Instructional Case: Java & Holes

Abstract

The primary subject matter of this case concerns a review of earnings per share, ratio analysis, and cost of capital concepts.  A secondary issue includes evaluation of alternative strategies within the constraints of debt covenants.  The case was designed to use as a review of financial accounting concepts in a MBA managerial accounting course.  However, the case has a difficulty level appropriate for seniors or first or second year graduate students.  The case is designed as a review and should be completed entirely outside of class.  Depending on financial background, students will require approximately ten to fifteen hours to complete the case.
