Which one of the following is correct based on the static theory of capital structure? The costs of financial distress decrease the value of a firm. The more debt a firm assumes, the greater the incentive to acquire even more debt until such time as the firm is financed with 100 percent debt. A firm receives the greatest benefit from debt financing when its tax rate is relatively low. A debt-equity ratio of 1 is considered to be the optimal capital structure.

The costs of financial distress decrease the value of a firm.

Which one of the following statements concerning capital structure weights is correct? Target capital structure rates for a firm are irrelevant to individual projects. The weights are unaffected when a bond issue matures. An increase in the debt-equity ratio will increase the weight of the common stock. The repurchase of preferred stock will increase the weight of debt. The issuance of additional shares of common stock will increase the weight of both the common and preferred stock.

The repurchase of preferred stock will increase the weight of debt.

The unlevered firm will have higher EPS than the levered firm at relatively high levels of EBIT. The EPS for the unlevered firm will always exceed those of the levered firm. The unlevered firm will have higher EPS at relatively low levels of EBIT.

The unlevered firm will have higher EPS at relatively low levels of EBIT.

Suppose Hornsby Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.59 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.09, $2.16, $2.33, and $2.43 per share in the last four years. If the stock currently sells for $78, what is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity capital using arithmetic and geometric growth rates?

To use the dividend growth model, we first need to find the growth rate in dividends. So, the increase in dividends each year was: g =(2.16-2.09)/2.09 = 0.03 or 3.3% g =(2.33-2.16)/2.16 = 0.08 or 7.9% g=(2.43-2.33)/2.33 =0.04 or 4.3% g =(2.59-2.43)/2.43 = 0.07 or 6.6% So, the average arithmetic growth rate in dividends was: g = (0.03+0.08+0.04+0.07)/4= 0.055 or 5.5% Using this growth rate in the dividend growth model, we find the cost of equity is: RE = [$2.59(1.055)/$78 +0.055 = 0.090 or 9.00% Calculating the geometric growth rate in dividends, we find: $2.59 = $2.09(1 + g)4 g = .055or 5.5% The cost of equity using the geometric dividend growth rate is: RE = [$2.59(1.055)/$78] + .0.055 = 9.00%

WACC

Bargeron Corporation has a target capital structure of 61 percent common stock, 6 percent preferred stock, and 33 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 13.6 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 6.6 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 8.3 percent. The relevant tax rate is 34 percent. What is the company's WACC? What is the aftertax cost of debt?

WACC = 10.50% After tax cost of debt = 5.48% Weight of common stock = 61% Weight of Preferred stock = 6% Weight of Debt = 33% Cost of Equity = 13.60% Cost of Preferred stock = 6.6% Cost of Debt = 8.3% Tax rate = 34% Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = Weight of equity * cost of equity + weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock + weight of debt * cost of debt * (1-tax rate) WACC = 0.61 * 0.136 + 0.06*0.066 + 0.33 * 0.083 * (1-0.34) = 0.08296 + 0.00396 + 0.0180774 = 0.1049974 or 10.50% (rounded off) After tax cost of debt = 0.083 * (1-0.34) = 0.05478 or 5.48% (rounded off)

Bonaime, Inc., has 7.9 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $62.90, and the book value per share is $5.90. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $71.9 million, a coupon rate of 7.4 percent, and sells for 88.5 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $36.9 million, a coupon rate of 8.4 percent, and sells for 87.5 percent of par. The first issue matures in 18 years, the second in 10 years. The most recent dividend was $3.80 and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 40 percent. What is the company's WACC?

WACC= (E/V)*Re+(P/V)*Rp+(D/V)*Rd*(1-Tc) .....................???

What is the weighted average cost of capital for a firm with a debt to equity ratio of 1.0 if their bonds yield 8.5%, the stock has a required rate of return of 14.5% and the marginal tax rate for the firm is 40%? 9.8% 11.5% 12.8% 8.8%

Weight of debt = 1/(1+1) = 0.50 Weight of equity = 1/(1+1) = 0.50 WACC = [8.5 x (1-0.40) x 0.5)] + [14.5 x 0.50] 9.8%

What is the after tax cost of debt if the marginal tax rate is 30% and the yield to maturity on long-term bonds is 8.0%? 2.4% 8.0% 8.1% 5.60%

YTM= 8% Tax rate= 30% After tax cost of debt= 8*(1-.3)= 5.60%

Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $7 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $7.67 million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $7.97 million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $13.28 million to build. The following market data on DEI's securities are current: Debt: 45,700 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 22 years to maturity, selling for 94.3 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments. Common stock: 757,000 shares outstanding, selling for $94.70 per share; the beta is 1.27. Preferred stock: 35,700 shares of 6.3 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $92.70 per share. Market: 7.1 percent expected market risk premium; 5.3 percent risk-free rate. DEI's tax rate is 30 percent. The project requires $860,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational. a)Calculate the project's Time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. Assume that any NWC raised does not require floatation costs. b)The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of +3 percent to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEI's project. c)The manufacturing plant has an eight-year tax life, and DEI uses straight-line depreciation. At the end of the project (i.e., the end of Year 5), the plant can be scrapped for $1.57 million. What is the aftertax salvage value of this manufacturing plant? d)The company will incur $2,370,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 13,700 RDSs per year and sell them at $11,100 per machine; the variable production costs are $10,300 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow, OCF, from this project? e)Calculate the project's net present value f)Calculate the project's internal rate of return.

a) Cost of land: 7,000,000 Cost of plant: NWC: 860,000

In exchange for a $400 million fixed commitment line of credit, your firm has agreed to do the following: Pay 1.99 percent per quarter on any funds actually borrowed. Maintain a 2 percent compensating balance on any funds actually borrowed. Pay an up-front commitment fee of 0.21 percent of the amount of the line. Based on this information, answer the following: a. Ignoring the commitment fee, what is the effective annual interest rate on this line of credit? b. Suppose your firm immediately uses $229 million of the line and pays it off in one year. What is the effective annual interest rate on this $229 million loan?

a) EAR=(1+interest rate)^4-1/1-compensating balance %= (1+0.0199)^4-1/1-.02=8.37% b)Calculate amount received Interest paid=amount borrowed* annual interest rate= 229000000*((1.0199^4)-1)= 18,779,772 Amount received= (1-compensating balance %)*Amount borrowed-commitment fee*line of credit= (1-.02)*229000000-.0021*400000000=223580000 EAR=interest paid/amount received 18779772/223580000=8.40%

Malkin Corp. has no debt but can borrow at 6.5 percent. The firm's WACC is currently 10 percent, and there is no corporate tax. a. What is the company's cost of equity? b.
