Expert answer:cool coolcool

Solved by verified expert:This is a new company that needs capital to survive. Three possible sources are discussed . You will have to list and discuss in detail the pros and cons of each, and then rank them in order of preference from the owners’ perspective. Your case report should also address and answer these questions:What is Purinex’s business? How would you describe its strategy? What do you think are the founders’ goals and vision for the company?What is the source of Purinex’s value? What are the firm’s technologies, and how successful could they be? What is the likelihood of that success?What is the problem facing Purinex’s CFO Gilad Harpaz? What is the urgency associated with his concerns?How do Purinex’s financing alternatives compare? How would you rank them as sources of cash in terms of their risk and potential return for Purinex? How feasible and/or attractive would it be to finance the firm’s growth with an angel round or a venture capital (VC) round? How do you assess the option to wait?How would you structure the decision among these alternatives? Are there any qualitative considerations? How do you incorporate those into your analysis?How would you choose to finance the firm’s growth? Prepare to explain the effect of your proposal on the firm’s growth, strategic direction, and dilution in the founders’ equity interest.

Foreword
The half-decade from 2008 to 2013 forced a series of “teachable moments” into the consciousness of
leaders in both business and government. More such moments may be in the offing, given the unresolved
issues stemming from the global financial crisis. What lessons shall we draw from these moments? And
how shall we teach the lessons so that the next generation of leaders can implement wiser policies?
One theme implicit in most critiques and policy recommendations of this period entails the consequences of financial illiteracy. At few other times in financial history have we seen so strong an affirmation of Derek Bok’s famous argument, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” The
actions and behavior of consumers, investors, financial intermediaries, and regulators suggest ignorance
(naïve or otherwise) of such basic financial concepts as time value of money, risk-adjusted returns, cost
of capital, capital adequacy, solvency, optionality, capital market efficiency, and so on. If ignorance is
bliss, teachers of finance face a delirious world.
Now more than ever, the case method of teaching corporate finance is critical to meeting the
diverse educational challenges of our day. The cases presented in this volume address the richness of
the problems that practitioners face and help to develop the student in three critical areas:

Knowledge. The conceptual and computational building blocks of finance are the necessary foundation for professional competence. The cases in this volume afford solid practice with the breadth
and depth of this foundational knowledge. And they link the practical application of tools and concepts to a contextual setting for analysis. Such real-world linkage is an important advantage of case
studies over textbook problem sets.

Skills. Case studies demand decisions and recommendations. Too many analysts are content to
calculate or estimate without helping a decision-maker fully understand the implications of the
analysis. By placing the student in the position of the decision-maker, the case study promotes
confidence and competence in making decisions. Furthermore, class discussions of cases promote
skills in communication, selling and defending ideas, giving feedback, negotiating, and getting results through teamwork—these are social skills that are best learned in face-to-face engagement.

Attributes of character. Popular outrage over the crisis focused on shady ethics. The duty of agents,
diligence in the execution of professional responsibilities, breaches of trust, the temptations of selfdealing, and outright fraud intrude into retrospecti …
