The cast of 'ABCD 2' has wrapped up its Las Vegas's shooting schedule and actor Varun Dhawan, who plays one of the leads in the film, says he never had so much fun like the way he did in this film.
International dancer Lauren Gottlieb, who forayed into Bollywood with 'ABCD: AnyBody Can Dance' last year, is set to start shooting for the film's sequel in Las Vegas.
Remo D`Souza`s 'ABCD - Any Body Can Dance', the country`s first 3D dance film, has got the thumbs up from the viewers. It collected Rs.19.5 crore in its opening weekend at the domestic box-office.
Actor-director Prabhudeva, whose film "ABCD" has opened with an outstanding collection, says now he will hike his price as an actor.
Working with ageing veterans is a boon for Prabhudheva and the choreographer-turned-director says they are his lucky mascots.
Ace choreographer and director Prabhudheva can be seen grooving to his epic dance number 'Muqabla' in 'ABCD: AnyBody Can Dance'.
The promotional multi-city tour for the movie 'ABCD - AnyBody Can Dance', which was supposed to start from New Delhi, will now take off from Bangalore for the sake of injured choreographer-turned-actor Salman Yusuff Khan.
Salman Yusuff Khan, who is making his silver screen debut with Remo D`Souza`s 'ABCD AnyBody Can Dance', says he won`t do dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' now.
Remo D`Souza and Prabhudheva, who have worked together for upcoming 3D movie 'ABCD - AnyBody Can Dance', will treat their fans to a dance face-off at a forthcoming awards function.
Choreographer Ganesh Acharya, who features in 'ABCD - AnyBody Can Dance', says that the film has turned out to be really good and will benefit its director Remo D`Souza.

They say it has too much spending and not enough tax cuts. It was a loss for bipartisanship but an early win for President Obama — just eight days into his presidency. The bill now goes to the Senate. Listen Loading… Download Playlist

Bridal luncheon - who to invite?
I'm a bridesmaid. The bride has requested absolutely no bachlorette party, so the bridesmaids are all taking her out for a "spa day" and lunch on the day before the wedding.
We had envisioned this as just the bride, bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride & groom. But we are wondering if we should invite other female family members & close friends. They are a very close-knit family and might be offended if they aren't included.
The rehearsal dinner is two days before the wedding, and basically all family and close friends are invited in addition to the wedding party. So the order of events is: Rehearsal dinner, spa day, wedding day.
Should we include all of these close family and friends in the spa day or maybe just the lunch? And who should pay if we do invite them? The bridesmaids are going to pay for the bride and mothers.
My vote: ask the bride.
And if you DO make it more people, then they should pay for their own (be sure to tell them how much it will cost them if they come; tell them that's simply their own expense, and that the bridesmaids are covering bride & moms).
But I personally would leave it at bridesmaids. These are the people the bride is close enough to, to include in the wedding party. The other, slightly more extended people can get their jollies at the rehearsal dinner.
I agree. In general, it's better not to "invite" people to pay their own way at an entertainment. (I don't mean where a group of friends goes out together Dutch treat and maybe treats the birthday girl or whatever; I mean a party with hosts and invitations, but the "guests" are expected to pony up not only for a gift, but for the food, drinks, etc.)
But I don't blame you for not wanting to treat several women to a spa day! That can get really expensive. On the other hand, a spa day isn't for everyone, and I think some people might feel put on the spot: "I really don't want to go for an expensive spa day with my niece and her girlfriends, but will they feel bad if I decline?" Conversely, I don't think people will feel snubbed if they aren't included in a bridesmaids' outing.
Maybe you could invite the others for lunch only?
There have been several showers already, and at the last one I was invited to, I was told at the end that the bridesmaids and others were supposed to "put in" for the shower. "Oh, and your share is $65.00". This was at a person's home, just a few homemade sweets and some drinks. I was speechless, but apparently that is how that group does these things, so I smiled and wrote a check for both me and another bridesmaid who didn't have that much cash with her.
I think it's awful to ask guests to pay for their share of things, but on the other hand I can't afford to pay for a big day out for a bunch of additional people. The bride is so stressed out right now, I wouldn't want her to have to put together a guest list for her spa day. But I do feel like we're stealing her away from her wedding guests. A lot of people are from out and town and may expect to be entertained.
The bride doesn't really know we are doing this. We will tell her before in case she has other plans, but right now it's sort of a surprise, and a way to help her de-stress right before the wedding. We want her to be relaxed and beautiful!
I guess we could just have the bridesmaids and moms, and if somebody gets offended I'll take the blame.
Twinkle, you brought up some important factors. This is to take place when there are already out of town guests there? You're right, it might be a problem to take the bride away. Maybe discuss this with her mom if you want it to be a surprise -- but the bride may have plans of her own, and/or may well have some last-minute errands and tasks come up. You don't want your surprise treat to turn out to be an inconvenience for her because she had planned to do something important then, or had to pack for her honeymoon, or do some last-minute errands, etc. As you said, the idea is to help her DE-stress. I think even something as lovely as a spa day would just stress me out more if someone surprised me with it during the busiest days of my life!
Do you all live in the same town? If so, I'd plan the spa day well before the wedding, not the day before. But there may be out of town bridesmaids. If so, and you really only have the day before the wedding to work with, I'd recommend forgetting about the surprise part so that the bride won't count on having that time free. You don't have to tell her all the plans, just the hours she'll be needed.
You should not have had to help pay for the costs of a shower if you were not involved in planning the shower and in the decisions that require an outlay of funds. It is very rude to hand someone a bill for something that they knew nothing about. From an etiquette perspective, the maid of honor and/or bridesmaids do not have to plan a shower if they can't because of distance, finances, time or another reason. The person who hosts the shower is the one who pays, not everyone in the wedding party.
Aside from any other considerations about the surprise factor, bride's schedule, etc., be aware that if the "spa day" includes facials you really want to schedule them a week or two before the wedding. A facial can leave the face very red, and possibly tender!
There are four bridesmaids - three are sisters of the bride who live out of town, and one is a friend who lives near the bride. So there is no way we could do it in advance. We won't get facials - good point about the redness thing. But we will get a massage, and get our nails done, and a pedicure. The bride isn't really a "girly girl" and may not have thought about scheduling her manicure.
I think we will stick to having just the bridesmaids and moms. If we don't get facials, it won't take up the whole day. That way the bride can have the rest of the day to do whatever she needs to do.

Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent 3 364 182 POLYMERHZA'I'ION 0F MliTHYL MET-EACRYLATE IN THE PRESENCE OF A PULYTHEGL Richard McDonald Grifiith, Rowayton, Conn., assiguor to American Cyanamid Company, Stamford, Comm, a
corporation of Maine No Drawing. Filed Oct. 7, 1965, Ser. No. 493,870 8 Claims. (Cl. 260-79) ABSTRACT GF THE DISCLGfiURE Polymers of methyl methacrylate have been produced according to many prior art methods. That is to say, methyl methacrylate has been homopolymerized and copolymerized to high molecular weight polymers by batch or continuous solvent, bulk, dispersion and emulsion procedures. Each of these methods results primarily in a satisfactory product. However, the processes for the production of these polymers are continually being investigated with the thought of improving the properties of the resultant polymers.
To this end, I have now f und that any of these prior art procedures can be modified so as to produce polymers of methyl methacrylate having properties superior to those polymers previously produced.
Chain transfer agents such as dodecyl mercaptan are usually utilized in order to decrease the molecular weight of a given polymer at a certain polymerization rate. The use of a polymercaptan according to my invention unexpectedly results in the opposite being achieved. That is to say, utilizing my method, residual thiol groups are attached to the resultant polymer chain thereby promoting heat stability and additionally enabling subsequent reactions of the polymer based on thiol reactivity, i.e. grafting reactions. Furthermore, my process achieves the general etfects derived with the use of monothiols (US. Patent No. 2,450,000) with an additional unexpected increase in molecular weight at an equivalent thiol group concentration. Therefore, the use of the polythiol allows modification of more polymer end groups than a monothiol at equal molecular weights and reaction rate in addition to increased heat stability. Also, the use of a polythiol permits increased rates of reaction, hence more economical processing at equal molecular weights. Surprisingly, my process enables an increase in molecular weight even above that when no thiol is used, thus producing a polymer not capable of being produced by prior methods at optimum molecular weight and reaction rate.
More precisely, for complete conversion and at constant conditions (composition, rates, temperature, etc.) the use of my process enables the production of a polymer having a molecular weight 25% higher than when no thiol is used, the concentration of polythiol being that at which the rate of transfer is equal to the rate of initiation. Furthermore, for varying conversion and varying thiol concentration, by controlling conversion the average number of residual thiols may be controlled and therefore the molecular weight.
It can therefore be seen, that the polythiol acts both as a. unit from which more than one polymer branch may grow and as a unit which shortens the length of the branch and alters its terminal structure. Molecular weight and rate of polymerization are therefore varied by varying the functionality of the thiol. By my process, I may therefore modify more end groups, i.e. increase heat stability or increase the rate of polymerization without reducing the molecular weight of the resultant polymer.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved process for the production of polymers of methyl methacrylate wherein the polymerization is conducted in the presence of a material which contains at least two mercaptan groups.
These and other objects will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the more detailed description set forth hereinbelow.
As mentioned above, any process for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate can be improved by the novel feature described above. That is to sa, polymers produced from methyl methacrylate, whether produced by bulk, solvent or emulsion procedures (continuous or batch) are improved in heat stability and/or molecular weight by the use of a polymercaptan additive during the production thereof.
A preferred process is the polymerization of methyl methacrylate at temperatures of 10 C. to 110 C. in the presence of a free-radical generating catalyst, with a solvent or emulsifier.
Examples of suitable catalysts include the organic peroxides such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, benzoyl peroxide; the hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide; the persulfate type compounds such as potassium sulfate, or materials such as azobisisobutyronitrile and the like. Additionally, I may use, such catalysts as lauroyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane, the diallcyl peroxides, e.g., diethyl peroxide, dipropyl peroxide, dilauryi peroxide, dioleyl peroxide, distearyl peroxide, di-(tertiary-butyl) peroxide and di-(tertiary-amyl) peroxide; the alkyl hydrogen peroxides, e.g., tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide, tertiary-amyl hydroperoxide, etc.; symmetrical diacyl peroxides, for instance, acetyl peroxide, propionyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, stearoyl peroxide, malonyl