The Blunt Trucking Company needs to expand its fleet by 40 percent to meet the demands of two major contracts
it just received to transport military equipment from manufacturing facilities scattered across the United States to
various military bases. The cost of the expansion is estimated to be $10 million. Blunt maintains a 30 percent debt
ratio and pays out 50 percent of its earnings in common stock dividends each year.
a. If Blunt earns S4 million in 2015, how much common stock will the firm need to sell in order to maintain its
target capital structure?
b. If Blunt wants to avoid selling any new stock but wants to maintain a constant dividend payout percentage of
50 percent, how much can the firm spend on new capital expenditures?
Suppose that Portsea Inc. is thinking about acquiring a firm in its industry for $150 million. The acquisition is expected to increase Portsea's free cash flow by $20 million in the first year, and this
contribution is expected to grow at a rate of 3% every year thereafter. Assume that Portsea currently maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.80, its corporate tax rate is 30%, its cost of debt is 4%,
and its cost of equity is 14% . Further assume that Portsea will maintain a constant debt - equity ratio for the acquisition. What is the free cash flow to equity (FCFE) for the acquisition in year 0 ?

Suppose you expect its sales to grow at a rate of 4% forever. Based on Nike’s past profitability and investment needs, you expect EBIT to be 8% of sales, increases in net working capital requirements to be 10% of any increase in sales, and capital expenditures to equal depreciation expenses. Nike pays 27% income tax. The opportunity cost of capital is 8%. Nike has 0.9 billion shares outstanding, $3.3 billion in cash, $1.2 billion in debt.
