Ashley Golden is a sole proprietor offering cooking classes for clients throughout the region. She is considering starting a syndicated television cooking show for one year. She estimates that she will need $500,000 to start this venture. She believes the television show will earn her $50,000 this year. Ashley can borrow money at 8 percent annual interest. If the venture is successful Ashley will expand her television show to a national audience. Should she use debt or equity financing for this one-year venture? Why?
