Answer 1

Answer:

- Financial​ institutions, such as investment​ banks, provide expertise in the acquisition of funds.

- The investment banking institution will allow the Gaga Enterprises CFO to raise more money at a lower cost per dollar raised

Explanation:

In the given scenario we want to compare help in raising capital using a financial institution versus raising it directly in the financial​ markets.

When raising capital using financial markets it is more expensive because the company will need to give out ownership rights in the company when they sell shares.

However when financial institutions provide the capital, there is a lower cost per dollar raised compared to sale of shares.

Also financial institutions act as financial advisors to their clients. So they will provide expertise in the acquisition of funds.
