Och, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.88 million at the end of the first y

ear, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt–equity ratio of .85, a cost of equity of 12.8 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 5.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +2 per cent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.
What is the maximum initial cost of company would be willing to pay for the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567.)

Answer:

22.14 billion

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the WACC where,

  • WACC = we x ke  + wd x kd x (1 - tax)
  • And Weight of Equity = E/(D+E) =  1 / 1.85 = 54%
  • The weight of debt = 1 - 54% = 46%
  • The cost of equity = 12.8%
  • the cost of debt = 5.6%
  • WACC = 54% * 12.8% + 46% x 5.6% = 9.49%

The WACC for the project will be 9.49 + 2 = 11.49% as the project is riskier.

As the after tax cash savings are expected to grow at a constant rate indefinitely, it is a perpetuity,

V of perpetuity = 1.88m / (11.49% - 3%) =$22.14

This (22.14) is the maximum that the company can invest as initial cost as at this initial investment, the present value of the project will be zero.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The Supreme Court ruled that the name Coke was so well known around the world, that it is effectively a common term for the trademarked Coca Cola. If other companies try to use similar terms like Koke for other types of products, e.g. bakery items, there is a risk that the Coca Cola company would be negatively affected by that product's image since consumers might associate Koke directly to Coca Cola.

It doesn't matter if the products were low quality or not, the courts cannot determine that, what matters is that the use of the term may negatively impact another company.

maw [93]

Answer:

Supply curve shifts to the left.

Explanation:

It is know that Florida is the biggest orange producer in America, when a hurricane rips through Florida, there is no change in demand, so the demand curve remains unaltered. As  for the supply curve, the hurricane is likely to destroy orange crops causing a shortage in supply which corresponds to a shift to the left by the supply curve.

The answer is: supply curve shifts to the left.
