2. If you were the CFO of the aerospace company Boeing, how you would approach
capital allocation decisions and strategic financial management in the current climate
in terms of preparing the company for the near-term future. (Note: I do not expect you

you as CFO would do to make this company more attractive to equity investors – i.e.
try and look at this from an equity investor’s perspective and think about managing
their expectations)
