Financial Management Assignment 2019

Important: You must show all calculations and explain how you got all your answers. For example, suppose a question asks what the profit will be in a particular month and you put "$50,000". Even if this is correct you will receive no marks if you do not show how you got the answer. There is no need for footnotes or references unless quote from a reference. It is essential that the work is your own.

 Please do NOT include the question as part of your assignment. It is not necessary and all it does is increase your Turnitin similarity index. Just put your answers in your assignment response.
