Answer
:
The maximum amount McDonald's should pay for Crusty Burger based just on profits is
determined by calculating the present value of the expected earnings stream using a selected
discount rate.
Let us assume an 8% discount rate. Before being added together, the profits from each year will
be reduced to reflect their present worth.

Answer:
The maximum amount McDonald's should pay for Crusty Burger based just on profits is
determined by calculating the present value of the expected earnings stream using a selected
discount rate. Let us assume an 8% discount rate. Before being added together, the profits from
each year will be reduced to reflect their present worth.
First of all, the opportunity cost of capital and the risk associated with investing in Crusty Burger
are taken into consideration by the discount rate. A greater discount rate would suggest a
significant amount of risk and lead to a lower valuation. Conversely, a lower discount rate would
indicate less risk and result in a higher valuation. We believe that an 8% discount rate strikes an
appropriate balance given the average risk associated with purchases made by similar sector
participants.
Secondly, the long-term average return on investment in the market is consistent with a
discount rate of 8%. It takes into consideration the potential profits that investors may make by
moving their money in a different direction.

Homework 7
It is important to note that while calculating the maximum purchase price based only on profits,
other qualitative factors like possible synergies, brand value, market positioning, or operational
savings that may emerge from the acquisition are not taken into account. These factors may, in
fact, justify a higher purchase price.

After reading through the information I'm a little confused on a few of the equations and why and where they pull info from each of the answers. After reading through the problem the three things needed are:
A. Operating Income (annual) for the new WSM service?

Scenario:
You're a savvy entrepreneur that wants to open an ice cream shop downtown near the college campus. However, you remember your lesson on financial planning and decide it's a good idea to project cash flows for your business before investing your time and money in the operation. Your objective is break-even on a cash basis within 3 years of opening shop - Otherwise, the business opportunity is not worth your time.
You make the following assumptions and notes:
Each ice cream cone is sold for ₱25 and costs ₱25 to make in materials.
You plan on selling 10,000 cones in year 1, 15,000 cones in year 2, and 25,000 cones in year 3.
Sales projections after year 3 are difficult to make, but you know that they will not be lower than 25,000 cones per year.
Your lease for the business location is ₱125,000 annually, and your lease for the ice cream equipment is ₱62,500 annually.
You plan on hiring part-time staff to help you during peak season. You assume that this would cost ₱62,500…

Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook are introduced in the chapter’s opening feature. Assume that they are considering two options. Plan A. Facebook would begin selling access to a premium version of its website. The new online customers would use their credit cards. The company has the capability of selling the premium service with no additional investment in hardware or software. Annual credit sales are expected to increase by $250,000. Costs associated with Plan A: Additional wages related to these new sales are $135,500; credit card fees will be 4.75% of sales; and additional recordkeeping costs will be 6% of sales. Premium service sales will reduce advertising revenues for Facebook by $8,750 annually because some customers will now only use the premium service. Plan B. The company would begin selling Facebook merchandise. It would make additional annual credit sales of $500,000. Costs associated with Plan B: Cost of these new sales is $375,000; additional recordkeeping…
