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%.
Required:
What is the appropriate rate for use in discounting the free cash flows and the interest tax savings?

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.

<span>When a firm grants licenses internationally, it is giving foreign companies access to its trademarks, </span>technology and patents. Having your licenses and business become international is a huge gain for most businesses. When items go international, they have a larger market they can sell their products too, but there are also some risk to it as well. Allowing the foreign countries and companies to see how your products work inside and out benefit them while bringing in more profit to the international licensee.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The large round pizza with a 14 inch diameter

Explanation:

We can see this as a simple geometry problem. Which is the largest area? Two squares of 8 inches side or a 14 inch diameter circle? Let's see. The area of the square is side * side, in this case 8 * 8, so we have 64 squared inches  in each of the two pizzas. That makes a total of 128 squared inches (64 + 64) for the two small squared pizzas. Now to calculate the circle, we must do the following formula: \pi *r^{2} where r is the radium of the circle. The radium is half of the diameter, in this case 14/2=7. So the formula is 7^2, that is to say 49, multiplied by pi. This gives us approximately 153.93 squared inches, which is bigger than 128. A large round pizza with 14 inches of diameter gives more pizza.

We can also think that most people don't like the crust of the pizza. Two pizzas have more crust than one. So one pizza, besides being bigger, can save you to eat the crust and more cheese and sauce.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is b. de jure corporation.

Explanation:

A de jure corporation is a business that has fulfilled all the requirements mandated under the law of its state incorporation statute and has had limited liability protection granted to the corporation. De jure means "a matter of law," which validates the corporation as a legal entity.

It is created when steps are taken to incorporate, but not all of the statutes are in compliance. With a de facto corporation, it is not protected if the state challenges it in a "quo warranto" proceeding. It is protected against third parties.  

Courts can decide on a finding of de facto if three requirements are met by the corporation:

• A statute must be in existence that allows legal incorporation.

• The corporation has attempted to comply with the statute, which is considered a good faith effort.

• There has been actual use or the exercise of the corporate franchise.
