Preseen Summary:
Couchweb is based in Mayland where the currency is M$. Couchweb is a media streaming company
which offers access to media content over the internet at any time and from anywhere. Subscribers pay
a small monthly fee, in return for which they can log into Couchweb’s website and view content online.
Subscribers can connect to the service using almost any device that can access the internet, including
smart televisions, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Couchweb’s subscribers can watch their choice of
programmes through their devices while connected to the site but can’t download them to watch offline.
Subscriptions are kept at a low price to attract high volumes of subscribers. Couchweb is one of the
world’s largest media companies. Initially, it operated exclusively in Mayland, but it has gradually moved
into neighbouring countries and now it streams content to more than 100 countries in over 20 languages.
Couchweb’s most immediate competitors are HomeVideo and MovieMaster. Both are smaller companies
than Couchweb and neither has products that are as technically advanced. Couchweb has a larger
subscriber base and so can afford to spend more on acquiring, and also creating, content.

, Suggested Answer:
Shareholder Wealth
Shareholder wealth is essentially determined by future cash flows, discounted at the
cost of equity. The cost of equity is determined by the beta coefficient, which focuses
on systematic risks. The shareholders’ wealth may not actually be significantly affected
in the long term because the risks that Jade has identified are really of a nature that
can be diversified away. If Jade resigns then she will undoubtedly be replaced with
someone else who is similarly experienced and qualified.
In the short term, Jade’s departure is likely to be perceived as bad news by the markets
and so the share price will decrease, temporarily reducing shareholder wealth.
Couchweb is a major quoted company and so her appointment is prestigious and will
undoubtedly be well paid. The fact that she is prepared to resign from such a post will
be interpreted as a sign that there are concerns about the company and so speculators
may sell shares immediately in the expectation of further disclosures about the
background. As time passes, Couchweb will undoubtedly be able to reassure the
markets.
