Interest rates and the cost of money influence most personal and corporate capital budgeting factors.
You are the CFO of a company. There is new robotic equipment you want to buy. Your net present value (NPV) study shows that the new equipment will add new free cash flows to the company above the discount rate used in your NPV study. However, you have noticed that the market i ndicates that the cost of capital is expected to drop in the future.
Would you, as the CFO, finance your projects as soon as possible if the cost of capital was expected to drop? Please explain.
What are the opportunity costs you must consider in this decision?
More importantly, where do you find the information to analyze expected changes in interest rates?
What other information does a drop in interest rates signal regarding the economy?
Your initial discussion post must include one outside resource, which may include the Internet or Library, and must be cited according to current APA formatting.

Financial Statements, Objectives and Strategies, and Ratios (25 points)
Financial statements (5 points): Manually input 3 years of financial statement data (income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements) for your companies into your Excel spreadsheet. These numbers will be found in the company’s most recent year-end annual reports. Use Excel formulas as much as possible in your spreadsheet design. Complete separate worksheets for each company, but all work should be in one Excel file.
Business objectives and impact on the financial statements (10 points): Briefly discuss the current goals and objectives of each company and how they could potentially impact the financial statements. The objectives and goals can usually be found in the annual reports under CEO comments and business summaries.
Relevant ratios and discussion (10 points): Briefly discuss 10 ratios you think are important to the analysis of your two companies. Make sure to include ratios from the different categories. In your Excel spreadsheet, create a worksheet that shows ratio formulas and calculates ratios for the two most recent fiscal years for each company (i.e., current ratio for fiscal year 01, year 02). You do not have to calculate the ratios yet, but you will be comparing the ratios of each company to industry averages in the final project deliverable (10 points).
Include APA in-text citations and a reference list of your sources or points will be deducted.
Written content should be completed in a separate Word document.
