Part II
Answer:
The persons I would give the business plan to are:
- An angel investor who I met on LinkedIn who supports small businesses and start-ups
- My banker of over 20 years
- I would give the business plan to my family members because they are the easiest people to raise funds from and also because family, can decide to contribute in cash or in-kind with no interest required.
- I would give the business plan to an angel investor because their funds are cheaper than those of the banks though a little more difficult to come by
- Banks always have the funds but the funds come at a higher cost than the first two.

Answer:
Option D is correct.
Explanation:
Both company will have same Equity multiplier as total assets and equity are same of both companies. So Option A and B is incorrect.
Option C is also incorrect because there is no difference between the sales and total assets of both companies.
Option D is correct because the return on equity of the company LD is higher as the Net profit which is profit after interest and tax is higher than the profit after interest and tax of the company HD.
ROE = PAIT / Equity
Option E is wrong because when we say ROA is same this means that the operating income is same.
ROA = Operating profit / Total assets
Remember that the operating profit is earnings before interest and tax.

Answer:
c. The capital gain would be automatically re-invested at NAV if not taken in cash while the purchase of the shares would occur at POP including a sales charge.
Explanation:
An Asset appreciation doesn't in any way complete a breakpoint for a client. The client agreed to buy $50,000 of fund shares under a Letter of Intent to get a lower sales charge. If the customer doesn't deposit the full $50,000, then the sales charge is calculated to a higher percentage, which is based on the customer's purchase. The customer must deposit another $10,000 to complete the breakpoint.
If the customer were to take the capital gains distribution as cash and use that money to buy additional shares to complete the breakpoint, the customer would then have to pay a sales charge, which would be lower because the breakpoint is being completed. The customer must know that if the capital gains distribution were reinvested, it would occur at NAV and there would be no sales charge increase in sales charge. Whether the capital gain is taken as cash or it is reinvested, it is taxable.