peroxide, succinyl peroxide, phthaloyl peroxide, unsymmetrical or mixed diacyl peroxides, e.g. acetyl benzoyl peroxide, propionyl benzoyl peroxide, etc.; terpene oxides, e.g. ascaridole, etc.; and salts of inorganic per-acids, e.g. ammonium persulfate, sodium persulfate, sodium percarbonate, potassium percarbonate, sodium perborate, potassium perborate, sodium perphosphate, potassium perphosphate, etc. Other examples of catalysts which may be employed are the following: tetralin hydroperoxide, tertiary-butyl diperphthalate, tertiary-butyl perbenzoate, 2,4-dichloro benzoyl peroxide, urea peroxide, caprylyl peroxide, p-chlorobenzoyl peroxide, 2,2-bis(tertiary-butylperoxy) butane, hydroxyheptyl peroxide, the diperoxide of benzaldehyde and the like. Generally the water-soluble, as well as the monomer-soluble, types of catalyst may be employed in amounts ranging from about 0.05 to 5.0 parts, by weight, of the monomer employed.
When emulsion polymerization processes are modified according to my improved process, any available emulsitier may be used, With compounds such as fatty acid soaps, rosin soaps, sodium lauryl sulfate; non-ionic emulsifiers such as polyethoxy alkylated phenols; compounds such as dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate and the like, in amounts known in the art, being exemplary.
The methyl methacrylate being reacted may be homoploymerized or copolymerized. That is to say, the methyl methacrylate may be used in amounts ranging from 50% to by weight, based on the weight of monomers, the remaining monomer, if any, ranging in concentration from up to about 50%, by Weight.
Examples of monomers which may be copolymerized with the methyl methacrylate and which may be concentration either singly or in a plurality (two, three, four or any desired number) are such monomers as the unsaturated alcohol esters, more particularly the allyl, methallyl, crotyl, vinyl, butenyl, etc., esters of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic monobasic and polybasic acids such, for instance, as acetic, propionic, butyric, crotonic, succinc, glutaric, adipic, maleic, fumaric, itaconic, benzoic, phthalic, terephthalic, etc., acids; the saturated monohydric alcohol esters, e.g., the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, etc., esters of ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic monobasic and polybasic acids, illustrative examples of which appear above; vinyl cyclic compounds (including monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbons), e.g., styrene, o-, m-, and p-chlorostyrenes, -bromostyrenes, -fluorostyrenes, -methylstyrenes, -ethylstyrenes, -cyanostyrenes, the various poly-substituted styrenes such, for example, as the various di-, tri-, and tetra-chlorostyrenes, .bromostyrenes, -fluorostyrenes, -methylstyrenes, -ethylstyrenes, -'cyanostyrenes, etc., vinyl pyridine, divinyl benzene, diallyl benzene, the various alpha substituted styrenes and alpha substituted ring-substituted styrenes, e.g., alpha-methyl styrene, valpha-methyl-para-methyl styrene, etc.; unsatu rated ethers, e.g., ethyl vinyl ether, diallyl ether, etc. unsaturated amides, for instance, N-allyl caprolactam, acrylamide, and N-substituted acrylamides, e.g., N-methylol acrylarnide, N-allyl acrylamide, etc.; unsaturated ketones, e.g., methyl vinyl ketone, etc.; the alkyl acrylates such as ethyl acrylate, etc.; acrylonitrile, ethylene and the like.
Other examples of monomers that can be copolymerized with the methyl methacrylate are the vinyl halides, more particularlyvinyl fluoride, vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide and vinyl iodide, and the various vinylidene compounds, including the vinylidene halides, e.g., vinylidene chloride, vinylidene bromide, vinylidene fluoride and vinylidene iodide.
When a solvent system is used, such solvents as benzene, toluene, xylene, aliphatic esters, naphthalene, tri chlorobenzene, dimethylformamide, and the like, are exemplary.
Any material which contains at least two mercaptan groups may be utilized according to our novel process. Examples of useful materials include trimethylolethane tris (3-mercaptopropionate), pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate), dithiolterephthalic acid, glycol dimercaptoacetate, glycol dimercaptopropionate, pentaerythritol tetrathioglycolate, trimethylolethane tn'thioglycolate, trimethylolpropane tris(3-methcaptopropionate), trimethylolpropane trithioglycolate and the like.
The polythiol should be utilized in concentrations ranging from about 0.05% to 1.0%, preferably 0.1% to 0.9%,
by weight, based on the weight of the monomer or monomers undergoing polymerization.
The following examples are set forth for purposes of illustration only and are not to be construed as limitations on the instant invention except as set forth in the appended claims. All parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified.
Example 1 To a suitable reaction vessel equipped with stirrer and baflles are added:
700 parts of methyl methacrylate,
21 parts of ethyl acrylate,
7 parts of stearyl alcohol,
1.4 parts of azobisisobutyronitrile, and
0.2% of pentacrythritol tet1'a( 3-mercaptopropionate) [thiol concentration-1.6 moles/10 gm.]

