The Constitution limits power on Government through Checks and Balances. In a 1944 case between Korematsu and the United States during World War II, a presidential executive order gave the military authority to exclude citizens of Japanese descent from areas deemed critical to national defense and potentially vulnerable to espionage.

Sunflower Nutraceuticals (SNC) is a nutraceuticals distributor based in Miami, Florida. Prior to 2012, SNC had flat annual sales growth with total revenues of $10 million and had been experiencing financing issues due to its thin margins and high working capital intensity.

AT provided SNC with a line of credit of $3.7 million at a 10% interest rate for a 10% equity stake.

The poem “From this Height” by Tony Hoagland explores the ideas of the power of wealth, individual versus society, and the circle of life. The speaker, a very wealthy man, uses his money to support his opulent lifestyle. His wealth gives him a very affluent place in society and access to many things a middle class man would only dream of. The speaker struggles with the fact that society played a huge role in his success, yet most people do not get to life the way that he does. The idea of the “circle of life” gives the speaker a reason to justify the way he uses his money and lives his life, because he realizes “it would be a sin not to enjoy” all that he has been blessed with.

Gemini Electronics has become a successful electronics company that looks to be growing on an upward slope. We can see where Gemini is booming, as well as where they are lacking, by analyzing their Ratios and Statement of Cash Flow. Liquidity measures a firm’s ability to meet its cash obligations; shown by calculating the Current Ratio and the Quick Ratio. Gemini’s liquidity has slightly increased from 2008 to 2009, but remains below the industry average. An acceptable Current Ratio should be around 2:1, which Gemini has exceeded in 2008 (2.52:1) and 2009 (2.56:1).

For the purposes of this consideration an enterprise value of $2 billion will be used to correct for a possible overestimation of Six Flags enterprise value. When a company is going to losing value, as Six Flags is, investors will want to hold the safest securities they can to avoid all their value being eroded. In this case, neither common nor preferred stocks are going to receive any recovery. This is intuitive as creditors will not approve a reorganization that gives money to equity holders, as they want that cash to recover more of their losses. Ideally, H Partners would hold the most senior, unsecured debt that is available, in this case SFO bonds. The only security that would be safer is secured debt, however, this debt is not going to be purchasable as the issuing party can recuperate all their capital through the underlying assets. While it is not guaranteed that the senior debt will be completely safe, it is the most likely to survive and recover more than the other
