Discussion Background
Prior to the financial recession in the late 2000s, some companies had built up significant cash balances. By 2010, discussions began about whether “cash hoarding” by firms was an appropriate activity or if it was hurting the economic recovery. Research this issue and answer the following questions:
What are the advantages of having a large cash balance? Please describe and provide examples.
What are the disadvantages of having a large cash balance? Please describe and provide examples.
Research a publicly traded company that holds a sizable amounts of cash and liquid investments on their balance sheets. Describe the company, the balance and how that balance has varied over the past three years.
Use the subject line as an advanced organizer to allow your classmates and the instructor to have some idea of what you’re posting is about, for example a subject line “response to discussion question” is not appropriate. Your responses to fellow students should contain substance, should be more than just opinion, and must go beyond a simple agreement or disagreement. Students are expected to provide at least (2) substantive responses to other students’ initial posts.
