Assume that Hogan Surgical Instruments Co. has $2,300,000 in assets. If it goes with a low-liquidity plan for the assets, it can earn a return of 16 percent, but with a high-liquidity plan, the return will be 12 percent. If the firm goes with a short-term financing plan, the financing costs on the $2,300,000 will be 8 percent, and with a long-term financing plan, the financing costs on the $2,300,000 will be 10 percent.
