10
million shares outstanding. Suppose Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing
$10
million and repurchasing shares.
a. With perfect capital markets, what will the share price be after this announcement?

$4.55
after this announcement, what is the PV of financial distress costs Hawar will incur as the result of this new debt?

You expect X-Co will pay a dividend of $76 million and repurchase $100 million of its common shares next year (Year 1) with both expected to grow 8% in Year 2 and 6% in Year 3. If you expect the company to be sold for $12 billion at the end of Year 3, and you have calculated the cost of equity to be 8.4%, what do you estimate the true value of the company’s net worth to be now? (First draw a timeline. Assume all cash flows are at the end of the year.)
A company with 200 million shares outstanding and no debt plans to issue permanent debt with a face value of $1,500 million in order to repurchase some of its shares. When this plan is announced, the company's share price jumps from $11.41 to $13.86. What is the company's tax rate, if we assume that its savings from debt tax shields are as risky as its debt? (Express your answer as a fraction rounded to four decimal places. For example, if your answer is 34.56%, you should enter 0.3456 as your answer.)

- Suppose IWT has decided to distribute $50 million, which it presently is holding in liquid short-term investments. IWT’s value of operations is estimated to be about $1,937.5 million; it has $387.5 million in debt and zero preferred stock. As mentioned previously, IWT has 100 million shares of stock outstanding.
