Willie Lohmann travels from city to city for business. Every other year he buys a used car for about $15,000. The dealer allows about $8000 as a trade-in allowance, so Willie spends $7000 every other year for a car. Willie keeps accurate records of his expenses, which total 32.3¢ per mile. Willie's employer has two plans to reimburse car expenses:
(A)Actual expenses: Willie will receive all his oper-ating expenses, and $3500 each year for the car's decline in value.
(B) Standard mileage rate: Willie will receive 56.5 ¢per mile but no operating expenses and no depre-ciation allowance.
If Willie travels 18,000 miles per year, which method gives him the larger reimbursement? At what annual mileage do the two methods give the same reimbursement?

- The Free Cash Flow model has the following advantage over the Dividend Growth model: In the case of variable growth, it does not require the calculation of any horizon value. It can be applied even if growth rates are unknown. It can be applied to companies with variable growth in the initial years that eventually settle down to a fixed rate of growth for the long term. It can be applied to divisions of companies. O It does not require any forecasting.arrow_forwardYou create your own start-up company that supply bowl directly to a number of customers.
