Bonus Problem 19: Application of option theory to equity valuation (4%) Bonus Point (2%): Based on the learning on the payoff structure of options, please consider the following application of option theory in corporate finance. In the question, we focus on equity valuation. The equity in a firm is a residual claim, i.e., equity holders lay claim to all cashflows left over after other financial claim-holders (debt etc.) have been satisfied. Suppose V is the value of the firm (simply you can regard it as the sum of all the cashflows), D is the face value of the outstanding debt and other external claims. Explain how we can denote the payoff to equity holders on liquidation as an option. Please draw the payoff graph. Bonus Point (2%): How about the payoff to debt holders? How can you denote the payoff to debt holders on liquidation as a combination of an option and a risk-free debt? | Please draw the payoff graph. (Hint: remind the order (or the priority) to receive payments of different stockholders at the liquidation. In addition, you can either long the option or short the option. In both cases, you can simply assume the premium of option is zero. Assume all the firm's capitals consist of only equity and debt.).
