Calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for PDI.

E/V80.00%

Cost of equity9.40%

Risk-free rate 3.00%

Beta 1.28

Market equity risk premium 5.00%

D/V20.00%

Cost of debt4.00%

Corporate tax rate40.00%

WACC 80% x 9.40%) + [20% x 4% x (1 - 40%)]= 8.00% WACC = (E/V x Re) + ((D/V x Rd) x (1 - T))

*Cost of equityRisk free rate of return + (Beta * Risk premium) = 3% + (1.28 x 5%) 0.094

Givend the above, I cannot get the following:

Sum of FCF PV =?

Terminal value =?

Present value of terminal value =?

Total value of PDI =?

Assumptions

Discount rate ?

A Markov chain with state space {1, 2, 3} has transition probability matrix 0.6 0.3 0.1\\ P. = 0.3 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.1 0.5 (a) Is this Markov chain irreducible? Is the Markov chain recurrent or transient? Explain your answers. (b) What is the period of state 1? Hence deduce the period of the remaining states. Does this Markov chain have a limiting distribution? (c) Consider a general three-state Markov chain with transition matrix P11 P12 P13 P = P21 P22 P23 P31 P32 P33 Give an example of a specific set of probabilities p;; for which the Markov chain is not irreducible (there is no single right answer to this, of course !).Problem 7.4 (10 points) A Markov chain X0,X1, X2, . . . with state space S = {1, 2, 3, 4} has the following transition graph: (a) Provide the transitiOn matrix fer the Markov chain. (13) Determine all recurrent and all transient states. Determine if the following items represent an example of positive economics or normative economics. The richest 1% of Americans should pay more taxes than the rest of the 99%. O Positive Economics O Normative Economics A decrease in the supply of coconut will increase the price of German O Normative Economics chocolate cake, a good which requires coconut shavings as a key ingredient O Positive Economics The higher the minimum wage, the higher the price of goods and services Normative Economics is likely to bo. OO Positive Economics Social welfare spending in Sweden occupies too large a portion of the O Positive Economics national budget. O Normative Economics
