From the Paper:

"The primary conclusion is that Acme should not bankrupt itself in order to establish a foreign venture. Failing to capitalize on a foreign adventure that expends $500m could considerably harm the company and damage its stock value in terms of market capitalization. The recommendation is to take a mixed methodology approach by issuing company shares on the open market at 40% of the venture's cost which is $200k and utilizing institutional financing to fund the remaining 60% which is $300k. This provides Acme with options regarding further funding should the endeavor require further funding to reach profitability."
