A-3 (Coverage ratio) The firm in the two preceding problems also had $6 million of principal repayments during the latest 12 months. Its marginal tax rate is 40%. Calculate the debt service coverage ratio. Debt-Service Coverage Ratio = (EBIT + 1/3 Rentals) / (Interest Expense + 1/3 Rentals + Principal Repayments / (1 - T)) = ($30 + $15 / 3) / ($10 + $15 / 3 + $6 / (1 - 0.40)) = 1.40 A-4 (WACC with rebalancing) Nathan’s Catering is a gourmet catering service located in Southampton‚ New York

Travis Kellenberger AGEC 700 Problem Set #3 2) The demand curve for a product is given by Qdx = 1‚200-3Px- .01Pz‚ where Pz = $300. a) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price below $140? At the given prices‚ quantity demanded is 750 units: Qdx = 1‚200- (3 *140) -.1 (300) = 750. -140/750=-.56; demand is inelastic at this price point and you would be decreasing
