AB InBev has been engaged in a legal dispute that dates back roughly a hundred years in many jurisdictions over the Budweiser name with Czech state-owned brewer Budejovicky Budvar.

We created the following examples to show how WACC could potentially influence Marriott’s financial decisions: Suppose Marriott is taking on a project that requires a $100,000 initial investment, which produces cash inflows of $20,000 per year for 10 years. If we use Marriott’s current WACC of 9.29% the project would produce an NPV of $26,730. If we use the Target WACC, 10.24% for Marriott the NPV would be $21,634.

B&L can roll out the new distribution plan in three phases: Phase- One: Change the distribution method to the company top 10% distributors. Only the high volume distributors with the high volume customer change over first.

After round 1 of VC investment: Due to the deal with the Pacific Ridge, Neverfail share prices were going for $1.50 per share The Company was valued at $9 million as of December 1994 according to the case study. Initial value of Pacific ridge investment (December 1995) is: 666,667 * $1.50 + 133,333 * $0.3 = $1,040,000.4 (initial investment, exhibit 7).
