A regional restaurant chain, CoCo's, is considering purchasing a smaller chain, AJ's, which is currently financed using 20% debt

at a cost of 8%. CoCo's 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. AJ'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%. What is the appropriate rate for use in discounting the free cash flows and the interest tax savings

Answer:

13.856%

Explanation:

For computing the discounting rate we have to find out the weightage average cost of capital but before that first we have to determine the cost of equity and the after tax cost of debt which is shown below:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 8% + 2 × 4%

= 16%

And, the after cost of debt is

= Cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 8% × (1 - 0.34)

= 5.28%

Now the weighted cost of capital is

= Cost of debt × weighted of debt + cost of equity × weighted of equity

= 5.28% × 20% + 16% × 80%

= 1.056% + 12.8%

= 13.856%

trapecia [35]

Answer:

people care more about their own surplus than they do about total surplus. 

Explanation:

Price control can either be a price ceiling or a price floor.

A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service. It is usually set below equilibrium price.

Price ceiling increase consumer surplus and reduce producer surplus.

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the least price a good or service can be sold. It is usually set above equilibrium price.

Price floor increases producer surplus and reduces consumer surplus.

Producers would be advocating for a price floor because it increases their surplus, while, consumers would advocate for a price ceiling.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product.

Lunchco Inc. produces picnic tables in a two-step process. Pretreated wood is cut in the Cutting Department and then the lumber
babunello [35]

Answer: company’s direct labor budget = $320000

Explanation:

Given that,

Standard hourly labor rate in the Cutting Department = $12

It takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to cut the lumber

Tables take one hour to assemble

Standard hourly rate in the Assembly Department = $10

Lunchco’s production budget = 20,000

Cutting Department =  production budget × direct labor time × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 0.5 hours/unit × $12/unit

= $120000

Assembly Department = production budget × Tables take one hour to assemble  × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 1 hour/unit × $10/unit

= $200000

Therefore,

company’s direct labor budget = Assembly Department + Cutting Department

= 200000 + 120000

= $320000
