Mike Mayo takes on Citigroup (A) and (B)

Do you agree with Mike Mayo’s concerns about the extent of Citigroup’s DTA’s? Why or why not? I agree with Mike Mayo’s concern about Citigroup’s Deferred Tax Assets (DTA’s). Citigroup’s DTA’s increased from $4.7 billion at the end of 2006 to $38 billion by the third quarter of 2009. Citigroup would use the huge DTA’s to shield future profits from taxation to a tune of $38 billion. However, the accounting rules require that a firm can only carry the DTA’s if it is reasonably probable that the firm would ...

Social Responsibility of Business

Introduction The belief advanced by Milton Friedman connotes that the directors of a business must engage in business actions that bring only profits to the given business shareholders. In reference to notions of business ethics, the executive management of a business corporation must earn profits for the business owners within the rules of the game. Further, about corporate social responsibility, the business management mandate is to conduct business activities in such a way that they do not commit business resources to social responsibility activities, like charity, that have the potential of reducing business profits (Watson and Prevos, 2009).

With regard to the question “should marijuana be legalized,” we conclude the answer is “yes.” This conclusion is made based on the economics of the issue. The existing system involves significant expense to local government with no appreciable result. Marijuana remains readily available virtually anywhere in the nation, decades of the war on drugs notwithstanding. That a demand for this product exists is undeniable. Continued criminalization will accomplish nothing beyond driving costs up marginally. The evidence is seen in the results. To continue to do the same thing and expect a different result is one classic ...

We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

Undocumented immigrants have become a popular topic in the United States. When discussing them, there are many concerns surrounding allowing them into the country, how long they will stay, and what their presence here means for legal citizens. One such topic concerns a driver’s license and whether or not undocumented immigrants should be allowed to receive one. Many argue it would be better to allow undocumented immigrants to have a driver’s license, stating receiving a license is of no true consequence today compared to instances when terrorists were able to obtain one. While this may be true, ...

During the period in the US from 1890 to 1920, the so-called Progressive Era contributed to an enormous amount of social change.

Nearly one hundred years after the Progressive Era has ended, it appears more than ever that the people need strong governmental regulations to help keep many of the negative effects of capitalism, such as environmental pollution, in check. The Progressive Era ushered in a new role for government in America. For example, many ...
