Mini Case
David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firm s level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies average about 30% debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use so much more debt and how it affects stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant.
a. Who were Modigliani and Miller (MM), and what assumptions are embedded in the MM and Miller models?
b. Assume that Firms U and L are in the same risk class and that both have EBIT =$500,000. Firm U uses no debt financing, and its cost of equity is r s U= 14%. Firm L has$1 million of debt outstanding at a cost of r d= 8%. There are no taxes. Assume that the MM assumptions hold.
1. Find V, S, r s, and WACC for Firms U and L.
2. Graph (a) the relationships between capital costs and leverage as measured by D/V and (b) the relationship between V and D.
c. Now assume that Firms L and U are both subject to a 40% corporate tax rate. Using the data given in Part b, repeat the analysis called for in b(1) and b(2) using assumptions from the MM model with taxes.
d. Suppose that Firms U and L are growing at a constant rate of 7% and that the investment in net operating assets required to support this growth is 10% of EBIT. Use the compressed adjusted present value (APV) model to estimate the value of U and L. Also estimate the levered cost of equity and the weighted average cost of capital.
e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is $250,000 but it is expected to grow unevenly over the next 3 years: FCF2= $290,000 and FCF3= $320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year1 is $80,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be $95,000, at Year 3 it will be $120,000, and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after
Define each of the following terms:
1. Interest tax shields; value of tax shield
2. Adjusted present value (APV) model
3. Compressed adjusted present value (CAPV) model
Modigliani and Miller assumed that firms do not grow. How does positive growth change their conclusions about the value of the levered firm and its cost of capital?

the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 40% and 14% respectively.
***The below information may help with answering question (a)***
The Modigliani and Miller Models
Recall from Chapter 15 that Modigliani and Miller (MM) developed a model of capital structure based on the assumption of zero growth (gL=0) and no risk of bankruptcy(bd=0). In addition, they assumed that the appropriate discount rate for the tax shield is rTS=rd. They made this assumption because the annual tax savings are proportional to the annual debt, which implies that the tax savings have the same risk as debt. MM examined two situations, one with no taxes

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving
In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioners and the disciplines body of knowledge.
Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.
In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.
To Prepare:

Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS INDICATED BELOW:
1). ZERO (0) PLAGIARISM
2). 5 REFERENCES, NO MORE THAN 5 YEARS
3). PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED RUBRIC

Enterprise Risk Management
The reading this week discusses strategy and how ERM can be integrated with an organizations overall strategy. Prepare a research paper on some of the various issues, protocols, methods, frameworks you found and discuss how if possible organizations can use ERM as strategy. It is perfectly acceptable if you deem ERM cannot be used as strategy, just back up your claim with scholarly research and justifications.
Your paper should meet these requirements:

Be approximately four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.
Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
