assume the following scenario:

Beverly Hospital (in Montebello, California) is preparing for its strategic planning session with the Board, executive team, and key departmental leaders of which you are one. Based on what you now know about sources of financing, consider what you will say when the CFO and other leaders promote the increased use of debt financing. In general, what are the benefits and risks involved? Are there specific advantages or concerns for your chosen facility?

Discuss with your peers what you would bring to a discussion with the CFO and finance team. Include in your analysis at least three references from supportive literature pertaining to this topic to help frame your thoughts related to the cost of capital and capital structure. Your discussion should use examples and draw from professional experiences where possible. Critical thought and concise discussion are required.
