2. An analyst for Acme, R. Runner, has recommended that Peter the Anteater purchase shares in a private firm (a firm that is not traded on any exchange) called Dynamite Corp. Dynamite has 30% debt and 70% equity. R. Runner believes that Dynamite will generate a return of 10% over the next year. Since Y. Lee is new to the job, he decides to do a little research on his own. He finds a company, Explosions Unlimited, that has very similar business as Dynamite. Explosions has an equity beta of 1.05 and is composed of 40% debt and 60% equity. Should Peter the Anteater buy the stock? The expected return on the market is 12% and the expected risk-free rate is 5%.
Santos Unlimited (SU) was originally unlevered with 4500 shares outstanding. However, after a major financial restructure, SU now has $39000 of debt, with an annual interest expense of 7 percent. The restructuring has reduced the number of shares to 3800. A group of shareholders of SU are not convinced that this move towards adopting financial leverage is a good idea. Their main argument is that there is now some range of EBIT, however low, that will make the shareholders worse off than before. Help understand the situation better by computing the level of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) that would make shareholders indifferent between being unlevered (i.e. not having any debt) and levered (i.e. having debt). Assume a 30 percent corporate tax rate. Answer: $
MyTel Corp, an Internet service provider, has prospered during the past seven years, and recently the company's share price has shot up to $248.00. MyTel's management wishes to decrease the share price to the range of $106.00 to $129.00, which will be attractive to more investors. Should the company issue a 100 percent stock dividend or split the stock? Why? If you propose a stock spilt, state the split ratio that will accomplish the company's objective. Show your computations. COD The company has two options: to split the stock or to issue a 100% stock dividend. If it uses a 2-for-1 stock split ratio, then both options will decrease the company's stock price to $
Please provide the correct solution. Previously it has been partially incorrect, so this is a repost. Please double-check the yes or no question and the calculations. Stocks that don't pay dividends yet Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $5.00000 dividend at that time (D₃ = $5.00000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 26.00000% for the following two years (D₄ and D₅). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin’s dividend to grow at a constant rate of 4.26000% per year. Goodwin’s required return is 14.20000%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin’s horizon value at the horizon date (when constant growth begins) and the current intrinsic value.

Zee Manufacturing’s value of operations is equal to $1,800 million after a recapitalization (the firm had $ 200 million debt before the recap). Zee raised additional $400 million in new debt and used this to buy back the stocks. Zee had no short-term investments before or after the recap. After the recap, wd = 0.35.

Metallica Bearings, Incorporated, is a young startup company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next 8 years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will then pay a dividend of $14.00 per share 9 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5.75 percent per year, thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 13.75 percent, what is the current share price? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Current share price

Assume that $500 million of Power’s long-term debt is due and the board of directors are meeting to discuss a proposed plan of retiring the $500 million of long-term debt and replace it with additional common stock. It is estimated that the issuance of additional stock will increase the market capitalization by $500 million. What would be the effect of these plans on Power’s Altman Z-score and its perceived risk of bankruptcy had the plan been executed just before the end of 2018? Discuss, and provide calculations to support your analysis.
