1. Analyze Berkshire Instruments' capital structure, focusing on the current balance sheet and the provided historical cost data for debt and preferred stock. 2. Calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) based on using retained earnings in the capital structure, considering the historical costs of components (60% of financing). 3. Recompute the WACC based on using new common shares in the capital structure (keeping the weights the same) and determine the level of new financing at which this change occurs. 4. Use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to calculate the cost (required return) on common shares (equity). Assume Rf = 6%, = 1.25, and Rm = 13%. Compare this value to the cost of common equity calculated in question 2. 5. Generate your own PowerPoint presentation on the assigned topic. 6. Record your presentation using Zoom and provide the link for sharing. Please ensure the duration of your presentation falls within the range of 4 to 5 minutes (50% of the grade). 7. Attach your PowerPoint file (10% of the grade).

8. Attach your Word file showing your calculation and clear answer. (40%)

1. Review Berkshire Instruments' current capital structure, focusing on the balance sheet and the provided historical cost data for debt and preferred stock.

2. Calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) based on using retained earnings, making use of the historical cost data. Consider that common equity represents 60% of financing.

3. Recompute the WACC based on using new common shares in the capital structure while keeping the weights the same. Determine the level of new financing at which this change occurs.

4. Use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to compute the cost (required return) on common shares (equity). Apply the given parameters (Rf = 6%, = 1.25, Rm = 13%) and compare it to the cost of common equity calculated in question 2.

5. Create your own PowerPoint presentation on the assigned topic, following best practices for content, design, and delivery.

6. Record your presentation using Zoom by following the tutorial provided in the course materials.

7. Keep in mind that this assignment also assesses your ability to prepare for an online interview and express your opinions clearly and confidently.

8. Record your presentation using Zoom and provide the link for sharing, without attaching the file directly to this platform. For guidance on how to record your video using Zoom and share the link, refer to the
