Identify a place or situation in which you are a visible minority.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY , DO NOT PLAIGARIZE, I WILL CHECK THE PAPER, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEAS E LET ME KNOW! FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME AT ANY GIVEN TIME THANK YOU !

Given the right social conditions, anyone can be either part of the
majority or the minority. Your task this unit is to experience what it
is like to be a minority. Think of all the different visible social
groups to which you belong: gender, race and lifestyle are the most
obvious categories, but there are others (such as “hippy” versus “biker”
versus “preppy”).

Identify a place or situation in which you are a visible minority;
for example a man in a lingerie store or day spa, or a woman at a
classic car show or free weight room of the gym. Use your imagination!
Identify a situation in which you are definitely out of place and
everyone will know it. Once you have selected a situation, spend at
least 30 minutes as a minority in that environment. Unless
you feel you regularly experience being a minority and can clearly
explain one of those experiences, please don’t just imagine one from the
past but actually seek out a new situation where you will have the full
experience of being treated like and responded to as a minority. If
you’ve had the unfairness of experiencing that a lot in your life then
please describe that in detail to help educate the rest of your
classmates who have not had that experience.

Reflect on your experience. How did you feel? How did others react to
you? What stereotypes exist concerning your minority group? Did you
experience prejudice or discrimination? To what extent did your
experience reflect the research concerning stereotypes, prejudice and
discrimination?

Explain why you as the angel investor would require more or less debt versus equity financing.

The Angel Investor
In this assignment, you will be assessed based on the following Course Outcome:
MT480-6: Incorporate the combined attributes of debt and equity given a cost of capital model.
The concept of after-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a foundation when assessing cost of capital and investment options. The assignment will present the opportunity to assess a financing transaction and build upon your understanding of this cost of capital concept and demonstrate your ability to calculate the after-tax WACC.
Read the scenario and address the checklist items below.
Scenario: You are an angel investor who has been approached by an entrepreneur to assess an investment opportunity.
An entrepreneur asks for $100,000 to purchase a diagnostic machine for a healthcare facility. The entrepreneur hopes to maintain as much equity in the company as possible, yet as the angel investor, you require the transaction to be financed with 60% debt and 40% equity.
As the angel investor, you assign a cost of equity of 16% and a cost of debt at 9%. Based on Year 1 sales projections, the entrepreneur assures you a return on investment (ROI) of 9%; conceptually this will cover the first year’s pretax cost of debt and allow for planned equity growth and a refinancing model for Year 2. You will use an after-tax weighted average cost of capital (AT- WACC) model, which includes the after-tax cost of debt and proportionate costs of debt versus equity. A 35% marginal tax rate is applied.
Address the following checklist items:
Checklist:
Explain the tax benefits of debt financing.
Calculate the AT-WACC with a 60% debt and 40% equity financing structure.
Apply the calculated AT-WACC to explain why this is or is not a viable investment for you as the angel investor.
Explain a financial restructuring AT-WACC (given changes to proportions of % debt versus % equity financing) that would create a positive ROI.
Explain why you as the angel investor would require more or less debt versus equity financing. Be sure to note the role of the Unified Commercial Code-1 (UCC-1) document in this transaction and the order of claim on assets in times of a bankruptcy.
Include a strong thesis statement, introduction, and conclusion. The main points of the response should be developed and explained clearly with appropriate financial and accounting terminology.
