    b. Hilton should purchase the resort, but Marriott should not.

    Explanation:

    given data

    Resort sale = $400 million

    free cash flow = $45 million

    time = 20 year

    return = 8%

    risk-free rate = 2%

    Hilton beta = 1.1

    Marriott beta = 1.3

    solution

    we get here first NPV of the resort when the cost of capital is

    Re = risk-free rate + beta (Rm - Rf) ... 1

    Re = 2 + 1.1 (8 - 2)

    Re = 8.6%

    and

    The NPV will be as

    cash flow to free cash flow is = 45 million

    so NPV is $22.767

    and

    as that at cost of capital of 9.8%,

    The NPV will be

    NPV = $11.6011

    so we can say that Hilton should pursue the project due to the positive NPV

    but due to the negative NPV here Marriott should not pursue the project.
