Hansson Private Lab SolutionsHansson Private Label (HPL) is a manufacturer of personal care products. The company was purchased by Mr Hanson in 1992. The investment represented significant risk for Hanson because a significant portion of his wealth was tied up is a single investment. Over the past sixteen years, Hanson has grown the company at a conservative but persistent fashion. He is now faced with an investment opportunity that promises swift growth, but also accompanies significant amount of risk. The sales of the private labels are dependent on few larger customers, and customer retention is very important to a company like HPL. Recently, HPL’s largest customer has approach the company for a large order. The company will need to invest in expanding its facilities in order to meet the order requirements. This is an excellent opportunity for HPL, but the downside is that the customer would only commit to a three-year contract and the company can bear significant losses if the customer refuses to buy the product after the contract expires. Therefore, Hansson needs to accurately calculate the cash flows related to the investment and account for the risk inherent in the investment before he can make decision on the expansion project.

Washington, D.C. – CMD, a large media company headquartered in Washington, D.C., is now a major defendant in the prosecution of two of the most famous whistleblowers in modern U.S. history. The former government contractor Edward Snowden began working for the Office of Personnel Management in January 2013 because of concerns over the government’s actions toward the private sector. In April of last year, the Justice Department charged the two whistle-blowers with espionage for providing security to the U.S. government. Snowden’s case, which he fled to Hong Kong at his own request, has ignited international discussions on how to protect U.S. national security.
Snowden’s case against U.S. agencies has been the subject of intense scrutiny in many corners of the media in the past fortnight. After the Snowden scandal erupted in September 2012, the U.S. government took in $1 billion in government grant money, which have steadily continued through the 2013-14 fiscal year. However, the public’s reactions to the disclosures have varied considerably, with some pointing to the public’s reluctance to have anyone testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and others questioning the legality of the grant funds.
Last Friday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held some hearings on Snowden’s case
