Ogier Incorporated currently has $800 million in sales, which are projected to grow by 10% in Year 1 and by 5% in Year 2. Its operating profitability ratio (OP) is 10%, and its capital requirement ratio (CR) is 80%? What are the projected sales in Years 1 and 2? What are the projected amounts of net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) for Years 1 and 2? What are the projected amounts of total net operating capital (OpCap) for Years 1 and 2?

A firm will earn a taxable net return of $500 million next year. If it took on debt today, it would have to pay creditors\varepsilon(rDebt) = 5% + 10% x wDebt2. Thus, if the firm has 100% debt, the financial markets would demand 15% expected rate of return. Further, assume that the financial markets will lend the firm capital at this overall net cost of 15%, regardless of how the firm is financed. The firm is in the 25% marginal tax bracket. 1. If the firmis fully equity-financed, what is its value? 2. Using APV, if the firm is financed with equal amounts of debt and equity today, what is its value? 3. Using WACC, if the firm is financed with equal amounts of debt and equity today, what is its value? 4. Does this firm have an optimal capital structure? If so, what is its APV and WACC?

Imagine a firm with one period of operations. In case of a strong economy, the FCF from operations at year 1 will be $2,800. In case of a weak economy, the FCF at year 1 will be $1,800. Both scenarios are equally likely to happen. The risk-free rate is 3% and the equity risk premium is 12% per year. Under these circumstances, if the cost of levered equity is 28%, how much debt financing does the firm use? $1,070 $960 $1,110 $1,000 O $1,040
