Radio One Case
Cases in Financial management
Radio One Case This case involves whether Radio One should purchase the 21 radio stations from Clear Channel, Davis and IBL LLC and the impact of the acquisition to the investors and on the market. Examining the stations it fits with Radio One’s Corporate Strategy and they have the ability to bid first on a group of stations that would double Radio One’s size. Also this purchase would create national coverage for Radio One. First we must look at the Return on Asset of Radio One. With a Risk Free rate of 6.3% given from Exhibit 10; I am using 30 years because that is the highest and most logical for this particular industry. I calculated the Risk premium from the average of both the AAA and AA Corporate bonds on Exhibit 10; the result was 7.2%. Finally the Asset Beta given in Exhibit 8 of .82 .Thus the Return on the Asset is roughly 12.2% Calculating the NPV of the stations helps Radio One see if taking on this acquisition is worth the value. Using Exhibit 9 for the project forecasting and continuing on for the said 30 years you get 1,178,171 with the NPV set at 12.2% and each year growing at 6%. The reasoning for 6% is because from optimizing between 4-8%; 6% was in the middle. What is the market value of Radio One? To find this I took the price per share $97 and multiplied it by the number of shares 16,137,000 getting a market value of $1.5 billion. Now to investigate the WACC of Radio One. Rd = Interest paid of $15.3m over Market Price = $82.6 million = 18.53% Re = CAPM = 6.28 + Beta of .82*7.7 (Using the BBB Corp Bond Rate) =12.44.
I propose that Radio One should offer the said price of 1.3 billion for the 21 stations. They should use the payment of the debt of $82 million with the use of current investments available for sale, then use the remainder in the deal for. This would cover the cash portion making the bid attractive because of the balancing of the debt before taking on the acquisition. The remainder of

    This report is about the creation of the sattelite radio industry, and its only two operating companies Sirius Sattelite Radio, and XM Radio. These companies, despite obvious duopoly advantages and some early succeses, were too heavily leaden with debt, resulting in a controversial merger worth billions. Even after the merger the company struggled to cope. I chose this company because of the interesting nature of these two companies with an immediate duopoly of the newly created industry, and the controversial nature of the decision that allowed them to merge.…

    1. Radio One’s opportunities and risks with respect to their acquisition policy We have identified four main benefits and five major risks with respect to the desired acquisition of 12 urban stations along with the nine stations in Charlotte, Augusta and Indianapolis. Potential benefits: 1. After the acquisition of the 12 urban stations, Radio One becomes the market leader in the African-American segment. The market leader is usually the most attractive negotiator for advertisement companies since it targeting the audience largely. Therefore, the acquisition can increase Radio One’s advertisement revenues. 2. Radio One describes in its strategy plan the intention to expand its business activity scope in the long run. The acquisition of the 12 urban stations provides greater opportunities for Radio One’s planned expansion into a broader scope of media, such as internet, cable radio and recording. Therefore, the acquisition affects the realization of its strategy positively. 3. The acquisition can create some synergies for Radio One since the 12 target radio stations are in the same line of business as the existing radio stations. Potential synergies can be realized by cutting costs and improve efficiencies. One straightforward way to do this is by merging some of Radio One’s departments, for instance marketing, finance, and etcetera. 4. The African-American audience can be characterized as a high growth market segment with 60% faster population growth and 150% faster income growth than the general population. The acquisition enables Radio One to provide radio services in much more markets for the African-American audience. In this way, Radio One can attract more African-Americans which will become a very…

    Killing God in Code Geass

    • 1993 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Observing Code Geass from a straightforward viewpoint will reveal what it is generally perceived as. This show is highly rated in Japan, just as it is to anime viewers in other countries. Due to its nature, a Japanese anime, Code Geass contains plenty of fictional elements and comical scenarios. These can consist of Knightmare frames (pilotable fighting robots for combat), superpowers, flying super-fortresses, or high school students who singlehandedly raise a personal rebellion force in just a few weeks, or build an antimatter bomb in a lab located underneath a school. Despite the far-fetched fiction, each of these examples helps make Code Geass the masterpiece that it is. It tells a great story which cannot be easily forgotten. If one were to dig deeper into the story Code Geass tells, they may find many more hidden in between the lines. Code Geass subtly makes remarks about modern worldviews throughout the entire series, using simple dialog, names of characters, or certain events as a foothold. These include racial discrimination, forms of government, and religion. While each of these worldviews is referenced, religion is undoubtedly the most prominent. Religious allusions in Code Geass are not derived from one belief, but many. Situations in the show can at times reflect mythology, such as Norse and Irish, as well was present-day religions like Hinduism and Catholicism. All of these religious beliefs being tied-in to certain characters and events in Code Geass may suggest that “overcoming God”, or surpassing religion, may lead to a world peace.…
