model and the weighted average cost of capital through calculation of the cost of capital for Marriott as a whole. Dan Cohrs is faced with making recommendations for the hurdle rates at Marriott Corporation and its three divisions utilizing CAPM and WACC. This case illustrates how to calculate beta based on comparable companies and to lever betas to adjust for capital structure; the appropriate risk-less rate and market risk premium; the choice of time period to estimate expected returns and the difference

James Dean was a famous actor in the 1950’s who also loved to race cars. Dean was an up and coming new actor when tragedy struck. James was traveling in California when he rammed into the back of another car‚ and he was pronounced dead at the scene. This changed the movie world and it made people realize that tragedy can strike whenever‚ wherever. James Dean was born on February 8‚ 1931‚ in Indiana‚ to Winton Dean and Mildred Wilson. Soon after James was born‚ his dad became a dentist

This tax deductibility is a source of value for the firm. In the normal NPV calculation‚ this additional value is accounted for in the WACC. However‚ in many cases the capital structure

Mortensen used WACC formula to estimate cost of capital‚ compute the cost of debt by adding a premium over US Treasury securities of a similar maturity‚ and calculate the cost of equity by using the CAPM formula. After reviewing the case and tables given‚ we calculated the company’s composite WACC and WACCs for each division respectively. The company’s composite WACC is 8.19%.

to assess its two business segments. They look at return of capital on both segments and apply the same hurdle rate‚ which is also used for performance assessment. The hurdle rate was established using Teletech’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) as a representation of the opportunity cost of money. Some of the company’s senior management‚ chiefly Rick Phillips‚ Executive Vice President of the Telecommunications Services segment‚ believe the company should be using different hurdle rates

General Approach The company is split into 3 divisions Lodging‚ Contract Services and Restaurants. The WACC for each of the 3 divisions and then subsequently the entire corporation’s WACC need to be calculated. This will be done through calculating the WACC for each of the 3 divisions and then taking a weighted average of these 3 divisional WACC numbers to get the overall Marriott Corporation WACC. 1. Calculating the Beta a. Calculate the levered Beta for each division: BL = BU (1+D/E)

If Venerus and AES implement the suggested methodology‚ the projects would change while WACC changes. To find WACC we must first calculate the leveraged bets for each the US Red Oak and Lal Plr Pakistan projects‚ using the equation unleveled beta/(1-D/V). It is easy to find debt to capital ratios‚ which are 39.5% for U.S and 35.1% for Pakistan‚ and the

it uses greater leverage. 2. No‚ it doesn’t follow. While it is true that the equity and debt costs are rising‚ the key thing to remember is that the cost of debt is still less than the cost of equity. Since we are using more and more debt‚ the WACC does not necessarily rise. 3. Because many relevant factors such as bankruptcy costs‚ tax asymmetries‚ and agency costs cannot easily be identified or quantified‚ it’s practically impossible to determine the precise debt-equity ratio that maximizes

C - 3 The NPV will change if the WACC change; if the WACC increases the NPV will decrease on the other hand if the WACC decreases the NPV will increase.
