Consider a two-date binomial model. A company has both debt and equity in its capital structure. The value of the company is 100 at Date 0. At Date 1, it is equally like that the value of the company increases by 20% or decreases by 10%. The total promised amount to the debtholders is 100 at Date 1. The riskfree interest rate is 10%. a. What is the value of the debt at Date 0? What is the value of the equity at Date 0? b. Suppose the government announces that it guarantees the company’s payment to the debtholders. How much is the government guarantee worth?
The current value of a firm is $1,400. Te firm has $1,000 in pure debt due in one year and the risk-free rate is 6%. The firm's asset will be worth either $1,200 or $1,500 in one year. What is the interest rate on the debt? A. 6.0% B. 7.0% C. 7.5% D. 11.0% E. 13.0%
Can you please answer this part c follow up question: c) Suppose the initial £90,000 is raised by borrowing at the risk-free interest rateinstead of issuing equity.

If An investment costs $23,958 and will generate cash flow of $6,000 annually for five years. The firm's cost of capital is 10 percent? a. What is the investment's internal rate return?

At the present time, t = 0, your company has assets-in-place and $200m in cash. One period from now, t=1, assets-in-place will have a value of $600m, with probability 1/2, and $200m, with probability 1/2. The beta of these assets is zero. Your company also has an outstanding debt with face value $400m, due at t=1. The company has an investment project; that requires at t=0 an investment of $160m and will have a certain payoff of $200m at t=1. The risk-free rate is zero, and there are no taxes. a) Should your company take the project? b) Discuss how your answer would change if you finance this project with secured debt.
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?
A company needs ghc1000 to finance its activities. The firm can finance this expenditure either by bonds or equity. Interest rate on bonds is 10%.

Assuming the firm faces one-quarter probability of good years; What will be the stream of returns on both bonds and equity if the company chooses the following financing options? i. a. 100% equity financing ii. 50% equity financing iii. 20% equity financing iv. 0% equity financing Estimate the equity risk associated with each option in (a) As an investor who wants to purchase a share in the company, which financing option will make you purchase the stock.

The value of a firm's future cash flows is estimated at 230M. The continuously compounded risk-free rate is 3%. The duration of firm's debt is 11 years. The face value of the firm's debt is 280M. The volatility of firm cash flows is 0.22. The firm pays no dividends. Use the notion of equity as a call option on the value of the firm. Let the firm now accept a project that has an NPV of -10M and increases the volatility of the firm to 0.30. What is the new value of the firm's equity?
Royal Bank of Belgium (RBB) will be worth €100 million or €120 million with equal probability in one year. RBB is highly leveraged and has bonds outstanding promising to pay €90 million next year. RBB is considering a risky project that will payoff €50 million or -€65 million with equal probability. Would RBB’s shareholders want you to engage in the risky project? What is the expected payoff to RBB’s existing shareholders? How would your answers change if the bondholders could convert the bond to 80% of RBB’s equity?
(c) Suppose an insurance company has £350 million in capital available. The gain from an investment portfolio of this bank during 12-month period is normally distributed with a mean of £70 million and a standard deviation rate of £160 million. The insurance company considers 99% 12-month value at risk (a=2.33) for setting its economic capital. Assume the 1% tail of the loss distribution has the following values: 0.6% probability corresponds to a £700 million loss and 0.4% probability corresponds to a £20 million loss. Calculate annual risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) of the investment portfolio, which considers the expected tail loss.
