After reading the case study, "Financial Policy at Apple" answer these four questions as a group:
•What is the principle "high class" problem, which Apple management must address?
•Generating excessive cash is a sign of business success, so why is having it a problem?
•Should Apple give Einhorn and their largest shareholders what they want and return most of the $137-billion in cash to shareholders rather than let it sit unusued?
•If so, how much and through what method?
•Or, should Apple keep most of its unused cash to invest in new technologies and to deal with uncertainties in their markets?
•If so, how should they treat the 35% of their cash held overseas and subject to repatriation tax?
•What is the best course of action that will please shareholders, but also leave the company room to innovate?
•What role does financial forecasting play in this decision?
