You have been asked by an investor to value a restaurant using discounted cash flow valuation. For the current year, the restaurant earned pretax operating income of $750,000. Income has grown 2% annually during the last five years, and is expected to continue growing at that rate for the next two years. Net operating working capital increased by $60,000 during the current year and current year capital spending on long-lived assets exceeded depreciation by $75,000. Both working capital and the excess of capital spending over depreciation are projected to grow at the same rate as operating income. Subsequent to the second year, you believe the pretax operating income growth rate will increase to 3% per year and remain at that level into the foreseeable future. The 10-year Treasury bond rate is 2.5%, the equity risk premium is 5.5%, and the marginal federal, state, and local tax rate is 35%. The restaurant’s beta and its target debt-to-equity ratio are 1.74 and 0.67, respectively.

Upscale hotels in the united states recently cut their prices by 20 percent in an effort to bolster dwindling occupancy rates among business travelers. a survey performed by a major research organization indicated that businesses are wary of current economic conditions and are now resorting to electronic media, such as the internet and the telephone, to transact business. assume a company's budget permits it to spend $5,000 per month on either business travel or electronic media to transact business. graphically illustrate how a 20 percent decline in the price of business travel would impact this company's budget set if the price of business travel was initially $1,000 per trip and the price of electronic media was $500 per hour. suppose that, after the price of business travel drops, the company issues a report indicating that its marginal rate of substitution between electronic media and business travel is 1. is the company allocating resources efficiently? explain.
