BULL Inc., a publicly-traded company, is considering acquiring BEAR Inc., a private company. Use information to construct an NPV analysis. Your conclusion
should state whether this acquisition is a good idea. Remember that you should first find the price of
BEAR Inc using the appropriate WACC and then evaluate the acquisition from BULL’s perspective as an
investment.
Need to calculate and show work/steps-
Cost of Debt
Cost of Equity
Equity Beta
Weighted Average Asset Beta
WACC
TVS
FCF
NPV
Good decision or not?
+any other that are needed to get to final step

International Weighted Average of Calculation Analysis
For this assignment, make certain to show your work where computations are involved and to provide thorough, well-developed answers for conceptual ones.
A large multinational firm has decided to look for investment opportunities. In order to evaluate them, it must raise capital and determine the target weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Given the following assumptions, compute the WACC:
weights of 40% debt and 60% common equity (not preferred equity),
35% tax rate,
8% cost of debt,
1.5 beta of the company,
2% risk-free rate, and
11% return on the market.
In addition to computing the WACC, calculate the expected return on equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Show the steps involved in calculating the expected return on equity using the CAPM, including the calculation of the risk premium.
Would you support this multinational corporation, which would favor financing through bonds issues, or would you rather support that it favors financing through stock issues? Be sure to provide a rationale for your argument. Consider the differences between risk and return in your analysis.
Finally, this multinational corporation has been asked to lend money for a major commercial real estate development in a foreign country. At the same time, there have been reports of a further devaluation of that foreign country’s currency. With regard to translation exposure, economic exposure (operating and transaction), and exchange risk, how would this impact your assessment of the creditworthiness of this project?
Your written analysis of this case study must be at least five pages in length. No outside sources are necessary to complete this assignment; however, APA Style should be adhered to for the overall structure of the case study. No abstract is needed.

Select a major economic event (e.g. bursting of dot-com bubble, global financial crisis, European sovereign debt crisis, etc.) which had a major impact on financial markets and institutions of a country/area. using this, answer the main 4 questions presented. please add table of contents, trusted sources of graphs (government website etc.) and at least 12 peer-reviewed articles. Work needs to be professionally formatted. please do refer to the marking criteria also and OVERALL NOTES. 3000 word ±10%

After reading the case, complete step 14.
14) For FY 2024: Develop a statistical budget. Develop a revenue budget after deciding whether a rate increase will bring more money to the bottom line. [See appendix 9.1 in chapter 9.] Develop the following four expense budgets in statement of operations format, including detailed footnotes explaining any changes in the numbers:
(1) Increase expenses the maximum requested after adjusting variable expenses based on the statistical budget (use inpatient day equivalents [discussed in appendix 1.3 in chapter 1] to determine the percent increase or decrease in volumes) and based on the anticipated inflation rate of 5 percent.
(2) Maintain expenses at FY 2023 levels after adjusting variable expenses based on the statistical budget and based on the inflation rate of 5 percent.
(3) Reduce expenses from Budget 2 to break even in FY 2024.
(4) Reduce expenses from Budget 2 to not only break even in FY 2024 but also to recover FY 2023 losses.

TASK 1- decide on a PUBLICALLY LISTED company(Option2.1) or choose MACROECONOMIC data (option 2.2) .
to analyse stock price of a pubklically listed company – eg Apple, Tesla etc (dont choose these common companies and end up having high plagirism with others. There 55214 publically listed companies in the world. All variables must cover calendar year 2023 at daily frequency (at least 200 observations). You can download the data for Option 1 using Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, or any other financial database of your choice. As you will be online for the coming weeks the easiest way is to download the data from yahoo finance.
TASK 2- Constructing the dataset (I will describe this in detail in the week 7 online lecture class)
For your assignment analysis, you must construct a dataset including a continuous dependent variable (?),two continuous independent variables (?1 and ?2 ), and a dummy independent variable (?3 ). You choose any of the options below
Option 2.1: Time Series
To perform a time series analysis using Yahoo Finance and Excel with the specified variables, follow these steps:
2.1.1 Download Daily Stock Returns of your selected company (Y)
check this link for video – https://youtu.be/S39Lx-Lh3fQ?si＝dyGmKTmPeOqG3HKF SAME as above
Go to Yahoo Finance.
Search for your chosen company.
Navigate to the ″Historical Data″ tab.
Set the time range to cover the calendar year 2023, daily
Download daily stock price in csv excel
2.1.2 Download Daily Index Return (X1)
check this link for video – https://youtu.be/S39Lx-Lh3fQ?si＝dyGmKTmPeOqG3HKF SAME as above
Go to Yahoo Finance.
Search for a relevant stock market benchmark (e.g., S&P 500)
Navigate to the ″Historical Data″ tab.
Set the time range to cover the calendar year 2023, daily
download daily index in csv excel and calculate returns means – apply simple or log returns to the index (pt/Pt-1 or Ln(Pt/pt-1)
2.1.3 Download Daily Commodity/Currency Returns: (X2)
check this link for video- https://youtu.be/S39Lx-Lh3fQ?si＝dyGmKTmPeOqG3HKF SAME as above
Go to Yahoo Finance.
Search for a relevant currency or commodity (e.g., USD, oil)
Navigate to the ″Historical Data″ tab.
Set the time range to cover the calendar year 2023, daily
download daily currency / commodity in csv excel and calculate returns means returns- apply simple or log returns to the index (pt/Pt-1 or Ln(Pt/pt-1)
2.1.4 Create dummy variable: (X3)
Open a spreadsheet in excel
copy the downloaded data (Y, X1, X2)ONLY date and CLOSING PRICES needed into the spreadsheet.
calculate returns of Y, X1, X2 means – apply simple or log returns Yt,X1t and X2t in the format of (pt/Pt-1 or Ln(Pt/pt-1)
create a new column for the dummy variable.
Define the criteria for the dummy variable (e.g., positive or negative returns).
Use a formula or coding to assign 1 or 0 to the dummy variable based on the defined criteria.
you are yet to complete the last 2 steps in the weeks lectures so leave that for the time being
Option 2.2: Cross Section Data
