As discussed in the previous question, the United Kingdom telecommunications company BT Group plc paid \(£ 12.5\) billion to acquire the telecommunications company EE Limited in January 2016. EE had reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of \(£ 1,781\) million for 2015. Assuming that EE can maintain this earnings flow indefinitely, would it have been worthwhile for BT to acquire it if the real interest rate was \(7 \%\) ? Why?
