Assume that Firms U and L are in the same risk class and that both have EBIT=$500,000. Firm U uses no debt financing, and its cost of equity is rsU=14%. Firm L has $1 million of debt outstanding at a cost of rd=8%. There are no taxes. Assume that the MM assumptions hold. Graph (a) the relationships between capital costs and leverage as measured by D/V and (b) the relationship between V and D. Now assume that Firms L and U are both subject to a 40% corporate tax rate. Using the data given in Part b, repeat the analysis called for in b(1) and b(2) using assumptions from the MM model with taxes.

An analyst has estimated the value of a company using two valuation methodologies. The discounted cash flow (DCF) value is $200 million, comparable recent transactions’ value is $225 million. The purchase price paid for the recent comparable transaction included a 20% premium. The analyst has greater confidence in the comparable transaction method and therefore gives a weight of 60% to this methodology, with 40% weight to the discounted cash flow methodology. Estimate the weighted average value of the firm using these two valuation methodologies and using the weights or relative importance the analyst gives to each methodology.
You forecast the company RIO will have a sustainable ROE of 15% in the future, similar to the industry average of 15%. The company has a dividend payout ratio of 50% versus industry average of 50%. The company had less debt and operation leverage compare to industry, as a result , RIO has a beta of 1.8 versus the industry average of 2. Based on these information, should the company RIO have a higher or lower PE ratio than the industry average ? Given a risk free rate of 2% and market risk premium of 8%, what is RIO’s “intrinsic” forward PE ratio based on formula?
