ETA is an all-equity firm with 50 million shares outstanding. It has $200 million in cash and expects future free cash flows of $80 million per year (with the next cash flow occurring in exactly one year's time). The Board of ETA can either use all excess cash to repurchase shares or for expansion. Suppose that ETA is able to invest the $200 million excess cash into a project that will increase the future free cash flows by 30% in year 1 (and cash flows stay constant at that level after year 1). This investment will not alter the risk of the business. ETA's cost of capital is 10% and assume that capital markets are perfect. If you were advising the board, what course of action would you recommend? Should ETA use the $200 million to expand or repurchase shares? Required: (a) Firm value with expansion is $ million.

Landman Corporation (LC) manufactures time series photographic equipment. It is currently at its target debt-equity ratio of .78. It’s considering building a new $66.8 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate aftertax cash flows of $7.93 million in perpetuity. There are three financing options: A new issue of common stock: The required return on the company’s new equity is 15.2 percent. A new issue of 20-year bonds: If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 7.1 percent, they will sell at par. Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the company’s ongoing daily business, the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC. Management has a target ratio of accounts payable to long-term debt of .10. (Assume there is no difference between the pretax and aftertax accounts payable cost.) If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the NPV of the new plant? Note: A negative answer should…

) Your firm has the following structure: you own all the shares of the Dixit paper cup company. Dixit has $2,000,000 of outstanding perpetual debt with a 10% coupon selling at par. Dixit is currently selling paper cups which produce earnings before interest of $210,000 per year. You receive the following offer from your engineer friend. He would help you liquidate Dixit’s assets and with the proceeds you could build solar powered scooters. Your financing would remain the same. You believe that there is a 75% chance that solar powered scooters would not be particularly successful. In this case they would generate only $100/year.

Assume the firm pays no taxes. b) What is the value of the solar powered scooters investment assuming a 15% discount rate? c) What is the value of your equity under each of these…
