Galaxy Corporation is proposing a recapitalization that would increase its debt level and interest cost. The company will sell new bonds and repurchase shares of its common stock with the proceeds. According to the company's CFO, the initiative will not affect net assets or operating profits, but it will raise earnings per share (EPS). Which of the following statements is CORRECT, assuming the CFO's calculations are correct? * Since the proposed plan raises Galaxy's financial risk, the company's stock price can fall even if EPS rises. More bonds will be issued under the plan, increasing their liquidity and, as a result, lowering the interest rate on the bonds that are currently outstanding. Since the plan is expected to raise EPS, net income is also expected to grow. If the strategy succeeds in increasing EPS, the stock price would rise at the same rate. If the plan decreases the WACC, the stock price is likely to fall as well.
In the Enron case, the company eventually turned to “back-door” guaranteeing of the debt of Chewco, one of its SPEs, to satisfy equity investors. Assume that a $16 million loan agreement required that Enron stock should not fall below $40 per share. If the share price did decline below that trigger amount, either the loan would be called by the bank or the bank could choose to increase the guaranteed number of Enron shares based on the new price (assume $32). If the bank decides to increase the number of shares guaranteed, what would be (1) the original number of shares in the guarantee and (2) the new number of shares? Why would it be important from an accounting and ethical perspective for Enron to disclose information about the guarantee in its financial statements?

Taxable income will decline.     d. The ROA will decline.     e. The tax bill will increase.
