In our chat we discussed capital budgeting and the goals of the firm – this ties in nicely with our last chat where we discussed stocks and bonds; this is how firms tap into capital markets to access external funds for capital projects.
Remember one of the goals of the manager is to maximize profit and we can achieve this by minimizing costs – we explored this when we discussed mortgages; lower interest rates reduce total interest payments, of course, and paying back loans quicker, although monthly payments are higher, reduces the total amount interest paid on the loan thereby reducing the overall cost of the loan.
Instructor's Comments: Keep a close eye on your TurnItIn Originality Verification Score, this should not exceed 25%, however, if you copy ¼ your discussion from the Internet, you can expect your work to be submitted to the University for investigation. In other words, even with a 25% score, if some of your work is copied from a source, you still may be sanctioned for plagiarism.
If your OV score does exceed 25%, please view your TurnItIn Report to ensure all work is original and is written entirely by you! You shouldn’t see a long string of words highlighted; this indicates it is verbatim from your source. You may go back and revise or repost your discussion to lower your score
I do not count your references in these scores, so if your use of references raises your score above 25%, this won’t be taken into account.
Remember plagiarism is defined as copying information and not writing ideas in your own words. All work is required to be written entirely by you!
