Great Subs Inc., a regional sandwich chain, is considering purchasing a smaller chain, Eastern Pizza, which is currently finance

d using 20% debt at a cost of 8%. Great Subs’ analysts project that the merger will result in incremental free cash flows and interest tax savings of $2 million in Year 1, $4 million in Year 2, $5 million in Year 3, and $117 million in Year 4. (The Year 4 cash flow includes a horizon value of $107 million.) The acquisition would be made immediately, if it is to be undertaken. Eastern's pre-merger beta is 2.0, and its post-merger tax rate would be 34%. The risk-free rate is 8%, and the market risk premium is 4%.

Answer:

WACC 13.85600%

Explanation:

First we calculate Eastern Pizza CAPM:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.08

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.04

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 2

Ke= 0.08 + 2 (0.04)

Ke 0.16000

Then we solve for WACC

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.16000

Equity weight 0.8

Kd 0.08

Debt Weight 0.2

t 0.34

WACC = 0.16(0.8) + 0.08(1-0.34)(0.2)

WACC 13.85600%

The company will use the data on eastern Pizza to evualuate project presented to it. Also, it will  consider the new tax rate to determinate the tax shield.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Replace existing equipment with newer, more efficient equipment. Although this option entails substantial up-front investment, you’re sure that you can more than make up the difference in lower production costs.

Explanation:

The action that is likely to have the highest initial cost in terms of its impact on other parts of the organization is to replace existing equipment with newer, more efficient equipment. Although this option entails substantial up-front investment, you’re sure that you can more than make up the difference in lower production costs. This because buying new equipment will require a big investment from the company at the beginning to cover its costs but this will later generate more productivity and lower production costs which will compensate the initial high cost.

The other options are not right because buying slightly lower-grade materials, including hardwood, aluminum, vinyl, and nylon can decrease the cost at the beginning but the company can have problems with the quality of the products which could be really costly. Also, lay off a portion of your workforce and then try to motivate everyone who’s left to work harder and this option also means selecting future hires from a lower-skill labor pool and paying lower wages will decrease labor costs at the beginning but can require a big investment later with the costs of the process to hire new people, compensations to the employees that were laid off and can also result on low quality job and productivity from lower-skill labor.
