First Stage: Sole Proprietorship

In the early stage of development, Troy Smith started Sonic as sole proprietorship. The advantage in this stage was that he was making all business decisions to himself. While the disadvantage was that he was not having help with things when needed thus causing his first ventures to fail

 

Second stage: Partnership

The advantage in this scenario was that Troy Smith is now having help with things like and he can focus his attention in improving the business operations while his partner focus primarily on sales. The greatest disadvantage now is that he has to share the profits of the business.  

 

Third stage: Franchise

The business can now continue to grow while maintaining all the same qualities the company was started with. The disadvantage would now be Troy Smith would have limited control over the success of that particular franchise.

An investor is considering two investment, an office building and bonds. He can only invest on of them. The possible return from
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in office building.

expected return:

$50,000 x 0.3 = $15,000

$60,000 x 0.2 = $12,000

$80,000 x 0.1 = $8,000

$10,000 x 0.3 = $3,000

<u>$0 x 0.1 = $0                      </u>

expected return = $38,000

$50,000 - $38,000 = -$12,000² = $144,000,000

$60,000 - $38,000 = -$22,000² = $484,000,000

$80,000 - $38,000 = -$42,000² = $1,764,000,000

$10,000 - $38,000 = -$28,000² = $784,000,000

<u>$0 - $38,000 = -$38,000² = $1,444,000,000         </u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.3 x $144,000,000) + (0.2 x $484,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,764,000,000) + (0.3 x $784,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,444,000,000) = $43,200,000 + $96,200,000 + $176,400,000 + $235,200,000 + $144,400,000 = $695,400,000

standard deviation = √$895,800,000 = $26,370

2) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in bonds.

expected return:

$30,000 x 0.4 = $12,000

<u>$40,000 x 0.6 = $24,000   </u>

expected return = $36,000

$30,000 - $36,000 = -$6,000² = $36,000,000

<u>$40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000² = $16,000,000</u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.4 x $36,000,000) + (0.6 x $16,000,000) = $14,400,000 + $9,600,000 = $24,000,000

standard deviation = √$24,000,000 = $4,899

3) Based on the expected return we should choose investing in a building, but if we consider the variance and the standard deviation of the investments, I would choose investing in bonds. The difference in expected returns is not that large (only $2,000) but the variance and standard deviations of investing in the office buildings is quite large, meaning that the risk is very high.

If a firm has a cost of equity of 15 percent, and the firm is 100 percent equity financed. The firm is contemplating a $150 mill
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

c. $166.67 million

Explanation:

cost of expansion = new equity issued / (1 - flotation costs)

cost of expansion = $150 million / (1 - 10%) = $150 million / 90% = $166.67 million

Flotation costs increase the cost of equity, since they are an expense that decreases the net amount of money received by a corporation when it issued new stocks or new bonds.
