What are the Guidelines for Selecting a MARR?
Q2/
A-A company purchased a series of markets 100 million $, five years ago. There was a net loss of 15
million $ at the end of year 1, of ownership. Net cash flow is increasing with an arithmetic gradient of +7
million $ per year starting the second year, and this pattern is expected to continue for the foreseeable
future. That means that breakeven net cash flow was achieved this year. Because of the heavy debt
financing used to purchase series of markets, the international board of directors expects MARR of 30%
per year from any sale.
a-An investor has just been offered 200 million $ by another company. Use FW analyses to determine if
the MARR will be realized at this selling price.
b-If the company continues to own the series of markets, what selling price must be obtained at the end of
8th years of ownership to make the MARK ?
Why is it financially unhealthy for an individual to maintain a large percentage of debt financing over a long period of time, that is, to be highly leveraged?
