SupposeHawar are evaluating a project that requires an investment of $22 million today andprovides free cash flow of $2 million per year in perpetuity. This investment has thesame business risk as Hawar's existing projects. The corporate tax rate is 40%.(1) Imagine the firm proposes to raise $22 million to do the new project by issuingequity. What is the NPV of this project?(2) Alternatively, imagine that the firm finances the project with $22 million ofpermanent debt at a debt cost of capital of 6%. What is the NPV of the project in thiscase?(3) What will the share price be once the firm announces taking this project based onfinancing choice in (2)?

(1)The present value (PV) of the free cash flows is calculated using the formula for a perpetuity:…

Memo Corporation is about to launch a new product. Depending on the success of the new product, Memo has an equal probability of being worth $140 million, $125 million, $95 million, or $80 million next year. Assume that Memo is not subject to a tax payment and that its opportunity cost of capital is 5%. a. What is the value of Memo’s equity today if it is 100% financed by equity?Now assume that, instead of being all equity financed, Memo replace some of its equity with zero-coupon debt that has a face value of $100 million which will mature next year. Answer parts b and c under this assumption. b. What is the value of Memo’s debt today? Continue to assume that Memo’s value with be either $140 million, $125 million, $95 million, or $80 million next year, depending upon the success of the new project.c. What is Memo’s total value today, now that it is levered? Briefly explain your results.
Kohwe Corporation plans to issue equity to raise $50 million to finance a new investment. After making the investment, Kohwe expects to earn free cash flows of $10 million each year. Kohwe currently has 5 million shares outstanding, and has no other assets or opportunities. Suppose the appropriate discount rate for Kohwe's future free cash flows is 8%, and the only capital market imperfections are corporate taxes and financial distress costs. a. What is the NPV of Kohwe's investment? b. What is Kohwe's share price today? Suppose Kohwe borrows the $50 million instead. The finn will pay interest only on this loan each year, and maintain an outstanding balance of $40 million on the loan. Suppose that Kohwe's corporate tax rate is 35%, and expected free cash flows are still $9 million each year. c. What is Kohwe's share price today if the investment is financed with debt? Now suppose that with leverage, Kohwe's expected free cash flows wiH decline to $8 million per year due…
Now that your firm has matured, you are considering adding debt to your capital structure for the first time. Your all-equity firm has a market value of $16.00 million and you are considering issuing $1.60 million in debt with an interest rate of 8% and using it to repurchase shares. You pay a corporate tax rate of 25%. Assume taxes are the only imperfection and the debt is expected to be permanent. a. What will be the total value of the firm after the change in capital structure? b. What will be the value of the remaining equity after the change in capital structure?

Consider a firm that is currently all-equity financed. The firm produces a perpetual EBIT of $100m per annum and has an all-equity cost of capital (required return on equity) of 10 per cent. The corporate tax rate is 30 per cent, and the interest rate on debt is 3 per cent. The company is to be acquired under a LBO, under which an initial level of debt of $500m will be taken on, with repayment of $100m per year and interest on the principal at the end of each of years 1, 2, and 3. A level of debt of $200m will then be maintained in perpetuity. a. Calculate the present value of interest tax shield, you may assume that you can discount any debt-related cash flows at the cost of debt. b. Calculate the value of the firm before LBO c. Calculate the value of the firm following LBO using the APV method

Globo-Chem Co. is an all-equity firm, and it has a beta of 1. It is considering changing its capital structure to 65% equity and 35% debt. The firm's cost of debt will be 10%, and it will face a tax rate of 25%. What will Globo-Chem Co.'s beta be if it decides to make this change in its capital structure? 1.82 Now consider the case of another company: US Robotics Inc. has a current capital structure of 30% debt and 70% equity. Its current before-tax cost of debt is 10%, and its tax rate is 25%. It currently has a levered beta of 1.15. The risk-free rate is 2.5%, and the risk premium on the market is 7.5%. US Robotics Inc. is considering changing its capital structure to 60% debt and 40% equity. Increasing the firm's level of debt will cause its before-tax cost of debt to increase to 12%. First, solve for US Robotics Inc.'s unlevered beta. Use US Robotics Inc.'s unlevered beta to solve for the firm's levered beta with the new capital structure. Use US Robotics Inc.'s levered beta under…
