Introduction To Capital Budgeting/Investment Valuation

Mary Francis has just returned to her office after attending preliminary discussions with investment bankers. Her last meeting regarding the intended capital structure of Apix went well, and she calls you into her office to discuss the next steps.“We will need to determine the required return for our intended project so that we have a decision criteria defined for the project,” she says.“Do you have the information I need to describe capital structure and to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?” you ask.“I do,” she smiles. “We can determine the target WACC for Apix Printing Inc., given these assumptions,” she says as she hands you a piece of paper that says the following:

Weights of 40% debt and 60% common equity (no preferred equity)  

A 35% tax rate  

Cost of debt is 8%  

Beta of the company is 1.5  

Risk-free rate is 2%  

Return on the market is 11% 

The confession of NAT Turner and David walker

The main purpose of a response paper is to articulate and defend a well-reasoned (but perhaps not comprehensively argued) response to a piece of literature. What I want you to do in this case is to respond to the literature we have read so far, one or both of The Confessions of Nat Turner and David Walker’s Appeal. Think and write about what seems important to both authors thematically, perhaps thinking about the similarities and differences with which they describe or depict those themes. You can think about how specific characters or categories of individuals are depicted, how the setting is depicted, how the plot or argument is constructed, and what the implications are for these choices that the authors make. You can also write a bit about how the genres and situations differ or are similar for both of these authors. With any of these options you choose, you should include discussion of very specific passages and make sure to explain why that passage means what you say it does about your topic.

Use MLA format to cite in text and include a works cited entry for the texts you discuss. Include in-text citations anytime you point to either text. Please do not include any outside research or secondary sources for this assignment.

Pathopharmacological Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice

As an advanced practice nurse, it is important to diagnose, treat, and evaluate patients who have chronic disease. A nurse must understand how pathology, treatment, regimens, and psycho-social issues affect patients and the care they receive. Disease management is more than just monitoring a medication or treatment; it is evaluating the disease process from the micro to macro level. As a nurse with an advanced degree, you will be expected to assess patients and individual and population responses to chronic illness.
