    Hi thank you for nice video. 7 years ago I had market sizing question from a consulting company. It was exactly the same questions but the sales in my country. I did the approach you mentioned. However, the interviewer keep questioning me where do you get the population number? Where did you get 75% assumptions? What is the reason behind that 75%? And basically he keep questioning the validity behind the assumptions. So i am wondering how exactly do we need to answer it?

    The answer to Q5 is wrong. The WACC for the larger company would be higher. Since it states that all other things remain equal, the cost of debt, cost of equity, tax and the debt of both firms remain the same. Therefore, since it is generally true that debt is cheaper than equity and the more expensive equity now carries a larger weight in the larger company, the WACC would be higher.

    For Q5 should the WACC be higher for a 100 million company or a 100 billion company. I see where your answer is coming from but isn't assuming a risk comes from market cap alone lacks depth? Like for example TSLA has a huge market cap but Ford is a less risky company (according to beta at least)? I might be missing something - Love the video!

    I think the top-down approach for the # of cups of Starbucks sold a day is too optimistic, or simplistic, as it has ignored affordability and propensity to spend on coffee. I would go bottom-up, looking at capacity and how fast it can sell. Assuming that a typical outlet is able to dish out 2 cups every 5 minutes, thus making it 2X12x15(hr/day)x5000(outlets)=1.8m cups a day. I’ll Google and share the result if I can find.the answer, I’ll provide it here. Or if anyone has the answer, please kindly share. Thanks.

    • @frankmuller0.029

      Ok, turned out I was wrong and too conservative, as Google says "According to a USA Today Article dated 2006, they sell over 4 Million cups of coffee a day.17 Jan 2011”. So, the guy in the video was spot on!

    Don't rreally agree wiith the wacc question. I suppose, yes the larger company will have lower default ratios per Damodaran datasets. But, things like cash and near cash equivalents will affect the lowering of beta more. Ceteris paribus - the larger company will have lower default ratios in the dataset of other similar companies..
