You have been hired as a Financial Analyst by your chosen company. Your assignment is to estimate the firm’s cost of capital for a new expansion project. To get started, The Director of Finance has asked you to gather the following information in order to complete your estimates for the cost or capital. Use your chosen company’s most recent annual financial statements and the firm’s marginal tax rate to compute any after-tax costs, ensuring you show your work for all computations.
In your paper,

Compute the component cost for the current outstanding bonds and long-term debt. (You do not need to calculate short term debt, as the firm does not use short-term debt on a permanent basis.)
Compute the component cost for the firm’s preferred stock, if applicable.
Compute the component cost for the firm’s common stock at its current selling price.
Compute the firm’s current target capital structure.
Compute your chosen company’s weighted average cost of capital.
Determine the area of your analysis that has the greatest potential for error.

Identify the reason for the potential for error.
Identify what could be done, if anything, to improve computations in these areas.

Recommend an optimal capital structure to the finance director.

Discuss the pros and cons of your recommendations using credible sources to support your analysis

3-2 Milestone One: Data ExtractionMilestones 1 and 2 become part of the final project. (Do not include Milestone 1 in Milestone 2). There is a video with a script explaining the final project in the announcements. Reviewing the video was required in Module 1. First off, Milestone 1 is a slide presentation, therefore, please do not submit a Word document! Review the Guidelines for Submission on page 2 for further details such as how many slides are needed, etc. and follow those directions. Use APA format for use of any published sources cited in the slides. Do not list the SNHU Scenario as a source since it is not a published document. Please use a light-colored background so the text will be easily read. I highly recommend that your slides contain a heading as listed in the Critical Elements section of the rubric: Introduction: Goals or Introduction: Existing Process and so forth. Set up the slides and begin adding data. Strive to meet the Proficient column of the rubric to earn maximum points. Compare this column against the other two columns. Does your work contain all the items listed for each element?Please do not crowd the slides with text. Rule of thumb is to use no more than 9 lines of text per body of the slide. Go easy on use of graphics if you include them. There is no limit to the number of slides used, however, please stick as close to the minimum requirement as possible. Use bullets and then elaborate on the slide in further detail in the speaker notes. That’s right, be sure to include speaker notes! This is easy to do! Speaker notes appear below a slide. Speakers refer to them during live presentations to discuss their slides. These are not audible notes. “Google” speaker notes if needed.

Help me study for my Business class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

You are to select a firm that is experiencing significant economic, social, personal distress as a result of the fallout from COVID and the measures taken to combat it. You are writing as a managerial economics consultant with no way of predicting the course of the virus, how long it and restrictions on business activities will last, or what the economic climate will be like in the future. Begin by providing a BRIEF background and history of the firm and their place in the industry/economy they operate in. Historical information is to be short. More important is their current status – but not the most important. The firm you are consulting for knows its history and is primarily interested in learning about what they can do in the present and near future – this is where the great majority of your work should be.   Detail the challenges they face at present and may encounter in the days ahead. Frame these challenges in the context of the real risks and uncertainties being dealt with. With the goal of helping the firm to eventually reach a fully functioning and healthy, profitable state, you are to provide recommendations for what actions they should take to deal with these successfully.  This is the core of the project and where the majority of your efforts are to be directed. These actions should be practical, achievable and clearly stated – no fuzzy, feel good notions allowed. The material should be based on what you gain from sound industry/firm/economic/societal research and the application of a broad range of concepts and theories covered in this course, with more from economics and other relevant areas added at your discretion.
