I like how the conclusions never are conclusions

@jbhalloran528 Год назад

Is it recommended to still walk through the math out loud even if the calculations were fairly easy as in this video?

@1Piece_Luffy 11 месяцев назад

Yes. Read out the name of the costs first so that your initial equation can be checked with the interviewer. However, I usually ask, "Can I finish the computation and tell you the answer?" This is usually okay and desirable.

@razni06 7 месяцев назад

can someone explain how she came up with the 10 millions costs from the chart ?

@IROCK1900 5 месяцев назад

the difference in marketing and sales cost between philly and league is 10 million (180 million for Philly and 170 million for league), using comp as bench mark there is potential room to lower cost down to league teams marketing and sales

@reemfahim1798 Год назад

how can u simply add the synergies to 10% and apply it to the total revenue !!! shouldn't each revenue stream be calculated separately taking into consideration the respective increase % due to the synergies .. i would still give the same recommendations as the candidate to go for the investment because the snergies increased the value above the investment, but the amount is definitely different than what she calculated

@ryanallred9800 10 месяцев назад

you are so right. I thought the same thing!

@dasfreutmich1 10 месяцев назад

I agree. Revenue by synergy calculation is incorrect. those percentages should have been applied individually to each revenue stream and then all updated revenue streams should have been added up

@erere9724 10 месяцев назад

@@dasfreutmich1 The label on the chart shows that the percentages represent potential to boost TOTAL revnue.

@@erere9724 Ohhh Did not notice that, that actually saves a lot of time of the calculation. Thanks for the clarification

@razni06 7 месяцев назад

did you by any chance understand how she calculated the 10 millions of costs when analysing that chart ?

Can someone further explain the discount rate?

@clintonng7086 Год назад

Yeah the overall case was easy to follow except this

@sofiadobbertin5214 11 месяцев назад

I think it's about calculating the current value of the company. I.e. they assume that the baseball team will also make 100 million in profit in the future. But 100 million in the future has a different value today, therefore the discount rate is applied to it. 100 million divided by 0.1 gives 1 billion. So the investment today is worth 1 billion.

@sofiadobbertin5214 11 месяцев назад

Please correct me if I'm wrong lol

@1Piece_Luffy 11 месяцев назад

In the industry, we use the term "multiple" because, as you said, the term discount rate can be misleading. In this case, I would've asked "What is the multiple I can use? x10?". This basically means that the life expected of an asset is 10 years, adjusted to the time value of money or whatsoever. It is a powerful benchmark to easily derive a firm's value.

@dasfreutmich1 10 месяцев назад

@@sofiadobbertin5214 Shouldnt Future Value be divided by (1+r) and not r if you are trying calculate the present value? The direct division by 10% was confusing to me.
