You must complete this assignment. All assignments may be completed individually or by working with ONE other person (see Assignment Write-up Guide for details). Assignment #3 Details: • Choose three (3) publicly-traded companies in the same industry. (Do not pick Apple as they are in several industries). I can be any industry—automobile, energy, hotel, etc. • Calculate the WACC for each firm • Calculate the EnV:EBITDA ratio for each firm • What is your interpretation of the data you generated? What conclusions (if any) can you make? Help: Use the CAPM model to calculate the cost of Capital: Use the 10-year treasury rate as the risk-free rate (1.84%) and use 6% as the market premium Cost of Equity = 1.84% + beta*(6%) We will use a CAPM-like method to calculate the cost of debt for each company: Cost of debt = risk-free rate + (corporate bond premium)*beta Cost of debt = 1.84% + (2.76%-1.84%)* beta = 1.84% + beta*0.92% For the industry tax rate, use the value from the closest industry listed in the WACC by Industry table in the Excel workbook “06_Fin522_WACC_to_EnV” (in the “lecture slide” folder) You can use the EnV:EBITDA Excel template provided — both WACC and EnV:EBITDA calculations are on separate tabs in the “06_Fin522_WACC_to_EnV” excel file in the lecture slide folder.
