Every week, around $3.30 in taxes from each of us pays for our aid program—about the cost of a cup of coffee. This is around one per cent of Australian Government expenditure, compared to the 33 per cent spent on social security and welfare. In 2011–12, Australia will provide $4.8 billion worth of official development assistance. The Australian Government continues to increase aid in line with other donor countries. By 2015–16 the annual aid figure is estimated to reach around $8–9 billion (0.5 per cent of Gross National Income).

According to Trends in College Spending, a study done by the delta cost project, "Enrollment in U.S. postsecondary institutions totaled almost 18.6 million students in the 2008 academic year, a nearly 26 percent increase over the ten-year period beginning in 1998." The increase in demand for a college education has directly influenced college costs. It's simple economics, when demand goes up the price of the product being demanded will increase. The power lies on the side of the universities to determine whether their prices will rise or fall. Schools know that the quickest way to an elightened future is through their doors.
The first step in helping Prescott was to calculate a new cost of capital—as the one used by WPC was 10 years old. I used the weighted average cost of capital equation to calculate a new WACC of 9.97%. My calculations are and assumptions are shown in further detail in the attached sheets. Next, I had to generate the free cash flows for years 2007-2013 using Prescott’s given assumptions. * $18 M purchase price * $1.8 M selling price * Investment in PPE (2007) was $16 M * Investment in PPE (2008) was $2 M * $4 M in Sales (2008) * $10 M in Sales (2009-2013) * COGS: 75% of Sales * SG&A: 5% of Sales * $2 M Operating Savings (2008) * $3.5 M Operating Savings (2009-2013) * Depreciation was on a straight-line basis for 6 years beginning in 2008 * $18 M / 6 years = $3 M * 40% tax rate * NWC: 10% of Sales * Salvage value was zero * The FCF per year was determined using the following: * Net Income + Depreciation Expense - ∆ Net Working Capital + Investment in PPE After generating the FCF for each year, I had to solve for NPV and IRR to value the investment.
What were T. Boone Pickens’ motives when he bought the share? On April 4,1989, Mr. Pickens had bought 32.4 million koito shares(20.2%) from Mr.Watanabe. A year after, on March 30, 1990, he acquired additional 5 million shares of Koito stock, therefore, with the 26.4% koito shares, he has become the largest stockholder of the Koito Manufacturing Company. He claimed that his purchase of Koito's shares was a long-term investment and the purchase is a test case to determine the accessibility of the Tokyo market. He also intended to get operating data and board representation in order to access to the management level and have the right to the dividend allocation.
The government want to build 240,000 houses every year until 2016 so that prices do not spiral out of control. 60% of these will target Brownfield sites. 2: the inner city Part of the demand for housing will be satisfied in inner city areas. Successive governments have had a variety of strategies to improve living in inner cities since 1945-most infamously the building of cheap, high-rise blocks of flats in the 1960s and 70s as a ‘quick fix’.
