To Meet Tomorrow: The Need For Change

Your Advisory Commission recommends to you in the report transmitted herewith that the superior, municipal and justice courts of each county of this state be merged into a single trial court--the countywide superior court. Under this proposed unification, all supporting personnel attached to these new courts (including the clerks, marshals and reporters) would be placed under the exclusive control and supervision of the courts. The new courts would be administered courts and would follow generally uniform procedures and practices. They would be exclusively state financed; therefore, all revenues generated by them, such as fines and filing fees, would go to the state alone. There would be but one class of judges in these courts. The advantages of a completely unified trial court system are many

As a result, participants in these plans also are paying more of their plans’ costs, ranging from administration and sales expenses to the cost of managing investments. These costs can take a substantial toll on retirement savings. Over a 30-year career, for example, paying an annual fee of 50 basis points can reduce the purchasing power of savings at the time of retirement by one-eighth. Employers who sponsor 401(k) plans have a fiduciary responsibility to ensure their plans’ fees are reasonable and communicated to participants. Recently, the Government Accountability Office reported that participants need more information and sponsors need to disclose this information more effectively to fulfill this responsibility. The Department of Labor is revising regulations to require sponsors to report the fees of their plans more clearly to their employees. Congress also has been holding hearings, inquiring if greater disclosure would help reduce costs within 401(k) plans...

The Influence of Capital Structure on Profitability and Firm Value (a Study on Food and Beverage Companies Listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange 2010-2012 Period)

This research is conducted to enhance the knowledge about capital structure, profitability, and firm value. In this research, the capital structure is represented by three indicators: Debt Ratio, Debt Equity Ratio, and Long Term Debt to Equity. Profitability is examined by Return on Asset, Return on Equity and Net Profit Margin, while firm value is proxy by Book Value, Price to Book Value, and Closing Price. Using Partial Least Square Method, this study finds that all indicators are useful to measure the latent variables. While in the analysis of structural model or inner model, the result supports Hypothesis 1 that capital structure has negatively significant influence on firm value. The higher the debts that firms employed, the lower its values. This study also supports Hypothesis 2 that capital structure influences the profitability significantly. This indicates that firms with high capital structures will have a decrease in profit. The result of the research also supports Hypothesis 3 that profitability influences the firm values positively. It means that higher profitability of a firm will result in a higher firm value
