Problem:
Having previously identified the location of its greenfield investment, Acme, a multibillion dollar public MNE that is incorporated in the U.S.. must next obtain external financing for its proposed overseas production facility. It has been estimated that the acquisition will cost $500M and all funds will be secured in the U.S. My job is to explain to this committee some of the financial aspects of this acquisition.
Deliverable: At the next steering committee meeting, I will provide a detailed presentation of the characteristics of the various external financing alternatives, including the advantages and disadvantages of each. My report should conclude with a recommendation of which alternative (or combination of alternatives) should be used to finance the overseas investment. Please include references of links to go to.