31 parts of 1% solution of poly(sodium methacrylate),
2 parts of Na i-IP0 (anh.)
heat stability. The inherent viscosity is 0.75 as measured in benzene at 23 and the melt index is .13.
The heat stability test is conducted as follows: A portion of the beads are placed in a suitable container, flushed with nitrogen and sealed. The container is heated to 280 C. for minutes and then thrust into a mixture of Dry Ice and acetone for 15 minutes. The container is then opened and 10 parts of chloroform are added. The resultant material is then subjected to vapor phase chromatography. According to this test, 2.9% of methyl methacrylate is shown.
Following the procedure of Example 1, various thiols are utilized during the methyl methacrylate polymerization in varying concentrations. The results are set forth in Table I, below.

Debt Equity Calculator Wacc document sample
CHAPTER 9 The Cost of Capital Cost of Capital Components Debt Preferred Common Equity WACC What types of long-term capital do firms use? Long-term debt Preferred stock Common equity Capital components are sources of funding that come from investors. Accounts payable, accruals, and deferred taxes are not sources of funding that come from investors, so they are not included in the calculation of the cost of capital. We do adjust for these items when calculating the cash flows of a project, but not when calculating the cost of capital. Should we focus on before-tax or after-tax capital costs? Tax effects associated with financing can be incorporated either in capital budgeting cash flows or in cost of capital. Most firms incorporate tax effects in the cost of capital. Therefore, focus on after-tax costs. Only cost of debt is affected. Should we focus on historical (embedded) costs or new (marginal) costs? The cost of capital is used primarily to make decisions which involve raising and investing new capital. So, we should focus on marginal costs. Cost of Debt Method 1: Ask an investment banker what the coupon rate would be on new debt. Method 2: Find the bond rating for the company and use the yield on other bonds with a similar rating. Method 3: Find the yield on the company's debt, if it has any. A 15-year, 12% semiannual bond sells for $1,153.72. What's rd? 0 1 2 30 i=? ... -1,153.72 60 60 60 + 1,000 Solve using the YIELD function in Excel, or the RATE function in Excel, or using a financial calculator. Component Cost of Debt Interest is tax deductible, so the after tax (AT) cost of debt is: rd AT = rd BT(1 - T) = 10%(1 - 0.40) = 6%. Use nominal rate. Flotation costs small, so ignore. What's the cost of preferred stock? PP = $113.10; 10%Q; Par = $100; F = $2. Use this formula: D ps 0 .1 ($ 100 ) rps = = Pn $ 113 .10 − $ 2 .00 $ 10 = = 0 .090 = 9 .0 %. $ 111 .10 Picture of Preferred – assuming dividends are paid out quarterly 0 rps = ? 1 2 ∞ ... -111.1 2.50 2.50 2.50 DQ $2.50 $111.10 = = . rPer rPer $2.50 rPer = = 2.25%; rps ( Nom ) = 2.25%(4) = 9%. $111.10 Note: Flotation costs for preferred are significant, so are reflected. Use net price. Preferred dividends are not deductible, so no tax adjustment. Just rps. Nominal rps is used. Is preferred stock more or less risky to investors than debt? More risky; company not required to pay preferred dividend. However, firms want to pay preferred dividend. Otherwise, (1) cannot pay common dividend, (2) difficult to raise additional funds, and (3) in some cases, preferred stockholders may gain control of firm. Why is yield on preferred lower than rd? Preferred dividends are not tax deductible, so while they often have a lower B-T yield than the B-T yield on debt, the A-T yield to investors and A-T cost to the issuer are higher on preferred than on debt, which is consistent with the higher risk of preferred. What are the two ways that companies can raise common equity? Directly, by issuing new shares of common stock. Indirectly, by reinvesting earnings that are not paid out as dividends (i.e., retaining earnings). Why is there a cost for reinvested earnings? Earnings can be reinvested or paid out as dividends. Investors could buy other securities, earn a return. Thus, there is an opportunity cost if earnings are reinvested. Opportunity cost: The return stockholders could earn on alternative investments of equal risk. They could buy similar stocks and earn rs, or company could repurchase its own stock and earn rs. So, rs, is the cost of reinvested earnings and it is the cost of equity. Three ways to determine the cost of equity, rs: 1. CAPM: rs = rRF + (rM - rRF)b = rRF + (RPM)b. 2. DCF: rs = D1/P0 + g. 3. Own-Bond-Yield-Plus-Risk Premium: rs = rd + Bond RP. What's the cost of equity based on the CAPM? rRF = 7%, RPM = 6%, b = 1.2. rs = rRF + (rM - rRF )b. = 7.0% + (6.0%)1.2 = 14.2%. What's the DCF cost of equity, rs? Given: D0 = $4.19;P0 = $50; g = 5%. D1 D (1 + g ) rs = +g= 0 +g P0 P0 $4.19(105) . = + 0.05 $50 = 0.088 + 0.05 = 13.8%. Estimating the Growth Rate Use the historical earnings growth rate if you believe the future will be like the past. Obtain analysts' estimates: Value Line, Zack's, Yahoo Finance, MSN. Use the earnings retention model, illustrated on next slide. Suppose the company has been earning 15% on equity (ROE = 15%) and retaining 35% (dividend payout = 65%), and this situation is expected to continue. What's the expected future g? Retention growth rate: g = ROE(Retention rate) g = 0.15(.35) = 5.25%. This is close to g = 5% given earlier. Could DCF methodology be applied if g is not constant? YES, nonconstant g stocks are expected to have constant g at some point. You can use the two and three-stage growth models we used when working through Chapter 7 (Valuing Stocks). Find rs using the own-bond-yield- plus-risk-premium method. (rd = 10%, RP = 4%.) rs = rd + RP = 10.0% + 4.0% = 14.0% This RP ≠ CAPM RPM. Produces ballpark estimate of rs. (usually analysts use a risk premium of 3-5%). What's a reasonable final estimate of rs? Method Estimate CAPM 14.2% DCF 13.8% rd + RP 14.0% Average 14.0% Which Method is Best? The results of the three methods should be reasonably consistent, however, if they vary wildly, a financial