Stephenson
Real
Estate
Recapitalization
Stephenson
Real
Estate
Company
was
founded
25
years
ago
by
the
current
CEO,
Robert
Stephenson.
The
company
purchases
real
estate,
induding
land
and
buildings,
and
rents
the
property
to
tenants.
The
company
has
shown
a
profit
every
year
for
the
past
18
years,
and
the
shareholders
are
satisfied
with
the
company’s
management.
Prior
to
founding
Stephenson
Real
Esiate,
Robert
was
the
founder
and
CEO
of
a
failed
alpaca
farming
operation.
The
resulting
bankruptcy
made
him
exiremely
averse
to
debt
financing.
As
a
result,
the
company
is
entirely
equity
financed,
with
8.7
milion
shares
of
common
stock
outstanding.
The
stock
currently
trades
at
$346.50
per
share.
Stephenson
is
evaluating
a
plan
to
purchase
a
huge
tract
of
land
in
the
southeastern
United
States
for
$65
milion.
The
land
wil
subsequantly
be
leased
to
tenant
farmers.
This
purchase
is
expecied
to
increase
Stephenson’s
annual
pretax
eamings
by
314
milion
in
perpetuity.
Kim
Weyand,
the
company's
new
CFO,
has
been
put
in
charge
of
the
project.
Kim
has
determined
that
the
comparny's
current
cost
of
capital
is
12.5
percent.
She
feels
that
the
compary
would
be
more
valuable
if
it
included
debt
in
#ts
capital
structure,
so
she
is
evaluating
whether
the
company
should
issue
debt
to
entirely
finance
the
project.
Based
on
some
conversations
with
investment
banks,
she
thinks
that
the
company
can issue
bonds
at
par
value
with
a
coupon
rate
of
8
percent.
From
her
analysis,
she
also
believes
that
a
capital
structure
in
the
range
of
70
percent
equity/30
percent
debt
would
be
optimal.
If
the
company
goes
beyond
30
percent
debt,
its
bonds
would
carry
a
lower
rating
and
a
much
higher
coupon
because
the
possibiity
of
financial
distress
and
the
associated
costs
would
rise
sharply.

Part II: Subsequent Expansions A few years after the initial expansion, Gonzaleswants to
build a plant and finance an operation that would manufacture and distribute its homemade salsa
and related products to supermarkets throughout the United States and Mexico. Mr. Gonzales,
CEO and family head, has begun planning this venture, even though construction is not expected
to begin until thecurrent expansion is complete and the company is financially stable, which
might take several years. Even so, Mr. Gonzales has some ideas that he would like you to
examine. The project’s estimated cost is $30 million, which will be used to build a
manufacturing facility and to set up the necessary distribution system. Gonzales tentatively plans
to raise the $30 million by selling 10-year bonds, and its investment bankers have indicated that
the firm can use either regular or zero coupon bonds. Regular coupon bonds would sell at par and
would have annual payment coupons of 12 percent; zero coupon bonds…

LO 15-7 Recommend the most appropriate financial institution for a hypothetical small business.
Seeing the Financial Side of Business
Dr. Stephen Hill, a successful optometrist in Indianapolis, Indiana, has tinkered with various inventions for years. Having finally
developed what he believes is his first saleable product (a truly scratch-resistant and lightweight lens), Hill has decided to invest
his life savings and open Hill Optometrics to manufacture and market his invention.
Page 504
Unfortunately, despite possessing true genius in many areas, Hill is uncertain about the "finance side" of business and the various
functions of different types of financial institutions in the economy. He is, however, fully aware that he will need financial services such as checking and
savings accounts, various short-term investments that can easily and quickly be converted to cash as needs dictate, and sources of borrowing capacity

Question 1
The GFA Company, originally established 16 years ago to make footballs, is now a leading producer of tennis balls, baseballs, footballs, and golf balls. Nine years ago, the company introduced “High Flite,” its first line of high-performance golf balls. GFA management has sought opportunities in whatever businesses seem to have some potential for cash flow. Recently Mr Dawadawa, vice president of the GFA Company, identified another segment of the sports ball market that looked promising and that he felt was not adequately served by larger manufacturers.
As a result, the GFA Company investigated the marketing potential of brightly coloured bowling balls. GFA sent a questionnaire to consumers in three markets: Accra, Kumasi, and Koforidua. The results of the three questionnaires were much better than expected and supported the conclusion that the brightly coloured bowling balls could achieve a 10 to 15 percent share of the market. Of course, some people at GFA complained about…
