Hasting Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1.5 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its beta is 1.4 (given its target capital structure). Vandell has $10.19 million in debt that trades at par and pays an 8% interest rate. Vandell’s current free cash flow (FCF0) is $2 million per year and is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. Vandell pays a 25% combined federal-plus-state tax rate, the same rate paid by Hastings. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%, and the market risk premium is 6%. Hasting’s first step is to estimate the current intrinsic value of Vandell. What is Vandell’s cost of equity? What is its weighted average cost of capital? What is Vandell’s intrinsic value of operations? (Hint: Use the free cash flow corporate valuation model from Chapter 7.) Based on this analysis, what is the minimum stock price that Vandell’s shareholders should accept?
Q.An all-equity company is considering borrowing $10,000,000 and using the borrowed funds to repurchase shares. The company's cost of equity is 9%. EBIT is expected to be $3,600,000 every year forever. Assume all available earnings are immediately distributed to common shareholders and all the M&M assumptions are satisfied. If the company proceeds with the capital restructing, what will be the value of the company according to M&M Proposition I without taxes?
Assume that IWT has completed its IPO and has a $112.5 million capital budget planned for the coming year. You have determined that its present capital structure (80% equity and 20% debt) is optimal, and its net income is forecasted at $140 million. Use the residual distribution approach to determine IWT’s total dollar distribution. Assume for now that the distribution is in the form of a dividend. Suppose IWT has 100 million shares of stock outstanding. What is the forecasted dividend payout ratio? What is the forecasted dividend per share? What would happen to the payout ratio and DPS if net income were forecasted to decrease to $90 million? To increase to $160 million? In general terms, how would a change in investment opportunities affect the payout ratio under the residual distribution policy? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the residual policy? (Hint: Don’t neglect signaling and clientele effects.)
Optimal Capital Structure with Hamada Beckman Engineering and Associates (BEA) is considering a change in its capital structure. BEA currently has $20 million in debt carrying a rate of 8%, and its stock price is $40 per share with 2 million shares outstanding. BEA is a zero-growth firm and pays out all of its earnings as dividends. The firm’s EBIT is $14,933 million, and it faces a 40% federal-plus-state tax rate. The market risk premium is 4%, and the risk-free rate is 6%. BEA is considering increasing its debt level to a capital structure with 40% debt, based on market values, and repurchasing shares with the extra money that it borrows. BEA will have to retire the old debt in order to issue new debt, and the rate on the new debt will be 9%. BEA has a beta of 1.0. What is BEA’s unlevered beta? Use market value D/S (which is the same as wd/ws when unlevering. What are BEA’s new beta and cost of equity if it has 40% debt? What are BEA’s WACC and total value of the firm with 40% debt?
Capital Structure Analysis Pettit Printing Company has a total market value of 100 million, consisting of 1 million shares selling for 50 per share and 50 million of 10% perpetual bonds now selling at par. The companys EBIT is 13.24 million, and its tax rate is 15%. Pettit can change its capital structure by either increasing its debt to 70% (based on market values) or decreasing it to 30%. If it decides to increase its use of leverage, it must call its old bonds and issue new ones with a 12% coupon. If it decides to decrease its leverage, it will call its old bonds and replace them with new 8% coupon bonds. The company will sell or repurchase stock at the new equilibrium price to complete the capital structure change. The firm pays out all earnings as dividends; hence, its stock is a zero-growth stock. Its current cost of equity, rs, is 14%. If it increases leverage, rs will be 16%. If it decreases leverage, rs will be 13%. What is the firms WACC and total corporate value under each capital structure?
Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Visscher Corporation. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 4%, and the market risk premium is 5%. 21-1 - VALUATION Visscher currently expects to pay a year-end dividend of $1.99 a share (D1 = $1.99). Visscher’s dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year, and its beta is 0.8. What is the current price of Visscher’s stock? 21-2 - MERGER VALUATION Hastings estimates that if it acquires Visscher, the year-end dividend will remain at $1.99 a share, but synergies will enable the dividend to grow at a constant rate of 7% a year (instead of the current 5%). Hastings also plans to increase the debt ratio of what would be its Visscher subsidiary; the effect of this would be to raise Visscher’s beta to 1.05. What is the per-share value of Visscher to Hastings Corporation? 21-3 - MERGER BID On the basis of your answers to problems 21-1 and 21-2, if Hastings were to acquire Visscher, what would be the range of possible…
