- David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.arrow_forwardDavid Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firm’s level of debt financing.

Recently, the company has fallen behind in its accounts payable. Although its terms of purchase are net 30 days, its accounts payable represents 60 days’ purchases. The company’s treasurer is seeking to increase bank borrowing in order to become current in meeting its trade obligations (that is, to have 30 days’ payables outstanding). The company’s balance sheet is as follows (in thousands of dollars): How much bank financing is needed to eliminate the past-due accounts payable? Assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan offered are 8%, simple interest, and the bank uses a 360-day year for the interest calculation. What is the interest charge for 1 month? (Assume there are 30 days in a month.) Now ignore part b and assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan are 7.5%, add-on interest, to be repaid in 12 monthly installments. What is the total loan amount? What are the monthly installments? What is the APR of the loan? What is the effective rate of the loan? Would you, as a bank loan officer, make this loan? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- Gainsborough Fashions Ltd operates a chain of fashion shops. In recent months the business has been under pressure from its suppliers to reduce the average credit period taken from three months to one month. As a result, the directors have approached the bank to ask for an increase in the existing overdraft for one year to be able to comply with the suppliers’ demands. The most recent financial statements of the business are as follows: Notes: 1The loan notes are secured by personal guarantees from the directors. 2The current overdraft bears an interest rate of 12 per cent a year. Required: (a)Identify and discuss the major factors that a bank would take into account before deciding whether or not to grant an increase in the overdraft of a business. (b)State whether, in your opinion, the bank should grant the required increase in the overdraft for Gainsborough Fashions Ltd. You should provide reasoned arguments and supporting calculations where necessary.arrow_forwardYou are considering investing in Dakota's Security Services. You have been able to locate the following information on the firm: Total assets are $32.6 million, accounts receivable are $4.46 million, ACP is 25 days, net income is $4.83 million, and debt-to-equity is 1.3 times. All sales are on credit. Dakota's is considering loosening its credit policy such that ACP will increase to 30 days. The change is expected to increase credit sales by 6 percent. Any change in accounts receivable will be offset with a change in debt. No other balance sheet changes are expected. Dakota's profit margin will remain unchanged. How will this change in accounts receivable policy affect Dakota's net income, total asset turnover, equity multiplier, ROA, and ROE? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations.

- Declan Ross wants to sell his business. The firm has no debt and earns an 8% return (ROE) on equit of $150,000. Declan Ross wants to sell his business. The firm has no debt and earns an 8% return (ROE) on equity of $150,000. The business can borrow at an after-tax rate of 5%. A consultant has advised that the business will be worth more if its financial statements show a higher return on equity (ROE = net income/equity). Unfortunately, an increase in profitability isn’t feasible. The consultant also says that leverage can sometimes be used to improve ROE, and that since the firm earns a higher return (8%) than the after-tax loan rate (5%), borrowing money to reduce equity will increase ROE. How much will Declan have to borrow to raise his firm’s ROE to 12%? (Hint: First calculate net income using the definition of ROE. Then assume Declan borrows $40,000, reducing equity by the same amount. Recalculate net income and ROE. Repeat with different debt amounts until ROE is close to 12%.arrow_forwardCalculating Fees on a Loan Commitment During the last year you have had a loan commitment from your bank to fund inventory purchases for your small business. The total loan available was $1,120,000, of which you took down $870,000. It is now the end of the loan commitment period and your bank is asking you to pay the back-end fees. You have misplaced the paperwork that listed the terms of the commitment, but you know you paid total fees (this does not include any interest paid to borrow the $870,000) of $5,110 on this loan commitment. You remember that the up-front fee was 30 basis points, what is the back-end fee on this loan commitment.arrow_forwardAirport Accessories (AA) has several loans outstanding with a local bank. The loan contract contains an agreement that AA must maintain a current ratio of at least 0.90. Micah, the assistant controller, estimates that the year-end current assets and current liabilities will be $2,100,000 and $2,400,000, respectively. These estimates provide a current ratio of only 0.875. Violation of the debt agreement will increase AA’s borrowing costs because the loans will be renegotiated at higher interest rates.Micah proposes that AA purchase inventory of $600,000 on credit before year-end. This will cause both current assets and current liabilities to increase by the same amount, but the current ratio will increase to 0.90. The extra $600,000 in inventory will be used over the next year. However, the purchase will cause warehousing costs and financing costs to increase. Micah is concerned about the ethics of his proposal. What do you think?arrow_forward
