The Yurdone Corporation wants to set up a private cemetery business. The cemetery project will provide a net cash inflow of $97,000 for the firm during the first year, and the cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 4 percent per year forever. The project requires an initial investment of $1,500,000. If Yurdone requires an 11 percent return on such undertakings, should the cemetery business be started? The company is somewhat unsure about the assumption of a 4 percent growth rate in its cash flows. At what constant growth rate would the company just break even if it still required an 11 percent return on investment?

. The Veblen Company and the Knight Company are identical in every respect except that Veblen is not levered. Veblen has projected EBIT of $500,000 and a market value of stock of $3.1M. Knight has projected EBIT of $500,000, interest expense of $78,000, market value of stock of $2.05M, and market value of debt of $1.3M. All earnings are in perpetuity, and neither firm pays taxes. Both firms distribute all earnings available to common stockholders immediately. An investor who can borrow at 6 percent per year wishes to purchase 5 percent of Knight's equity. Can he increase his dollar return by purchasing 5 percent of Veblen's equity if he borrows so that the initial net costs of the strategies are the same? Given the two investment strategies, which will the investor choose? When will this process cease?
Let's begin by looking at the big picture. We are in a world without taxes and the two firms differ only by their capital structure. M&M I states that VK should equal VV , however this equality does not hold, VK = 2.05+ 1.3 ̸= 3.1 = VV . It must be the case that some mispricing exists in the equity markets. Can you identify it? First, note that 5% of Knight's equity is $2.05M ×.05 = $102500, while 5% of Veblen's equity is $3.1M×.05 = $155000. In order for the initial costs to be equal, the investor needs to borrow $52500 at 6%. The cash flow from Knight is .05(500000 − 78000) = $21100, while the cash flow from Veblen after the investor's interest expense is .05(500000) − .06(52500) = $21850. The investor will choose the position with the highest cash flow, which is the position in Veblen. This preference will put upward price pressure on Veblen's equity and downward price pressure on Knight's equity until the cash flows (i.e., the returns of the levered and unlevered positions) are equalized.

Capital structure
amount of debt and equity a firm uses as its sources of capital
difficulties with stock valuation
cf not known in advance earnings split between reinvestment and dividends and ROR not observable no maturity date

discount to par
If the coupon rate and the discount rate are equal, then the bond value will
equal par
How can management alter capital structure
increase leverage (increase debt and reduce equity by repurchasing shares (paying a dividend)) or decreasing leverage (retire outstanding debt or issue new equity)
price and discount rate are related how

its coupon rate

goals of financial management
maximize current market value per share of the existing stock
conflicts of interests
monitoring costs, bonding costs, residual costs
