What are some advantages of the subjective approach to determining the cost of capital and why do you think that approach is utilized?
The subjective approach allows management to adjust a firm's overall cost of capital for individual divisions based upon its evaluation of the risks associated with each division as compared to the overall risk level of the firm. This risk adjustment is based on the wisdom, knowledge, and experiences of the managers. To try and determine a more accurate estimate of the appropriate discount rate might encounter costs that would outweigh any potential benefit. Thus, the subjective approach is useful because it adjusts discount rates in a cost effective and efficient manner.

What role does the weighted average cost of capital play when determining a project's cost of capital?
Assuming a project is equally as risky as a firm's current operations, WACC will be used as the discount rate when computing the NPV of the project. Therefore, having an accurate WACC is essential to correctly evaluating the project. If a project has a different risk level than the firm's current operations, then the firm's WACC should be adjusted in accordance with the project's risk or in some instances, a different firm's WACC should be applied as the discount rate for the project.
Stock repurchase programs appear to becoming more popular with business firms. Explain the appeal of these programs as compared to that of cash dividend programs from the stock issuer's point of view.
Both stock repurchase and cash dividend programs are mechanisms for transferring excess funds from a corporation to its shareholders. Dividend programs, once commenced, require an ongoing cash outflow that is difficult to reduce or terminate. Stock repurchase programs on the other hand, are structured such that a firm can control both the timing and the amount of the cash outflows. While a stock repurchase program is frequently announced, there is no commitment to actually purchase the shares. This provides a lot more flexibility to the firm than a dividend program.
Which of the following tend to keep dividends low? I. shareholders desiring current income II. terms contained in bond indenture agreements III. the desire to maintain constant dividends over time IV. flotation costs
C. II, III, and IV only
Explain how cash dividends affect individual shareholders differently than an equal amount of funds spent on a repurchase.
Dividends are payable to all shareholders on an equal per share basis with the income taxed as dividend income when received. Shareholders have no control over the timing of this dividend income and thus, no control over the timing of their tax liability. A repurchase affects only those shareholders who opt to sell shares. The shareholders who participate in a repurchase will generally pay taxes at the capital gains rate with the tax liability created at the time of sale, which is controlled by the shareholder. Shareholders who do not participate in the repurchase program receive no cash and incur no taxes. Thus, a repurchase allows shareholders to control the timing of their income and their related tax liability. Also, it should be noted that investor preferences for either dividends or capital gains depends upon the tax laws that are in existence at a particular point in time

Firms will correctly accept or reject every project if they adopt the subjective approach. D.

Overall, a firm makes better decisions when it uses the subjective approach than when it uses its WACC as the discount rate for all projects.
Identify some real-world factors which might make it more difficult for an individual to effectively create a homemade dividend policy
Students should address factors such as taxes, transaction costs, and investment earnings. If selling $100 of securities is not equal to receiving $100 of dividend income on an aftertax basis, then investors will have a preference for one over the other. Selling small amounts of securities on a frequent basis tends to result in significant transaction costs making such trading undesirable. Receiving dividend income today and then investing that income for a short period of time, say a year or two, may yield less than desirable results if the interest rate available for such investments is low, which would generally be the case for many shareholders. Thus, effectively creating a homemade dividend policy may not be as simple as it sounds, especially for investors with smaller portfolios.
The present value of the interest tax shield is expressed as:
Tc × D.
Which one of the following statements is correct for a firm that uses debt in its capital structure?
The WACC should decrease as the firm's debt-equity ratio increases
Pete is the CFO of Dexter International. He would like to increase the debt-equity ratio of the firm but is concerned that the firm's shareholders may not be willing to accept additional financial leverage. Pete has come to you for advice. What is your recommendation?
The capital structure of the firm is irrelevant to the shareholders because they can use homemade leverage to adjust their exposure to financial leverage to whatever level they prefer. Thus, Pete can increase the debt-equity ratio of the firm if he feels it is in the best interest of the firm to do so.
Which one of the following statements related to the SML approach to equity valuation is correct? Assume the firm uses debt in its capital structure.

Explain the meaning of the dividend clientele effect and why it is important
There are certain groups that prefer low dividend payouts and certain groups that prefer high dividend payouts; these are dividend clienteles. If clienteles exist, then whenever a firm changes its dividend policy, it just swaps one clientele for another. In the end, the firm cannot affect its value by making changes in its dividend policy unless there are unsatisfied clienteles.

In each of the theories of capital structure, the cost of equity increases as the amount of debt increases. So why don't financial managers use as little debt as possible to keep the cost of equity down? After all, aren't financial managers supposed to maximize the value of a firm?
This question requires students to differentiate between the cost of equity and the weighted average cost of capital. In fact, it gets to the essence of capital structure theory: the firm trades off higher equity costs for lower debt costs. The shareholders benefit (to a point, according to the static theory) because their investment in the firm is leveraged, enhancing the return on their investment. Thus, even though the cost of equity rises, the overall cost of capital declines (again, up to a point according to the static theory) and firm value rises.
Based on the M & M propositions with and without taxes, how much time should a financial manager spend analyzing the capital structure of a firm? What if the analysis is based on the static theory?
Under either M & M scenario, a financial manager should not spend time analyzing the firm's capital structure. With no taxes, capital structure is irrelevant. With taxes, M & M says a firm will maximize its value by using 100 percent debt. In both cases, the manager has nothing to decide. With the static theory, however, the manager must determine the optimal amount of debt and equity by analyzing the tradeoff between the benefits of the interest tax shield versus the financial distress costs. Finding the optimal capital structure is challenging in this case.
Suppose your boss comes to you and asks you to re-evaluate a capital budgeting project. The first evaluation was in error, he explains, because it ignored flotation costs. To correct for this, he asks you to evaluate the project using a higher cost of capital which incorporates these costs. Is your boss' approach correct? Why or why not?
Your boss is confused since it is the use of funds, and not the source of funds, that determines the cost of capital. Flotation costs should be included in the initial cash flow of a project and not in the cost of capital.
All else constant, which one of the following will increase a firm's cost of equity if the firm computes that cost using the security market line approach? Assume the firm currently pays an annual dividend of $1 a share and has a beta of 1.2.

Assume the current tax laws are such that Steve is subject to a tax rate of 25 percent on both his dividend income and his capital gains.
