
excavated plot of land which Saint Peter's Church would be built on, with other boys who would
later become business for the state. This foreshadowed James' trickster attitude. By the age of
thirteen, James entered Yale College.
Some evidence to the claims of James' rogue character surface during his time at Yale. Simply
stated: Cooper was a prankster. It is reported that he put a donkey in a teacher's classroom, and
many other tricks. James never got into large trouble until his biggest prank: he blew up another
student's dorm door with gunpowder. By the age of 16, James Fenimore Cooper was expelled from
Yale College.
Shortly after James left Yale, he enrolled in the Navy. There is little to no information about this
time of his life other than it being a basis for his first book: Afloat and Ashore: A Sea Tale. On
December 22, 1809, his father, William Cooper died from a blow to the back of the head delivered
by a political opponent; this was a devastating episode as James was at sea when his father passed.
Shortly after, James met Susan DeLancey, whom he married on on January 1, 1811. The DeLanceys
were a wealthy family related to

mustard, and low–sodium soy sauce (G, 2016). OCD has dramatically changed the order of his life,
symptoms such as a germaphobe or having a particular spot on the couch are some of the many
things that Sheldon does as a result of his OCD. Sheldon compulsion has also lead him to repeat his
own words or make repetitive movements. For example, knocking on the door three times while
calling out the name such as: knock knock knock Penny, knock knock Penny, knock knock Penny. If
Penny, his next–door neighbor, opens the door after the second set of knocks, Sheldon would have
to finish knocking the third set of knocks because it left him with an unfinished feeling. Sheldon has
clearly shown throughout the show his obsessive–compulsions towards sitting in the same spot on
the couch, having a routine dinner schedule, and having a repetition for words or actions. As shown

Dan Cooper became known as D. B. Cooper when the FBI questioned someone with that name, who
was found unrelated to the crime (Abacha and Gilmore 234). A few months after Cooper's
disappearance, another skyjack, very similar to Cooper's, was carried out by Richard McCoy
(Warchol 1). McCoy jumped out of the back of a Boeing 727 over Provo, California, with a
$500,000 ransom that FBI later found in his home (Warchol 1; Abacha and Gilmore 234). He
received a forty–five year prison sentence, but he escaped in 1974 by crafting a faux pistol out of
dental paste but later died in a shoot–out with police (Warchol 1; Abacha and Gilmore 234). In 1995,
a man named Duane Weber confessed on his deathbed to his wife, Jo, that he was Dan Cooper. Jo
looked up the name and learned of D. B. Cooper who by description looked very much like her
husband did when he was young. The FBI compared his fingerprints to the sixty–six found on the
plane, but none matched (Abacha and Gilmore 234). A woman named Marla Cooper claimed in
2011 that D. B. Cooper was her uncle who had passed away in 1999. Cooper remembers her uncle,

because he had hijacked a plane. She also declared that her father told her shortly before his death
that L.D. Cooper had done it (Johnson and Welch). However, L.D. Cooper was eliminated from the

market segment they are weaker in.
2. FMV of Nicholson = $172,630,000
Per share value = $295.60
I was not able to come up with a valid firm value, as there was no information regarding how much

expenditures were assumed to equal depreciation and it was assumed working capital was not

they were unable to acquire enough shares to buy the company they are now looking to sell their

therefore the price and liquidity. They are looking to get the most money out the stocks that they can

to quickly liquidate their stocks and so would prefer to receive cash. Though they have expressed
that convertible preferred stock would be acceptable as they know Cooper stock is stable and is

Cooper did not change her design choices based on the industry's demands. Instead, she chose to
change how artists interact with the mass production of their work. Cooper, revolutionized how we,
the people, and the artists connected with art. By making the feedback system between production
and design much shorter, designers could see how their design choices affected the production line.
This makes for better, more efficient production, without changing the quality of the designs. Muriel
Cooper, is truly the maker of the modern world's mass produced design content. A comparison
between Bauhaus and Cooper might seem a little unfair considering that they were entities that
existed in extremely different times. Given the unfortunate destiny of the many schools of Bauhaus,
the closing down of the school and the obligation to work under the pressure of Nazi Germany, they
could have been somewhat obstructed from truly doing what they intended. However, this does not
mean that what Cooper achieved is not remarkable. Her time was the information age, and while the
pressure of this aspect might not be higher than that of Nazi Germany, she achieved great things

Return on Investment Cooper
Overview This case, as the Happy Chips Case does, illustrates the point that it is important to know
where your costs and profits come from. It extends the point of Happy Chips by also introducing
consideration of asset investments and return on assets. In this case, a new cost accountant
introduces segmental profitability, contribution margin, and the strategic profit model to Cooper
Processing Company to aid in analysis of two different distribution channels. Note to Instructors:

Similarly, $1,200,000 and $100,000 for the Food Service Channel must be included. When these
two expense categories are included for the two distribution channels, the total of unallocated
(indirect expense) is reduced to $12,600,000 (not $15,000,000). Some students will argue that this
activity–based approach didn't really provide much insight since both channels are profitable. It
should be strongly emphasized that, while it is true that both are profitable, the "net profit" approach
is still quite misleading. From slide 1, one might conclude that both channels are equally profitable
in terms of both dollar profits and profit percentage. Slide 2 clearly indicates that it is the Food
Service channel that is making a substantially greater contribution to overall profitability of the
company. 2. What is the "ROA" of each channel? Slides 3 and 4 provide strategic profit model
analyses of the two channels. For the Retail Channel, direct asset investments include inventory,
accounts receivable, and the labeling machine. For the Food Service channel the only direct asset
investments are inventory and accounts receivable. The result is that the Food Service channel has a
substantially higher ROA on the assets that are directly associated with it. 3. Any recommendations?
