Sommer, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $2.3 million at the end of the first

year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .60, a cost of equity of 10 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.
Required:

To pay for investment advice from financial consultants Smith and Jones, Tony signs a check payable to "Smith or Jones." A prope
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, a proper indorsement of the check would be to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones. That is because a check needs to be as specific as possible and cannot have various options. The check needs to be made to a single specific individual and if it is for more than one individual then both need to be included as a requirement (and). Making it so that both recipients must cash the check together for it to be accepted.
