FIN 620Capital Markets, Institutions and Long-Term FinancingMidterm Examination: Sessions 1-5Each question is worth 10 Points. Place your final answers on the first worksheet, then show your work to each problem on a separate worksheet.1.
This signature assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The signature assignments may be graded with an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for program improvements.
Purpose of Assignment: The purpose of this assignment is to allow the student an opportunity to apply their understanding of cash flow management, break-even analysis, and short-term and long-term financing in starting and growing a business. The assignment will be presented to the class giving the real world scenario of presenting a proposal to investors. Resources: OECD Database, Corporate Finance
Prepare a 15-slide PowerPoint® content presentation with speaker notes requesting initial funding of $500,000 to start and run a start-up company. The proposed start-up company could be an existing business model (coffee shop, pet store, etc.) or could be something entirely new and exciting.
Create the presentation in the following format, with at least one slide to cover each of the following areas:
Review the following scenarios and assumption, and explain how it impacts your decision to expand: Each should have its own slide just as above;
11. After Year 3, the investors are interested in your company expanding internationally to possibly outsource labor or to reduce manufacturing costs. What countries would you expand to first, and why? What factors would you need to consider in making this decision? Global Expansion: Labor/Mfg. Costs. Country?
12. What is the corporate tax rate in the countries you are considering expanding your business to, and how will that affect your decision to expand globally? (Use OECD Database or another resource to determine the corporate tax rate).13. The investors want to see a decision tree detailing the decisions you would make if you received $300K now and $200K at the end of three years instead of $500K up front.14. The investors would like your team to provide advantages and disadvantages of using debt financing versus selling company stock to raise capital for growth.15. Briefly explain the venture capital process. Does it make sense for your company to raise funds through venture capital?16. Academic and Business References 17. Feedback
Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines. You must present this assignment in class to earn full credit. Students who do not present will have a 50% reduction in grade.

1. During times of inflation, which of these inventory accounting methods is best for cash flow?a. FIFO, because the cheapest goods are recorded as being sold first, resulting in lower cost of goods sold and higher reported net income.b. LIFO, because the most expensive goods are recorded as being sold first, resulting in a higher cost of goods sold and a lower reported net income.c. Specific identification, because it correctly identifies the actual item sold and so the actual cost is recorded on the income statement.d. Weighted average, because it smoothes the reported cost of goods sold over time.e. It doesn’t matter which you use since cash flow is unaffected by the choice of inventory identification method.2. Which of the following is true of the Baumol model? Note that the optimal cash transfer amount is C*?a. If the fixed costs of selling securities or obtaining a loan (cost per transaction) increase by 20%, then C*will increase by 20%b. If the total amount of cash needed during the year increases by 20%, then C* will increase by 20%.c. If the average cash balance increases by 20%, then the total holding costs will increase by 20%.d. If the average cash balance increases by 20% the total transactions costs will increase by 20%.e. The optimal transfer amount is the same for all companies.
