Instructions for Homework #3 For this homework you will be reqired to find data that will allow to determine the Cost of Capital for Goof Computer Inc. For that purpose, you will be asked to find data for Dell. The Mini-Case is very specific on the sources of data you can use in order to find the data you need. In any case, in order to have a better idea on what data you need, Ileave data used in the answer key. This data is old data (February 2005). You are supposed to find more recent data. However, if you can't find data, you can use this data to answer the questions. But by doing so, you are limiting your grade to a maximum of 17/20. If you are using data different from the one I left, you should explicitly identify the date to which the data refers to. Not doing so puts you in the same position of the ones that used the data provided by me. Data for part#1: Here
Data for part#2: Here
Data for part#3: Here
