Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Company P is a regional pizza restaurant chain. The given details are as follows,
EBIT is $50 million,
Tax rate is 40%,
Risk-free
Market risk premium is 6%,
Outstanding shares 10 million.
As of now company is financed with equity only, there is no debt. Now, the company wanted to raise capital by using some debt. When the company were to recapitalize, then debt would be issued, and funds received would be used as repurchase stock.
To determine: Values of Company L’s stock and debt and yield on debt.

You are given the following data: • k* = real risk-free rate = 4%. • Constant inflation premium = 7%. • Maturity risk premium = 1%. • Default risk premium for AAA bonds = 3%. • Liquidity premium for long-term T-bonds = 2%. Assume that a highly liquid market does not exist for long-term T-bonds, and the expected rate of inflation is a constant. Given these conditions, the nominal risk-free rate for T-bills is , and the rate on long-term Treasury bonds is
4%; 14%
4%; 15%
11%; 14%
11%; 15%
The risk-free rate on long-term Treasury bonds is 6.04%. Assume thatthe market risk premium is 5%. What is the required return on the market? Now use the SML equation to calculate the two companies’ requiredreturns.
Suppose the CAPM is true. Consider two
assets, X and Y, and the market M. Suppose
cov(X,M) = .3, cov(Y,M) = .5.
%3D
(a) Is the expected return higher on X or Y?
(b) Suppose var(M) = 1.5, what are the betas
of X and Y?
(c) Suppose the expected market return is
20% and the risk free rate is 5%, what is the
expected returns of X and Y?.
(d) Given your analysis in (a)-(c), what type
of investor would prefer asset X to asset Y?

For a bond with fixed annual coupons, its value is equal to the present value of all its annual interest payments and its maturity value as shown in the equation below: Bond's value = VB: Int. Int. (1+ra)² (1+ra)² N + ·+...+ Int. M + (1+ra)* (1+ra) Int. M (1+ra) (1+ra)N + We could use the valuation equation shown above to solve for a bond's value; however, it is more efficient to use a financial calculator. Simply enter N as years to maturity, I/YR as the going annual interest rate, PMT as the annual coupon payment (calculated as the annual coupon interest rate times the face value of the bond), and FV as the stated maturity value. Once those inputs are entered in your financial calculator, you can solve for PV, the value of the bond. Remember that the signs for PMT and FV should be the same, so PV will have an opposite sign. Typically, you would enter PMT and FV as positive…arrow_forwardSuppose that y is the yield on a perpetual government bond that pays interest at the rate of $1 per annum.
