The following information are for Question 13-15 McCoy Group's stock price had been lagging its industry averages, so its board of directors brought in a new CEO, Bradon Lee. Lee had brought in Leah Smith, a finance MBA who had been working for a consulting company, to replace the old CFO, and Lee asked Leah to develop the financial planning section of the strategic plan. In her previous job Smith's primary task had been to help clients develop financial forecasts, and that was one reason Lee hired her.
