Lifted Imagery is UAV-based aerial media provider targeting the needs of the real estate marketplace. Starting the business will require capital to purchase the UAV itself and further accessories such as batteries and other equipment. There will also be expenses for a camera and then future upgrades as the technology changes rapidly. There will also be further business operation expenses, but the initial capital required is for the development of the UAV itself. There are various methods that Lifted Imagery can employ to gather the funding necessary to get the Lifted Imagery off the ground.
Lifted Imagery has already reached an agreement with the brokerage, The Golden Group, based in Golden. The agreement that was made was one similar to equity capital. The Golden Group has loaned Lifted Imagery $10,000 to pay for a majority of the initial investment required to buy the UAV. The loan is paid back monthly over the course of 3 years with zero percent interest. In exchange of the capital The Golden Group is entitled to 15% of the business profits paid out quarterly for 6 years. They also receive a 40% discount on any aerial services provided by Lifted Imagery. The arrangement went into effect as of July of 2013. This arrangement did cover the initial costs of the UAV, but does not accommodate any sort of expansion. Lifted Imagery will need to create further arrangements to expand the business and upgrade the UAV.
Since Lifted Imagery already has an equity capital arrangement, it is not desirable to give up any further equity. This rules out the potential of further investor, venture capitalists or an IPO. Also, Lifted Imagery is an LLC making an IPO impossible in the current structure. The operations of the company would also be t...

·The proposed band would raise $10 million through a public stock offering. The Treasury would hold one fifth of the stock and name one fifth of the directors, but four fifths of the control would fall to private hands. Private investors could purchase shares by paying for three quarters of their value in government bonds. In this way, the bank would capture a significant portion of the recently funded debt and make it available for loans; it would also receive a substantial and steady flow of interest payments for the Treasury. Anyone buying shares under these circumstances had little chance of loosing money.
From 2010 to 2011 there has been a 23.8% increase in gross fixed assets value. The raised funds through long term debts would have been used to enhance assets base of Speedster.

In Ishmael Beah’s memoir A Long Way Gone, Beah’s imagery represents the struggle and misery of the Sierra Leone people are going through with the rebels invading. To begin, after Beah spends two days straight walking he arrives at a village that has already been condemned by the rebels. In the village Beah sees dead bodies everywhere, which fills his mind with the gruesome ways of death the men and woman suffered through: “I had seen heads cut off by machetes; smashed by cement bricks, and rivers filled with so much blood that the water ceased flowing… my body twitched with fear”(49). During this event Beah could not get these gruesome images out of his mind. Beah tries closing his eyes trying to hide away his vision to help the thoughts leave.
In 1996, Jim Wagner was hired as chief financial officer and was able to successfully achieve steady profitability for the company. One year later, in 1997, in an attempt to source its strategic investments, Natureview organized an equity infusion from a venture capital firm; however, the venture capital now needs to cash out of its investment in Natureview and management will therefore need to find another investor or position itself for acquisition. In order to attain the maximum potential valuation, the company must make strategic marketing choices in an attempt to increase revenues to $20 million before the end of year 2001. And to meet this lofty goal, Natureview can potentially enter a new market and transition from the natural food channel into the supermarket channel, a move that would signify a dramatic departure from the company’s present cha...

The use of imagery in a short story has a great deal of effect on the impact of the story.

The another pro is that they will soon democratize internet access. "More than half the global population lacks Internet access, but with its purchase of Titan Aerospace in April, Google could bring millions more online. According to an early report, "once the tech is dialed in, Titan’s 164-foot-wide solar-powered craft will soar at 65,000 feet, bringing new parts of the world online." With the use of drones helping boost Wireless Fiber optics (WiFi) capability it bring better education to countries that lack in it."
It is my recommendation that Barra Airways goes ahead with the project. I believe this is the case because the project is predicted to a high NPV coupled with strong cash flows. The method of financing I am recommending that Barra Airways uses is to issue more equity. This is primarily due to the confidence the market currently has in low-cost airlines. This will not only achieve the best value for the company but will also maximise the shareholder value of the project. The secondary reason behind the decision to use equity as the source of the projects finance is protecting the company against future debt repayments. If the cash flows prove to be unreliable then the company could find itself paying a higher than expected proportion of operating profit on paying its debts.
