Due Monday Dec 4, Oct 26, 2017 Not all Infinite Numbers are Same The concept of infinite numbers emerged over a long period. Aristotle observed that although it is possible to subdivide the universe in infinite ways, the concept of infinity was unthinkable (Wildberger 1). The Greek mathematicians conceptualized infinity in terms of counting infinities, thus limiting their scope on the understanding of the entire concept. In 1600, Galileo observed that there could be an infinitely number of small gaps. However, it would not be possible to express whether one was smaller or larger to another.

In 1655, John Wallis introduced the symbol representing infinity (Wildberger 2). In 1874, George Cantor developed a deeper conceptualization of infinity. According to Cantor, it would be possible to add or even subtract infinities. In addition, some infinities were large than others. Cantor studied functions that had a Fourier series convergence (Wildberger 2).

Cantor proved that the trigonometric series =0 converges to zero at all points except where there exists a finite derived. For the finite k, then == 0, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, …. Many ancient cultures have ideas about infinite, but most of them defined the infinite as a philosophical concept instead of mathematics concepts. The symbol did not exist until 17th century when John Wallis introduced it in 1655 (Cajori 44). John Wallis wanted to divide a region into infinitesimal strips, and each strip is.

That is why mathematicians need the infinite numbers. They need an arbitrary large number for some certain situation. Given a large number , there must be a larger number L+1 exists (Cajori 46). To move forward for a single step, if mathematicians take L+1 as the new large number, there also be a large number L+2 exist. In this way, no one could express the largest number.

To express ‘large number’, the notation and definition of infinite were invented. However, a new question will be elicited: whether all infinite numbers are same. It is hard to image and convince other people without using mathematical proof. Many infinite numbers are related to limit. Expression (1) and expression (2) are two limits and their values are all infinite, If we just compare their result, the two positive infinites, seem to be same.

However, expression (2) could be rewritten as Obviously, when we know . Thus, it is enough to say although . So, infinite numbers may not have to be same to each other. Some are relatively larger, and some are relatively smaller, even though all of them are denoted by the same notation . In other words, infinite numbers,, represent a tendency of increasing and never decrease.

Just like , as n increase toward positive direction, the value of the expression will increase. Similarly, in , the will also increase as n increase toward being large. However, the difference from is the value of increase faster than the value of . Although mathematicians cannot express their value by an exact number, they are not same number. The infinite numbers are numbers that is larger than a certain boundary (likes a supremum).

If a number inside the boundary, we could express it in a normal way, such as for r and q are natural numbers. In addition, we could consider the infinite in another way. is the set of natural numbers and is the set of real numbers. is a proper sub-set of , so the cardinal number of is larger than cardinal number of . However, if considering and respectively. Both and have infinite elements. If comparing the result, the cardinal number of should be equal to cardinal number of .

But it does not. Thus, infinite,, does not means a certain number, it represents some very large number. As such, not all infinite numbers are same. There exist different levels of infinity. We can deduce the existence of these levels by making comparisons of infinite sets, an idea developed by Georg Cantor (Wildberger 3).

The actual method involves comparing sets of integers and natural numbers. It is possible to develop a method of comparing a specific integer to a natural number by making use of the negative and positive integers. The following table (Table 1) shows the one-to-one comparisons of the set of integers and natural numbers. Table 1. Integers Natural The natural numbers represent subsets of integers.

Since this is one-to-one mapping, the two sets are equal or have the same size. As such, the set of natural numbers and integers is a countably infinite set. When we look at real numbers such as , they give a recurring set of decimals when divided, that is 1.333…. This is the same with Ï€. It is impossible to develop a correspondence like the one above between integers and natural numbers for the real numbers.

In a real-world analogy, if we ask an average person to describe the wealth of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, he or she may just say billions of dollars instead of $86B and $75.6B. Why? Because whatever $86B or $75.6B, both numbers are too far from an average person, he or she just thinks there is no difference for her or him. Thus, he or she just termed $86B and $75.6B as billions of dollars, because $86B and $75.6B are higher than his or her boundary. However, $86B and $75.6B are not same.

Similarly, in mathematical number system, some numbers are too large for us to describe and we denote them as infinite, but they are not same. In summary, infinite numbers are same as normal numbers. The small difference is that we just denote their value by the symbol . In my understanding, the symbol just means their value are above our expression ability and does not mean their value are same. As Cantor asserts, infinities are not equal; some infinities are larger than others are.

While the integers and the natural numbers give a countably indefinite set, the real numbers give an uncountable indefinite set as shown by Cantor. The proof by diagonal clearly shows that infinities are not equal. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that it is not possible to express infinities in specific values. Reference (1) Cajori, Florian.

