Takeover is a general and imprecise term referring to the transfer of control of a firm from one group of shareholders to another.

  1. Takeover is a general and imprecise term referring to the transfer of control of a firm from one group of shareholders to another. This can occur through any one of three means: acquisitions, proxy contests, and going-private transactions. Discuss THREE (3) basic legal procedures that one firm can use to acquire another firm.



  1. One important reason for an acquisition is that the combined firm may generate greater revenues than two separate firms. Increase in revenue may come from marketing gains, strategic benefits, and increase in market power. Briefly describe this revenue enhancement to the company.

The State Highway Department is considering a bypass loop that is expected to save motorists $820,000 per year in gasoline and other automobile-related expenses. However, local businesses will experience revenue losses estimated to be $135,000 each year. The cost of the loop will be $9,000,000. (a) Calculate the conventional B/C ratio using an interest rate of 6% per year and a 20-year project period. (b) Calculate the conventional B/C ratio without considering the disbenefits. Is the project economically justified with and without consider­ing the revenue losses? (c) Develop the single-cell spreadsheet functions that will answer the two questions above.

For your initial post: Assume you are going to a bank to apply for a loan for a new product you would like to manufacture and sell or provide a new service to clients. Use your imagination to think of a product or service? What types of expenses would be involved to make the product or service that would be included in your cash flow model? How would you estimate revenue for your product or service? What other factors should you consider in developing pro forma cash flows? What revenue or expense assumptions might be most affected by a sensitivity analysis?

Suppose the demand and supply for a product are described by the equations

Qd = 1080 -4P and Qs = -120+8P.

a. Find the equilibrium P, Q and elasticities of demand and supply

b. If a $6 per unit tax is levied on the demand for the product, find new P, Q and the percent of the tax incidence that falls on consumers and firms.

c. Find the tax revenue and welfare loss associated with the tax.

d. Now double the tax to $12. Find new P, Q, tax revenue and welfare loss.

e. What happens to the efficiency of taxation as we increase the amount of the tax? What are the implications of this result?
