Answer to Problem 9QP

The dividend received by the shareholder is $1,868.85.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Company S is a consumer products’ firm that is planning to convert its all-equity financing to debt financing at 25%. The outstanding shares are 6,100 and the price for each share is $60. The EBIT is expected to be $38,000 for one year forever. The rate of interest for the debt is 7%.

Note: It is necessary to compute EPS (Earnings per share) to compute the cash flow.

Formula to compute the total value of the company:

Total value of the company V=Price per share×Outstanding shares

Compute the total value of the company:

Total value of the company V=Price per share×Outstanding shares=$60(6,100)=$366,000

Hence, the total value of the company is $366,000.

Formula to calculate the dividend received by Person R:

Dividend received=EBIT(Person R's owned stockTotal value of the company)

Calculate the dividend received by Person R:

Dividend received=EBIT(Person R's owned stockTotal value of the company)=$38,000($18,000$366,000)=$1,868.85

Hence, the dividend received is $1,868.85.

b)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The cash flow of Person R as per the proposed capital structure assuming that she has the same 100 shares.

Note: It is necessary to compute EPS (Earnings per share) under the planned capital structure to calculate the cash flow.

Answer to Problem 9QP

The cash flow of Person R under the proposed capital structure is $2,070.

Explanation of Solution

Formula to compute the new debt:

New debt amount=Debt percent(Market value of the firm)

Compute the new debt:

New debt amount=Debt percent(Market value of the firm)=0.25($366,000)=$91,500

Hence, the new debt amount is $91,500.

Formula to calculate the repurchased shares:

Shares repurchased=New debt amountPrice of outstanding shares

Calculate the repurchased shares:

Shares repurchased=New debt amountPrice of outstanding shares=$91,500$60=$1,525

Hence, the repurchased shares are $1,525.

Note: The firm must make an interest payment on the new debt amount. Hence, compute the net income along with the payment of interest.

Formula to compute the net income:

Net income=EBITNew interest payment(New debt amount)

Compute the net income:

Net income=EBITNew interest payment(New debt amount)=$38,0000.07($91,500)=$31,595

Hence, the net income is $31,595.

Compute the EPS:

EPS=Net income(Outstanding sharesRepurchased shares)=$31,595($6,100$1,525) shares=$6.90

Hence, the EPS is $6.90.

Formula to compute the shares owned by the shareholders:

Shares owned=Stock owned by Person RPrice of oustanding shares

Compute the shares owned by the shareholders:

Shares owned=Stock owned by Person RPrice of oustanding shares=$18,000$60=$300

Hence, the shares owned by the shareholder is $300.

Formula to compute the cash flow:

Shareholder cash flow=EPS(Share of Person R)

Compute the cash flow:

Shareholder cash flow=EPS(Share of Person R)=$6.90(300 shares)=$2,070

Hence, the cash flow is $2,070.

Answer to Problem 9QP

The total cash flow of Person R under recreation of the original capital structure is $1,867.5.

Explanation of Solution

Formula to calculate the interest cash flow:

Interest cash flow=[Sale of shareholders shares(Price of outstanding shares)(Rate of interest)]

To replicate the projected capital structure, the shareholder must sell their shares at 25% or 75 shares at an interest rate of 7%. Hence, compute the interest cash flow of the shareholder.

Calculate the interest cash flow:

Interest cash flow=[Sale of shareholders shares(Price of outstanding shares)(Rate of interest)]=75($60)(0.07)=$315

Hence, the interest cash flow is $315.

Note: The shareholders will obtain the dividend payment on the balance 225 shares, compute the dividend received by the shareholders.

Formula to calculate the dividend received:

Dividend received=Earnings per share(Remaining shares)

Calculate the dividend received:

Dividend received=Earnings per share(Remaining shares)=$6.90(225 shares)=$1,552.5

Hence, the dividend received by the shareholders is $1,552.5.

Formula to calculate the total cash flow:

Total cash flow=Interest cash flow+Dividend received

Calculate the total cash flow:

Total cash flow=Interest cash flow+Dividend received=$315+1,552.5=$1,867.5

Hence, the total cash flow is $1,867.5.

An insurance company has liabilities of £7 million due in 10 years' time and £9 million due in 17 years' time. The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective. Find the nominal value of X (i.e. the amount, IN MILLIONS, that bond X pays in 7 year's time) such that the first two conditions for Redington's theory of immunisation are satisfied. Express your answer to THREE DECIMAL PLACES.
An individual is investing in a market where spot rates and forward rates apply. In this market, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 for two years, he will receive £7.4 at time t=2 years. Alternatively, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 at time t=1 for either one year or two years, he will receive £7.5 or £7.3 at times t=2 and t=3, respectively. Calculate the price per £5,000 nominal that the individual should pay for a fixed-interest bond bearing annual interest of 6.6% and is redeemable after 3 years at 110%. State your answer at 2 decimal places.
The one-year forward rates of interest, f+, are given by: . fo = 5.06%, f₁ = 6.38%, and f2 = 5.73%. Calculate, to 4 decimal places (in percentages), the three-year par yield.
