You are looking to launch a new hotel chain, Roxy.

To launch Roxy you are expected to invest $500nmillion this year (year = 0). You are then expected to generate free cash flows of $27 million a year starting in year 1. From then, these cash flows are expected to grow 3% per year in perpetuity. Assume these cash flows are received at the end of each year.

Here are reports of publicly traded firms, and the expected returns on the government bond (treasury) and the risk premium on the value-weighted market portfolio:

Assume CAPM holds for all assets, and the debt of Dropbox, Ikea and Intercontinental Hotels Group is risk free. None of these firms hold excess cash assets.

Assume now that Roxy is financed instead with a debt to value ratio of 25%, and this leverage ratio is not expected to change. Assume that the debt issued is risk free and there are no frictions in financial markets.

Answer the following questions:

a) Calculate Roxys WACC with leverage?

b) Calculate Roxys ROE with leverage?

c) Calculate the value of Roxy with leverage?
