Abstract
This paper presents a managerial accounting case study. In 1977 all Federal Reserve Banks were being pressured by the Board of Governors to reduce costs by targeting the banks' savings bonds processing activities since cost ratios for the activity at the FRBR were inferior to Federal Reserve System averages. The author uses three methods of analysis, each with three alternatives: Payback Period Analysis, Net Present Value Analysis and Internal Rate of Return Analysis.

From the Paper
"The typical approach to payback period analysis requires that the initial investment be divided by the mean positive annual cash flow or benefit (such as a cost reduction in this present case analysis). In the case of alternative initiative number one, however, the initial investment all occurs in a six-month period. Thus, the annual cost savings attributable to the initiative were converted to semi-annual periods for the payback period analysis of this alternative. Thus, instead of using the formula payback period = initial investment/annual cost savings, the formula payback period = (initial investment/semi-annual cost savings)/2 was applied. The derivations of the costs and benefits used in this analysis are detailed in the NPV analyses. "

Abstract
This paper examines the Reebok International and Adidas-Saloman AG merger of 2006, to form a new company now effectively renamed the Adidas Group. The paper points out that Adidas acquired Reebok for $59 per outstanding share in a total value deal of $3.1b. It asserts that each company had an entrenched access to a major market that the other company desperately needed in order to maintain consistent growth rates. In Reebok's case, Adidas dominated the European market and the merger allowed it to piggy-back all of Adidas' established apparel, footwear and equipment sales and distribution channels. In return, Reebok gave Adidas instant access to the North American market allowing it to more effectively market its brand there without trying to grow it further organically and at much greater expense over the long-term. The paper posits that the relative success of the merger and the strengths that the combined company has across the global markets, particularly in China, ensure that Adidas' restructuring strategy will enable it to compete on a more even competitive footing with its main riva,l Nike. The paper concludes that, in order to fully capitalize on this strategy, Adidas should pursue the China market even more fervently and continue to lock up sponsorships across that market until the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 World Expo.

"Since athletic wear and certainly athletic footwear are considered a luxury buy for most consumers, any economic downturn can have a deep and disastrous effect on athletic footwear or athletic apparel competitors' revenues. While the effect on sales of the recent natural disasters in the United States is not yet fully recognized, the continued high price of gasoline could have a long-term effect on sales growth in all of Reebok's product categories. Certainly inflationary pressures may negatively impact any retailer's revenues since inflation reduces disposable consumer income."

Abstract
This paper relates that USTech is considering two new strategies. The author explains that the first strategic consideration is to further reduce operating costs and improve its profit margins by removing its original design manufacturer from the cost equation. The paper then explains that the second strategic option is to enter the Chinese market rather than simply utilizing its outsourcing manufacturers. In addition, the paper outlines the recommended USTech's strategic action plan, which should be implemented to shift its contract manufacturing away from TaiSource and over to a mainland Chinese manufacturer as well as to accomplish an effective market entry strategy to allow the company to enter the Chinese market itself.
From the Paper
"Clearly, USTech's willingness to risk its relationship by hiring away one of TaiSource's critical employees demonstrated to TaiSource that the relationship that it had developed with USTech was not one based on trust and therefore the long-term viability of the contracting arrangement was not realistic. Yet, while Greg is beginning to sense the severity of the damage that USTech has done to its relationship with TaiSource both he and the company is completely at a loss about how to continue when their choices are obvious to all who are familiar with the cultural character of the Chinese and, specifically, the Taiwanese culture."

From the Paper

Because of the shared retail distribution channels among its diversified product lines Rayovac can now leverage its product volumes to gain better terms from retailers. The only major negative strategic attribute for Rayovac is its debt structure that the company undertook to finance all of its acquisitions which is substantial 2 notes above $500m at 7.4% and 8.5% interest respectively and numerous other valued from 3 to several hundred million and comparable interest rates.

Case Analysis: Gonzales vs. Oregon, 2006.

Abstract
A written analysis of the case of "Gonzales vs. Oregon", which is currently being debated at the Supreme Court level. This case stems from the 1994 passage of the Death with Dignity Act, which allows terminally ill and mentally competent individuals to obtain drugs that could be utilized in the state of Oregon. The current debate questions administrative law and whether the former Attorney General John Ashcroft's interpretation of the Federal Control Substance Act to outlaw these drugs is valid and if the Justice Department is overstepping its boundaries.
From the Paper
"Oregon voters approved the legalization of physician assisted suicide (PAS) in November, 1994. After being legally challenged the Oregon PAS law became effective in the latter part of 1987. Since 1998 and through 2004 there have been a total of 208 PAS deaths in the State of Oregon. There are existing concerns with the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and there has been a great debate about the legality and morality of this practice. All levels of American society look harshly upon the thought of the use of drugs or other means to hasten the death of someone even though they may be in excruciating terminal pain however, healthcare modernization has changed the very "character of death and dying." (Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, 2005) The case of Gonzales v. Oregon has arisen out of the debate which is one that is morally charged in nature as well as being the focus of lawsuits in relation to end-of-life decisions. However, this case has been subject to technical legalities and statutory interpretation."

Table of Contents:
Core Competencies
First Alternative
Second Alternative
Recommendation
From the Paper
"United Parcel Service has made dramatic enhancements to their technological operations over the past ten years. These advances have paid large dividends in the U.S. market and, in conjunction with the capital raised by the company's initial public offering in 1996, have enabled the company to significantly expand operations internationally. Despite great strides in electronic access globally (i.e. web, wireless technology, UPS OnLinea Advantage, & UPS OnLinea Worldlink), these services appear to be underutilized. Recently, UPS has been finding growth through geographic expansion. With delivery capabilities already in excess of 200 countries, this method will inevitably fail to offer additional growth. Therefore, the problem UPS is facing is the maturing of their previous growth model and a necessity to redefine or augment corporate strategy."
