You are the public relations director of a nonprofit hospital in a competitive market in a midsized city located in a metro area

of 350,000 people. It is sweeps week for broadcast media. One of the stations is running a series on HIV/AIDS in the community. Recent segments have included those listed below.
Homelessness related to HIV/AIDS
How persons living with HIV/AIDS suffer from being outcasts
How understanding has increased in some circles but prejudice remains in many.
An appealing case of a hemophiliac who acquired HIV/AIDS through transfusion at the university hospital has been reported in the series. The university and its teaching hospital are located elsewhere in the state.

At a staff meeting this morning, you learn that petitions are circulating in the community to request your hospital to convert its former nurses’ residence into a clinic and residential shelter for HIV/AIDS patients.

The hospital no longer maintains a school of nursing. The three-story brick building has been used for miscellaneous administrative purposes since nurses’ training was phased out. The residence is connected to the hospital by an elevated corridor, similar to a skywalk. It does not have facilities for food service or laundry. Nurses always ate at the hospital and the hospital handled their laundry. The residence and hospital are served by common systems for hot water, steam heat, ventilating and sewer. The building predates central air conditioning.

The human resources director reports that the business agent for kitchen and laundry workers, who are represented by a union, has already made informal contacts about this proposal, suggesting that grievances will result, at the very least, and a strike could ensue.

Your director of volunteers expresses concern about reaction of volunteers who now handle many peripheral duties. Your physical plant supervisor, who lives in the neighborhood, says neighbors are already anxious over the possibility of HIV/AIDS patients in their vicinity. Your hospital’s five-year Strategic Plan, which was recently updated, has no mention of developing an HIV/AIDS specialty.

Write a letter (using your own name) to the hospital CEO, John Dolman and the Board of Governors outlining your plan to resolve this issue. Remember, that your letter will be made public to the other audiences and publics. In your recommendations, you should provide both long and short-term strategies that would solve this problem. To solve this problem you should note if additional resources or expenditures would be need to achieve the goals that you define.

When writing the letter you should provide a brief description of the problems, you have found. What are the facts about major issues? Identify facts about key players in the case, the business problem(s) and then rank order the critical issues. Consider relevant information and underlying assumptions. Finally provide your recommendations.

As you write your recommendations, think about the following;

a. How do the cultural values at the hospital relate to communication, technology, information flow and openness?
b. As the hospital goes forward, should it stick to the espoused culture or should it change? How would you recommend that they change?
c. How would you suggest that they resolve this disparity? In other words what should they do?
d. Provide specific suggestions that will help the organization as they go forward.
e. In the closing, highlight benefits of your recommendations. As a PR director, you need to be honest but tactful in your recommendations

Answer:

HIV AIDS is contagious disease. It is responsibility of the healthcare professionals to handle the person with special care. This virus spread quickly in the body of the victim and the person is often unaware of the disease due to very mild or no symptoms.

Explanation:

To: CEO

Park lane Hospital

Central London,

09 - 06 -2021.

Respected Sir,

It is to bring into your knowledge about the spread of HIV/AIDS in the city. The people are unaware about the disease spread and those infected are carrying disease to others. There should be campaign run by the hospital to inform people about the spread of this contagious disease and preventions measures.

There should also be special arrangement for the people infected by the disease to stay and live in a separate house so the spread can be stopped.  The hospital can allow people with symptoms for a free checkup so that more people can come and have their routine checkup.

It is high time because if the spread will increase at the same rate then controlling the disease would become difficult.

Regards,

John Andrews.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

A. $450

B. $480

C. $540

D. The choice of capitl structure is irrelevant because the amount of $480 is the payoff amount based on the proposed capital structure with 30% debt, which indicate that investors cannot make use of home leverage to help create the capital structure as well as the payoffs they like.

Explanation:

a) Calculation to determine her cash flow under the current capital structure

First step is to calculate the earnings per share

EPS = $29,000 / 6,500 shares

EPS = $4.5

Now let calculate the cash flow under the current capital structure

Cash flow = $4.5*(100 shares)

Cash flow = $450

Therefore her cash flow under the current capital structure will be $450

b) Calculation to determine What will be the cash flow be under the proposed capital structure of the firm

First step is to calculate the earnings per share

First step is to calculate the MV of the firm

MV of the firm= $45(6,500)

MV of the firm= $292,500

Second step is to calculate the Debt

Debt = .30 x ($292,500)

Debt= $87,750

Third step is to calculate the Interest

Interest =8% x $87,750

Interest = $7,020

Fourth step is to calculate the repurchase shares

Repurchase shares =$87,750 / $45

Repurchase shares= 1,950

Fifth step is to calculate the Shrout new

Shrout new =6,500 - 1,950

Shrout new=4,550

Therefore, under the new capital structure,

EPS = (EBIT - Interest) / shares outstanding new

EPS = ($29,000 -$7,020) / 4,550shares

EPS =$21,980/4,550 shares

EPS =4.8

The shareholder will receive = $4.8*(100 shares) = $480

Therefore What will be the cash flow be under the proposed capital structure of the firm is $480

c) Calculation to Show how she could unlever her shares of stock to re-create the original structure.

Now she owns a total of 200 shares

Her payoff =[ (100 shares+100 shares) x $4.5 ]- [8% x $(100 shares x $45)]

Her payoff =(200shares×$4.5)-(8%×$4,500)

Her payoff =$900-$360

Her payoff= $540

Therefore Based on the above Calculation Allison did not successfully replicate the payoffs (b) under the proposed capital structure

d).Based on the above Calculation the choice of capitl structure is irrelevant because the amount of $480 is the payoff amount based on the proposed capital structure with 30% debt, which indicate that investors cannot make use of home leverage to help create the capital structure as well as the payoffs they like.
