Advantages of Mathematical Models in Conducting Economic Analysis
I’m studying and need help with an Economics question to help me learn.
Discussion
Economic analysis is based on some framework, and overall evaluation of an economic analysis requires an evaluation of the framework itself. Explain, in your own words, the advantages of using mathematical models as a
framework for conducting economic analysis.
Western Digital Company Case Study Questions
According to the Western Digital Corporation FY2017 10K, WDC “On May 12, 2016 (the “SanDisk Closing Date”), we completed the acquisition of SanDisk (the “Merger”), a global leader in NAND-flash storage solutions, pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 21, 2015.The aggregate purchase price of the Merger was $15.59 billion. In connection with the Merger, we entered into new debt facilities aggregating
approximately $18.09 billion in principal to finance a portion of the purchase price related to the Merger.” Within that context starting from EOY WDC FY 2015 carried forward through EOY WDC FY2018 and distributing your 750
words across five numbered questions, answer each question with a short comment and at least (minimum of) one or more sentences of supporting text, column of data, or figures extracted from one or more WDC 10K preceded
by the question number that your answer corresponds to:
Question 1: in terms of the 2017 10-K what does WDC state is the market and competitive landscape within which WDC competes and who were the transformative competitors, new entrants, emergent technologies, suppliers,
and buyers? What were the strategic objectives for WDC when they assumed $18.09 billion debt to acquire SanDisk?
Question 2: From EOY FY 2015 to EOY FY2016, what one to no more than four WDC revenue, net income, liquidity, leverage, turnover, profitability, and market value metrics is most descriptive of the impacts on WDC in the
competitive landscape due to the debt assumption and subsequent SanDisk acquisition? Why?
Question 3: In FY 2017, how did the acquisition help WDC remain in business? What one but no more four economic metrics support the claim?
Question 4: In FY 2018, what is the state of leverage at WDC? How did the increased leverage impact WDC financial health? What one but no more four economic metrics support the claim?
Question 5: Using selected elements of Fuchs alignment diagram theory, did WDC successfully or unsuccessfully combine and integrate the businesses and culture of SanDisk into WDC? Were the objectives of acquisition
successfully accomplished? What one to not more than four economic metrics from the FY2019 10K are the basis for your conclusion?
You should conduct your own literature review and obtain additional annual reports as well as 3rd party assessments before responding. Do cite source of 3rd party assessments. Do NOT include the text of the question in your
response, just the question number. Do NOT include a Competitiveness Landscape or a Corporate Alignment Diagram in your response. You should conduct your own literature review before responding. Students interested in
obtaining the latest or past annual reports or 10K’s for any currently publicly traded U.S. registered company can typically find the reports/10K by searching on “(company name) Investor Relations”. 10K’s for defunct but formerly
publicly traded U.S. registered companies may be found by searching the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission filings database at https://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
