For the chief Financial officer (CFO) of a company, the procedure for determining where to inwest in a three-step process. The first step is finding the expected return on the securities or projects in which the firm may be interested. The second step in the determination of the firm's cost of capital. The final step is selecting those securities or projects whose expected return is greater than the firm's cost of capital. In reality neither of the first two steps precedes the other as the CFO may calculate the firm's cost of capital on an annual, a semi-annual, or even a quarterly hair, depending on changes in the capital markets. The calculated cost of capital may then be compared to the expected return of the various securities and capital projects available History of Ecut Bara cor ars (CC) was founded in 1976 by David 35 manufacturer of quality chocolate candy As with most food companies established in the United Kingdom in that period. Er started as a modest manufacturer of a single product that was sold locally. Later, if successful those firms expanded their sales efforts to regional, national, and sometimes even to international areas. ECoE Bars was one of the successful companies.

Harry followed the principles Iald down by his father, and in the next 10 years ce crew to a national firm with 500 million in sales. Although CE had purchased a confectionery candy firm, over 90 percent of the sales were from chocolate candy.

In 2010, when Harry's sun Barry became president of the family still owned all the shares of the form and the board of directors was made up untily of farruly members. However, in 2012 the company was forced into win public because of two circumstances. The first was the need to raise cash to pay estate taxes tollowing the death of Harry. The second came from the increasing awareness that the tirm needed to modernise its plants to compete with other food companies, which were slowly taking market share from FE with better quality candy products and higher profits from their automated, modern equipment. products and reducing By the early 2018 the firm had completed its modemisation, improving the quality of its However, the srident on the chocolate and confectionery business and its managers were beginning to realise that diversification into other lines of the food business might be necessary for E to survive in the increasingly competitive business environment. In addition, some family members were heginning to question the financial practices of the firm and the effects mode practices had om the share price. They noticed that throughout the 1990s, many of the oldline family food businesses were purchased by larger publicly held firms run by managers who were not majority shareholders of the firm More importantly they noticed that the returns on the shares sold seemed much higher than the returns they were receiving from their shares. During the carly 2010., EE did expand into the pasta business through the purchase of three trily owned lims and by 2018 hac 31 18 percent market share of the 1 billion UK pesta business.
