Submit your investment funding proposal. Include your executive summary (critical element I) and a Q&A section (critical element VII), and combine those elements with the work you have completed in your milestones, which should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. Your final submission should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final project.

Company is Nordstrom, previous weeks assignments have been included. Rubric attached as well. The project is divided into three milestones prior to the final submission, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Four, Six, and Seven. The final submission will occur in Module Nine. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:  Assess the global microeconomic environment for determining the driving factors that affect business financial decisions  Develop financial models that project the impact of different business scenarios on financial performance and business planning  Assess decision alternatives by using time value of money (TVM) and other appropriate financial metrics  Evaluate the potential impact of internal and external qualitative factors on business activities for supporting strategic financial decisions  Weigh internal and external funding alternatives for carrying out investment decisions  Construct persuasive, evidence-based arguments that incorporate legal and ethical behavior and sound financial analysis for soliciting external business funding Prompt Imagine you are a manager working at a publicly traded company. (You will select a company from the list below.) You have been tasked with preparing an investment proposal for a large bank loan to finance a major expansion into another country. Your funding request will include both narrative text and financial models designed to clearly explain and justify the investment proposal, how it will be financed, and its likely impact on the company. As support, you will show the proposal’s most likely financial implications and the consolidated financial projection with and without the project. You should also consider risks—including global microeconomic factors outside the company that may affect the investment’s success in the targeted country—and describe alternative financial scenarios should sales exceed or underperform your assumptions. Your funding request should be well organized, clear, concise, and free of distracting errors. Because business executives seldom have perfect or complete information, you should base your proposal on data from authoritative sources when possible and make reasonable assumptions where information is not available. As in real life, however, you must clearly specify your assumptions. Your Investment Funding Proposal should be approximately 15-20 pages in length (excluding title page, table of contents, spreadsheets and other exhibits, and list of references). It should be double spaced with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. Use APA format for references and citations.
