Abstract

In this exercise, we examine the capital requirements of Terrapin Laboratory as they contemplate entering into a new market segment. The company is faced with two potential financing options which have different effects on the ownership structure of the company. Working through the implications of these two proposed transactions, you will then use your analysis to recommend a course of action to Terrapin's two senior executives.
