Research Project (finance)

This part requires you to use your imagination, be creative; learning should be fun too!  Pretend I am a wealthy businessman with lots of current cash on hand (earning me no return, not a good thing) and you are starting a firm or have a current firm and are pitching a new project to have me invest. 

Step 1: Tell me about your firm/project briefly

Step 2: Tell me about you projections of your past/present/future sales, costs, ratios, income, OCFs, etc.

Step 3: Value your company/project to ask me for the money to undertake the project (i.e. think of 

appropriate discount rates due to risk, growth rates, etc.)

General rubric for project grading

(may vary slightly to match project type). You are a business 

major, when working on any project, pretend that this is a job, I am the “boss” of the assignment and I expect to be satisfied with the work that you submit to me.

1)   Did you do what I asked in entirety?

2)   Is the project clear and easy to understand?

3)   Conceptually, do you understand what you are doing?

4)   Layout: does it look nice, clean, easy to follow, and professional?
