Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 seconds). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table.
| Delay Before Recall | ||
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0.5 | 1 |
| 9 | 4 | 5 |

(Assume alpha equal to 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal
places.)
The critical value is for each pairwise comparison.
Which of the comparisons had significant differences? (Select all
that apply.)
The null hypothesis of no difference should be retained because none of the pairwise comparisons demonstrate a significant difference.Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.Recall following a half second delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a half second delay.

HCA Healthcare is considering an acquisition of Mission Health. Mission Health is a publicly traded company, and its current beta is 1.30. Mission Health has been barely profitable and had paid an average of only 20 percent in taxes during the last several years. In addition, it uses little debt, having a debt ratio of just 25 percent. If the acquisition were made, HCA would operate Mission Health as a separate, wholly owned subsidiary. Mission Health would pay taxes on a consolidated basis, and the tax rate would therefore increase to 35 percent. HCA also would increase the debt capitalization in the Mission Health subsidiary to 40 percent of assets, which would increase its beta to 1.50. HCA estimates that Mission Health if acquired, would produce the following net cash flows to HCA's shareholders (in millions of dollars):

4 |
$2.00 |
||||
|
5 and beyond |
Constant growth at 6% |
||||
These cash flows include all acquisition effects. HCA's cost of equity is 14 percent, its beta is 1.0, and its cost of debt is 10 percent. The risk-free rate is 8 percent.
a. What discount rate should be used to discount the estimated cash flow? (Hint: Use HCA's cost of equity to determine the market risk premium.)
b. What is the dollar value of Mission Health to HCA's shareholders?
