    You are the Genesis Energy accountant and have taken a class recently in financing. You agree to prepare a PowerPoint presentation of approximately 68 minutes using the examples and information below:
    1.Debt: Jones Industries borrows $600000 for 10 years with an annual payment of $100000. What is the expected interest rate (cost of debt)?
    2.Internal common stock: Jones Industries has a beta of 1.39.
