Mm.2.
Roybus, Inc., a manufacturer of flash memory, just reported that its main production facility in Taiwan was destroyed in a fire. Although the plant was fully insured, the loss of production will decrease Roybus's free cash flow by $181 million at the end of this year and by $57 million at the end of next year.
a. If Roybus has 33 million shares outstanding and a weighted average cost of capital of 12.9%, what change in Roybus's stock price would you expect upon this announcement? (Assume that the value of Roybus's debt is not affected by the event.)
b. Would you expect to be able to sell Roybus stock on hearing this announcement and make a profit? Explain.
LAFCO Industries believes that its two primary product lines,
automotive and commercial aircraft valves, are becoming
obsolete rapidly. Its free cash flow is diminishing quickly as it
loses market share to new firms entering its industry. LAFCO
has $200 million in debt outstanding. Senior management
expects the automotive and commercial aircraft valve product
lines to generate $25 and 15 million, respectively, in earnings
EBITDA next year. The operating liabilities associated with
these two product lines are minimal. Senior management also
believes that it will not be able to upgrade these product lines
because of declining cash flow and excessive current leverage. A
competitor to its automotive valve business last year sold for 10
times EBITDA. Moreover, a company similar to its commercial
aircraft valve product line sold last month for 12 times EBITDA.
Estimate LAFCO's breakup value before taxes.
ERC is the largest logging company in the United States. Their logging reserves are being depleted and is in turn causing sales to fall. In addition,new environmental protection policies are making it very difficult for the procurement of new logging sites. As a result,their dividends are declining at a constant rate of 5% per year.Dividends paid at the end of last yer are 5$ per share, and the required rate of return on the stock is 15%.
a) what is the value of ERC stock?
b)Assess the estimation techniques of long term corporate investments, in your answer focus on the relationship between time and accuracy in stock valuation techniques?

- David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.arrow_forwardInfo Systems Technology (IST) manufactures microprocessor chips for use in appliances and other applications. IST has no debt and 50 million shares outstanding. The correct price for these shares is either $15.75 or $13.75 per share. Investors view both possibilities as equally likely, so the shares currently trade for $14.75. IST must raise $550 million to build a new production facility. Because the firm would suffer a large loss of both customers and engineering talent in the event of financial distress, managers believe that if IST borrows the $550 million, the present value of financial distress costs will exceed any tax benefits by $10 million. At the same time, because investors believe that managers know the correct share price, IST faces a lemons problem if it attempts to raise the $550 million by issuing equity. a. Suppose that if IST issues equity, the share price will remain at $14.75. To maximize the long-term share price of the firm once its true value is known, should…arrow_forwardThe Rock Timber Co.
