Assume that you are the CFO of a company and that is considering going public and issuing equity in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

a) Provide two reasons why this might be a good decision?

b) What is your primary social responsibility if your firm goes public?

c) Your company is thinking about making an investment in New Zealand. Your company venturing into New Zealand may result in the loss of employment for some hard-working local employees (there will be a shift in some jobs overseas). How will this information affect your decision making?
