The valuation of the cat food business is based on cash flows of $180,500 per year over a five year period. The target business

has the same risk as the firm’s overall operations. The cost of equity is 15 percent and the cost of debt is 3 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm’s capital structure consists of 10 million in equity and 8 million in debt.

Answer: $690,044

Explanation:

First calculate WACC.

Total capital = 10 + 8 = $18 million

WACC = (Weight of debt * after-tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)

= (8/18 * 3%) + (10/18 * 15%)

= 9.67%

Using the WACC, find the present value of the cashflows for the next 5 years. This will be an annuity.

= 180,500 * (1 - (1 + r) ^-n)/r

= 180,500 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9.67%) ^ -5)/9.67%

= $690,044.67

= $690,044

They should pay no more than this present value.

Explain importance of office resources in points.​
xenn [34]

Answer:

A question is an utterance which typically functions as a request for information, which is expected to be provided in the form of an answer. Questions can thus be understood as a kind of illocutionary act in the field of pragmatics or as special kinds of propositions in frameworks of formal semantics such as alternative semantics or inquisitive semantics. Questions are often conflated with interrogatives, which are the grammatical forms typically used to achieve them. Rhetorical questions, for example, are interrogative in form but may not be considered true questions as they are not expected to be answered.
