to first start with the beta of equity. We are given the beta of equity of 1.06 of Dixon as a firm in Exhibit 7. However‚ the beta given is not an appropriate measure of the systematic risk of the Collinsville Plant‚ because Dixon produces many other chemical products other than Sodium Chlorate. Therefore‚ in order to accurately capture the systematic risk of the plant which only produces Sodium Chlorate‚ we decided to calculate the beta of equity with comparable firms’ beta. Selection of Comparable

question can be seen from the formulas for w 0 (equation 8.20) and w* (equation 8.21). Other things held equal‚ w 0 is smaller the greater the residual variance of a candidate asset for inclusion in the portfolio. Further‚ we see that regardless of beta‚ when w 0 decreases‚ so does w*. Therefore‚ other things equal‚ the greater the residual variance of an asset‚ the smaller its position in the optimal risky portfolio. That is‚ increased firm-specific risk reduces the extent to which an active investor

it accounts for the beta. Using the CAPM model‚ the new Star Company cost of equity is calculated as 9.4% and the WACC is determined to be 9.14% at the 9.5% debt rate. In addition to the estimation of the cost of equity‚ Star Appliance Company is also considering increasing their current debt ratio of 9.5% to the industry average of 19%. With a higher current debt ratio the WACC will be lower‚ at a rate of 8.24%. The cost of equity of each product was valued using the beta from the industry averages

Marriot Case Study AF 325 12/12/11 1. The divisional hurdle rates at Marriott have a significant impact on the firm’s financial and operating strategies. For every 1% increase in the hurdle rate there would be a 1% decrease in the net present value of projects inflows. It makes sense to institute these divisional hurdle rates in each of the company’s three divisions since it will assure that projects taken on will have a positive net present value. It is essential for Marriott to make

model was further developed by Sharpe‚ Treynor‚ Lintner‚ Mossion in 1960s. Basically‚ the Capital asset pricing model shows the theory of the relationship between risks and returns which state that the expected risk premium on any security equals its beta time the market risk premium. (Brealey/Myers/Marcus‚ 2009) In other word‚ the CAPM laid the basis for modelling the risk-return relationship‚ it is considered as the central theory that links risk and return for all assets and it is based on very strong

After finding out the cost of debt and the fraction of debt for lodging and restaurant divisions‚ we will be able to calculate the WACC at each of the two divisions. Using a mathematical method‚ we will then be able to find out the Beta and determine the cost of debt and the fraction of debt for this division. Finally
