Suppose a company borrows $1 million debt to invest in a project that generates uncertain future cash flow (revenue) of 0~$2 million (when debt is due). The debt has to be repaid (interest rate is zero) when the project's cash flow is realized. Assume 46% of the cash flow (revenue) is lost upon bankruptcy (i.e., when debtholders control the firm). Also, assume that renegotiations are allowed and the manager may be allowed to stay if debtholders find it better than firing. Instead of equal bargaining power, if borrower has full bargaining power (borrower gets 100% of renegotiation), at what company cash flow does strategic default start to occur? 1.46 million 1.0 million 1.97 million 1.85 million

The manager of a firm at t=0 has to decide whether to liquidate or to continue. If he decides to continue in t=1, the value of the firm assets will be Va= €140 million assuming business recovers. Nevertheless, the most likely scenario ((1-p) = 85%) is that the company sales will continue declining. Then, company assets will be valued only at Vẞ = €78 million. At what debt value, we see an inefficiency case because Managers' Aversion to Liquidation. a. $60 million O b. None * C. $100 million d. $80 million Your answer is incorrect.

Suppose a company borrows $1 million debt to'invest in a project that generates uncertain future cash flow (revenue) of 0-$2 million (when debt is due).

Also, assume that renegotiations are allowed and the manager may be allowed to stay if debtholders find it better than firing.

Overnight Publishing Company (OPC) has $2.7 million in excess cash. The firm plans to use this cash either to retire all of its outstanding debt or to repurchase equity. The firm's debt is held by one institution that is willing to sell it back to OPC for $2.7 million. The institution will not charge OPC any transaction costs. Once OPC becomes an all-equity firm, it will remain unlevered forever. If OPC does not retire the debt, the company will use the $2.7 million in cash to buy back some of its stock on the open market. Repurchasing stock also has no transaction costs. The company will generate $1,320,000 of annual earnings before interest and taxes in perpetuity regardless of its capital structure. The firm immediately pays out all earnings as dividends at the end of each year. OPC is subject to a corporate tax rate of 22 percent and the required rate of return on the firm's unlevered equity is 13 percent. The personal tax rate on interest income is 20 percent and there are no…