Slide 1: Title Slide
- Title: Understanding Debt and Equity Financing
- Subtitle: An Analysis of Cost of Capital
- Presented by: [Your Name]
Speaker Notes: Welcome and thank you for joining the presentation. Today, we will explore the essential aspects of debt and equity financing, particularly focusing on how to analyze the cost of capital.
---
Slide 2: Introduction
- Definition of Debt Financing
- Definition of Equity Financing
- Importance of Analyzing Cost of Capital
Speaker Notes: Debt financing refers to borrowing funds that must be paid back with interest, while equity financing involves raising capital through the sale of shares. Understanding these financing options is crucial for evaluating a firm's financial health and investment potential (Brealey, Myers, & Allen, 2017).
---
Slide 3: Cost of Debt
- Definition of Cost of Debt
- Importance of Knowing the Cost of Debt
Speaker Notes: The cost of debt is the effective rate that a company pays to its lenders for borrowed funds. It is vital for calculating the overall cost of capital since it influences investment decisions and the valuation of a firm (Damodaran, 2012).
---
Slide 4: Calculation of Cost of Debt (Example)
- Jones Industries borrows 0,000 for 10 years with annual payments of 0,000.
- Calculation of Expected Interest Rate
Speaker Notes: To calculate the expected interest rate (cost of debt), we note that Jones Industries is making annual payments of 0,000 on a loan of 0,000. We can use the loan amortization formula or Excel iterations to find the interest rate. For this case, the annual payment challenges the conventional understanding of calculating interest rates.
Calculation:
Using Excel’s PMT function, we can determine the interest rate (i) using 600,000 as present value (PV), 100,000 as payment (PMT), and 10 as periods (n):
= RATE(10, -100000, 600000)
The expected interest rate calculates to about 8.23%.
---
Slide 5: Cost of Equity
- Definition of Cost of Equity
- Importance of Knowing the Cost of Equity
Speaker Notes: The cost of equity is the return that equity investors expect on their investment in the firm. It reflects the risk associated with holding the company's stock and is an integral component of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) calculation (Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2013).
---
Slide 6: Calculation of Cost of Equity (Example)
- Given:
- Beta (β) of Jones Industries = 1.39
- Risk-Free Rate (Rf) = 3%
- Expected Market Return (Rm) = 12%
- Formula: Cost of Equity = Rf + β * (Rm - Rf)
Speaker Notes: To calculate the expected rate of return on Jones's stock, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):
Cost of Equity = 3% + 1.39 * (12% - 3%)
Cost of Equity = 3% + 1.39 * 9%
Cost of Equity = 3% + 12.51% = 15.51%

- Long-term Debt: 0,000
- Common Internal Stock Equity: 0,000
- New Common Stock Equity: ,000,000
Speaker Notes: Understanding the company's capital structure helps to analyze its financial stability. Jones Industries has a balanced mix of debt and equity, which plays a pivotal role in its operational strategy (Modigliani & Miller, 1958).

Slide 8: Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
- WACC = (E/V) Re + (D/V) Rd * (1 - T)
- Breakdown of Variables:
- E = Market value of equity
- D = Market value of debt
- V = Total market value (E + D)
- Re = Cost of equity
- Rd = Cost of debt
- T = Tax rate (assume tax rate is 0% for simplicity)
Speaker Notes: The WACC is the average rate that a company is expected to pay to finance its assets. Since we assume a tax rate of 0% for this example, the formula simplifies, but in reality, the tax deductibility of interest can reduce the effective cost of debt (Horngren et al., 2013).

Slide 9: Example of WACC Calculation
- Given values:
- E = ,400,000 (400,000 + 1,000,000)
- D = 0,000
- V =

Debt And Equitythe Manager Of Sensible Essentials Conducted An Excelle

Debt and Equity The manager of Sensible Essentials conducted an excellent seminar explaining debt and equity financing and how firms should analyze their cost of capital. Nevertheless, the guidelines failed to fully demonstrate the essence of the cost of debt and equity, which is the required rate of return expected by suppliers of funds. You are the Genesis Energy accountant and have taken a class recently in financing. You agree to prepare a PowerPoint presentation of approximately 6–8 minutes using the examples and information below: 1. Debt: Jones Industries borrows $600,000 for 10 years with an annual payment of $100,000.

What is the expected interest rate (cost of debt)? 2. Internal common stock: Jones Industries has a beta of 1.39. The risk-free rate as measured by the rate on short-term US Treasury bill is 3 percent, and the expected return on the overall market is 12 percent. Determine the expected rate of return on Jones’s stock (cost of equity).

Here are the details: Jones Total Assets $2,000,000 Long- & short-term debt $600,000 Common internal stock equity $400,000 New common stock equity $1,000,000 Total liabilities & equity $2,000,000 Develop a 10–12-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Perform your calculations in an Excel spreadsheet. Cut and paste the calculations into your presentation. Include speaker’s notes to explain each point in detail.

Due Monday Dec 4, Oct 26, 2017 Not all Infinite Numbers are Same The concept of infinite numbers emerged over a long period. Aristotle observed that although it is possible to subdivide the universe in infinite ways, the concept of infinity was unthinkable (Wildberger 1). The Greek mathematicians conceptualized infinity in terms of counting infinities, thus limiting their scope on the understanding of the entire concept. In 1600, Galileo observed that there could be an infinitely number of small gaps. However, it would not be possible to express whether one was smaller or larger to another.

