Homework Answers
1) A rotation in the board seats would make better sense as that would bring greater accountability.
So the correct answer is: They would want to change the corporate by-laws so that one third of the board seats are filled each year and each director serves a three year term.
2) Giving away all extra cash is not a very wise decision. This would erode any buffer that the firm may need.
So correct answer is: The board's decision is extremely risky and not very practical.
