Which one of the following has the greatest tendency to increase the percentage of debt included in the optimal capital structure of a firm? 

Short concept: The three questions are repeated from the previous set.  Pick any two out of the three from the choices below.  If you attempt all, I will grade only the first two.  Use this space to answer # 2 of your 2 choices. 1. What is total risk and what are the two components of total risk?  How can this risk be reduced?  When calculating the risk for a 2 or 3 stock portfolio, what are the statistical components you should take into account and why? OR 2.  When calculating the value of a firm for an acquisition of a target firm, what factors would you consider when determining the discount rate for calculating this value?

Extra or unnecessary code may result in a deduction of points. Think carefully about the minimum necessary implementation to meet these requirements. Method names do not have to reflect their behaviors. Make sure to select the ‘Preformatted’ style from the dropdown so your code is formatted clearly. DO NOT USE THE TAB KEY WHEN WRITING CODE AS YOU MAY ACCIDENTALLY SUBMIT YOUR EXAM.
