The plaintiff company retained some of these payments, and remitted those balance to its parent company in America. The American company had an agreement with these distributors company, and of course the plaintiff company. The agreement stated that the business with the European distributors are not carried on the United Kingdom, hence the business are not subject to United Kingdom tax. The agreement was actually bringing the means that the plaintiff company is acting as its parent company’s agent and carried on the business in United Kingdom.

    Dawson Lumber Company Limited

    National Bank of Canada ("NBC" or "the Bank") is tasked with the decision to review Dawson Lumber Company Limited 's ("Dawson") request for an increase in its line of credit up to the amount of $10.8mm. Dawson intends to finance inventory and receivables with the line of credit. NBC must remain cognizant of the competitive landscape of the lumber industry and assess whether a focus on the retail segment is beneficial to Dawson 's strategic plan. Given that Dawson is one of the region 's largest borrowers, NBC must be careful in how it manages this relationship. The Bank cannot afford to turn away NBC 's business. However, extending Dawson additional credit may increase Dawson 's default risk and jeopardize the potential for NBC to retrieve the $4.2mm term loan it is already owed.…

    Ppl Corporation V. Commissioner of Internal Revenue

    The main issue in the case is whether or not a U.S. company receives a U.S. tax credit for paying the United Kingdom’s windfall tax. Along with the issue comes the question on whether or not the courts should employ a formalistic approach that looks solely at the form of the foreign tax statue and ignores how the tax actually operates, or should employ a substance based approach that considers factors such as the practical operation and intended effect of the foreign tax. Section 901 of the Internal Revenue Code allows U.S. Corporations a tax credit for income, war profits, and excess profits taxes paid to another country to avoid double taxation. This case involves the application of section 901 to a “winfall tax” (a one-time twenty three percent tax imposed by the United Kingdom on privatized companies).…

    Canadian Tire

    Many critical factors caused the company’s failure in the United States. In the early 1980s, the United States faced a severe recession due to the establishment of a contractionary monetary policy which reflected negatively on the American economy. Other factors to consider is the fact that Canadian Tire poorly chose to open up its stores in underdeveloped areas. Furthermore, one of the disadvantages in the beginning of a global expansion includes the loss of control. As a result of these factors, the American stores didn’t experience much growth and stores had to continuously slash prices on already low priced products. With low rates of growth and increasing competition from retail companies such as Walmart and Target which had a large group of loyal customers, Canadian Tire stood no chance in the American market.…

    Flyrock Tires

    The process of creating tires at Flyrock Tires involves 20 different steps to take the rubber from bales to final curing. Given this complexity and the high production volume (the factory produces about 10,000 tires per hour), it takes only a small margin of error in each of these steps to begin to compound and result in a high defective rate. For both public safety and their reputation, Flyrock strives to minimize the number of defects. The answers to the questions asked by this case form a good base for evaluating the production and extrusion process at Flyrock. The company begins by setting expectations for what defect rates should be under ideal conditions as well as setting expectations for defect rates when machinery has become worn out. This allows them to detect things like worn bearings in machinery. The case also begins the framework for evaluating the process from a six-sigma perspective and how this might help control defects.…
