The market value of Lotle Group is $ 83.53.

Explanation:

The market value of Lotle Group can be calculated by dividing the perpetual net operating income (EBIT) with company WAAC. Detail calculation is given below.

MW = EBIT/WAAC = $ 9/10.775% = $ 83.53

WAAC Calculation

WAAC = 14% * (50/80) % + 9% (0.60) (30/80)

WAAC = 8.75% + 2.025% = 10.775%
