The CFO wants to finance with 60% debt, but the president thinks it would be better to hold the percentage of debt in the capital structure (wa) to only 10%. The company is small, so it is not subject to the interest deduction limitation. Other things held constant, and based on th data below, if the firm uses more debt, by how much would the ROE change, i.e., what is ROEHigher - ROELower? Do not round your intermediate calculations. Operating Data Other Data Capital $4,000 Higher wd 60% ROIC = EBIT(1 - T)/Capital 12.00% Higher interest rate 13% %3D Tax rate 25% Lower wd 10% Lower interest rate 9% a. 3.75% b. 2.22% C 2.80% d. 2.54% e. 1,87%Suppose Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is considering divesting one of its manufacturing plants.

Goodyear has an equity cost of capital of 8,7%, a debt cost of capital of 6.7%, a marginal corporate tax rate of 38%, and a debt- equity ratio of 2.6. If the plant has average risk and Goodyear plans to maintain a constant debt equity ratio, what after tax amount must it receive for the plant for the divestiture to be profitable?Milton Industries expects free cash flows of $14 million each year.

- American Exploration, Inc., a natural gas producer, is trying to decide whether to revise its target capital structure. Currently it targets a 50-50mix of debt and equity, but it is considering a target capital structure with 90% debt. American Exploration currently has 7% after-tax cost of debt and a 14% cost of common stock. The company does not have any preferred stock outstanding. a. What is American Exploration's current WACC? b. Assuming that its cost of debt and equity remain unchanged, what will be American Exploration's WACC under the revised target capital structure? c. Do you think shareholders are affected by the increase in debt to 90%? If so, how are they affected? Are the common stock claims riskier now?Fowler, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $150,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $28,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 25 percent lower. The firm is considering a debt issue of $60,000 with an interest rate of 7 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 10,000 shares outstanding. The firm has a tax rate 25 percent. Assume the stock price is constant under all scenarios. a-1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a-2. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate…Widget Corp. currently is financed with 10% debt and 90% equity. However, its CFO has proposed that the firm issue new long-term debt and repurchase some of the firm’s common stock. Its advisers believe that the long-term debt would require a before-tax yield of 10%, while the firm’s basic earning power is 14%. The firm’s operating income and total assets will not be affected. The CFO has told the rest of the management team that he believes this move will increase the firm’s stock price.

Basic earning power (BEP) Cost of equity (rs) Net income Cost of debt (rd) Return on assets (ROA)
- An unlevered firm has a value of $900 million. An otherwise identical but levered firm has $180 million in debt at a 4% interest rate, which is its pre-tax cost of debt. Its unlevered cost of equity is 12%. No growth is expected. Assuming the federal-plus-state corporate tax rate is 25%, use the MM model with corporate taxes to determine the value of the levered firm. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. S millionSuppose Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is considering divesting one of its manufacturing plants. The plant is expected to generate free cash flows of $1.49 million per year, growing at a rate of 2.3% per year. Goodyear has an equity cost of capital of 8.6%, a debt cost of capital of 6.7%, a marginal corporate tax rate of 34%, and a debt-equity ratio of 2.4. If the plant has average risk and Goodyear plans to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what after-tax amount must it receive for the plant for the divestiture to be profitable? A divestiture would be profitable if Goodyear received more than $ million after tax. (Round to one decimal place.)Globex Corp. is an all-equity firm, and it has a beta of 1. It is considering changing its capital structure to 60% equity and 40% debt. The firm's cost of debt will be 6%, and it will face a tax rate of 25%.

- Companies that use debt in their capital structure are said to be using financial leverage. Using leverage can increase shareholder returns, but leverage also increases the risk that shareholders bear. Consider the following case: Universal Exports Inc. is a small company and is considering a project that will require $650,000 in assets. The project will be financed with 100% equity. The company faces a tax rate of 25%. What will be the ROE (return on equity) for this project if it produces an EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of $140,000? 16.15% 12.11% 11.30% 13.73% Determine what the project’s ROE will be if its EBIT is –$40,000. When calculating the tax effects, assume that Universal Exports Inc. as a whole will have a large, positive income this year. -5.06% -4.37% -4.6% -4.14% Universal Exports Inc. is also considering financing the project with 50% equity and 50% debt.

Its current capital structure consists of 25% debt and 75% equity; however, the CEO believes that the firm should use more debt. The risk-free rate, rRF, is 6%; the market risk premium, RPM, is 6%; and the firm's tax rate is 40%. Currently, the company’s cost of equity is 14%, which is determined by the CAPM. What would be the companies estimated cost of equity if it changed its capital structure to 50% debt and 50% equity? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate steps.As a consultant to First Responder Inc., you have obtained the following data (dollars in millions). The company plans to pay out all of its earnings as dividends, hence g = 0. Also, no net new investment in operating capital is needed because growth is zero. The CFO believes that a move from zero debt to 80.0% debt would cause the cost of equity to increase from 10.0% to 14.0%, and the interest rate on the new debt would be 9.0%. What would the firm's total market value be if it makes this change? Hints: Find the FCF, which is equal to NOPAT = EBIT(1 - T) because no new operating capital is needed, and then divide by (WACC - g). Do not round your intermediate calculations. Oper. income (EBIT) $800 Tax rate 25.0% New cost of equity (rs) 14.00% New wd 80.0% Interest rate (rd) 9.00% $5,854 $4,917 $6,205 $7,317 $5,561
