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%

Smith is a CPA. His neighbor, Jones, asks him to prepare his tax return. Jones and Smith are casual friends. Smith prepares the
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Jones is liable to pay.

He is liable to pay to the tune of $1000. This may be negotiated however if it is not fair.

Explanation:

See the following points

  • The question above is an example of Implied At-law contracts. (We will get to the definition of this in a bit).
  • A contract is a legally binding agreement that recognises and governs the rights and duties of the parties to the agreement. A contract is legally enforceable because it meets the requirements and approval of<u> the Law</u>. From the above definition it is clear that two people may actually be engaging  in a contract without knowing it.
  • The law defines that a contract is.
  • Contracts may be Express or Implied.
  • Express contracts are simply contracts that are stated expressly, or openly, in either writing or orally, at the time of contract formation.
  • Implied contracts are created when two or more parties have no written contract.
  • There are two types of implied contracts:

  1. Implied In-Fact Contracts: these are contracts which create an obligation between the parties based on the facts of the situation. For example, assume your neighbor hires you to wash his car every Friday for the entire holidays. You wash your neighbor’s car for the first four weekends of the holidays and get paid on Friday morning each time. The fifth Friday you wash the car and when you arrive at your neighbor’s house for your pay, your neighbor refuses to pay you.                                           The law will infer that there is a contract between you and your neighbor, even though you never put anything in writing. This is an implied in-fact contract.

       2. The other type of Implied contract is that which is Implied At-Law

In the case between Jones and Smith, the law imposes a duty to perform a contract, and will enforce such a contract even against a person’s will, where the situation is such that without this legal intervention, one party would be <u>unfairly enriched</u> or advantaged by another party’s action.

  • In the question above, Smith is a CPA. He is qualified in every respect to carry out Professional Tax services. His services may be relied upon with a great degree of confidence.
  • If Jones had not filed those tax returns, he probably would have lost monies that should have accrued to him from the government.

This type of agreement is also considered a quasi-contract. A quasi-contract occurs where the law imposes an obligation upon the parties where in fact the parties did not intend to enter into a contract and made no promise to perform.

However, because one party would be unjustly enriched by another party’s action, the beneficiary of those actions must make restitution or pay fair value for the services provided, even though there was never any intention to enter into an agreement.

Cheers!

madreJ [45]

Answer: <em>Option (C) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

<em>A recurrent conclusion of injuries occurred while falling is a long-term pain, medication for these are not taken in consideration among  intermediate per-person costs of emergency cure for aged or old individuals's laceration from such falls</em>, if true, will have the tendency to seriously undermines conclusion of argument given in the comprehension.

This states that argument given in the comprehension has not taken in consideration cost for medicine which overall will increase cost. Thereby with an increase in cost the given statement will become untrue since the cost of surgery and medicine combined is higher than cost, in such a case treatment would be more economical. Therefore it undermines conclusion of argument.

What are sales forecasts?

A sales forecast is an indication of predicted sales revenue. What your business expects to sell during a specific time period is estimated by a sales forecast (like a quarter or year). The most accurate sales projections do this. By providing knowledge of the probable behavior of your most valued clients, sales forecasting aids in achieving this revenue efficiency. In addition to enhancing pricing, advertising, and product development, you may forecast future sales. The ability of your business to predict future revenues across particular time periods in order to better manage resources is one of the benefits of sales forecasting.
