You are an accountant for Davanzo Company. The president of the company calls you into her office and says, “I want to ask you about two issues. First, we need to sell one of our investments to raise $1 million because I think I have found a better investment. We could sell the bonds of Company X, which are currently worth $1 million even though they have an amortized cost basis of $950,000. But I don’t want to sell them because I like the steady stream of cash flow we get related to interest. Or we could sell the bonds in that dog, Company Z. These bonds are also worth $1 million, but they cost us $1.2 million. I hate to admit we made such a big mistake, and if they can somehow avoid bankruptcy, we may actually recover our investment. And then there’s that loss. I don’t want to report that. Second, I am going to use the $1 million to buy about 20% of the shares of Company M, but I seem to remember that there is some accounting rule that might affect how much we buy. I was also…

Dixit is currently selling paper cups which produce earnings before interest of $210,000 per year. You receive the following offer from your engineer friend.

The company pays out all of its earnings each year, so its earnings per share are equal to its dividends per share and this is currently $6.00 per share. The company's tax rate is 40 percent, its current cost of stock, Ks, is 8 percent, and its current stock price is $75 per share. Now assume that the company is considering issuing $3.75 million worth of bonds (at par) and using the proceeds for a stock repurchase. If issued, the bonds would have an estimated yield to maturity of 5 percent or interest of $187,500. The risk-free rate in the economy is 4 percent, and the market risk premium is 5 percent. The company's beta is currently 0.8, but its investment bankers estimate that the company's beta would rise to 0.9 if it proceeds with the recapitalization.