analyst would have to make a judgment call as to which measure is most reasonable. CAPM is the most widely used measure. DCF is the next most popular method, and the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method is the least popular, primarily being used by non-public companies. As we will see when we talk about capital structure, each firm has an optimum capital structure, defined as a mix of debt, preferred, and common equity that results in maximization of its stock price. So, a firm will establish an optimal capital structure and then raise new capital to keep its capital structure on target. Here we assume that the firm has identified its optimal capital structure (it's taken as exogenous). Determining the Weights for the WACC The weights are the percentages of the firm that will be financed by each component. If possible, always use the target weights for the percentages of the firm that will be financed with the various types of capital. Estimating Weights for the Capital Structure If you don't know the targets, it is better to estimate the weights using current market values than current book values. If you don't know the market value of debt, then it is usually reasonable to use the book values of debt, especially if the debt is short-term. (More...) Estimating Weights (Continued) Suppose the stock price is $50, there are 3 million shares of stock, the firm has $25 million of preferred stock, and $75 million of debt. (More...) Vce = $50 (3 million) = $150 million. Vps = $25 million. Vd = $75 million. Total value = $150 + $25 + $75 = $250 million. wce = $150/$250 = 0.6 wps = $25/$250 = 0.1 wd = $75/$250 = 0.3 What's the WACC? WACC = wdrd(1 - T) + wpsrps + wcers = 0.3(10%)(0.6) + 0.1(9%) + 0.6(14%) = 1.8% + 0.9% + 8.4% = 11.1%. WACC Estimates for Some Large U. S. Corporations Company WACC wd Intel (INTC) 16.0 2.0% Dell Computer (DELL 12.5 9.1% BellSouth (BLS) 10.3 39.8% Wal-Mart (WMT) 8.8 33.3% Walt Disney (DIS) 8.7 35.5% Coca-Cola (KO) 6.9 33.8% H.J. Heinz (HNZ) 6.5 74.9% Georgia-Pacific (GP) 5.9 69.9% What factors influence a company's WACC? Market conditions, especially interest rates and tax rates. The firm's capital structure and dividend policy. The firm's investment policy. Firms with riskier projects generally have a higher WACC. Should the company use the composite WACC as the hurdle rate for each of its divisions? NO! The composite WACC reflects the risk of an average project undertaken by the firm. Different divisions may have different risks. The division's WACC should be adjusted to reflect the division's risk and capital structure. What procedures are used to determine the risk-adjusted cost of capital for a particular division? Estimate the cost of capital that the division would have if it were a stand-alone firm. This requires estimating the division's beta, cost of debt, and capital structure. Methods for Estimating Beta for a Division or a Project 1. Pure play. Find several publicly traded companies exclusively in project's business. Use average of their betas as proxy for project's beta. Hard to find such companies. 2. Accounting beta. Run regression between project's ROA and S&P index ROA. Accounting betas are correlated (0.5 – 0.6) with market betas. But normally can't get data on new projects' ROAs until after the capital budgeting decision (after the cost of capital is calculated) has been made. Find the division's market risk and cost of capital based on the CAPM, given these inputs: Target debt ratio = 10%. rd = 12%. rRF = 7%. Tax rate = 40%. betaDivision = 1.7. Market risk premium = 6%. Beta = 1.7, so division has more market risk than average. Division's required return on equity: rs = rRF + (rM – rRF)bDiv. = 7% + (6%)1.7 = 17.2%. WACCDiv. = wdrd(1 – T) + wcrs = 0.1(12%)(0.6) + 0.9(17.2%) = 16.2%. How does the division's WACC compare with the firm's overall WACC? Division WACC = 16.2% versus company WACC = 11.1%. "Typical" projects within this division would be accepted if their returns are above 16.2%. Divisional Risk and the Cost of Capital R a te o f R e tu r n (% ) A c c e p t a n c e R e g io n W ACC W ACCH H A R e je c t io n R e g io n W ACC A B W ACCL L R is k 0 R is k L R is k A R is k H What are the three types of project risk? Stand-alone risk Corporate risk Market risk How is each type of risk used? Stand-alone risk is easiest to calculate. Market risk is theoretically best in most situations. However, creditors, customers, suppliers, and employees are more affected by corporate risk. Therefore, corporate risk is also relevant. Why is the cost of internal equity from reinvested earnings cheaper than the cost of issuing new common stock? 1. When a company issues new common stock they also have to pay flotation costs to the underwriter. 2. Issuing new common stock may send a negative signal to the capital markets, which may depress stock price. Comments about flotation costs: Flotation costs depend on the risk of the firm and the type of capital being raised. The flotation costs are highest for common equity. However, since most firms issue equity infrequently, the per- project cost is fairly small. We will frequently ignore flotation costs when calculating the WACC. Four Mistakes to Avoid 1. When estimating the cost of debt, don't use the coupon rate on existing debt. Use the current interest rate on new debt. (More ...) 2. Don't use book weights to estimate the weights for the capital structure. Use the target capital structure to determine the weights. If you don't know the target weights, then use the current market value of equity, and never the book value of equity. If you don't know the market value of debt, then the book value of debt often is a reasonable approximation, especially for short-term debt. (More...) 3. Always remember that capital components are sources of funding that come from investors. Accounts payable, accruals, and deferred taxes are not sources of funding that come from investors, so they are not included in the calculation of the WACC. We do adjust for these items when calculating the cash flows of the project, but not when calculating the WACC.

