I need someone to review and check my paper (It is an essay about a visit to a fast food restaurant)

Must check grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, word choice, idea flow and logic.

I need it done in couple hours. It is a document with only 800 words.

Thank you,

Inflation and Government Economic Policies

Inflation is a measure of how prices have changed over time.  If prices are changing due to inflation, each dollar spent will buy less.
In order to answer the questions below, go to the following website: http://www.bls.gov/cpi/

Questions:

1.  What is inflation? What are the causes of inflation?  Is inflation desirable and what can be done to control inflation in a market economy?
2. What is the Consumer Price Index (CPI)?  How has the CPI behaved since the year 2000?  What have been the causes of these changes? In your response, include a graph of the CPI for this period and cite your source.
3. What is the Producer Price Index (PPI)?  How has the PPI behaved since the year 2000?  What have been the causes of these changes? In your response, include a graph of the PPI for this period and cite your source.
4. What is the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE)?  How has the Survey behaved since the year 2000?  What have been the causes of these changes? In your response, include a graph of the CE for this period and cite your source.
5. What do the measures above tell us about consumer behavior?  Have incomes changed enough to offset the inflation since 2000?  What can we predict about future inflation?
6. What are the implications of these measures for government economic policies?

Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday, and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.

Your next assignment as a financial management intern is to apply the knowledge that you acquired while engaging in the cost of capital discussion that you had with your colleagues. In this task, you will be calculating the weighted cost of capital for a firm using the book value of the components and the concepts presented in this phase.

Using the most current annual financial statements from the company you analyzed in Phase 1, determine the percentage of the firm’s assets that are currently be financed with debt (total liabilities), preferred stock, and common stock (common equity). It is very possible that your firm will have very little or no preferred stock, so in this class, the percent would be “zero.” Your ratios should add up to 100%. You will also need to calculate the firm’s average tax rate using the income tax expense divided by the firm’s income before taxes. Use the following tables:

Company	Total Assets	Total Liabilities	Total Preferred Stock	Total Common Equity
Dollar Value
% of Assets

 

Company	Income before Tax	Income Tax Expense	Average Tax Rate (%)

 

The first component to determine is the cost of debt. You mentor suggests using the Web site that you used in the previous Phase to find the pretax yield-to-maturity of a bond with at least 5 years left before maturity. Using the following table, calculate the firm’s after-tax cost of debt:

Yield to Maturity	1 – Average Tax Rate	After-tax Cost of Debt

 

Now you will need to calculate the cost of preferred stock. You can use the following table:

Annual Dividend	Current Value of Preferred Stock	Cost of Preferred Stock (%)

 

To calculate the cost of common equity, you can use the CAPM model. Using current stock data, the yield on the 5-year treasury bond, and the return on the market calculated in Phase 2, you can calculate the cost of common equity using the following table:

5-year Treasury Bond Yield (risk-free rate)	Stock’s Beta	Return on the Top 500 Stocks (market return)	Cost of Common Equity

 

Now, you can use the cost and ratios from above to calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using the following table:

	After-Tax Cost of Debt	Cost of Preferred Stock	Cost of Common Equity	WACC
Unweighted Cost
Weight of Component
Weighted Cost of Component

 

• After completing the required calculations, explain your results in a Word document, and attach the spreadsheet showing your work. Be sure to explain the following:
  • How would you expect the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to differ if you had used market values of equity rather than the book value of equity, and why?
  • What would you expect would happen to the cost of equity if you had to raise it by selling new equity, and why?
  • If the after-tax cost of debt is always less expensive than equity, why don’t firms use more debt and less equity?
  • What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of raising capital by using debt?
  • How would “floatation costs” impacted the WACC, and how could they have been incorporated in the formula?

Note: You can find information about the top 500 stocks at this Web site.

Write a two to three page paper that is formatted in APA style and according to the Math Writing Guide. Format your math work as shown in the example and be concise in your reasoning. In the body of your essay, please make sure to include: An answer to the three questions asked about given real-world situation. An application of the given situation to the following two scenarios: The Burbank Buy More store is going to make an order which will include at most 60 refrigerators. What is the maximum number of TVs which could also be delivered on the same 18-wheeler? Describe the restrictions this would add to the existing graph. The next day, the Burbank Buy More decides they will have a television sale so they change their order to include at least 200 TVs. What is the maximum number of refrigerators which could also be delivered in the same truck? Describe the restrictions this would add to the original graph. An incorporation of the following math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math work.): Solid line Dashed line Parallel Linear inequality Test point
