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%

A firm incurs $400 to manufacture a television. In the market, customers are willing to pay a maximum of $600 for the television
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

D. Economic value created.    

Explanation:

The reason is that the economic value created is the difference between the price the customer is willing to pay and the cost that the product actually costs to the firm.

Following is the formula for calculation of economic value created:

Economic Value Created = Value customer willing to pay   -  Cost of product

Here the television costs $400 to the firm and the customer is willing to pay $600 for the television. So by putting the values we have:

Economic Value Created = $600 - $400 = $200

So the correct option is option D.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The ammount due at the end of the loan adds for $27,456

Explanation:

If the payment is in full at maturity, the man must pay the principal of 26,000 plus the interest during the period of 4 years.

It is important to notice that the loan is done at simple interest, so the interest does not capitalize.

Ammount$-due = 26,000 * (1 + 0.014 * 4) = 27,456

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Concentrated.

Explanation:

Four frequently used targeting strategies are the micromarketing, undifferentiated, differentiated, and concentrated targeting strategies. In micromarketing, we target each and every single customer individually which is also known as customization. In differentiated marketing, we try to differentiate our offerings and target particular market segment with it, whereas in undifferentiated which is also known as mass marketing, we target the whole market with one single offer. In concentrated marketing, we try to capture and target one small segment (niche) which has been ignored and overlooked by the competitors. The main aim here to sell profitably by meeting the needs of that small segment fully.
