Apartments is a â€‹-unit apartment complex. When the apartments areâ€‹ 90% occupied, monthly operating costs total $220,040. Whe

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Missing word "Use the high-low method to determine operating cost equation y=$_____, x + $ = ____"

Cost on (800*90%)=720 units is 220,040

Cost on (800*80%) = 640 Units is 215,480

Variable cost per unit = Changes in total cost/High activity-low activity = 4560 / 80 = $57 per unit

Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost = 220,040 - (720*$57) = 220,040 - 41,040 = $179000

Cost equation:

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit

Y = 179000 + 57X

Y = 179000 + (57*440)

Y = $204,080

You are going to value Lauryn’s Doll Co. using the FCF model. After consulting various sources, you find that Lauryn's has a rep

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Value of the company is $140.70

Explanation:

We need first of all turn the equity beta from an unlevered to a levered beta with the below formula:

BU = BL / [1 + ((1 - Tax Rate) x Debt/Equity)]

BL=BU*[1 + ((1 - Tax Rate) x Debt/Equity)]

BU is levered beta

BL is the levered beta which is unknown

tax rate is 30% or 0.3

debt/equity =0.4

BU is 1.7

BL=1.7*[1 + ((1 - 0.3) x 0.4)

BL=1.7*(1+(0.7*0.4)

BL=1.7*(1+0.28)

BL=1.7*1.28

BL=2.176

Cost of equity=Rf+beta*market risk premium

Rf is the risk free rate of 6%

market risk premium is 11%

cost of equity=6%+2.176*11%

cost of equity=6%+23.94%

cost of equity =29.94%

In valuing the company the stock price formula below can be adapted

stock price=Do*(1+g)/(r-g)

Do is the dividend but can be replaced with a proxy free cash flow,since dividend per share is meant to compute price of one share,but FCF is to calculate the value of the entire company.

The free cash flow is computed below

FCF=EBIT*(1-t)+depreciation and amortization-capital expenditure-net increase in working capital

FCF=$56*(1-0.3)+$5.6-$5.3-$2.7

FCF=$36.8 million

g is the growth rate of FCF at 3%

r is the cost of equity of 29.94%

value of the company=$36.80*(1+3%)/(29.94%-3%)

value of the company=$36.80*1.03/0.2694

=$140.70
