company's credit rating? In answering this question, you may wish to consult the
Help section
for page 5 of the Camera & Drone Journal and read the discussion pertaining to
The Credit
Rating Measures."
Avoid all use of overtime in assembling cameras and drones
Do not increase the compensation paid to PAT members (until the desired credit rating
is
achieved)--this will help keep production costs for both cameras and drones from rising
Issue additional shares of common stock and use the proceeds to pay off bank loans,
thereby immediately improving the company's debt-equity percentages
Cut the prices the company charges for both cameras and drones in all four geographic
regions by at least 10% in order to improve the company's EPS, ROE, and stock price
Increase the size of the company's dividend payments to stockholders--this helps
reduce the
amount of retained earnings on the company's balance sheet (which in turn helps
increase
the company's interest coverage ratio)

regions in the
upcoming decision round); the best information, then the best place(s) to look for
