Recommendation of allocation of investment money

Recommendation of allocation of investment money

Executive Summary

The report recommends that AMPL invest $100,000 in Super Cheap Auto. The company is likely to grow and pay dividends and is a continuing investment. Pacific Brands would be a poor investment due to its current restructuring and large debt, and Harvey Norman has had a recent decrease in profits and has little working capital. Although a charitable donation would result in a large tax reduction, the outlay of the gift would be too large an amount to recoup from the marketing benefits of making a charitable donation.