Of the new offerings, DreamWorks Animation's Christmas-themed toon Rise of the Guardians has the best shot of coming in at No. 2. Last year, Disney's The Muppets grossed $41.5 million during the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, and tracking suggests that Rise of the Guardians will land in that range, though distributor Paramount is offering a more conservative estimate.
Rise of the Guardians, costing $145 million to make, is the final DWA pic that Paramount will distribute before its new deal with Fox kicks in.
While Rise of the Guardians could score one of the lowest openings for a DWA title, Paramount believes the 3D toon will have a strong hold through Christmas and New Year's since there's no other animated family pic in sight.
Directed by Peter Ramsey, Rise of the Guardians is based on William Joyce's The Guardians of Childhood book series, about how childhood holiday heroes are charged with protecting the world from evil.
In the film, Jack Frost, voiced by Chris Pine, is enlisted by the guardians to stop the villain Pitch, voiced by Jude Law. Alec Baldwin voices Santa Claus, Hugh Jackman the Easter Bunny and Isla Fisher the Tooth Fairy.

Rise of the Guardians could have to compete with James Bond pic Skyfall for No. 2. Skyfall, the most successful Bond film worldwide, has grossed $165 million in North America.
Ang Lee awards contender Life of Pi is a pricey gamble for Fox, costing a reported $120 million to make (the studio says the number was slightly less than that). Many thought it was impossible to adapt Yan Martel's prize-winning novel about an Indian boy lost at sea with a Bengal tiger.
Tracking suggests that Life of Pi will post a modest five-day opening in the $15 million to $20 million range, putting it in direct competition with MGM and FilmDistrict's Red Dawn and Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, which enters its second weekend in nationwide release.
Fox insiders say Life of Pi, from the studio's Fox 2000 division, is a unique project that will play to audiences of all ages throughout the holidays and was a creative risk worth taking. Life of Pi, starring Suraj Sharma in his first acting role, is rated PG in the U.S.
But while Life of Pi has received strong reviews from a majority of critics, tracking has been soft for the film domestically, putting increased pressure on the movie's international performance. Life of Pi also opens in Taiwan -- where Lee was born -- as well as in China, Hong Kong, India and Puerto Rico.

