Introduction: Cost of
a.

Explanation of Solution
Formula to calculate cost of equity:
rsL is levered cost of equity
rRF is risk free rate
b is beta
RPM is market risk premium
Substitute 5% for risk-free rate r, 6% for risk premium RP, 1.4 for beta to calculate the levered cost of equity:
Substitute 8% for debt rate , 30% for debt percentage, 70% percent for equity and 13.4% for cost of equity to calculate the unlevered cost of equity:
b.
To determine: the intrinsic unlevered value of operations.
b.

Explanation of Solution
c.
To determine: The value of tax shield.
c.

Explanation of Solution
The tax shield is calculated by multiplying tax rate with the interest. Tax shield for the first three years is same which is
Substitute $0.368 for tax shield, 5% for growth, 11.78% for unlevered cost of equity to calculate the tax shield horizn value:
d.
To determine: The total intrinsic value, maximum price per share, value of equity.
d.

Explanation of Solution
Substitute $44.692 for unlevered value of operations, $4.790 for value of tax shield to calculate the total intrinsic value:
Note: Due to constant value of capital structure, the value of FCF is used to calculate VOPS at horizon.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: THEORY AND PRACTIC
- Dynamic Energy Wares (DEW) has decided to change the manner in which it distributes its products to large companies. The change in the distribution system comes at a time when DEW’s profits are declining. The declining profits might not be the sole reason for the change, but it appears to be the primary impetus for the decision. It also appears that the new policy requiring DEW’s distributors to increase inventory levels before the end of the fiscal year will artificially inflate DEW’s sales for the current year. However, DEW’s new policy does not require the distributors to pay for any increased inventory until next year (six months), and any unsold inventory can be returned after nine months. So, if the demand for DEW’s products actually is decreasing, the impact will appear on next year’s financial statements. If the financial manager actually intends to artificially inflate DEW’s profits this year, she must realize that such actions eventually will “catch up” with her.

- $1.35 Million for the below question is incorrect, Machine A is $1.81 and Machine B is $0.46 Million. The Perez Company has the opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product it will need for the foreseeable future. Machine A costs $8 million but realizes after-tax inflows of $4.5 million per year for 4 years. After 4 years, the machine must be replaced. Machine B costs $17 million and realizes after-tax inflows of $4 million per year for 8 years, after which it must be replaced. Assume that machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components used in the machines. The cost of capital is 13%. Using the replacement chain approach to project analysis, by how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine?

- Wilbur and Orville are brothers. They're both serious investors, but they have different approaches to valuing stocks. Wilbur, the older brother, likes to use the dividend valuation model. Orville prefers the free cash flow to equity valuation model. As it turns out, right now, both of them are looking at the same stock-Wright First Aerodynmaics, Inc. (WFA). The company has been listed on the NYSE for over 50 years and is widely regarded as a mature, rock-solid, dividend-paying stock. The brothers have gathered the following information about WFA's stock: Current dividend (D) = $2.30/share Current free cash flow (FCF) = $1.5 million Expected growth rate of dividends and cash flows (g) = 5% Required rate of return (r) = 14% Shares outstanding 500,000 shares How would Wilbur and Orville each value this stock?arrow_forwardCompany P/S Multiples Facebook 13.33 Snap 18.22 Twitter 13.27arrow_forwardThe Perez Company has the opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product it will need for the foreseeable future.
