Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Building relationships with suppliers and business partners.
Explanation:
For a manufacturing company that is interested to start businesses abroad, it is important to find out if the operations processes can be carried out at least under the same characteristics as in the country of the firm's origin. Managers must analyze if all the components of their <em>supply chain</em> are likely to be found in the new region. Besides, managers should look for <em>local business partnerships</em> that will help the association adapt to the new market easier.
Answer:
$50.47
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = - ($678 + $58 ) = -736
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $173
Cash flow in year 5 = $173 + $144
I = 8.1
NPV = 50.47
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
The range consistent with both sets would be $34.00 to $37.40. This includes the smallest value that is within both the P/E and EV/EBITDA ranges ($34) and the highest value within both ranges ($37.40)
Answer:
a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not change, what is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
ii. If the risk of the debt increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part (i)?
- If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.
Explanation:
common stock $200 million
total debt $100 million
required rate of return 15%
cost of debt 6%
current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million
if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12
if instead new debt is issued at 6%:
equity 150 million, debt 150 million
cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million
remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million
ROI = 27/150 = 18%