In 1655, John Wallis introduced the symbol representing infinity (Wildberger 2). In 1874, George Cantor developed a deeper conceptualization of infinity. According to Cantor, it would be possible to add or even subtract infinities. In addition, some infinities were large than others. Cantor studied functions that had a Fourier series convergence (Wildberger 2).

Cantor proved that the trigonometric series =0 converges to zero at all points except where there exists a finite derived. For the finite k, then == 0, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, …. Many ancient cultures have ideas about infinite, but most of them defined the infinite as a philosophical concept instead of mathematics concepts. The symbol did not exist until 17th century when John Wallis introduced it in 1655 (Cajori 44). John Wallis wanted to divide a region into infinitesimal strips, and each strip is.

That is why mathematicians need the infinite numbers. They need an arbitrary large number for some certain situation. Given a large number , there must be a larger number L+1 exists (Cajori 46). To move forward for a single step, if mathematicians take L+1 as the new large number, there also be a large number L+2 exist. In this way, no one could express the largest number.

To express ‘large number’, the notation and definition of infinite were invented. However, a new question will be elicited: whether all infinite numbers are same. It is hard to image and convince other people without using mathematical proof. Many infinite numbers are related to limit. Expression (1) and expression (2) are two limits and their values are all infinite, If we just compare their result, the two positive infinites, seem to be same.

However, expression (2) could be rewritten as Obviously, when we know . Thus, it is enough to say although . So, infinite numbers may not have to be same to each other. Some are relatively larger, and some are relatively smaller, even though all of them are denoted by the same notation . In other words, infinite numbers,, represent a tendency of increasing and never decrease.

Just like , as n increase toward positive direction, the value of the expression will increase. Similarly, in , the will also increase as n increase toward being large. However, the difference from is the value of increase faster than the value of . Although mathematicians cannot express their value by an exact number, they are not same number. The infinite numbers are numbers that is larger than a certain boundary (likes a supremum).

If a number inside the boundary, we could express it in a normal way, such as for r and q are natural numbers. In addition, we could consider the infinite in another way. is the set of natural numbers and is the set of real numbers. is a proper sub-set of , so the cardinal number of is larger than cardinal number of . However, if considering and respectively. Both and have infinite elements. If comparing the result, the cardinal number of should be equal to cardinal number of .

But it does not. Thus, infinite,, does not means a certain number, it represents some very large number. As such, not all infinite numbers are same. There exist different levels of infinity. We can deduce the existence of these levels by making comparisons of infinite sets, an idea developed by Georg Cantor (Wildberger 3).

The actual method involves comparing sets of integers and natural numbers. It is possible to develop a method of comparing a specific integer to a natural number by making use of the negative and positive integers. The following table (Table 1) shows the one-to-one comparisons of the set of integers and natural numbers. Table 1. Integers Natural The natural numbers represent subsets of integers.

Since this is one-to-one mapping, the two sets are equal or have the same size. As such, the set of natural numbers and integers is a countably infinite set. When we look at real numbers such as , they give a recurring set of decimals when divided, that is 1.333…. This is the same with Ï€. It is impossible to develop a correspondence like the one above between integers and natural numbers for the real numbers.

In a real-world analogy, if we ask an average person to describe the wealth of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, he or she may just say billions of dollars instead of $86B and $75.6B. Why? Because whatever $86B or $75.6B, both numbers are too far from an average person, he or she just thinks there is no difference for her or him. Thus, he or she just termed $86B and $75.6B as billions of dollars, because $86B and $75.6B are higher than his or her boundary. However, $86B and $75.6B are not same.

Similarly, in mathematical number system, some numbers are too large for us to describe and we denote them as infinite, but they are not same. In summary, infinite numbers are same as normal numbers. The small difference is that we just denote their value by the symbol . In my understanding, the symbol just means their value are above our expression ability and does not mean their value are same. As Cantor asserts, infinities are not equal; some infinities are larger than others are.

While the integers and the natural numbers give a countably indefinite set, the real numbers give an uncountable indefinite set as shown by Cantor. The proof by diagonal clearly shows that infinities are not equal. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that it is not possible to express infinities in specific values. Reference (1) Cajori, Florian.

- Rd = 8.23%
- Re = 15.51%
Calculate WACC:
\[ WACC = \left(\frac{E}{V}\right) Re + \left(\frac{D}{V}\right) Rd \]
\[ WACC = \left(\frac{1,400,000}{2,000,000}\right) 15.51\% + \left(\frac{600,000}{2,000,000}\right) 8.23\% \]
Speaker Notes: By plugging in our values, the WACC would provide the hurdle rate for new investments and is used as the discount rate for valuing future cash flows (Koller et al., 2015).
