You have been asked by an investor to value a restaurant using discounted cash flow valuation. For the current year, the restaurant earned pretax operating income of $750,000. Income has grown 2% annually during the last five years, and is expected to continue growing at that rate for the next two years. Net operating working capital increased by $60,000 during the current year and current year capital spending on long-lived assets exceeded depreciation by $75,000. Both working capital and the excess of capital spending over depreciation are projected to grow at the same rate as operating income. Subsequent to the second year, you believe the pretax operating income growth rate will increase to 3% per year and remain at that level into the foreseeable future. The 10-year Treasury bond rate is 2.5%, the equity risk premium is 5.5%, and the marginal federal, state, and local tax rate is 35%. The restaurant’s beta and its target debt-to-equity ratio are 1.74 and 0.67, respectively. Its pretax cost of borrowing, based on its recent borrowing activities, is 9%. (Show Work)

Dr. Lillian Fok, a New Orleans psychologist, specializes in treating patients who are agoraphobic (i.e., afraid to leave their homes). The following table indicates how many patients Dr. Fok has seen each year for the past 10 years. It also indicates what the robbery rate was in New Orleans during the same year.

The simple linear regression equation that shows the best relationship between the number of patients and year is (round your responses to three decimal places):
ModifyingAbove y with carety =??????+??????x where
ModifyingAbove y with carety = Dependent Variable and x = Independent Variable.
Using linear regression, the number of patients Dr. Fok will see in year 11=????? patients (round your response to two decimal places).
Using linear regression, the number of patients Dr. Fok will see in year 12=???? patients (round your response to two decimal places).
The coefficient of determination for the linear regression model is 0.8621 This shows that there is a (strong) OR (not so strong) relationship between the "Number of Patients" and "Year."
