Alphabet (GOOGL) has yet to pay a dividend, but in spring 2018 it announced it would repurchase $8.5 billion worth
of shares over the year. (Actually, the exact amount was $8,589,869,056-known as a "perfect" number because it is
equal to the sum of its divisors). If the amount spent on share repurchases were expected to grow by 6.6% per year,
and Alphabet's equity cost of capital is 7.9%, estimate Alphabet's market capitalization. If Alphabet has 710 million
shares outstanding, what stock price does this correspond to?

Gentrix Inc. has two major sources of financing—common stock and long-term debt. They currently have 1,000,000 shares of stock outstanding, which are trading at a price of $20 per share. Two years ago, they issued $5,000,000 of 20-year debt to the general public at par value. The debt pays an annual coupon of 7%. The coupon is paid annually.
Given their current capital structure, Gentrix has estimated that their cost of equity is 15%. Gentrix faces a marginal tax rate of 40%.
It has been exactly two years since Gentrix issued their debt, and interest rates have increased. If the long-term debt is currently having a yield to maturity of 9%, what is the current value of the outstanding debt? Is it selling at a premium or discount to par value? (Remember that coupon payments of 7% are made annually rather than the semiannually.)
Based on Gentrix’s current capital structure, what is the firm’s weighted average cost of capital?
Assume that Gentrix currently has a capital structure that is…

- 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.