Red Dawn, a remake of John Milius' 1980s cult classic, has been sitting on the shelf since 2009, its release delayed by MGM's financial woes. FilmDistrict acquired rights to release the film last year.
Several of the movie's stars -- including Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson -- weren't known at the time of production but have since shot to fame. Red Dawn also stars Adrianne Palicki, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Isabel Lucas and Connor Cruise.
Directed by Dan Bradley, Red Dawn features a group of young American patriots who try to save their city from enemy occupation by foreign forces. Originally, the enemies were Chinese, but the film was altered to change the villains to North Koreans so as to not hurt the movie's chances in China.
Among more limited Thanksgiving releases, David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook expands into a total of 367 theaters Wednesday after opening last weekend in 16 to modest results. The Weinstein Co. was originally going to open the critically acclaimed film nationwide Wednesday but scaled back in a bid to grow the movie through word-of-mouth.
Silver Linings, also an awards contender, stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver.
Opening Friday at the specialty box office are awards contenders Rust and Bone, from Sony Pictures Classics and starring Marion Cottilard, and Hitchcock, the Fox Searchlight film starring Anthony Hopkins as the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock and Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's wife, Alma.

Style, handling, winter driving
repairs but costs can be suprisingly reasonable with a good indy garage and Passat parts.
Superb Daily (work) Driver For 13 Years — This 1998 Audi A6 has been my daily driver as a Real Estate Agent in Canada since I purchased as a 2 years old (lease back) in 2000 for $35,000 CAD. I had driven Acura's up to that point but fell in love with the Audi's (unusual) interior colour, handling and style. Since I purchased it in Winter, I quickly fell in love with the all weel drive system. Needless to say, given the 200,000+ KM I have put on this car, I have generally loved it. However, you can't drive an aging German luxury car without a little hate in your heart. On average, to maintain this car in top shape, I have spend $1,500 a year for the last 5 years, a surprising amount of that on tires (heavy car). Parts sourced through my mechanic are quite cheap since the Audi has benefited by the long and continued use of this platform by VW. The car is in the shop a couple of times per year over the last 5 mostly with replacing aging plastic hoses and chasing down oil leaks. Not terrible perhaps for a 14 year old car but painful since I'm stuck driving my wife's (boring) Toyota. I have now purchased a newer A6 (2-14) but still use this car for personal use at it fits like an old glove. As you may have seen from the pictures, have also attempted to keep this car up to date with modern electronics, while keeping the beautiful stock look of the interior, which I feel remains it's strongest feature. I have added a Phatbox 120GB music system, Garmin Nuvi 7690 and XM radio (professionally installed). I feel this car still compares well with anything on the road less than $40K, and I still get constant compliments on it as I drive customers around! In summary, a well maintained late model A6 C5 platform is an excellent investment for a relatively inexpensive German luxury vehicle - but find a good mechanic to check it out carefully and be ready for some frustrations along with your smooth daily drive.
Primary Use: Family transportation

heated everything, the uv protected windows, longevity, and almost everything
the oxidization of the tinted mirrors, but i bought a new mirror from the dealer for $35 and its heated!
Best Car Ever Owned — long lasting...i was at 365000km when the origional bearing on the rear tire decided to break.... it made a small squeeling noise that i just worte off due to the cold weather well i drove it for about a month and a half and finally when it became too loud and we replaced it, the bearing ran with no grease for over 4 weeks and over 10000km!!!!! lets see a honda do that! anyways when we went to replace it my mechanic (who works on domestic and foriegn) said to me, i've never seen anything like it! all the bolts still had thier rust proofing, all the bolts came out without a fuss, except a bushing got in the way... he says the whole knucle on most cars would have been a mess where as all of the BOLTS were still in perfect shape.. the car is rolling up to 400000 and it still makes it up to 200km/hr and not a single speck of rust!

