Since the corporate cost of capital is used to make decisions today, which will affect the future cash flows, the only acceptable costs are today’s marginal costs that are used. These marginal values are the estimates of the cost of capital that will be raised in future which will provide an accurate estimation of raising the capital in future.…

    Big Sky Brew Case Study

    Big Sky Brewing Company was established in 1993 in Missoula, Montana. Neal Leathers, Bjorn Nabozney, and Brad Robinson were the founders. According to the Big Sky Brew website, Brad and Neal had been home brewers in Michigan since the mid 1980’s. They both moved to Missoula, Montana where they fell in love with the Bayern Brewing Company and were very impressed with their lagers. They met Bjorn at the sporting goods store that they temporarily worked at. Bjorn had found out that they were home brewers and wanted to try some. He thought it was so good that he gave them the idea to start up a small town brewing company just like Bayern, since he had his bachelor’s in finance he would take care of the business aspect of the business. From there the business was established and flourished along with some minor complications. Big Sky Brewing Company’s minor complications dealt with all the business aspects that are needed to help a company run well. Throughout this paper we plan to take a deeper look at the accounting, marketing, distribution, and operations management. While looking over those for important aspects of any business we will provide their strengths and weaknesses, and also solutions to those weaknesses. First of all, the accounting aspect of Big Sky Brewing Company could use some help. According to the Big Sky Brewery case study, one of the major problems in the accounting department is lack of information. All of the balance sheets, income statements, and cash-flow statements are very general. They don’t go into specifics as to what their liabilities are or what they assets are. If they were to get audited with this lack of information, they would face fines. For example, they just give a value of total depreciated assets. If the auditor wanted to look at how much each asset depreciated to make sure that they were giving a legitimatequantity. Big Sky Brewery would have to come up with those documents to avoid the heavy fines or problems that they would…

    Ameritrade's Cost of Capital Case Study

    One factor that is significant and pertinent to this case is determining the cost of capital that should be employed for Ameritrade. An appropriate discount rate is required to derive the net present value of the advertising program and technology upgrades. With that said, estimating future cash flows should be based on investing activities, which include the initial cash outlays, salvage values and net working capital, and operating activities, which include forecasted changes in revenues and costs after taxes and depreciation. Taxes will either reduce operating profit or result in a tax credit if the firm experiences an operating loss. The depreciation method used will affect the amount of taxable income. Determining the project life and inflation are also critical parts of the capital budgeting decision.…
