Our company will plan to finance our strategy principally through issuing stock and cash flows from operating activities generated from the company’s normal business functions.

Revised: August 28, 2002 In April 2001, Matt Heyman, co-founder of Cinemex, the largest chain of movie theaters in Mexico City, looked out the window of his office and pondered the future of his company. In just seven years, Heyman and his partners had nurtured Cinemex from a student idea into the largest theater chain in Mexico City, but they faced new challenges every day. Many of these challenges came from competitors. For years competitors ran old, poorly-maintained theaters, but in recent months they had begun to imitate Cinemex’s top-of-the-line exhibition venues. Their latest tactic: offering two tickets for the price of one on Wednesdays. Heyman wondered whether Cinemex should

In the early hours on May 26, 1995, a man standing at the end of the end woke the victim up. He allegedly grabbed her and put a knife to her throat. He then raped her. During the rape, the victim struggled to get up. She was able to get hold of a knife and she then stabbed him in the buttocks. He quickly left the room by going out the window, bleeding from his buttocks. After the crime had happened the police showed the woman a line up of pictures. She was showed two line-ups and she identified Allen Coco from the second line-up on June 20, 1995. Allen Coco’s appearance and the victim’s initial description were somewhat different. The woman described the perpetrator as wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt; the victim didn’t describe any tattoos or what race he was. Allen Coco has many tattoos and he didn’t have any evidence as to stab wounds or cuts on his buttocks when he was tested.

Shareholder’s equity would be lower than that shown in 1982 ($318,000) because the company has to pay off interest and principal for many loans. There will be little money left for shareholder’s equity.

The company lost money almost every year since its leveraged buyout by Coniston Partners in 1989. The income generated was not sufficient to service the interest expenses of the company which stood at $2.62B in 1996. From Exhibit 1, we can say that interest coverage ratio computed as EBIT / Interest Expense was 1.31 in 1989 and has been decreasing over years and currently stands at 0.59. This raises a question of how the company can meet its interest payments without raising cash or selling assets.

A foreign business opportunity we have chosen is a new enterprise that operates in the Latin America region, a tequila distillery that produce and supply different types of tequila to the consumers as well as the distribution channels. Tequila is one of the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage among the Latin America, rather is used in a mix drink cocktail or drink it as a shot, or as a whole bottle. There is an endless demand for them. Although there are many selections in the market for tequila, currently nothing standout in Southern America except a few originated from Mexico. The market share of tequila can become a good business opportunity to start a new company. Our tequila distillery will be operating in Chile where we can freely

After all of this we also need to keep in mind the financing deals that they have made with the Patricorp Group of $312,500 In for 41% of the equity, and $625,000 in subordinate debt. That was the previous debt that I talked about in the previous paragraph. As of the current revenues of the company, and considering the actual payments needed to pay they need to continue to grow the company to keep up and service the debt they will inquire. It is critical that they are successful with the growth, so that they do not fault on their agreement and have to give up more equity in the company so that they can retain ownership.

The course project involved developing a great depth of knowledge in analyzing capital structure, theories behind it, and its risks and issues. Before I began this assignment, I knew nothing but a few things about capital structure from previous unit weeks; however, it was not until this course’s final project that came along with opening
