1.
Give two examples of each type of asset which a corporation or investor might own:
a.
Real assets (2.5 pts.)
b.
Financial Assets (2.5 pts.)
2.
A bank has made a $100 million loan to TEcho Corporation which is due in one year. The
liquidation value of TEcho’s assets is $75 million today, including $5 million cash. The bank believes that TEcho’s business will continue to decline and that the liquidation value in one year, when the loan is due, will be $40 million. The executives of TEcho own the majority of TEcho’s outstanding equity and have the right to use the company’s
cash for any purpose they see fit. Answer the following questions (Take all facts as given and do not alter the gambling odds):
a.
If the bank can do so, will it try to put the company in liquidation today, or wait until the loan is due? (5 pts.)
b.
Will the shareholders fight the bank’s attempt at immediate liquidation? Why or
why not? (5 pts.)
c.
TEcho executives plan to go to Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana and put the $5 million of cash on the number 22 at a roulette table. (The odds of winning
on a single number are 1 in 38 or 2.63%. That is, assume that the company earns
38 times the amount that it bets.) (5 pts. each)
i.
Should the bank support this move?
ii.
How much would the bank get back if the bet is successful?
iii.
How much would the bank get back if the bet is unsuccessful and TEcho defaults in one year?
iv.
What would the shareholder value be today if the bet is successful? v.
What would the shareholder value be today if the bet is unsuccessful?
vi.
How does the shareholder value differ from the shareholder value without making the bet in the successful case? In the unsuccessful case?
vii.
How does this illustrate a potential agency issue between a lender to a company versus an owner?
3.
Make a brief argument for and
against the maximization of shareholder value as the sole goal of a corporation (the Friedman doctrine). Your response should be 300 words or less. (15 pts.)