Fun to drive, great interior, handles amazingly, lots of interior room, large trunk
Expensive to repair, not easy to work on yourself
I Love This Car And Would Buy Another Audi Again In A Heartbeat — I love this car. Best car i have owned to date. Great car to drive around town and very comfortable for long road trips. Car has plenty of power and loves to go fast, and believe me it does. The handling is phenominal and takes corners like a champ. The interior quality is second to none for cars of that year and comes loaded with plenty of features to make drving fun and easy.

Luxury, Power, Stability, what else would one want?
Gas milage
Its An Audi, If You Can Afford One You Will Love It! — Performance: Quick acceleration, great stopping power, and german touring car handling Build Quality: at 160,000 miles all it needs is control arm bushings Appearance: Few dents and scratches, interior still in top notch shape Cost of Ownership: V6 with full time AWD gas milage is my only complaint Fun Factor: Very fun car with amazing luxury

Rock steady
high maintenance
Great Car — Best car I ever owned. It is really now fully broken in. Smooth and quiet even after over 100000 miles. There are a few problems. The heated steering wheel no longer works and the engine light is permanently on. It can still get 30 mph on the highway.
Primary Use: Family transportation

expensive to fix/breaks a lot
Stick With Benz — rides like a couch but somthing new breaks every day. they have hardened plastic vacuum lines that break and are impossible to track causing vac. leaks. no turbo with this year sucks. interior is very comfortable. overall, stick with benz, audi breaks too much

Marantz VP-15S1 1080p Single-Chip DLP Projector
- Written by Kris Deering
- Published on 18 January 2008
The Marantz VP11S1 is one of the best projectors I've had the opportunity to review. It recently won our Secrets Best of 2007 award in the projector category, and in my opinion is still one of the best reference projectors on the market today. But the 11S1 does come with a steep price tag compared to a lot of the 1080p projectors on the market. Well, Marantz decided to trim the design down just a touch and bring most of what made the 11S1 such a great design into a more affordable package, the VP15S1. I think you will be very interested to see what I found . . .
Panasonic PT-AX200U 720p LCD Projector
- Written by John E. Johnson, Jr.
- Published on 15 January 2008
The Panasonic PT-AX200U is a three-panel LCD projector with 720p resolution, priced at $1,999, and you can get it for a lot less at ProjectorPeople.com. Although 720p is not as high a resolution as 1080i (converts to 1080p by the projector), the difference is minimal depending on how large your screen is and how far away you sit. So, if you can't afford to go all the way to a native 1920x1080 projector, this is a good choice.

Film Festival Kino Pavasaris Kicks Off In Lithuanian Capital Vilnius
MOSCOW -- On March 17, the 16th edition of the International Film Festival Kino Pavasaris is to open in Lithuania's capital Vilnius, featuring more than 130 films from around the globe.
This year's festival's theme has been named "Kino Pavasaris without cliches."
Eleven films from Eastern and Central Europe are to compete in the section "New Europe -- New Names."
The international jury presided by Macedonian writer and director Milcho Manchevski is to award one film with the main prize and two more with special prizes.
Among the section's highlights are the Hungarian/Polish production A zold sįrkįny gyermekei (Children of Green Dragon), directed by Bence Miklauzic, Zena sa slomljenim nosem (Woman With A Broken Nose) by Serbian director Srdjan Koljevic and the Czech/Slovak movie Dom (The House), directed by Zuzana Liova.
The section "Horizons" will consist of 54 movies that have already been screened at other festivals. They will compete for the audiences' award.
The festival is also to feature a documentary program, a program of Lithuanian films consisting of 37 films, of which 13 are to be premieres, and retrospectives of Korean director Kim Ki-duk and Lithuanian director Sarunas Bartas.
The festival's awards are to be handed out at a closing ceremony scheduled for March 31.

Service workers such as waitresses, bartenders, fast food servers, etc. are considered to be entry-level workers and paid only minimum wage. These workers are expected to spend half of their waking hours serving the business. This minimum wage is not adequate to provide for subsistence living for the individual. The concept of minimum wage should be reconsidered. After all, these employees are also part of the business. And the business need not gather such huge profits at the expense of the employees .
