    Rough Water Case

    We are writing to you regarding the inquiry we received over the possible impairment of your cruise ship. Our response was formulated using our extensive knowledge of the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and referring to ASC 360-10 over the testing of impairment. After preforming recoverability tests, we have concluded that your cruise ship is impaired, and an impairment loss of $1.6 million should be recorded on December 31, 2010. In the second scenario, the asset is recoverable because the expected future cash flows are greater than the carrying value; therefore, the cruise ship is not impaired. The rest of this memo will describe how we calculated the impairment on your cruise ship.…

    Spyder Sports Case

    • 1038 Words
    • 5 Pages

    1.a) To value Spyder Active Sports Inc., we decided to use the WACC method since we can easily value its cost of assets with the data immediately available to us in the case. We first unlevered the beta’s of 7 comparable companies and took the average to get a comparable unlevered beta for Spyder (Exhibit 1). Since we are assuming Spyder is entirely equity financed, its unlevered asset beta is equal to the beta of its assets. We now have a rough estimate of Spyder’s asset beta, we can use CAPM to calculate the cost of assets of the firm (Exhibit 2). With an appropriate discount rate, we can use the WACC method to discount the company’s projected cash flows. Again, since the company is entirely comprised of equity, the cost of assets is the cost of the entire firm, so we will use it in place of WACC. Using Spyder’s pro-forma income statement, we then calculate the FCF’s for the next 4 years and discount those using our cost of assets (Exhibit 3).…

    B Describe two significant legal ISSUES that this movie brought up. (Remember that FACTS are not the same as legal ISSUES. For example, in the movie THE ACCUSED, the character played by Jodie Foster is raped in a tavern. That is one of the FACTS of the case. One of the legal ISSUES was the use of PLEA BARGAIN - the prosecutor was willing to let the rapists "plea bargain" to lesser crimes.)…

    Nike Case

    • 4 Pages

    Any company’s assets are either financed by its debt or by its equity. The Weighted Average Cost of Capital is the average costs of these sources of financing, each of which is weighted by its respective use in the given situation. By taking the weighted average, we can see how much interest the company has to pay for every dollar it finances. Basically, the WACC is the minimum required return that the company must earn to satisfy its creditors, owners, and other providers of capital, or they will invest in another company that has higher returns. In this case, I will first address the issues with Cohen’s calculation, and then analyze an new WACC to decide whether we should invest in Nike Inc.…
